Affordable and Reliable Insulation for Your Home
Fiberglass insulation is the most popular choice for Colorado homes. It's affordable, effective, and works great in our climate. Whether you're building new or upgrading your existing home, fiberglass gives you excellent value.
This insulation comes in two forms: batts (pre-cut sections) and blown-in loose fill. Both work well to keep your home comfortable year-round.
What Is Fiberglass Insulation?
Fiberglass insulation is made from tiny glass fibers spun together. These fibers trap air, which slows down heat transfer. That keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
We install two types:
Fiberglass Batts
Pre-cut sections that fit between wall studs and ceiling joists. Perfect for new construction or when walls are open during renovation.
Blown-In Fiberglass
Loose fibers blown into attics or walls. Great for existing homes and attic upgrades. Fills around obstacles automatically.
Both types are non-combustible and treated to resist moisture and mold.
Best Uses for Fiberglass Insulation
New Home Construction
Your attic is where you lose the most heat. We spray foam on your attic rafters to stop heat loss in winter and keep your home cool in summer.
Benefits include no more ice dams, lower air conditioning costs, and extra storage space you can use.
Attic Insulation
Blown-in fiberglass works great in attics. We blow it onto the attic floor to create a thick, even layer.
It resists moisture from snow and ice, doesn't settle much, and is lightweight. Easy to add more later if needed.
Basement and Garage Insulation
Fiberglass batts with a vapor barrier work well on basement walls. They insulate while allowing walls to breathe.
For garages, fiberglass is affordable enough for a space you don't heat full-time. It still makes a big difference in comfort.
Soundproofing Between Rooms
Fiberglass is excellent for reducing noise. We install it in interior walls between bedrooms and bathrooms, home offices, upstairs and downstairs, and media rooms.
Why Choose Fiberglass Insulation?
Most Affordable Option
Fiberglass costs less than spray foam or other premium insulation. Most projects run $0.50-$2.00 per square foot installed.
You get good performance without breaking your budget.
Proven Performance
Fiberglass has been used for over 80 years. When properly installed, it provides consistent R-values for decades.
Moisture Resistant
Unlike cellulose, fiberglass doesn't absorb water. If it gets wet, it dries out without losing effectiveness.
This matters in Colorado basements and attics where occasional moisture can occur.
Non-Flammable
Fiberglass won't burn. It's made from glass, which is naturally fire-resistant. This adds an extra layer of safety to your home.
Easy to Work With
If you need to run new wires or pipes later, fiberglass is easy to move and replace. This flexibility is valuable for homes that might need updates down the road.
Fiberglass Batts vs Blown-In Fiberglass
Fiberglass Batts
Best for new construction, open walls during renovation, basement walls, and regular accessible spaces.
Pros:
Lower installation cost, easy to see proper coverage, works well in standard spaces.
Cons:
Can leave gaps around obstacles, harder to install in existing walls.
Blown-In Fiberglass
Best for existing attics, upgrading old insulation, irregular spaces, and walls without removing drywall.
Pros:
Fills every gap completely, works around obstacles, fast installation.
Cons:
Costs slightly more than batts, requires special equipment.
Common Questions About Fiberglass Insulation
How much does fiberglass insulation cost?
Fiberglass batts cost $0.50-$1.50 per square foot installed. Blown-in fiberglass runs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot.
A typical 1,500 square foot attic costs $1,800-$3,000 for blown-in fiberglass. Wall insulation for a 2,000 square foot home costs $2,000-$4,000.

Is fiberglass insulation safe?
Yes, fiberglass insulation is safe when properly installed. The fibers can be itchy during installation, so our crew wears protective gear.
Once installed behind walls or settled in your attic, it poses no health risks. Modern fiberglass doesn't contain formaldehyde or other harmful binders.
What R-value do I need in Colorado?
For Northern Colorado, we recommend:
- Attics: R-49 to R-60 (14-19 inches of blown-in fiberglass)
- Walls: R-19 to R-21 (standard 2x6 wall)
- Basements: R-15 to R-19
- Floors: R-25 to R-30
These values handle our cold winters and hot summers efficiently.
Does fiberglass insulation settle over time?
Blown-in fiberglass settles only about 2-3% over its lifetime. This is much less than cellulose, which can settle 10-20%.
Fiberglass batts don't settle at all when properly installed. They maintain their thickness and R-value permanently.
Can I install fiberglass insulation myself?
Fiberglass batts can be a DIY project if you're handy. You'll need safety gear and the right tools.
Blown-in fiberglass requires special equipment. Most homeowners hire professionals. We can install your attic in just a few hours for a reasonable price.
How does fiberglass compare to cellulose insulation?
Fiberglass advantages: Doesn't absorb moisture, settles less over time, non-organic (no pest or mold food source), better for basements.
Cellulose advantages: More eco-friendly, slightly better soundproofing, can be slightly cheaper, denser coverage.
Both work well in Colorado. We'll recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
Our Fiberglass Insulation Installation Process
01
Free Consultation
We inspect your home and measure the areas that need insulation. We check for air leaks, moisture issues, and proper ventilation.
02
Preparation
We protect your home and workspace. If needed, we air seal before installing insulation to make it work better.
03
Professional Installation
For batts, we carefully fit each piece between studs or joists. We cut around outlets, pipes, and obstacles. Nothing is compressed or left with gaps. For blown-in, we use commercial equipment to blow fiberglass to the proper depth with even coverage.
04
Quality Check and Cleanup
We verify proper coverage and R-values. We remove all materials and packaging. Your home is left clean with properly installed insulation.
When to Choose Fiberglass Insulation
Best for:
Budget-conscious projects
New home construction
Standard residential applications
Attics with good ventilation
Basement walls
Projects where you might need access later
Consider other options for:
Areas needing maximum air sealing (use spray foam)
Very damp locations (consider spray foam)
Rim joists (spray foam works better)
