Knauf introduces Perimeter Plus
Blow-in-Blanket System
(SHELBYVILLE, Ind., April 18, 2006) Knauf Insulation
announces the introduction of Perimeter Plus, a high-quality
blowing insulation specifically designed for use with the
Blow-in-Blanket System (BIBS). Blowing Perimeter Plus into closed
cavities behind Perimeter Plus netting provides complete,
consistent coverage with high R-value performance.
Knauf Insulation's Perimeter Plus
Blow-In-Blanket System offers the highest R-value possible,
delivering up to an R-15 in 2x 4 construction and an R-23 in 2 x 6
construction. Perimeter Plus fills gaps and voids in the wall
cavity to create a thermal barrier from the outside air and also
reduced sound transmission from room to room-as much as a 4 to 10
point improvement in STC (sound transmission class) ratings.
BIBS is a patented netting system that holds loose-fill fiber
glass in place within the cavity, and has been tested and proven in
the field. Because Perimeter Plus is
engineered specifically for the blow-in-blanket application, it
doesn't settle within the cavity, assuring its thermal and
acoustical performance. Perimeter Plus is also certified by
the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute as a low-emitting product,
assuring excellent indoor air quality performance.
Knauf Insulation has built a reputation for premium quality
and easy handling. Knauf batts are preferred by the professional
contractor for low dust and quick installation, and its Jet Stream
Blowing Insulation for attics offers a faster process speed with
market leading coverage for R-30 efficiency. Perimeter Plus offers
the same quality, blowing in smooth and consistent with excellent
installed performance. Perimeter Plus enhances Knauf's building
insulation line with another excellent option for interior and
exterior wall cavities, and any irregular space where a blown-in
product can achieve better coverage and R-value.
Knauf Insulation is a leading global manufacturer of thermal
and acoustical insulations for residential, commercial, industrial,
OEM and metal building applications. For more information about
Knauf Perimeter Plus Blowing Insulation, contact your local Knauf
