Batt Insulation

Batts Insulation sometimes referred to as blanket insulation, is packaged in flat sections. It is made of flat pieces of fiberglass or mineral wool that have already been sliced. Your property can be insulated for less money by using batt insulation. Some batt insulation has a foil or paper (kraft) front, whereas other varieties don’t. When batt insulation is installed properly, studies show that the amount of energy used can be reduced by at least 50%.
​Due to their ease of installation, fiberglass batt & roll insulation alternatives are frequently used. Rolls are just longer versions of batts, which are fiberglass insulation sheets that have already been cut into batts. Both are made to easily slip into gaps between wooden frames. They are helpful for regulating temperatures, and acoustics, and saving money on electricity. They can be put in almost any place, from your floor to your attic.

Building insulation made of fiberglass batts is labelled with the R-value and the thickness at which it is obtained. In other instances, the insulation is put in a way that prevents it from reaching the label thickness. Fiberglass batts put at a thickness less than their full thickness will have a lower material R-value than batts installed at full thickness. Results are shown for measurements made in accordance with ASTM C 518 for fiberglass batts that are available commercially at full thickness and compressed to up to 50% of full thickness.
We’re using unfaced batts because they’re easier to cut and install. In most climates, you’ll have to staple 4-mil plastic sheeting over the batts to form a vapour barrier.
