About Wall Insulation
Wall insulation plays a crucial role in improving a building’s energy efficiency by minimizing heat transfer and sealing air leaks. At S&S Insulation, we offer a variety of wall insulation solutions including fiberglass (both batts and blown-in), wall-sprayed cellulose, and spray foam insulation. These options provide excellent thermal resistance, measured by R-value, to help maintain consistent indoor temperatures and decrease energy consumption. Proper wall insulation not only reduces heating and cooling costs but also enhances overall comfort by stabilizing indoor climate conditions. Our professional installation ensures your walls are thoroughly insulated, contributing to long-term energy savings and a more efficient HVAC system.
Fiberglass Wall Insulation Options
When it comes to fiberglass wall insulation, S&S Insulation offers two primary options to enhance the energy efficiency and comfort of your home: fiberglass batts and blown-in fiberglass (BIBS system).
Fiberglass Batts
Fiberglass batts are pre-cut panels made from spun glass fibers. These batts fit snugly between wall studs, offering consistent thermal resistance and soundproofing. They are cost-effective, easy to install in new construction or accessible walls, and come in various thicknesses to meet different R-value requirements. Batts are ideal for standard wall cavities with typical framing dimensions.
Blown-In Fiberglass (BIBS System)
Blown-in fiberglass insulation, installed through the BIBS (Blow-In-Blanket-System), provides a dense, seamless fill inside wall cavities. This method uses loose fiberglass fibers that are blown in under controlled pressure to completely fill gaps and voids, improving thermal performance and reducing air infiltration. The BIBS system is especially beneficial for retrofit applications and irregular wall spaces where batts can leave gaps. It offers superior coverage and long-term settling resistance compared to conventional fiberglass batts.
Why Choose Fiberglass Wall Insulation?
Thermal Efficiency: Both options provide excellent R-values to reduce heat loss or gain.
Moisture Resistant: Fiberglass does not absorb moisture, reducing the risk of mold growth.
Fire Resistant: Made from non-combustible materials, fiberglass adds a layer of fire safety.
Environmentally Friendly: Many fiberglass products contain a significant percentage of recycled glass.
Cellulose Wall Insulation
At S&S Insulation, we specialize in installing cellulose insulation in walls using a wall-sprayed cellulose process. Cellulose insulation provides excellent thermal performance and helps improve your home's energy efficiency by filling wall cavities thoroughly and reducing air leakage. Our skilled team uses high-quality cellulose material to ensure an even, dense application that enhances comfort and lowers energy costs. Whether you are upgrading insulation during new construction or retrofitting existing walls, we will recommend the best cellulose insulation approach tailored to your home's specific needs.
Spray Foam Wall Insulation
At S&S Insulation, we specialize in spray foam wall insulation, providing excellent air sealing that improves your home's energy efficiency and comfort. Our high-quality spray foam products come in both open-cell and closed-cell options, allowing us to tailor the insulation to your specific needs. Whether you’re insulating interior or exterior walls during new construction or retrofitting existing walls, our experienced team will recommend the best approach to maximize thermal performance and reduce air infiltration. With spray foam wall insulation from S&S Insulation, you can expect enhanced durability, moisture resistance, and long-term energy savings.

FAQs
What is the best wall insulation?
The best wall insulation depends on your specific situation, including climate, budget, and wall construction. Common effective options for walls include fiberglass batts for cost-effectiveness, spray foam for superior air sealing and insulation value, and cellulose for an eco-friendly choice. Selecting the right type begins with assessing your wall structure and insulation goals.
How much wall insulation do I need?
The amount of wall insulation needed varies based on climate, wall type, and existing insulation. Wall insulation is rated by R-value, which measures resistance to heat flow. Typically, recommended R-values for walls range from R-13 to R-21. Local building codes and professional advice can help determine the optimal R-value and thickness for your specific walls.
Can I insulate my existing walls?
Yes, existing walls can often be insulated, but a professional assessment is important. Factors like wall material, wall cavity accessibility, moisture concerns, and plumbing/wiring can affect the ease and effectiveness of adding insulation to existing walls. A qualified insulation expert can recommend the best approach for your home.
Do you sell insulation material only?
No, we do not sell insulation material alone. We provide comprehensive wall insulation services, including professional installation, consulting, and tailored energy efficiency solutions to ensure your project is completed successfully.
Do you remove existing wall insulation?
Yes, we remove old wall insulation. Our team can safely remove various types of insulation, such as fiberglass batts, loose-fill, and cellulose, to prepare your walls for updated, more effective insulation.
Do you insulate walls in older homes?
Yes, we specialize in insulating walls in older homes. We evaluate your home’s specific needs and install appropriate wall insulation to enhance comfort and energy efficiency, whether it’s a historic residence or new construction.
