If you are interested in insulating your home, you might be looking into the different types of insulation that are available for residential purposes. After all, you probably know how important insulation is, and you also probably know that insulation can stay in place for a very long time. Because of this, you probably want to make sure you're making the right decision when purchasing your insulation. Batt insulation is one type of insulation—which is often made of fibreglass—that might be ideal for your residential purposes. These are a few reasons why.

It's One of the Cheapest Types of Insulation

One reason why you might be interested in insulating your home could be because you want to reduce your heating and cooling bills. However, you might not want to spend a ton of money on the cost of your insulation, either. Luckily, batt insulation is one of the most affordable types of insulation that you can buy. Therefore, it's possible to insulate your entire home without spending a lot of money.

It Works Very Effectively

Of course, even though you might want to purchase cheap insulation if you can, you probably don't want to buy it if it won't do a good job of insulating your home. Luckily, batt insulation can be very effective at protecting your home from wind and extreme temperatures. This is particularly true if you use a good-quality batt insulation and if you make sure that you install enough of it. Once you install batt insulation, you should find that your home feels noticeably more comfortable, and you should notice a significant difference in your heating and cooling bills, too.

It's Easy to Install

As you might already know, with the many jobs that you have likely done in the home, the cost of hiring someone to do the job is often higher than the cost of the materials themselves. Because of this, you might be interested in installing your own insulation so you can keep your project costs down. Some types of insulation are more difficult to install than others, and some require special equipment. For example, to install spray foam insulation, you need special equipment.

However, with batt insulation, installation is pretty easy. It even comes in pre-cut strips that are ready to be installed. You can watch a quick tutorial video online, and if you're willing to put in the work, you should be able to install your own batt insulation over the weekend. Just make sure that you wear gloves, long sleeves, pants and safety glasses to protect yourself from the fibreglass.
