| BIBS (Blow-in-Blanket System) | |||||
BIBS (Blow-In-Blanket System) is a patented insulation system using standard fibreglass insulation to manufacture a seamless blanket of insulation in cathedral ceiling and walls. It is a unique state-of-the-art insulation system that uses conventional fibreglass that is processed into a blowing wool. The insulation is blown through a hose and out a nozzle into the cavity behind a fibre mesh that is attached to the studs. Flat attic space is insulated with the same fibreglass that is used in the walls and cathedral. Since 1989, Thermo Seal Insulation Systems has insulated thousands of homes with energy efficient BIBS. No Settling:In cathedral ceilings where insulation has settled or was improperly installed leaving gaps and voids, expensive heat can escape. In winter this causes ice dams to form which decrease the life of a roof and lead to extensive damage of interiors. With the BIB system a special cardboard insert is installed to create a constant ventilation channel between the roof sheeting and insulation. The BIBS system eliminates settling and heat loss. Non-Settling:With the Blow-In-Blanket Systems (BIBS) you can rest assured that your insulation will last the lifetime of your home. Unlike ordinary blown-in insulation, the BIB System won’t settle from gravitational forces or household vibrations such as slamming doors. In the thousands of homes Thermo Seal Insulation Systems have insulated with the BIB system we never had one report of settlement. After extensive testing by CCMC their conclusion was BIBS doesn’t settle.

Only qualified contractors certified by Blow In Blanket LLC may install and market Blow-In-Blanket Insulation. Don't be fooled by imposters who claim to have the same system. Let us show you the best!
Irregular Framing Uniform Density:When conventional batts are installed in non-standard cavities or in irregular framed areas, problems occur. Batts must be cut to fit these areas, creating gaps and seams that allow air to escape and decreases the R Value. The BIB system manufactures a seamless blanket of insulation that custom fits any size or shape cavity. This guarantees a uniform R Value throughout the entire cavity, and controls air infiltration. Moisture Absorption Test:Insulation is required to absorb not more than 5% moisture by weight. The ASTM C-553 test showed that insulation used in the Blow-In-Blanket System absorbed a maximum of 3% moisture by weight. Acoustical Test:Acoustical tests done on products used in the Blow-In-Blanket System proved that sound attenuation for BIBS is 4 1/2 times better than that of batt insulation. Settling Test:Under CCMC Evaluation Report 13198-R, after simulated drop test (60 times from a height of 2.5 cm) there was no settlement. Fire Test:The Blow-In-Blanket System meets the criteria for smouldering combustion (HH-1-1030B), Flame spread (ASTM E-162), and non-combustibility (ASTM E-136). It qualifies as a Class 1 material under ASTM E-84. Test results (fibreglass BIBS):
