Batt Insulation
Batt insulation comes in pre-cut panels and is used to insulate floors, walls, and ceilings. This type of insulation is generally made of fiberglass or rock and slag wool, although there are also natural cotton varieties available for thermal and acoustic installation. Fiberglass batt insulation is one of the most popular forms, as it tends to be fairly inexpensive and easy to install. If installed properly, this insulation can be effective, energy efficient, and long lasting.

Batt vs Roll Insulation

Batt insulations come in fixed sizes and are heavier than roll insulations. Meanwhile, roll insulations are made from thinner, more flexible materials that come rolled up like tissue rolls.

Batt Insulation - As a result of the rigidity of the batt insulation, they come in prefixed sizes and users need to measure their spaces to get an exact measurement of the required insulation before going on to buy.

Roll Insulation - This is not the case with roll insulations. Roll insulations are more flexible. They come in packs, rolled up, flexible, and ready for use.
