Our fiberglass insulation services provide a top-tier solution for both residential and commercial properties looking to enhance energy efficiency, soundproofing, and thermal regulation. Utilizing high-quality glass wool material, our insulation is designed to trap air within its fibers, creating a formidable barrier against heat transfer and external noise. Available in versatile forms such as batts for precise fitting and loose-fill for comprehensive coverage of hard-to-reach areas, our fiberglass insulation ensures a seamless installation process. With its inherent durability, it does not settle or degrade over time, offering a long-lasting insulation solution that not only improves comfort but also contributes to significant energy savings by maintaining optimal indoor temperatures year-round. Polar Insulation has been proudly serving clients throughout Tallahassee, Wewahitchka and Panama City areas!
Characteristics and Applications of Glass Wool
Glass wool, made from fine fibers of glass, captures air within its structure, creating a material with low density that is excellent for thermal insulation. This versatility allows it to be applied in various forms: as loose-fill blown into attic spaces, combined with binders to spray under structures, or fashioned into sheets and panels for insulating walls, ceilings, and ductwork. It also plays a role in soundproofing and insulating pipes.
Fiberglass Batts and Blankets
The main difference between batts and blankets is that batts are pre-sized, while blankets come in roll form that can cover larger areas without interruption. The insulation's effectiveness diminishes when compressed or improperly cut, which can allow air passage around electrical fixtures and in wall cavities. For enhanced insulation efficiency, especially in attics, layering batts perpendicularly over each other can significantly reduce thermal bridging. Conversely, blankets are adept at covering broad areas, including joists and studs. However, installing batts beneath floors can prove to be a cumbersome task, often requiring additional support mechanisms like straps or wire mesh to keep them in place.

Attention to Detail in Installation
The presence of gaps or "bypasses" between batts can lead to air leaks or condensation issues, both detrimental to the insulation's performance. Thus, meticulous installation, along with proper weatherization and vapor barrier placement, is crucial. Moreover, layering loose-fill cellulose atop fiberglass insulation can further diminish air infiltration.
Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation
This method involves using specialized equipment to install loose-fill fiberglass insulation, making it ideal for filling awkward or inaccessible spaces such as nooks and framing corners. As a high-quality option over cellulose, blown-in fiberglass does not compress or deteriorate over time, offering sustainable insulation capabilities with R-values ranging from R-11 to R-60, ensuring homes stay insulated throughout their lifetime.
