- Blown-In Insulation Vs. Batt Insulation
-
BLOWN-IN loose-fill insulation is uniformed and distributes evenly over
ceiling joists, wires and other obstructions in the attic. The loose fibers
or fiber pellets that are blown into building cavities or attics using special
pneumatic equipment. Another form includes fibers that are co-sprayed with an
adhesive to make them resistant to settling. The blown-in material can
provide additional resistance to air infiltration if the insulation is
sufficiently dense.
ADVANTAGES OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION
Commonly used for retrofits (adding insulation to existing finished areas)
Good for irregularly shaped areas and around obstructions
BATT (or Blanket) insulation are flexible products made from mineral fibers (Fiber glass, Rock wool). They are available in widths suited to standard spacings of wall studs and attic or floor joists. Continuous rolls can be hand-cut and trimmed to fit between studs, joists and beams. They are available with or without vapor retarder facings. Batts with a special flame-resistant facing are available in various widths for basement walls where the insulation will be left exposed.
ADVANTAGES OF BATT INSULATION
Do-it-yourself
Suited for standard stud and joist spacing, which is relatively free from obstructions
