Blanket Wrap Insulation

What Is Blanket Insulation?

Blanket wrap insulation is a type of insulation material that comes in rolls or batts (large blankets). Manufacturers usually make it of fiberglass. However, someone can also make it from other materials. These include mineral wool or natural fibers like cotton or sheep’s wool.

People call the insulation “blanket wrap” because it looks like a big blanket. You can wrap it around different parts of a building to keep it warm. People often use it in walls, floors, ceilings, and attics. It helps control indoor temperature and improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer.

Blanket wrap insulation is easy to install. You can cut it to fit around things like studs, joists, and electrical wiring.

It also comes in different thicknesses and R-values. R-values measure thermal resistance. This lets builders and homeowners pick the right insulation for their needs and climate.

Application:

  • Walls: Builders often install blanket wrap insulation in the walls of buildings. It helps reduce heat transfer between the inside and outside. It helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and improves energy efficiency by reducing the need for heating and cooling.

 

  • Attics: Attics are often under-insulated areas where heat can escape in the winter and enter the summer. Workers place blanket wrap insulation between the attic floor joists or over the attic floor. This helps stop heat loss or gain. It improves energy efficiency and helps keep indoor temperatures steady.

 

  • Floors: In buildings with raised floors, like homes with crawl spaces or raised foundations, blanket wrap insulation can go between the floor joists. This helps provide thermal insulation. This helps prevent heat loss through the floors and improves comfort in living spaces above.

 

  • Ceilings: Blanket wrap insulation can be used in ceilings, as well as attics. This helps with thermal insulation and energy efficiency. This is particularly important in rooms located directly beneath unconditioned spaces, such as garages or unfinished attics.

 

  • Soundproofing: Blanket wrap insulation can act as a sound barrier. It helps reduce noise between rooms and from outside. This approach can especially benefit multi-family housing units, home theaters, or areas where people desire sound privacy.

 

  • Pipe and Duct Insulation: Blanket wrap insulation can insulate pipes and ductwork. This helps prevent heat loss or gain. It also protects against freezing in cold climates.
