Batt insulation is a type of blanket insulation, typically made from fiberglass or mineral wool material. It is designed to be placed between the studs and joists of walls, ceilings, and floors to reduce thermal loss. In addition to providing thermal control, batt insulation can also help with noise reduction by dampening sound waves traveling through the walls, ceilings, and floors. Batt insulation is available in a variety of thicknesses and R-values, which are used to measure thermal resistance — the higher the R-value, the more effective an insulating material is. For residential applications, batt insulation typically comes with paper or foil backing for moisture control. Batt insulation is an effective and affordable way to insulate your home for long-term energy savings.
