Benefits of High-Density BIBS
The dense composition acts as a barrier against air and moisture infiltration. This helps to prevent mold growth and structural damage, ensuring a healthier home environment.
01
Sound Absorption
The density of the blown fiberglass helps to minimize sound transmission, making it a good choice for noise reduction in residential spaces
02
Thermal Efficiency
With the highest R-value on the market, this insulation provides superior thermal performance. This means it effectively maintains indoor temperature, leading to potential savings on energy bills
03
Allergen & Pest Reduction
By blocking outdoor pollutants, allergens, and pests, this insulation improves indoor air quality—ideal for allergy-prone households.
Recycled Content
BIBS insulation often uses fiberglass with at least 25% recycled content, conserving resources and reducing landfill waste.
Mold Resistance
BIBS uses mold-resistant materials, promoting healthier air quality and reducing the need for harsh chemical treatments
Fire Safety
Its natural nonflammability boosts safety and lessens the need for chemical fire retardants, making it more eco-friendly
Plant-Based Options
For a natural option, BIBS can use cellulose—a plant-based, renewable fiber—highlighting its sustainability

Frequently Asked Questions About BIBS (Blown-in Blanket System) Wall Insulation
How is BIBS installed?
BIBS insulation is installed by creating small holes in the exterior or interior walls of a building. The insulation material is then blown into the cavities using a pneumatic machine. Once the cavities are fully filled, the holes are sealed. This method allows for better coverage and reduced air leaks compared to traditional batt insulation.
What are the benefits of BIBS insulation?
- Energy efficiency: BIBS reduces heat loss and gain, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
- Soundproofing: It also helps to reduce noise transmission between rooms.
- Air tightness: The insulation reduces air leakage and drafts, making the home more energy-efficient.
- No gaps: Since it fills the entire wall cavity, BIBS minimizes gaps and voids, unlike traditional batt insulation.
- Environmentally friendly: Cellulose BIBS is made from recycled paper products, while fiberglass BIBS is made from non-toxic materials.
What materials are used for BIBS insulation?
BIBS can be made from different materials, including:
- Fiberglass: Non-combustible and highly durable.
- Cellulose: Made from recycled paper, it is a more environmentally friendly option but may require additional treatment to be fire-resistant.
Is BIBS wall insulation safe?
Yes, BIBS insulation is generally safe when installed properly. If using fiberglass, it’s important to wear protective gear during installation due to the small fibers. However, once installed and sealed within the walls, BIBS poses no health risks. Cellulose-based BIBS is considered safe and is often treated with fire retardants.
How does BIBS compare to traditional batt insulation?
BIBS offers several advantages over batt insulation:
- Better coverage: BIBS fills all gaps and voids in the wall cavity, while batt insulation may leave gaps.
- Energy efficiency: BIBS is more effective at reducing energy loss due to its continuous fill and tight fit.
- Soundproofing: BIBS offers better noise reduction properties.
How long does BIBS insulation last?
BIBS insulation is long-lasting, with a typical lifespan of 30 years or more. The materials do not settle or degrade easily, and they maintain their insulating properties for many years.
Can BIBS be installed in existing homes?
Yes, BIBS can be installed in both new and existing homes. For existing homes, small holes are drilled in the walls to blow the insulation into place. It’s a relatively low-disruption process compared to other insulation methods.
Is BIBS insulation expensive?
The cost of BIBS installation can vary depending on the size of the area being insulated, the materials used, and the complexity of the installation. While the initial cost may be higher than traditional batt insulation, BIBS can offer long-term savings on energy bills due to its improved efficiency.
How do I maintain BIBS insulation?
Once installed, BIBS generally requires very little maintenance. It does not settle or compact over time, and it does not need to be replaced unless there is significant water damage. Regular inspections for signs of water leakage or pest activity are recommended.
