Key Takeaways

• Owens Corning blown in insulation in Dallas falls into two lines: AttiCat Pink Fiberglas and ProPink, each with different R-value coverage and cost profiles.
• Blown in fiberglass settles over time. A 20-year-old attic in Dallas that was originally R-30 often tests closer to R-19 today.
• Dallas heat and humidity create specific failure patterns, including attic ventilation issues that make insulation damp and heavy.
• We provide written pricing before any work starts, and the price you approve is the number on the invoice.
• Every Owens Corning blown in job we do in Dallas is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

How Owens Corning Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• AttiCat Pink Fiberglas settles unevenly in older Dallas attics. The AttiCat system was designed for even distribution, but when it was blown over old batt insulation or around non-standard joist spacing in homes built before 1980, you get low spots. In Lakewood and East Dallas specifically, we regularly find attics where the blown layer is R-21 in one corner and R-11 in another. Our fix is a full depth assessment, then a targeted top-off to bring the entire attic to a uniform R-value, not just average it out.
• ProPink L77 loses loft when exposed to attic moisture. ProPink L77 is a loosefill fiberglass that works well until a bathroom vent or dryer vent dumps moist air into the attic. In Dallas, the humidity cycle from March through October makes this worse. The fiberglass mats down, compresses, and loses R-value fast. We locate the ventilation source first, correct it, then re-blow the affected areas. Blowing new insulation over a moisture problem just buries the problem.
• AttiCat bags leave clumps when the machine is run too fast. This is an installation issue we correct often. When the blowing machine is set too high or the hose is held at the wrong angle, the fiberglass comes out in dense clumps instead of a lofted blanket. Those clumps create voids underneath that you can’t see from the attic hatch. We run our machines at the manufacturer’s specified settings and check density at multiple points before we call the job done. Get the R-value right, and the house takes care of the rest.
• Owens Corning blown in insulation over recessed lights creates a fire hazard in older Dallas homes. Many homes in North Dallas and Richardson still have non-IC-rated can lights from the 1980s and 1990s. Insulation blown directly over those fixtures traps heat. The fix is a simple insulation dam or cover around each fixture to maintain clearance, then blow to full depth everywhere else. We check for this on every job, including top-offs where the original contractor didn’t.
• Owens Corning ProPink blown over settled AttiCat creates an uneven thermal barrier. We see this when a previous contractor topped off an old AttiCat layer with ProPink without removing the matted material first. The two layers don’t integrate, and you get a thermal break between them. In a Dallas attic that hits 130 degrees in July, that break becomes a hot spot you’ll feel in the ceiling below. We don’t layer unlike materials. We remove the failed layer or we match the existing product.

Our Owens Corning Blown In Insulation Process

1. 1
   Walkthrough and measurement. We measure your attic square footage, current R-value with a depth gauge, and note any air leaks, vent issues, or electrical hazards. You get a written price based on what we find, before any tools come off the truck.
2. 2
   Air sealing decision. If we see gaps around plumbing stacks, wire penetrations, or top plates, we discuss whether air sealing should come first. In a Dallas attic, sealing before blowing makes the insulation work at its rated R-value. It’s optional, but we quote it separately so you control the cost.
3. 3
   Prep and protection. We cover the attic hatch area, lay drop cloths, and set up the blower outside. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed, and we work clean. No fiberglass dust in your hallway.
4. 4
   Blow to specified depth. We blow Owens Corning AttiCat or ProPink to the depth that delivers the R-value on your written quote, checking density with a gauge at minimum five points across the attic. No shortcuts on coverage, no guessing at depth.
5. 5
   Final inspection and coverage map. We walk the attic with a camera so you can see the finished depth. You get a written record of R-value achieved, bag count used, and any areas we flagged for future attention.
6. 6
   Written guarantee. Every Owens Corning blown in job includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails within a year, we come back. In writing, no charge.
