Fiberglass is one of the most common types of insulation in the United States and has been for many years. This is likely for a few reasons. First, it’s been around for nearly 100 years and has provided effective insulation in homes throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and beyond.

Second, it has a distinctive appearance. Fiberglass insulation is often pink, yellow, white, or even green! Finally, fiberglass insulation continues to be installed in New England properties because it is still one of the best ways to protect homes and businesses alike from outdoor temperatures year-round. 

Baylies Insulation knows the value and effectiveness of fiberglass insulation, so we’re proud to offer fiberglass insulation services to homeowners from Worcester to Barrington. Here’s more information about this type of insulation, and some key benefits of installing fiberglass insulation.

What Is Fiberglass Insulation?

Though it may resemble cotton candy, fiberglass insulation is spun from sturdy materials like silica sand, glass, natural minerals, and other compounds, which is why it’s extremely inadvisable to touch fiberglass with your bare hands.

Still, fiberglass’s fluffy texture makes it highly effective at keeping home temperatures stable, whether that means keeping extreme cold out in the wintertime, or preventing heat from infiltrating into your home in the summer months.

Fiberglass can also maintain its performance for years, or even decades, when well-maintained and protected from moisture, pests, and disturbances. 

Fiberglass is available in several forms for application throughout different parts of a building’s thermal boundary. These include:

Fiberglass Batts and Rolls

Insulation batts or rolls are available in a range of sizes that can be easily fit between standard wall studs, floor joists, and between trusses or rafters in open walls. In existing homes, batt and roll insulation is mostly applied as attic insulation, or in other dry, unfinished spaces.

As a professional insulation company near you, Baylies has the training to correctly calculate appropriate insulation R-Value for your walls, install vapor barriers to maintain the quality and effectiveness of your insulation, and more. Baylies Insulation knows the importance of having correctly sized and installed insulation to make sure you can enjoy all its benefits for years to come.

Blown-in or Loose-fill Fiberglass Insulation

Blown-in insulation is a great solution for homeowners in existing homes who are looking to add insulation to their enclosed interior and exterior walls. Unfinished attic floors and other spots that are harder to reach in a finished home are also smart places to add blown-in insulation.

Loose-fill insulation can be fiberglass, mineral wool, or cellulose, but regardless, the application of this type of insulation requires special training and equipment for proper installation so you can enjoy maximum benefits.

Rigid Fibrous or Fiber Insulation

Rigid fibrous insulation is often made of fiberglass, but it tends to look more compressed than traditional fiberglass batts. Rigid fibrous fiberglass is often used to insulate more specific parts of your home. 

Rigid fibrous insulation is typically installed in spaces that are both unfinished and in need of materials that can stand up to high temperatures, like around your ductwork.
