Loose-Fill Insulation for Open Attics
Austin Insulation uses premium loose-fill insulation from multiple cellulose and fiberglass manufactures keeping an unbiased outlook on new and existing products. Our goal is to simply give our customers the best products and installation possible.
When adding loose-fill insulation to new and pre-existing attics, special attention is focused on the proper ventilation requirements. Attics are designed to intake fresh air through the soffit vents and exhaust through the roof vents. This cycling of fresh air is crucial in reducing and eliminating mold and condensation of wood framing members, ice damm issues, and extending the life of your shingles.
Drill and Fill for Existing Walls
Older buildings without insulation in the walls are addressed at Austin Insulation with a technique known as Drill & Fill. Where small holes are drilled through the exterior walls and all cavities are filled with cellulose loose-fill insulation. The ending R-value is R-13 for 2x4 constructed walls and R-21 for 2x6 constructed walls.
Drill & Fill is also used in interior walls, ceilings and floors for sound control and for fire walls in residential and commercial applications
Fiberglass Batts
Fiberglass batts come in a variety of sizes and faces depending on the situation, space available, and code requirements. The R-Values range from R-8 to R-38 and the facing material is available in Kraft Faced, Foil, Vinyl, and Unfaced.
The current code for new constructed homes in Michigan are as follows:
Exterior Walls: R-20
Attic ceilings: R-60
Floors: R-30
Basement Walls: R-13

Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Closed-cell spray foam is a high-density insulation material known for its superior thermal performance, moisture resistance, and structural integrity.
Cell Structure: Closed-cell spray foam consists of tightly packed cells that are completely encapsulated, making it denser and more ridged compared to open-cell spray foam. This structure contributes to its high R-value, typically 6.0 to 7.0 per inch.
Moisture Resistance: One of the key benefits of closed-cell spray foam is its ability to act as a moisture barrier. This prevents water from penetrating the foam, making it ideal for use in areas prone to humidity or water exposure, such as basements and crawl spaces.
Structural Integrity: The rigidity of closed-cell spray foam enhances the structural strength of buildings. It can increase racking strength by up to 200% in exterior walls and roof assemblies.
