Before you choose an insulation, you should know what the R-Value, or Thermal Resistance, of insulation is. It is a measurement of how resistant a section of insulation is to heat flow, or how much heat is allowed to pass through a section of insulation. Different areas of the country have different insulating needs.

Fiberglass insulation comes in long rolls or pre-cut. specific lengths known as batts. The fiberglass insulation can be thought of as a large blanket that can either be rolled out between ceiling rafters, placed between all studs, or stapled between floor joints. It functions like a giant blanket that can be placed between the studs in your wall, rolled out between the rafters in your ceiling, or stapled between the joists in your floor. It is possible to hand cut continuous rolls and trim them to fit where needed.

Blown-in, loose fill insulation is comprised of different kinds of shredded material like loose fiber or fibber pellets. These pieces of material are blown through a large vacuum system into an attic or walls—resulting in a thick blanket eliminates heat transfer through the roof. This type of insulation is suitable for your attic if you do not use it much. Otherwise, you should use fiberglass rolls.

Foam insulation is available in sheets of varying thicknesses. They can be cut to size easily. It is ideal for use concrete basement walls, as well as an extra layer of protection for the outside of the home.

Rigid insulation, made from plastic foams or fibrous materials, is extruded or pressed into molded pipe coverings and board-like forms. This type of insulation is strong yet lightweight, and offers acoustical and thermal insulation.
