![Page 52: Visual Dictionary - Prescast](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555b18ded8b42aa9738b4b5b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Insulation- Batt or Blanket
• Batt and blanket insulation is made of mineral fiber -- either processed fiberglass or rock wool -- and is used to insulate below floors, above ceilings, and within walls. Generally, batt insulation is the least expensive wall insulation material but requires careful installation for effective performance.
![Page 53: Visual Dictionary - Prescast](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555b18ded8b42aa9738b4b5b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Insulation-Loose Fill Insulation
• Loose-fill insulation includes loose fibers or fiber pellets that are blown into building cavities or attics using special equipment. It generally costs more than batt insulation. However, it usually fills nooks and crannies easier, reduces air leakage better, and provides better sound insulation than batt-type insulation.
![Page 54: Visual Dictionary - Prescast](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555b18ded8b42aa9738b4b5b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Insulation-Foam Insulation
• Spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid containing a polymer (such as polyurethane or modified urethane) and a foaming agent. The liquid is sprayed through a nozzle into wall, ceiling, and floor cavities. As it is applied it expands into a solid cellular plastic with millions of tiny air-filled cells that fill every nook and cranny. Spray foam insulation should be applied by a professional using special equipment to meter, mix, and spray into place. Spray foam insulation is commonly used for retrofits; it is good for irregularly shaped areas and around obstructions

Insulation-Rigid Board Insulation
• Rigid board insulation is commonly made from fiberglass, polystyrene, or polyurethane and comes in a variety of thicknesses with a high insulating value (approximately R-4 to R-8 per inch). This type of insulation is used for reproofing work on flat roofs, on basement walls and as perimeter insulation at concrete slab edges, and in cathedral ceilings.
