Batt and poly insulation is most commonly used in exterior walls, basements, ceilings, and between floors in residential and commercial buildings. It’s ideal for new construction or renovations where wall cavities are open and accessible, providing effective thermal and acoustic insulation.
The “poly” refers to a polyethylene vapor barrier that’s installed over the insulation. This barrier helps prevent moisture from entering wall assemblies, which is especially important in Alberta’s cold climate where warm indoor air can condense in wall cavities. Properly installed poly improves both energy efficiency and building durability.
Yes, when professionally installed and sealed, batt and poly insulation provides solid thermal performance for Alberta’s varying temperatures. It helps maintain a consistent indoor climate and works well in combination with other insulation types in hybrid systems, especially in multi-zone or multi-level homes.
Fiberglass is the more common and generally less expensive option, made from spun glass fibers. Mineral wool, made from volcanic rock and slag, offers slightly higher R-values per inch, is more fire-resistant, and has better sound-dampening qualities
