New Construction

A new home is one of the biggest investments a homeowner can make. Smart homeowners protect that investment by insulating their new home with the OPTIMA blown in batt system.

R. L. Garside was one of the first contractors in the area to offer the OPTIMA blown in batt system. This revolutionary system dramatically increases the efficiency of your new home.

Introduction the OPTIMA (tm) Blown In Batt System

The OPTIMA blown in batt system from CertainTeed gives your home a custom-designed, seamless, thermally efficient, sound-reducing blanket that completely fills any void.

Superior Thermal Performance

With this system, OPTIMA Fiber Glass Insulation is blown behind a special OPTIMA fabric. This allows the insulation to completely fill the wall space, eliminated voids around wires, electrical boxes and pipes. The OPTIMA system provides one of the highest R-Values possible in typical side-wall applications, providing an amazing R-23 in 2" x 6" walls.

Sound Proofing

By filling all the voids and gaps in a wall, the OPTIMA system significantly reduces the unwanted noise from traffic, appliances, TVs, stereos and heating or cooling systems.

Does Not Settle or Seperate

Finally, the unique design of the OPTIMA system keeps the insulation from settling or separating, which means the insulation will keep its thermal efficiency and sound-reducing properties for the life of your home.

"Bob, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for doing such a great job on our building. It was done in a timely fashion and with great craftsmanship.

The OPTIMA blown in batt system has got to be the greatest thing going. Our garage is 40' x 60' with 16' ceiling height and we only used about 250 gallons to heat the building the first winter. I would strongly recommend this insulation system to anyone and suggest your business for the installation.

Thank you again and we will be seeing you for the next addition to our building. Please feel free to use us as a reference for any of your customers."
