TYPES OF INSULATION

Insulation can be made from a variety of materials; however, it is usually made of one of the following.

• Blankets, rolls or batts. These are flexible products made of mineral fibers like rock wool and fiberglass. They come in widths suited to the standard spacing between wall studs, attic and floor joists.

• Loose-fill insulation. Made of rock wool, fiberglass, or cellulose, as fibers or fiber pellets, this material should be blown into spaces using special pneumatic equipment. This material conforms to building cavities and attics when blown into the space. It is a type of insulation well suited for any place where it is difficult to install other types of insulation.

• Rigid foam insulation. In general, foam insulation is more expensive than fiber insulation. However, it is quite effective in buildings with limitations of space and where thick insulation is required.

• Foam-in-place insulation. Another blown-in type of insulation, this insulation reduces air leakage when blown into walls and cracks (for instance, around door frames and windows).
