B.I.B.S. System
Now there's an insulating system for sidewalls, cathedral ceilings,
floors, and any closed-cavity application that offers these time-saving
benefits:
- Up to 30% faster cavity fill
- More uniform application
- No adhesive required
- No fallout
- Less dust and fiber fly
- Quicker clean-up
- No drywall delay
InsulSafe® is the premier loose-fill insulation product in the world.
CertainTeed originally developed InsulSafe to meet the needs of the energy
crisis of the 1970s. It has more R-Value per pound than any loose-fill
product and quickly became widely accepted as the premier attic insulation.
InsulSafe is also ideal for sidewall retrofit applications and has been
widely used for years in the Blow-In-Blanket® System (BIBS).
BIBS® is a patented process that blows insulation into building
cavities. BIBS gives a home a custom designed, seamless thermally efficient,
sound reducing blanket that completely fills
any cavity, leaving no voids.
It has been known as the best insulation system available. Now, with the
Optima fiber, the Optima system becomes the optimum in BIBS.
The optima fiber is the latest development in the InsulSafe family. It
was specially designed for closed-cavity applications and does not require
adhesive. Optima is also designed to be installed using any CertainTeed recommended blowing machine, but must be
installed behind special Optima fabric helps reduce fiber fly and dust which
ultimately reduces clean-up requirements. CertainTeed recommends that
staples rather than glue be used when installing the fabric. Optima is not
appropriate for open-blow application.
- Optima is permanently noncombustible.
- Optima contains no chemicals that can corrode pipes or wiring.
- Optima does not absorb and retain moisture that can cause rot, decay,
or reduce thermal efficiency.
- Optima contains no chemicals to create noxious odors.
- Optima is not a source of food for insects or animals.
- Optima is backed with a limited lifetime warranty.
- Optima is as permanent as glass.
