New Construction

Everguard Home Insulation specializes in working on already existing and built homes. Many contractors are using batting (rolls) in the floors & walls, but waiting until the drywall is up and instead blowing the attic with cellulose insulation. This is extremely popular in Arizona, Nevada and other states where top performance is sought. The cellulose blown insulation is far superior to batting material: it's safer, longer-lasting, more efficient, more effective, insect & rodent resistant, does not itch, costs less and has a lifetime guarantee. If, however, you require fiberglass batting, we refer:

WORKING IN AN ATTIC AFTER INSULATION
Homeowners often express concern about working in the attic after it has been blown with insulation. The good news is that homeowners often report that working in blown insulation is not nearly as difficult as they had imagined. The loose-fill material can simply be displaced with a dustpan and shifted out of the way temporarily when areas need to be worked in. Also, non-itchy cellulose provides an R-30 with only 8.1", which is much easier to work in then the 12" of very itchy fiberglass required to achieve the same R-30 rating.

Cellulose is easy to work in, it washes off easily and effortlessly. Fiberglass, even when rolled out, can still be dangerous to breathe and leave you miserably itchy. After insulating with blown material, many homeowners have installed recessed lighting, wired for computers, alarms and other such devices with no reported problems. The blown material does not become hard or damage from being walked on. You need only take care to stay on top of ceiling joist when working in the attic.
