What Is Fiberglass Blanket Insulation?
Fiberglass blanket insulation is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a blanket of insulation made from thin pieces of glass filament bound together after being passed through high-pressure jets while molten. There are various thicknesses available, and you can easily cut blankets to fit a specific space.
This insulation works by slowing down heat transfer in and out of the building. The insulation traps a layer of air next to the source of heat whether it be the interior of a garage in the winter or the exterior of the building in the summer to prevent the transfer of heat through the exterior layer. Its ability to slow heat transfer is measured with an R-value, and various factors can affect R-value including composition and thickness.

Installation
Installing fiberglass blanket insulation is relatively easy. It can attach to a variety of different surfaces including rough interior cavities and other surfaces. It’ll stick to drywall as well as unfinished walls. You can even fit it between studs and joints provided excessive obstructions aren’t in the way. It can be fitted to ceilings, roofs and walls, which is typically what’s required by building energy ratings. You can apply it to the floor as well, but that’s typically only necessary in cold winter areas.
Fiberglass blanket insulation can be faced or unfaced, but you’ll want faced insulation if you plan on getting the most out of it. Faced insulation features a vapor barrier that prevents the transfer of moisture. Water damage is one of the most severe problems that you can have with insulation, so having the vapor barrier makes a significant difference for longevity. Plus, fastening the insulation to the desired surface is easier when faced.

Other Considerations For Garage Insulation
There are a handful of other considerations to keep in mind when installing fiberglass blanket insulation. While the facing provides a useful vapor barrier, it can also be made flame resistant. This is useful if you’re insulating an area in which the insulation will remain exposed, such as you would find in garage buildings. This is especially important if you plan to work with power tools that could create sparks in your garage, though the safest course of action would be to seal the insulation away entirely.
It’s also important to note that fiberglass blanket insulation is particularly compatible with metal buildings. Even if your metal garage building has an odd design, this kind of insulation is still easy to install. All you have to do is take measurements of the area you’re trying to apply the insulation to and cut the rolled blanket insulation to size on site.

February 2, 2024When I was looking for a smaller steel garage/port, I was extremely fortunate to have a salesman named Jude Cassimy help me with that I was looking for. He showed me exactly what I wanted and gave me quotes very quickly. Jude had great communication and was extremely thorough in trying to help me. Although I decided to go a different direction, Jude continued to have great service and provided support with questions. Metal Pro Buildings clearly has a high standard when it comes to business and customer service. Thank you!
