It’s no secret that spray foam and other insulation materials like cellulose have become a top choice for Long Island homeowners. That said, batt insulation is still a very reliable option that lasts for years. Here’s why it’s still popular and when you should consider it for your home.
When Batt Insulation Is Still Worth It
Budget Is A Top Priority
If you’re on a tight budget, batt fiberglass could be a great way to seal your home. It costs roughly $0.30 to $1.50 per square foot, while spray foam could easily cost twice that. Switching to this material could easily save you thousands of dollars, especially if you’re installing it in multiple rooms.
Easily Accessible Spaces
If you have an attic or open walls throughout your home, batt insulation can be a great choice. Since most of these spaces have no tight corners or irregular shapes to worry about, the fiberglass can sit comfortably against the framing and perform better.
Dry Areas
Batt fiberglass does best in dry areas with little to no humidity. When you place them in high-moisture areas like bathrooms or basements, they trap moisture and quickly become breeding grounds for mold and pests.
