What Is Batt Insulation Made Of?

Batt insulation consists of extremely fine discontinuous glass fibres that resemble cotton candy. These tiny shards get bonded together with a liquid binder, which is usually formaldehyde. This combination forms an insulation material perfectly suited for wall and attic cavities. 

Batt insulation comes in pre-cut sizes that fit perfectly inside standard wall cavities, making it a popular choice for many homeowners in Orlando. Here we'll briefly discuss batt insulation works. We'll also highlight a few benefits and drawbacks.

How Batt Insulation Works

The tiny glass fibre shards trap air pockets and resist heat flow. They also absorb sounds and create sound barriers. This property of fibreglass insulation makes it ideal for soundproofing and acoustic insulation. 

Batts create a thermal barrier and prevent air infiltration. That way, your home stays warm in the cold months and cool in the summer. With uninterrupted insulation, you rest assured that your home will be energy efficient and comfortable all year round.
