    Fiberglass Insulation

    Fiberglass Insulation materials are among the most effective building insulations available. They are used both for thermal insulation - to block the flow of heat through walls, floors and ceilings - and also for sound attenuation. With certain facings applied, fiberglass insulation can also control moisture.

    ebuild lists fiberglass insulation from a number of manufacturers, including:

    Fiberglass Insulation can be found in two forms - each a distinct category within the ebuild schema. Drill down from the supercategory Insulation & Moisture, Air & Pest Barriers to:

    Both forms of fiberglass insulation are designed for installation between wall studs, ceiling joists and roof rafters. Fiberglass batt and roll is generally fastened between framing members. Loose fill insulation is blown into wall and ceiling cavities.

    ebuild users can narrow their seaches for fiberglass batts and rolls by selecting values for key specifications listed within the ebuild Specifier for the category:

    Thickness refers to the thickness of fiberglass material used to create the batt or roll and should generally correspond to the depth of the wall or ceiling cavity.

    R-value refers to the resistance of the material to the transfer of thermal energy expressed as a number - the higher the number, the greater the resistance and the more effective the insulation.

    Facing refers to coverings that may be applied to fiberglass insulation to enhance performance and/or make it more comfortable to handle for particular applications.
