Best Fiberglass Insulation Installation in ME | Anderson Insulation of Maine

Fiberglass is a type of flexible fiber, primarily made of glass. It has many uses, but its main purpose is to act as a commercial thermal insulator. By trapping pockets of air, it slows the spread of heat and cold.

Benefits of Fiberglass:

Cost effective
Easy to use
Easy to find
Doesn’t settle over time
Non-absorbent
Non-combustible
Reduces fossil fuels created by running heating systems & air conditioners

Owens Corning’s Ecotouch Batt

A fiberglass batt is the most common and widely available type of insulation used in residential and commercial construction. They are pre-cut panels of insulation available in a variety of lengths, widths, and R-values. The R-value of a batt measures the thermal resistance per inch of thickness. Standard batts have an R-value between 2.9 and 3.8, while medium and high-performance batts have an R-value between 3.7 and 4.3.

Blown-In Fiberglass

Many New England homes were constructed using inferior insulation or no insulation at all. Insulation has come a long way in the last half century, giving homeowners the chance to improve comfort levels while saving on energy costs. Blown-in insulation is often used in attic spaces and is blown into walls for new construction, retrofit and re-insulation projects. It is a simple yet effective insulation for increased comfort and energy savings. Anderson has six trucks devoted to blown-in installation.

Fiberglass insulation is a good choice for retrofit insulation for houses, especially those located near any bodies of water. The insulation fits all federal and local building codes and standards, as well as being tested by several independent laboratories across the U.S. and Canada. Fiberglass insulation also is regularly tested by the NAHB Research Foundation in its certification labeling program.
