Fiberglass remains the most cost-effective insulation system for many Burke projects, particularly when budget control or code-minimum compliance is the priority. We install it in three forms: cut-to-fit batts during framing-stage remodels and additions, BIBS netted dense-fill for closed walls in Burke Centre 1970s-80s homes, and blown loose-fill for attic top-ups over existing R-19 insulation. The choice depends on the assembly. For a basement finish or addition along Burke Centre Parkway where speed and code R-value matter most, batts are the right answer. For a 1980 colonial with closed walls full of wires and original settled batts, BIBS reaches every corner without lifting drywall.
BIBS for Closed Walls, Loose-Fill for Attic Top-Ups
The Blown-In Blanket System (BIBS) is the right answer for Burke Centre homes built between 1977 and 1992, where original R-11 wall insulation has settled and compressed. Our crews staple netting to the cavity face, then blow fiberglass to a verified 1.8 to 2.0 pcf density. The result is a custom layer that touches every surface, surrounds wires and outlets, and delivers the full rated R-value across the entire wall. In attics, blown loose-fill at 14 to 16 inches over the existing R-19 brings total insulation to R-49, eliminating the cold spots that come from compressed batts at the eaves.
Code R-Values, Ventilation, and Tax Credit Documentation
Burke falls within Fairfax County and Climate Zone 4A under the IECC, which sets minimums of R-49 in attics, R-13 to R-15 for 2x4 walls, and R-21 to R-23 for 2x6 walls. We meet or exceed these targets, with documentation submitted for the IECC inspection. Bath fans are confirmed to vent outdoors, recessed lights receive rated covers or safe clearances, and soffit baffles maintain attic ventilation channels so assemblies dry as designed. Low-VOC and formaldehyde-free fiberglass products are available on request, and we provide all the documentation needed for federal IRS Section 25C tax credits and Dominion Energy efficiency rebates at project close.
