MAG
Insulation offers insulation systems that can meet or exceed all of
your building specifications. The Blow-In-Blanket® is a patented
insulation system that blows white fiberglass insulation into walls,
floors, attics, and cathedral ceilings.
In new construction, the fiber
is blown behind mesh or netting, forming a seamless blanket of
insulation. The Blow-In-Blanket® system makes custom batts right on the
job site, completely filling around wiring and fixtures, eliminating
costly voids and air gaps.
Reduced Air Infiltration
National
laboratory tests show the Blow-In-Blanket® system reduces air
infiltration up to 68% over conventional batt-type insulation.
Higher Efficiency R-Values
The Blow-In-Blanket® system's higher density insulation delivers higher R-values.
Excellent Sound Control
The
Blow-In-Blanket® system completely fills around objects inside the wall
cavity, resulting in excellent sound control. MAG Insulation for
specific STC Ratings.
Non-Settling
The
Blow-In-Blanket® system does not settle. The patented process of
injecting the fiber behind a dust free netting eliminates settling.

"The wave of the future is SPF - Sprayed-in place Polyurethane Foam," says
Craig DeWitt, Ph. D., P.E., President of RLC Engineering, Clemson, SC.
"The use of SPF offers exciting potential for enhancing not only the
thermal efficiency of residential structures, but important structural
benefits and the potential for significant improvements in quality of
residents' lives."
