Fiberglass batt insulation is perhaps the most common type of home insulation, as it is one of the easiest and least-expensive available. Made of large chunks of fiberglass (or sometimes cotton, and occasionally stone wool), batt insulation is held together by the long fibers and an adhesive material. You’ll find its familiar pink fluff lining attics, basement ceilings and crawlspaces in almost any home.
The biggest benefit of batt insulation is exactly how easy and quick and easy it is to install. Experienced insulation installers can outfit an attic or basement in batt insulation rather quickly, cutting down on both time and cost – which is why it is generally the cheapest form of insulation you can get. |

Batt insulation is available in both rolls and pre-cut panels, and is flexible, pliable and lightweight, so it can be installed between rafters and tight places with little effort. This flexibility makes it especially good for getting good coverage without leaving large gaps or holes in the insulation, that air can get through. It creates a tight fit that blocks heat from getting either in or out of your home.
Batt insulation is also very efficient when professionally installed, often saving as much as 35-40% of energy needed to heat a home. Lower energy consumption = lower energy bills.
Batt insulation also does not settle or wear down over time, maintaining its loft and keeping its full insulating power for years. And when made of natural materials (such as sand or rock) it is naturally fire-retardant, keeping your home safe and sound.
Is Batt Insulation Safe?
As batt insulation is made from fiberglass (made of sand and glass) or occasionally form natural fibers such as cotton or stone wool, it is generally relatively safe. As it is made of tiny fibers, coming into contact with fiberglass insulation is widely known to cause a lot of itching and skin irritation, as anybody who has ever handled the fluffy pink insulation in their basement could tell you. But this usually goes away quickly. Fiberglass insulation could also cause breathing problems if inhaled; this is very unlikely, but another good reason to hire a professional insulation contractor to do the job for you.
