Premium Blown-In Insulation System

OPTIMA gives homes a custom-designed, seamless, thermally efficient sound-reducing blanket that completely fills any void. No other fiberglass product installs better or can be trusted to perform better than OPTIMA. OPTIMA insulation is blown behind a special OPTIMA fabric, or equivalent, in new construction. It can also be used for retrofitting existing sidewalls. This product is formaldehyde-free and is designed specially for closed-cavity applications.

Dense Pack with OPTIMA

OPTIMA blown-in fiberglass insulation provides the same reductions in air permeance as cellulose in dense packing applications—with a higher R-Value per inch, high recycled glass content and fewer packages required. Fiberglass doesn’t settle, won’t absorb moisture or support mold growth, and generates less dust during installation.

For additional dense pack information, contact your territory manager or refer to dense pack sell sheet (30-24-325).

OPTIMA MidFloor

Midfloor is a reference to the space between floors in residential, multifamily and commercial buildings. Using OPTIMA blown-in fiberglass insulation to fill this space improves acoustical performance by limiting the
noise transmissions between floor assemblies. OPTIMA also provides high quality fire protection benefits.

For additional midfloor information, contact your territory manager or refer to OPTIMA MidFloor Brochure (30-24-352).
