RBS Chips have been proven to be the most effective attic insulation in the world.  Now,
for a limited time, there is an opportunity to purchase RBS Chips direct from the manufacturer and install them yourself. 

• Remove or temporarily relocate all items in the attic above the attic insulation.  The goal is to cover as much of your attic area as possible with RBS Chips.  You can move the items back over the chips when you are done.
  
• Determine what type of insulation you have now by looking at the pictures below.  Blown in fiberglass (the most commonly used), can be white, yellow or pink and lumpy.   This is not good.  RBS Chips require that the top surface of the insulation be relatively smooth to insure best performance.  If lumpy, the Chips tend to build up in the low areas while leaving insulation exposed.  Exposed insulation is a path for energy to move.  There are two ways to deal with this: 1)  Go to Home Depot and buy ten bags of cellulose insulation, they will let you use the machine and hose for free for two days.  Blow a 2" cap over your existing insulation using the cellulose insulation.  The finished surface will be ready for RBS Chips.  2)  Pat the high spots of your existing fiberglass insulation with a kitchen broom or piece of thin plywood.  Don't worry about losing efficiency of the insulation by doing this, the RBS Chips on top will more than make up for any losses in through conduction.  If you have batt insulation (rolled out blanket type), with or without the paper backing, it is recommended that you go the 2" of cellulose cap prior to blowing in the chips.  If your ceiling rafter are showing (as seen below), sufficient cellulose insulation should be blown in prior to adding the Chips. 

• Set up the light and blower in the farthest corner from the attic opening.
  
• Blow in the RBS Chips not like the cellulose which is done by aiming the hose at your intended area, but by blowing them into the air like a cloud.  Allow the chips to settle on top of one another until the area is covered and no more attic insulation can be seen.  Apply to 1/3 of the attic area and determine from that point how many boxes of chips you have left. 
  
• Work back towards the attic opening as you install the chips, having the cords for the light and the blower pulled behind you as you go.  It's easy to talk through the hose so this can be communicated to the person feeding the hose from down below.

• Improve the comfort of your home forever in one weekend for about $1000
• Can be blown over flooring in the attic
• Unaffected by dust, gravity, moisture or time.  Never add attic insulation again.
•  Warmer winters
•  Cooler summers
•  Longer lasting air conditioners and furnaces
•  Increases the value of your home

If this is what your attic looks like now, more
insulation needs to be added to make it level.

There should be no ceiling rafters showing
before adding RBS chips.

Same attic after adding more cellulose.  This is what you want to see when finished with adding blown cellulose.   RBS Chips perform best when  installed over fairly level surface.  Home Depot will let you use the cellulose installation machine for free if you buy at least nine
bags of cellulose.  You will need 5 bags per 1000 square feet.

RBS Chips being blown in over attic insulation.   Millions of highly reflective surfaces change the direction of heat.  No dust, quick and easy.  You will be able to feel the difference the same day. More comfort is immediate and RBS chips last forever.  
No settling, unaffected by dust, never add more insulation again....ever.

Finished attic after RBS installation should look like this.  A blown-in, flexible Thermos
bottle is basically what this product represents.  Keeps heat out in summer, in during winter.

PICTURES OF EXISTING ATTICS

If you have blown fiberglass in your attic now

This is blown in fiberglass, not level enough for good performance of RBS Chips.  If this is your attic you will need to add a layer (about 2"), of blown cellulose over the top of this. 

Preparing the attic for RBS Chips.  Instead of blowing in cellulose, it's possible to pat down the blown fiberglass with a kitchen broom or a yard rake as an option to adding more cellulose.  Time consuming but effective.  Don't worry about losing performance by compacting the existing insulation as the RBS Chips on top of this will more than make up any slight loss in convective or conductive heat transfer.  We have installed RBS without any insulation with great results over garages and commercial applications.

If you have batted fiberglass in your attic now



Uneven fiberglass batts in attic over wiring, plumbing, framing members.  This is is not
level enough for proper performance of RBS Chips.  To fully take advantage of
RBS Chips, there should be as little attic insulation showing as possible.



After adding cellulose over the fiberglass batt insulation.  Now you can see
how much better the chips will perform over a more level surface.

photos were taken by one of our do-it-yourself customers.

If you have blown-in cellulose in your attic now



If you already have blown-in cellulose in your attic now, this what it should look like.
No exposed rafters and a level top surface.   Simply blow RBS Chips on top of this.
(notice soffit vent that was added)  Venting is part of adding any radiant barrier to
an attic.  The rejected heat has to go somewhere and out the vents is best.



Blown cellulose insulation is completely covered by RBS Chips.
With rising natural gas and heating oil prices, this is the time to be prepare your
for the cold weather.  RBS Chips work equally well in hot or cold climates!  Helps
prevent ice dams and allows for moisture egress so no mold/mildew problems like
rolled out or sheet RBS products.

THIS JUST IN FROM A DO IT YOURSELF APPLICATION AFTER THE FIRST DAY:

"Our old (75 Year Old, remember I sent you pictures of the new standing seam roof) house feels so different.  There is an even feeling between each room now that there was not before.  I can't wait till we get a really hot day just to see how this new insulation is working, yet I can already tell that the morning chill that was so obvious is not there."

Thanks so much.  Angie C. Ventura California

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q  What if I have to go into the attic for repairs after the chips are installed?
A  Just move the chips and insulation aside where you need to work and move them back when you are done.  You should have some RBS Chips left over from the installation.  Use them if needed to add more by hand at a later date.

Q  Will more chips need to be added to maintain performance?
A  No, the patent on RBS Chips has to do with the dust issue and will continue to perform regardless of how much dust has accumulated on the top surfaces.  This is why ONLY RBS Chips carry a transferable, lifetime performance warranty.  To see our warranty click here.  This is the last thing you will ever need to do to your attic insulation. 

Q  Will dust or gravity affect the RBS Chips over time?
A   No, the RBS Chips are NOT affected by dust like single layered RBS laid down flat in your attic.  Further, the settling problem which degrades conventional insulation over time does not affect the performance of RBS Chips.

Are the RBS Chips toxic?
No. RBS Chips are non toxic and have a class III fire rating

Q Will RBS Chips trap moisture?
A  The shape and size of the RBS Chip prevents moisture from condensing on the product thereby eliminating this problem.  Moisture can freely pass through RBS Chips thereby eliminating problems associated with trapping or condensing moisture.

Q Why do RBS Chips cost so much?
A  We are using over ten times the amount of product of other companies using only a single sheet of RBS in the attic.   This is also what allows us to offer a lifetime performance warranty.  Be sure and ask the supplier or sales person what (if any), performance warranty is offered before  you purchase any RBS product.  Sheet RBS has many viable  applications but the attic is not one of them.
