Batt Insulation is used primarily to insulate walls, ceilings and crawl spaces.   Although other forms of insulation can be used for these applications, Batt Insulation is the most economical and practical solution.  Batt Insulation is available in different R-Values and widths to fit any wall or ceiling cavity.



While Batt Insulation can be used to insulate an attic floor, the gaps created when Batt Insulation is cut to fit around existing pipes and wiring significantly reduces its thermal performance (which is why Blown Insulation is a better alternative for attic floors).

Kraft Faced Batt Insulation is the most common form of Batt Insulation.  It has a vapor barrier on one side, which should always face toward the living space, which helps keep moisture from penetrating the home, reducing the opportunity for mold growth.   

The Department of Energy Estimates That Installing Batt Insulation
In a Wall or Ceiling In a Sufficient Amount To Raise R-Value
To the Level Recommended for Maximum Energy Efficiency
Can Reduce Total Energy Bills By Up To 10%.
