When properly installed, spray foam insulation will help to regulate the indoor temperature and minimize air infiltration within the new home. It will also reduce noise transmission and create a more comfortable living environment. Moreover, it will conserve energy by reducing heating and cooling needs, which in turn leads to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Fiberglass batt insulation is a pre-cut insulation product that comes in standard lengths and widths to quickly and easily fill wood framing cavities for walls, floors, ceilings, and attics. It is available in various R-values to meet your home’s thermal and acoustical insulation needs.
The R-value of fiberglass batt insulation is measured using a calibrated thermometer, which is placed at the bottom of the wall or attic space. The higher the R-value, the more effective it is at resisting heat flow.
Mineral Wool
Unlike fiberglass, this type of insulation is made from recycled materials like denim and cotton. It is denser and has better fire resistance than fiberglass, making it an eco-friendly option. Additionally, it is less likely to become soggy and moldy in damp climates.
Wood Fiber
The main benefit of wood fiber batt insulation is its competitive price with fiberglass and mineral wool and its ease of installation for DIYers. It is free from abrasive fibers that can irritate the eyes and lungs, so it does not require protective clothing or dust masks. It also does not need to be cut with a saw, which helps to save time and money. Furthermore, it is carbon negative and will continue to store carbon throughout the building life cycle.
