Fiberglass Batting

Affordable, Reliable Insulation for Texas Homes

Fiberglass batt insulation is one of the most common and cost-effective ways to insulate a home — but when it’s installed wrong (which happens all the time), it can seriously underperform.

At LoneStar Air Sealers, we don’t just throw batts in your walls or attic and call it a day. We install them the right way, so you actually get the comfort and energy savings you’re paying for.

🔥 What Is Fiberglass Batt Insulation?

Fiberglass batts are pre-cut sections of insulation made from fine glass fibers. They’re designed to fit between framing like:

  • Wall studs
  • Ceiling joists
  • Floor systems

They’re one of the most affordable insulation options and work well in:

  • New construction
  • Remodels
  • Garage walls
  • Bonus rooms
  • Certain attic applications

⚠️ The Problem: Most Fiberglass Batts Are Installed Wrong

Here’s the truth most companies won’t tell you:

Fiberglass batts only work well if they’re installed perfectly.

That means:

  • No gaps
  • No compression
  • No air movement around them

But in real homes, we constantly see:

  • Batts stuffed behind wiring and pipes
  • Gaps around edges
  • Missing insulation in key areas
  • Air leaks completely ignored

👉 When that happens, your insulation isn’t doing much at all.

💡 Why Installation Matters More Than the Material

Fiberglass doesn’t stop air — it slows heat transfer.

So if your home has air leaks (and almost every home does), fiberglass alone won’t fix the problem.

That’s why we often combine:

  • Air sealing (to stop airflow)
  • Fiberglass batts (to insulate properly)

👉 This is how you actually fix:

  • Hot and cold rooms
  • High energy bills
  • Drafty spaces

🧊 When Fiberglass Batts Make Sense

Fiberglass batts are a great option when:

  • You’re insulating open walls (new build or remodel)
  • You want a budget-friendly solution
  • You need insulation in garages or additions
  • You’re upgrading specific areas of the home

They can be a solid choice — when installed correctly.

🚫 When Fiberglass Batts Are NOT the Best Option

We’ll be straight with you — they’re not always the right move.

Fiberglass batts may NOT be ideal if:

  • Your attic has major air leaks
  • You’re trying to fix serious comfort issues
  • You want maximum energy efficiency
  • You’re dealing with extreme Texas heat in the attic

In those cases, we may recommend:

  • Blown-in insulation
  • Spray foam
  • Or a combination approach
