Batt Insulation (Fiberglass & Mineral Wool)
Expert Insulation Solutions
Batt insulation is one of the most common and cost-effective ways to insulate a home. It consists of pre-cut panels of fiberglass or mineral wool that fit between wall studs, attic joists, or basement framing. The material traps pockets of air that slow down heat transfer and help maintain indoor temperature.
Why people choose it:
It’s affordable, widely available, and delivers solid thermal performance when installed properly.
Where it’s used:
-
Standard framed walls
-
Basements and rim joists
-
Interior walls for sound control
-
Attics in new construction
Benefits:
-
Cost-effective for large areas
-
Straightforward installation
-
Mineral wool offers fire resistance and better sound absorption
-
Good performance when cavities are uniform
Best for:
Homeowners looking for reliable performance at a lower cost, especially in new builds or renovations.
How it’s installed (simplified):
-
Cut batts to cavity size
-
Fit snugly without compressing
-
Add vapor barrier if required
-
Seal gaps around pipes/outlets
Considerations:
-
Performance drops if poorly installed or gaps remain
-
Not ideal for irregular cavities
-
Can trap moisture if not paired with proper vapor control
