Fiberglass Wall Insulation
Pro Fiberglass Wall Insulation Services in Mattoon, IL
Fiberglass wall insulation is still one of the most reliable, adaptable, and affordable thermal and acoustic control systems to use for residential and commercial structures. We at Insulation Service focus on professional installation of high-density fiberglass batts, which are cut to fit tightly into the cavities of the walls. Additionally, it does not leave any space between the material and the wall, which can undermine performance. Fiberglass wall insulation functions by incorporating millions of small air spaces into its web of glass fiber, virtually blocking the movement of heat through your walls and shock transmission. You can use our fiberglass insulation to build a new construction system or renovate an old building and achieve a long-term, stable, and high-quality performance. Our esteemed customers include homeowners, farmers, and business owners in and around Mattoon and Central Illinois. We strive to provide them with reliable indoor temperature and dramatic noise suppression.

Our faced and unfaced fiberglass insulation is available to accurately meet your requirements for a single project and multiple projects. Faced fiberglass batts have a kraft paper or foil vapor retarder on one side, which serves to stop the migration of moisture out of warm interior spaces and into cold exterior walls. So, these are the best batts to use on exterior walls in new construction and to prevent condensation in wall cavities. Unfaced fiberglass batts do not have a vapor retarder and are ideal in interior or soundproofing between two floors or insulating a basement wall, or an extra layer of insulation over existing material where moisture control has already been considered. Our fiberglass is made using natural, sustainable materials with a high volume of recycled materials, with R-values of between R-13 with regular 2 x 4 walling and R-38 with floor joists and cathedral ceilings. With our free estimations, we can evaluate your particular requirement and suggest an appropriate facing type and R-value. This will help in achieving local building code requirements, your comfort requirements, and offer high fire resistance and sound-damping characteristics.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the R-value of fiberglass insulation?
The insulation of fiberglass usually has an R-value ranging between R-13 and R-38, depending on the thickness and density. R-13 or R-15 can be reached in standard 2×4 walls and R-19 -R-21 in 2×6. Within the free consultation, we will advise you on the appropriate R-value to use in your application and your local building code requirements.
Does fiberglass insulation help with soundproofing?
Fiberglass insulation is the best in terms of acoustic control. The glass fibre cables are so thick that they capture sound waves and lessen transmission to other rooms, and are suitable in home theaters, bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared walls in multi-family buildings or commercial offices.
How long does fiberglass insulation last?
When installed and dry, fiberglass insulation lasts forever as it does not diminish its R-value. It does not decay, rot, or grow mould. We have more than 50 years of business experience and have inspected the homes that we insulated many decades ago, which continue to perform as new.
Can fiberglass insulation cause itching or health issues?
The modern fiberglass insulation is produced using high-tech binders that ensure that there are not as many airborne fibers when the insulation is installed. We have a professional team that upholds safety measures. Once the insulation is well enclosed by the drywall or sheathing, there is no health risk to the occupants.
Is fiberglass better than spray foam for walls?
Each of them possesses its own merits. Fiberglass is cheaper in terms of construction costs and offers great soundproofing, whereas spray foam has a better air seal. Contact us with your particular project, and get a free estimate to evaluate your budget and performance needs.
