Blown fiberglass on an attic floor, the install used for Pembroke Pines top-ups

Attic insulation in Pembroke Pines

The east side is older. West of I-75 the houses are newer, the attics are wider, and the original fill was often stopped at the code floor.

Blown-in insulation in Pembroke Pines

R-38 after the leaks are sealed. Dry fill stays. There is no Pembroke Pines address. Pompano Beach is the Broward shop. Boca Raton is the other shop.

The inch math and the leaks a hose will not close are in how a South Florida attic works. The next city page is blown-in insulation in Hollywood.

Spray foam insulation in Pembroke Pines

Spray foam in Pembroke Pines is a roof-deck job. It is not a substitute for blown-in on a vented attic floor.

East of Flamingo Road and west of I-75

Pembroke Pines is a long city. 33024 and 33025, on the east side toward Hollywood and University Drive, are the older houses. Vented attics, original batts, and a hatch that does not show you the far bays. Towngate and the sections along Pines Boulevard on this side are the usual top-up.

33026 is the middle, around Flamingo Road. Tile roofs, vented ceilings, and fill that has settled. Grand Palms is in this band. A golf-course villa with a flat roof and no attic is not the same appointment as the house next door.

33028 and 33029 are west of I-75. Chapel Trail and Pembroke Falls are the newer single-family sections. The attics are wide and cleaner than a 1970s ranch, and they are still often sitting at R-30, not R-38. The edges, over the tray ceiling and the garage, are where the original install stopped short.

A bonus room over the garage is the foam job. The open attic stays blown-in. We do not foam a vented ceiling to make the proposal look like one product.

No pin in Pembroke Pines

There is no shop at a Pembroke Pines address. The Broward shop is 681 SW 16th Ter, Pompano Beach, FL 33069. The Boca shop is 4263 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Both use (561) 654-7698. Blown-in insulation is the first service.

Distance is the limit. A search from west of I-75 does not start on top of either pin. The page is here so the attic, the ZIP, and the shop are written down. It is not a second listing.

Settled fiberglass is about R-2.2 per inch. New fiberglass is about R-2.5. New cellulose is about R-3.6 and only if the ceiling can carry it. Markers go in at one per 300 square feet. The Hollywood page covers the city on the east side of this line.

Pembroke Pines questions

Who does blown-in insulation in Pembroke Pines?

Cardinal Insulation. There is no Pembroke Pines pin. The Broward shop is 681 SW 16th Ter, Pompano Beach. The Boca shop is 4263 NW 1st Ave. Call (561) 654-7698.

Is a newer Pembroke Pines attic already at R-38?

Not by age. A house built to the R-30 code floor is at the minimum if the depth is still even, and under it if the edges were never filled. We measure before we add.

Measured against the Florida code

The attic numbers, not a brochure

The 2023 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, Table R402.1.2 sets a climate zone 1 ceiling at R-30 and a climate zone 2 ceiling at R-38. Cardinal installs R-38 and checks the inches. A Florida page that lists R-49 to R-60, or R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch for both fiberglass and cellulose, is using a different book. Table R402.4.1.1 says air-permeable insulation shall not be used as the air seal.

Quotes are prepared by Russell Y, a building scientist, BPI certified, and certified to perform blower door testing. When the door is run, the result is air changes per hour at 50 pascals, the method in R402.4.1.2. That section limits new houses in climate zones 1 and 2 to 7 ACH50. An insulation job on an existing house is not automatically that test. We report the number only when we measured it.

The attics on this page

Pembroke Pines is a long city. 33024 and 33025, toward Hollywood and University Drive, are the older houses. Towngate is on this side. 33026 is the middle, around Flamingo Road, including Grand Palms. A golf villa with a flat roof and no attic is not the house next door.

33028 and 33029 are west of I-75. Chapel Trail and Pembroke Falls are newer, wider, and often sitting at the R-30 code floor rather than R-38. The edges, over the tray ceiling and the garage, are where the original install stopped.

There is no Pembroke Pines pin. The Broward shop is in Pompano Beach. The Boca shop is in Boca Raton. Distance is the limit on a near-me search from west of I-75. The page is the attic and the ZIP, not a second listing.

The code in Pembroke Pines

Pembroke Pines is in Broward County. Table R301.1 lists Broward as climate zone 1A. The zone 1 ceiling minimum is R-30. Pembroke Pines does not publish a separate insulation number.

Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, with Miami-Dade. The whole county is in it, not just the beach. Chapter 44 of the 2023 Florida Building Code, Residential, sends roof assemblies, wall coverings, and windows to the stricter Building-code chapters. Roofing and openings used there need approval for HVHZ use, a Miami-Dade or Broward Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval that includes the HVHZ. That is a roof and window rule. It does not change the attic ceiling from R-30, and a blown-in job does not carry a roof product approval. Section R806.2 of the 2023 Florida Building Code, Residential, sets the net free vent area at 1/150 of the attic. The exception is 1/300 only when 40 to 50 percent of that area is within 3 feet of the ridge and the rest is in the bottom third. Insulation cannot close the soffit. R806.3 requires at least 1 inch at the eave vent.

The county zone is Table R301.1. The Boca Raton worked example, including the vent math, is the building code page. Cardinal still installs a vented attic to R-38 and checks the depth.
