Best Fiberglass Insulation in Maine and New Hampshire
Discover the benefits of FIBERGLASS insulation
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 Insulation Benefits
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 Blown-In Insulation Is:
- Thermally Efficient – To increase the efficiency of energy in your home, adding fiberglass insulation will help. It will also reduce costly loads for cooling and heating.
- Non-Combustible – Fiberglass material does not combust and will not be a problem if a fire happens to occur.
- Acoustics – Fiberglass insulation is perfect for keeping the acoustics of the walls of a home. Anderson Insulation uses Climate Pro as it not only great insulation for either interior or exterior
- Odor Free – Fiberglass insulation is a good material to use as there are no added chemicals to the insulation that could create noxious odors.
- Decay Free – Climate Pro fiberglass insulation does not absorb moisture that can lead to decay and rotting over the years. Because of this, there will be no thermal reduction in your home.
- Pest Free – Since Climate Pro is all fiberglass, there is nothing to worry about in regards to insects or pests being attracted to the insulation.

What Our Happy Customers Are Saying
Anderson just spray foamed our new home this weekend in Lebanon. Excellent job and so professional to work with.
They sealed up my basement and what a difference it made. The guys that came were knowledgable and polite. I was expecting a mess but it came out very clean. Spray foam I feel is a must for anyone with a drafty home. Will absolutely do business with them again in the future.
They absolutely know their product and service. Ryan was extremely helpful and understanding of what I was trying to accomplish and even went so far as to offer an alternative solution that could be a better and less expensive option. This team is great, responsive and will be doing all my insulation work. Extremely professional and extremely informative. Thanks Ryan for the guidance and quality work!
Ryan and the crew (especially Nick and Isiah who were on our job) at Anderson Insulation are great. They have top notch customer service, fast turn around time, and do a professional installation (we don’t have to worry about cleaning up after them!). Would hire these guys for any insulation job!
