Fiberglass That Fits McLean Architecture

McLean blends large custom homes in Langley and Ballantrae with classic colonials in Chesterbrook and Salona Village and ongoing infill near Old Dominion Drive and Chain Bridge Road. We match fiberglass to each assembly so comfort improves without unnecessary demolition. Blown-in fiberglass creates a continuous blanket in attics and reaches corners a roll cannot. Cut-to-fit batts serve open walls and ceilings during remodels. For walls packed with wiring and plumbing, our netted dense-fill approach, often called BIBS, forms a custom layer that touches every surface. With proper density and full cavity contact, rooms hold temperature more steadily through humid Potomac summers and cool mornings along the Beltway, and everyday noise softens in spaces that face Tysons and the GW Parkway.

Attic and Vaulted-Ceiling Upgrades for Complex Roofs

McLean homes often have long ridgelines, hips and dormers that create edge thin spots. We start by setting soffit baffles, sealing top plates and chases, and insulating plus weather-sealing the scuttle or pull-down stair so access is not the weak link. A level field of blown-in fiberglass follows, with raised platforms where storage is needed so coverage stays full depth rather than crushed under decking. Cathedral sections, short slopes behind knee walls, and rooms over garages are detailed so insulation touches the air barrier from corner to corner. When the garage lid, adjoining slopes and rim areas are treated as one connected boundary, bonus suites finally track the thermostat on July afternoons and January mornings.

Quiet Walls, Correct Facings and a Clean, Code-Ready Install

Open walls receive batts that are measured and trimmed around boxes, pipes and wiring for a gap-free fit. Higher density fiberglass or mineral wool can be placed in home offices, theaters and bedroom partitions to reduce sound while improving thermal control. We specify low-VOC options on request, orient kraft facings correctly when a vapor retarder is part of the plan, and use unfaced products when a separate air and vapor strategy is better for this mixed-humid climate. Recessed lights get rated covers or safe clearances, bath fans are sealed and ducted outdoors, and ventilation paths remain open so assemblies can dry as designed. The process aligns with Fairfax County requirements and common HOA expectations in neighborhoods like McLean Hamlet and West McLean, and you receive clear documentation of areas treated, products used and target R-values.
