About Camco Insulation
Fiberglass Insulation
Where Can Fiberglass Insulation Be Installed?
Fiberglass insulation is suitable for many residential and commercial applications.
Attic Insulation
Attics are one of the most common locations for fiberglass insulation.
Proper attic insulation can help:
- Reduce heat loss during winter
- Slow attic heat gain during summer
- Improve overall home comfort
- Increase energy efficiency
Both fiberglass batts and blown-in fiberglass may be used depending on the design of the attic.
Exterior Walls
Fiberglass batts are commonly installed between wall studs in new construction and renovations.
Proper installation is important to ensure:
- Full cavity coverage
- Minimal gaps
- Proper fit around electrical boxes
- Proper fit around plumbing
- Proper fit around wiring
Basement Insulation
Fiberglass is often installed in basement ceiling assemblies to improve comfort between floors and help reduce sound transmission.
Depending on the project, other insulation systems may be more appropriate for basement foundation walls.
Crawl Space Insulation
Fiberglass insulation may be used in certain crawl space floor systems when appropriate for the building design and local code requirements.
Moisture conditions should always be evaluated before installation.
Garage Insulation
Fiberglass insulation can improve comfort in:
- Attached garages
- Detached garages
- Bonus rooms above garages
- Garage ceilings
- Garage walls
Commercial Buildings
Fiberglass insulation is frequently installed in:
- Office buildings
- Warehouses
- Retail spaces
- Apartment buildings
- Medical offices
- Schools
- Mixed-use buildings
Choosing the Right R-Value
Fiberglass insulation is available in a variety of R-values.
The appropriate R-value depends on:
- Building location
- Wall depth
- Ceiling depth
- Energy code requirements
- Existing insulation
- Project goals
Our team will recommend insulation levels appropriate for your project while meeting applicable building code requirements.
Professional Installation Matters
Even high-quality insulation may underperform if it is installed improperly.
Professional installation helps ensure:
- Complete cavity coverage
- Proper thickness
- Minimal compression
- Reduced gaps
- Proper fit around framing
- Correct installation around electrical and plumbing penetrations
- Compliance with manufacturer recommendations
Attention to detail during installation helps maximize insulation performance.
Fiberglass vs. Spray Foam
Both fiberglass and spray foam are excellent insulation systems when used appropriately.
Fiberglass insulation:
- Cost-effective
- Excellent thermal performance
- Widely used
- Available in batt and blown-in forms
- Good sound absorption
- Ideal for many residential and commercial applications
Spray foam insulation:
- Provides insulation and air sealing
- Expands to fill gaps and cracks
- Available in open-cell and closed-cell formulations
- Higher R-value per inch with closed-cell foam
- Commonly used where air sealing is a primary objective
In many homes, fiberglass and spray foam are used together to achieve the best overall performance.

What Is Fiberglass Insulation?
Fiberglass insulation is manufactured from extremely fine glass fibers that are spun into a lightweight blanket or loose-fill material. The millions of tiny air pockets trapped between these fibers help slow the transfer of heat, making fiberglass one of the most effective and widely used insulation products available.
Fiberglass insulation is commonly available in two forms:
Fiberglass Batt Insulation
Pre-cut fiberglass batts are manufactured to fit standard wall studs, ceiling joists, and floor systems. They are commonly used in:
- Exterior walls
- Interior walls
- Floors
- Cathedral ceilings
- Basement ceilings
- Garage ceilings
- New construction
- Remodeling projects
Blown-In Fiberglass
Loose-fill fiberglass is mechanically blown into attics and enclosed wall cavities to provide even coverage around framing members, wiring, plumbing, and irregular spaces.
It is commonly installed in:
- Existing attics
- New attic construction
- Wall cavities
- Hard-to-reach areas
- Insulation upgrades
Benefits of Fiberglass Insulation
Excellent Thermal Performance
Fiberglass insulation slows the transfer of heat between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.
Properly installed fiberglass insulation can help:
- Maintain more consistent indoor temperatures
- Reduce unwanted heat loss during winter
- Slow heat gain during summer
- Improve year-round comfort
Performance depends on selecting the proper R-value and installing the insulation without compression or gaps.
Energy Efficiency
One of the primary reasons homeowners choose fiberglass insulation is its ability to improve the energy efficiency of a building.
When combined with proper air sealing, fiberglass insulation may help reduce heating and cooling demand by slowing heat transfer through walls, ceilings, and floors.
The actual reduction in energy use depends on the home’s age, air leakage, HVAC system, windows, climate, and existing insulation levels.
Cost-Effective Insulation Solution
Fiberglass remains one of the most economical insulation options available.
It provides dependable performance while often costing less than higher-density insulation systems, making it an excellent option for:
- Entire homes
- New construction
- Additions
- Garages
- Commercial buildings
- Large-scale insulation projects
Versatile Installation
Fiberglass insulation can be installed throughout nearly every part of a building, including:
- Exterior walls
- Interior walls
- Attics
- Basement ceilings
- Crawl spaces
- Floors
- Garages
- Commercial buildings
- Metal buildings
- Offices
- Warehouses
Its versatility makes it suitable for both residential and commercial construction.
Sound Reduction
Fiberglass insulation can help reduce airborne sound transmission between rooms, floors, and ceilings.
Common applications include:
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Bathrooms
- Media rooms
- Apartment buildings
- Office spaces
- Conference rooms
Although fiberglass helps reduce noise, complete soundproofing generally requires additional acoustic building materials and construction methods.
Fire Resistance
Fiberglass insulation itself is noncombustible because it is manufactured primarily from glass.
This can make it an appropriate insulation material for many building assemblies when installed according to manufacturer instructions and local building codes.
Fiberglass insulation is not a substitute for required fire-rated assemblies or firestopping systems.
Long Service Life
When installed correctly and kept dry, fiberglass insulation can provide reliable thermal performance for many years.
Its longevity depends on:
- Proper installation
- Moisture control
- Building maintenance
- Protection from physical damage
Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing
Many fiberglass insulation products contain recycled glass as part of the manufacturing process.
Specific recycled content varies by manufacturer and product line.
