Benefits of Batt Insulation
Money Savings
You’ll save money in your home or workspace by installing batt insulation. It maintains the temperature and climate of an interior so that your HVAC system does not overexert itself, leading to quicker deterioration and higher energy bills. The less your air conditioning or heating system are working, the lower your energy bill will be. This also means using less energy and being more environmentally friendly.
Acts as a Barrier
Batt insulation not only keeps indoor air where it belongs but also acts as a protective barrier against what you don’t want coming in. Drafts aren’t the only concern – bats, rodents, and insects look for any small opening to slip inside and build nests in warm, hidden areas. Properly installed batt insulation helps close off those access points, reducing the chance of unwanted pests making themselves at home. This kind of insulation can also be privacy-friendly, acting as a sound barrier to decrease noise bleed from room to room. For that reason, it is common to install the batt sheets throughout a space, including in an attic, between walls, and within flooring.
R-Value of Batt Insulation
Batt insulation’s R-value refers to its thermal conductivity, which is to say how insulating it will be. A higher R-value means more insulation. This metric is assessed on a per inch basis. The R-Value per inch for batt insulation ranges from 2.1 to 3.6. This is generally less than what you’ll see with various forms of loose-fill insulation or spray insulation, but batt insulation still gets the job done and tends to be a little cheaper.
Why Work with an Insulation Professional?
If you can install batt sheets yourself, why work with an insulation professional? Besides the safety concerns of the irritants within batt insulation, it is also best to trust an expert so that the job only has to be done once. Precision Spray Foam & Insulation takes pride in working well with contractors and clients, building up its local business by word of mouth and quality work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED Questions
What is Batt Insulation?
Batt insulation is a form of insulation that looks like a thick, fluffy blanket and tends to come in large pink or yellow sheets. That fluffiness blocks off gaps so that air does not escape your home, while also keeping out drafts, critters, and pollutants in the air. Sheets are sized and cut so that they can be used in interior walling to thermoregulate a space.
What is Batt Insulation Made Of?
Batt insulation is made up of a combination of materials. It may be made of fibreglass, mineral wool, sheep’s wool, or any combination of those items. They usually come in bags so they can be opened and cut to clog up cavities. Sometimes they are about three inches thick, and in bigger jobs they can be over five inches thick.
Can I Install Batt Insulation?
Batt insulation can be a DIY job, but it is recommended that it be professionally handled. Cutting it to the proper size means you do not waste more than you need, but more importantly the fibreglass in the batt sheets is a major irritant to eyes, skin, and respiratory system, so it is not to be handled casually. It can take more than just wearing a mask to safely install batt installation, so professionally speaking it is best to trust a team of experts. Precision Spray Foam & Insulation have the knowledge and personal protective equipment needed to properly install batt sheets.
