Fiberglass vs Mineral Wool Batt Comparison
Deciding between the two most popular insulation types? Here is how they stack up.
| Feature | Fiberglass Batts | Mineral Wool Batts | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-Value per Inch | R-3.1 to R-4.3 | R-3.3 to R-4.2 | Comparable thermal performance |
| Fire Resistance Rating | Non-combustible (Class A) | Excellent (withstands 2,150°F) | Mineral wool for fire barriers |
| Sound Transmission Class (STC) | STC 36-40 (Good) | STC 45-52 (Superior) | Mineral wool for soundproofing |
| Moisture Resistance | Faced options available | Naturally water repellent | Mineral wool for basements |
| Installation Ease | Easy to cut and compress | Rigid, holds shape well | Fiberglass for DIY-friendly |
| Recycled Content | 40-60% recycled glass | 70-90% recycled materials | Mineral wool for eco-conscious |
| Density & Weight | Lighter (1.5-2.0 lbs/ft³) | Denser (3.0-4.0 lbs/ft³) | Higher density = better sound |
Fiberglass Batts
A budget-friendly classic made of spun glass fibers.
Top Benefits:
- Budget is primary concern – Most cost-effective option
- Standard thermal insulation needed – Walls, attics, floors
- New construction projects – Quick, efficient installation
- General home comfort improvement – Excellent all-around performance
- Large areas to cover – Maximizes value per square foot
Mineral Wool (Rockwool)
Dense fibers made from volcanic rock and slag.
Top Benefits:
- Superior soundproofing required – Home offices, media rooms, nurseries
- Enhanced fire resistance needed – Garages, furnace rooms, fire barriers
- High moisture environments – Basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms
- Premium performance standards – Maximum acoustic and thermal control
- Multi-family construction – Fire code compliance, noise separation
Where We Install Batt Insulation
Strategic placement across walls, ceilings, and floors for maximum thermal performance and comfort
Professional batt insulation installation requires identifying optimal placement areas for your specific home's needs, climate zone, and usage patterns. We assess each location for maximum energy efficiency and long-term performance.
Exterior Walls
Professional installation in exterior walls provides energy efficiency, weather protection, thermal barrier creation, and improved comfort during extreme temperatures.
Ceiling Cavities
Install batts between ceiling joists above basements, crawl spaces, and unfinished rooms. Critical for preventing heat loss to unconditioned spaces and reducing HVAC strain.
Interior Walls
Install batts between wall studs to improve thermal resistance, reduce noise transmission between rooms, and enhance privacy and comfort in adjacent spaces.
Floor Cavities
Install batts between floor joists above crawl spaces and basements to prevent heat loss downward, reduce cold floors, and eliminate drafts from below-grade spaces.
Create Quieter, More Peaceful Spaces
Batt insulation is highly effective for reducing noise transmission between rooms and external sources. Sound travels through air gaps and bounces off hard surfaces, but dense insulation absorbs vibrations and dampens acoustic energy.
Mineral wool batts are particularly effective for soundproofing due to their higher density and specialized acoustic properties. They can reduce noise transmission by 25 to 50 percent compared to standard fiberglass batts, making them ideal for home theaters, music rooms, offices, and bedrooms.- Reduces airborne noise (speech, TV, music)
- Dampens impact noise between floor levels
- Ideal for home theaters and home offices
- Creates peaceful sleeping environments
- Increases overall home privacy and comfort
Professional Soundproofing Upgrades for
Columbus Homes
Create an extra-quiet home with advanced acoustic solutions combining batt insulation with proven soundproofing techniques.
While standard batt insulation provides good noise reduction, achieving true soundproofing requires additional measures. Our Columbus team combines mineral wool batts with specialized acoustic treatments to create theater-quality sound isolation for home offices, nurseries, media rooms, and bedrooms.
Decouples drywall from framing to break sound vibration pathways. Thin metal channels installed horizontally on walls/ceilings reduce sound transmission by 10-15 STC points. Essential for maximum soundproofing effectiveness.
Seals microscopic sound leaks. Applied around electrical boxes, pipes, drywall seams, and any penetrations. Even small gaps dramatically reduce soundproofing—proper sealing is critical for optimal results.
Doors are often the weakest link. Upgrading to solid core doors with acoustic weatherstripping and door sweeps prevents sound escape. We can coordinate with contractors for complete room isolation.
Adds mass to walls for superior sound blocking. Two layers of drywall with Green Glue damping compound between layers significantly increases STC ratings. Premium solution for serious soundproofing needs.
You choose where soundproofing matters most (home office, nursery, media room, bedroom), and we design a practical package within your budget. Options range from basic acoustic insulation upgrades to complete sound isolation systems. Our Columbus team will assess your specific needs and recommend the most cost-effective approach to achieve your noise reduction goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about insulation types, costs, benefits, and our process.
For Central Ohio climate (Zone 5), standard building code recommendations are:
- Exterior Walls: R-13 to R-21 (depending on cavity depth and existing insulation)
- Ceiling Cavities (over unheated spaces): R-30 to R-49 (higher values recommended for maximum efficiency)
- Attic Floors: R-38 to R-49 minimum per current energy codes
The exact R-value depends on your current insulation, cavity depth, climate zone specifications, and energy efficiency goals. Our free assessment evaluates your specific home and recommends optimal R-values to meet building codes and maximize your energy savings potential.
Quality batt insulation has an excellent lifespan when properly installed and maintained:
- Initial Performance: Full R-value effectiveness for 15-20 years minimum
- Long-term Durability: Often lasts 30-40+ years or longer in optimal conditions
- Unlike Loose-Fill: Fiberglass and mineral wool batts don't settle or compress over time
- Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required; periodic inspections for moisture are wise
Professional installation ensures proper fit, compression management, and moisture protection, extending the lifespan and reliability of your insulation investment.
Fiberglass Batts: Lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to install. Ideal for most homeowners on a budget.
- Most affordable per square foot
- Flexible for various cavity shapes and sizes
