Fiberglass batt insulation consists of fibers made from glass that are spun into a fluffy, mat-like material.
Fiberglass batts come in several types, such as standard batts, acoustic batts, fire-resistant batts or roll-blanket, each suited to different applications and installation needs.
Standard fiberglass batt insulation is the most common type of fiberglass insulation. It comes in pre-cut batts and are designed for typical wall, floor, and ceiling applications in both new construction and renovation projects.
Acoustic batts are specifically designed to provide superior sound insulation. They are usually made from a slightly different formulation of fiberglass to optimize soundproofing. They are ideal for interior walls, ceilings, and floors where sound control is important such as in home theaters or recording studios.
Roll-blanket insulation is a type of fiberglass insulation that comes in long continuous rolls rather than pre-cut batts. This allows for flexibility in installation as it can be cut to size on site to fit various spaces. It is commonly used in building construction for thermal insulation and soundproofing.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation offers many benefits for improving the energy efficiency, comfort, and safety of buildings, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications. Some of these benefits include:
Optimal InsulationFiberglass batts have a high R-value per inch of thickness which indicates their ability to resist heat flow. This makes them effective at maintaining indoor temperatures by reducing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in summer. The glass fibers in fiberglass batts are designed to trap air, which slows down heat transfer through conduction.
VersatilityFiberglass batts come in various thicknesses and widths making them adaptable to different spaces from standard wall cavities to irregularly shaped areas. Fiberglass batts are relatively easy to cut and fit allowing for quick installation in framing spaces such as walls, floors, and ceilings.
Cost EffectiveFiberglass insulation is one of the most affordable insulation options on the market, making it an economical choice for new constructions and retrofits. Its low material and installation costs provide solid energy efficiency, leading to savings on heating and cooling bills over time.
Sound DampeningFiberglass batts can absorb sound waves rather than reflecting them which helps reduce echoes and reverberation within a space. Providing effective soundproofing makes them useful in applications where noise reduction is desired, such as between rooms or floors and external noise.
Fire ResistanceFiberglass batt insulation is made from glass fibers which are non-combustible. This means that fiberglass batts do not burn or contribute to the spread of flames providing a critical fire safety feature in buildings. They are often used in fire rated walls, ceilings, and floors to meet specific fire resistant standards.
Eco FriendlyMany fiberglass batts are made from recycled glass which makes them an environmentally friendly option. This contributes to sustainability and reduces the environmental impact of construction materials.
