Home 6 Common Types of Insulation on the Market

Wade is joined by TJ from Ecologic Insulation in Rhode Island to explore the pros and cons of various insulation types.

The six insulation types that will be reviewed in this video include:

Closed cell, open cell, celluolose, faced fiberglass batt, mineral wool (like Rockwool), and unfaced fiberglass batt.

Wade usually uses three of these variations frequently, but TJ will jump in to explain the benefits of each. Certain types are being used in passive houses, some are used in conjunction with smart membranes, and some have some very poor qualities that merely stop moisture, but nothing else.

From price-point to R-value, Wade and TJ will give you a detailed rundown of each insulation type.
