MBM specializes in blown in insulation which works best in attics, but may also be blown into walls and sub flooring. There are three main types of blown insulation which is cellulose, fiberglass, and rock wool.

A fourth option is a combination of fiberglass and rock wool called mineral fiber. Cellulose is made up of shredded newspapers treated with fire retardant. Even though it's "paper" and sounds ineffective, it's actually a well-established insulating material with a good R-value. Not only that, cellulose settles better into wall cavities. Another upside is its Green attributes since it is commonly made up of recycled telephone books, tax forms and newspapers.

Fiberglass, rock wook and mineral fiber are also made up recycled materials; however, it is more expensive than cellulose because it is lighter and stands up better to moisture.

“We aren’t satisfied until you are satisfied.”

When installed properly, loose-fill insulation improves the energy efficiency of a home, lowers utility bills, and decreases fossil fuel burning and carbon dioxide emissions. To ensure that homeowners reap these benefits, MBM follows manufacturers' installation guidelines; determines if your house is properly ventilated (adequate ventilation is necessary to prevent too much heat and condensation from building up as well as to provide fresh air); checks for the correct R-value (rate of heat transfer; less is best) of the insulation for the job; and makes sure the insulation is installed in the appropriate places at the right density (to avoid gaps and fluffing and ensure effectiveness). MBM also checks your ventilation system is properly installed so no insulation can get into the system to cause problems.
