Fiberglass Blown-in Insulation Systems, also known as the Polar Blanket, is one of the latest green building techniques used by Renaissance Homes. This system improves a home’s efficiency by filling the wall cavity completely, including the areas around pipes, cables and outlets. Polar Blanket gets into all the voids where traditional insulation can’t protect, creating a “blanket” of insulation and making a more energy efficient home. The Polar Blanket decreases air going through the wall cavity as it is applied as a dense pack application. The R-Value of polar Blanket is 23 and significantly helps reduce monthly utility costs by reducing air infiltration through the cavity walls. Renaissance Homes believes the Polar Blanket is one of the most important factors in energy efficiency and has allowed us to reduce monthly utility bills for gas and electric to $70 – $125 a month (without solar), depending upon size of the house. You can read more about Energy Performance Scores here and at our construction blog.
