Spray foam and batt insulation are popular options for insulating homes and commercial properties. While both types of insulation can help improve the energy efficiency of a building, they have unique properties and applications.
Batt Insulation
Batt insulation is typically available in pre-cut lengths and made from various materials, including fiberglass, mineral wool, and cellulose. Batt insulation is installed between the studs of a wall or in the rafters of an attic. However, batt insulation requires careful installation to ensure that it is placed correctly and that there are no gaps or air leaks. At Radiant Insulation & Drywall, our insulation experts ensure this is completed effectively.
Spray Foam Insulation
Applied as a liquid, spray foam insulation expands to fill the space it is being installed. This type of insulation is ideal for areas that are hard to access. This insulation can also fill gaps and cracks, making it an effective air-sealing material. In addition, spray foam insulation is known for its high R-value, which measures the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow.
