Proper attic and wall insulation are essential for maximizing energy efficiency and maintaining a comfortable living environment. At Elite Insulation Specialist, we help homeowners ensure they’re choosing the right material for their walls. In this blog, we’ll explore four popular types of wall insulation we provide so homeowners can make an informed decision based on their requirements.

Wall Insulation – Fiberglass Batts

Our fiberglass batts are one of the most common and affordable types of wall insulation. Composed of fine glass fibers, they’re easy to install between wall studs. Some pros include:

• Cost-effectiveness
• Soundproofing properties
• Fire resistance

Fiberglass battsdo have a lower R-value than other wall insulation types.

Rockwool or Mineral Wool Batts

Rockwool or mineral wool batts offer excellent thermal and acoustic attic insulation. Made from volcanic rock or slag, these batts are resistant to fire and moisture. They have a higher R-value than fiberglass batts, providing better energy savings to Fort Worth residents.

Rockwool batts are also a non-combustible type of wall insulation and can contribute to better indoor air quality. However, they can be more expensive than fiberglass batts.

Spray Foam Insulation

Many of our Fort Worth clients opt for spray foam insulation for exceptional attic insulation. During our expert application, it expands and fills gaps, creating an airtight seal that provides superior energy efficiency, prevents air from leaking, and offers excellent soundproofing.

However, spray foam installation is usually more costly than other wall insulation types, but it’s a long-term investment that pays off.

Blown-In Blanket Systems (BIBS)

Our insulation contractors will testify that maximum R-value blown-in blanket systems, also known as BIBS, are the best. This involves using loose-fill insulation material, such as fiberglass or cellulose, blown into wall cavities using specialized equipment.

This method offers uniform insulation coverage, eliminating gaps and voids. Homeowners can expect good thermal performance, soundproofing, and fire resistance.

Our professionals will be able to guide you about the appropriate material and determine the optimal density for your walls at the time of consultation.
