The Difference Between Batt and Blown Insulation

Which one is best for your home? Our team can help you determine that, but in general, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Batt Insulation

Fiberglass Insulation

Batt, or blanket, insulation is:

  • Generally installed in unfinished walls (including foundation walls)
  • Well suited for stud and joist spacing that is free from obstructions like wiring, pipes, etc.

Blown Insulation

blown-in insulation

Blown-in insulation is:

  • Generally installed in enclosed existing walls (retrofit projects) or open new wall cavities (new construction projects) and unfinished attic floors
  • Good for adding to existing finished areas and around obstructions like wiring and pipes
  • Blown into place using special tools
  • Also referred to as “loose-fill,” and loose-fill is a popular type of cellulose

There is no “better” type of insulation — it all depends on where you need to insulate, how much insulation you need and more. A professional will be able to assess your space and determine the material that will work best.
