Can a blown-in blanket system Sewanee homeowners want go into a house with plaster walls?

Only once the plaster is off. The netting is stapled across the face of the studs, so the bays have to be open. Plan it into the renovation schedule.

Is BIBS worth it in a Sewanee rental house?

Owners who rent to students and faculty like that full walls cut drafts and noise between rooms. It is a one-time job, and the fill does not settle out of place.

How is BIBS different from blown-in attic insulation?

Attic loose-fill lies open on the ceiling. BIBS is held inside the wall by netting so it stays packed top to bottom. Same kind of material, different job.

Should I use blown-in cellulose insulation in my walls instead?

Cellulose is paper fiber treated for fire resistance. Our wall work is fiberglass behind netting. We will go over both during the quote so you can compare.

How do I know the blow-in insulation contractor filled every bay?

Look at the netting before drywall. It should be tight and flat with the studs, with no soft spots at the top. We mark depth so you can check it yourself.

When should a Sewanee builder call to book BIBS?

After rough-in passes and before drywall. Call when the framing inspection is set. We are in the office Monday through Friday, 7 to 5.

Does Prince Insulation give free estimates?

Yes. Call (931) 580-0088 and we will look at plans or walk the house. Quick quotes are one of the things builders count on us for.

Is the blown-in blanket system Sewanee crews install the same one you use in the valley?

Same netting, same fiberglass, same crews. The only difference up here is the drive up the mountain.

Blown-In Blanket Insulation for Sewanee Houses on the Domain

A lot of Sewanee houses are older than anyone living in them, and plenty get opened down to the studs at some point. That is the moment for a blown-in blanket system Sewanee owners and builders can count on: netting across the studs, loose fiberglass packed behind it, every bay full. Prince Insulation has installed the blown-in blanket system and other fiberglass work across Franklin County since 1980, from a warehouse in Decherd a short drive down 41A.

From Netting to Drywall on a Sewanee BIBS Job

On a typical blown-in blanket system Sewanee job, we come in once rough-in work passes. Netting gets stapled tight across the studs. The installer cuts a slit in each bay, feeds the hose in, and fills it until the netting is flat with the framing. Then we check every bay before the drywall crew arrives. If a bathroom or addition needs batts instead, our fiberglass installers in Sewanee handle that on the same trip.

Builders up here ask for the same two things everybody does: answer the phone and show up. We return missed calls within an hour and keep the date we give. Plenty of Sewanee owners find us by searching blown-in insulation near me in the middle of a remodel. Prince Insulation is licensed and insured, and all work is guaranteed. If the attic above needs help too, we can price Sewanee attic insulation during the same walk-through.

Old Domain Houses Opened for Renovation

Older houses on the Domain were insulated with whatever was on hand when they went up, and sometimes that was nothing. When a remodel takes them down to framing, packing those bays costs far less than coming back later. Read about the BIBS process before your walk-through.

Installed Depth You Can See

Depth gets noted on the netting so the builder, the owner, and the inspector can see what is in the wall. Good blow-in insulation installers do not ask you to take their word for it.

Blown-In Fiberglass Above Sewanee Ceilings

We blow loose fill across attic floors with the same machine we use on walls. Blown-in fiberglass insulation flows around wiring, blocking, and odd framing rather than being cut to fit. Some ceilings still suit fiberglass batts, and we install those too.

Spray Foam Below, BIBS in the Walls

Some Sewanee projects get closed-cell foam at the rim joist and BIBS in the walls. Our three spray rigs and fiberglass crews run from one Decherd shop, so you are not juggling two blow-in insulation companies and a foam sub. If the space under the house is the real problem, look at crawlspace encapsulation in Sewanee.

A Crew Sewanee Can Schedule Around

Prince Insulation started in 1980 as a fiberglass shop run by Dewayne Hill's father-in-law. Dewayne took it over in 2008 and has grown it to twelve full-time employees. Just up the road, we also handle blown-in blanket work in Monteagle with the same crews.

Most Sewanee homes sit on land leased from the University of the South rather than owned outright. Houses on those leaseholds change hands and get renovated again and again, so old walls keep getting opened up. Each time one is, it is a chance to fill it right.

Steadier Temperatures Room to Room in Sewanee

Rooms on the north side stop running colder than the rest. Outlets on outside walls quit leaking air. Full bays also cut sound between rooms, which matters in houses rented to students and faculty. Nothing in the cavity can sag, so a blown-in blanket system Sewanee owners put in now still fills the wall years from now.
