Fiberglass Wall Insulation
Professional Fiberglass Wall Insulation Services in Mattoon, IL
Fiberglass wall insulation remains one of the most trusted, versatile, and cost-effective solutions for thermal and acoustic control in residential and commercial buildings. At Insulation Service, we specialize in the expert installation of high-density fiberglass batts that are precision-cut to fit snugly within wall cavities, eliminating gaps that can compromise performance. This material works by trapping millions of tiny air pockets within its glass fiber matrix, effectively slowing the transfer of heat through your walls and dampening sound transmission between rooms. Whether you are framing a new construction project or upgrading an existing structure, our fiberglass solutions provide reliable, long-lasting performance that enhances comfort and energy efficiency. We proudly serve homeowners, farmers, and business owners throughout Mattoon and Central Illinois, delivering consistent indoor temperatures and significant noise reduction.

Our experienced crew ensures every batt is friction-fit perfectly, creating a seamless thermal envelope that performs exactly as engineered.
- 50+ Years of Experience: We have been perfecting fiberglass installation since 1974, ensuring precise cuts and proper
- Fully Insured: Your property and peace of mind are always fully protected with our comprehensive insurance.
- Free Estimates: We provide fast, no-obligation quotes by the next business day to get your project started.
- Meticulous Installation: Our process ensures batts are friction-fit without gaps, compression, or moisture entrapment.
- Superior Materials: We use high-quality fiberglass with faced or unfaced options to match your specific needs.
We offer both faced and unfaced fiberglass insulation to precisely match your specific project requirements and local building code standards. Faced fiberglass batts include a kraft paper or foil vapor retarder attached to one side, which helps prevent moisture migration from warm interior spaces into cold exterior walls—making them the ideal choice for exterior walls in new construction and preventing condensation within wall cavities. Unfaced fiberglass batts contain no vapor retarder and are perfect for interior applications such as soundproofing between floors, insulating basement walls, or adding an additional insulation layer over existing materials where moisture control is already addressed. Our fiberglass products are manufactured from natural, sustainable materials containing significant recycled content, with R-values ranging from R-13 for standard 2×4 walls to R-38 for floor joists and cathedral ceilings. During your free consultation, we will assess your specific application and recommend the right facing type and R-value to meet local building codes and your comfort goals while providing excellent fire resistance and sound-dampening properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the R-value of fiberglass insulation?
Fiberglass insulation typically provides R-values between R-13 and R-38 depending on thickness and density. Standard 2×4 walls achieve R-13 or R-15, while 2×6 walls can reach R-19 to R-21. During your free consultation, we will recommend the right R-value for your specific application and local building code requirements.
Does fiberglass insulation help with soundproofing?
Yes, fiberglass insulation is excellent for acoustic control. The dense glass fibers trap sound waves and reduce transmission between rooms, making it ideal for home theaters, bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared walls in multi-family housing or commercial offices.
How long does fiberglass insulation last?
Fiberglass insulation maintains its R-value indefinitely when properly installed and kept dry. It does not settle, decompose, or attract mold growth. With over 50 years in business, we have inspected homes we insulated decades ago that still perform like new.
Can fiberglass insulation cause itching or health issues?
Modern fiberglass insulation is manufactured with advanced binders that reduce airborne fibers during installation. Our professional installation team follows strict safety protocols, and once the insulation is properly enclosed behind drywall or sheathing, it poses no health risk to occupants.
Is fiberglass better than spray foam for walls?
Both have distinct advantages. Fiberglass offers a lower upfront cost and excellent soundproofing, while spray foam provides a superior air seal. We are happy to discuss your specific project during a free consultation and recommend the solution that best fits your budget and performance goals.
