Batt fibreglass insulation is one of the best-known insulation materials. When used, polyethylene sheeting will be installed along with it to make a complete vapour barrier. It allows your insulation to retain its R-value, which is its ability to maintain temperature inside the building.

Our Process
The team at Great Canadian Insulation has a thorough process for installing batt insulation and poly vapour barrier. Let us walk you through the installation from start to finish.
Consultation and Inspection
During your consultation, your contractor will work with you to determine where to insulate your property and what option is best for you. You will be given a proper estimate based on these factors and the inspection.
The process differs depending on the age of your building.
Here's what we do if you need help with your existing insulation. When inspecting your property, your contractor from Great Canadian Insulation will look for a few signs. The following can indicate the need for new insulation:
Holes in Exterior Walls: Weather conditions like hail and other accidents can damage your walls. They allow outside air to make its way into your building.
Bugs or Mice: If creatures make a home inside your walls, they can easily cause damage and deterioration over time. This can result in your home getting warmer or colder.
Moisture/Condensation: Puddles around the home and condensation on windows or doors can indicate poor insulation or exposed pipes.
Mould: Green, grey, or black splotches on the walls, floors, or insulation fibres are some things to be alarmed about. It can make you sick and damage your insulation.
High Energy Bills: If you have faulty insulation, your system will have to work harder to heat and cool your property. Call the professionals at Great Canadian Insulation to inspect this problem.
After your consultation and inspection, our team can give you a proper estimate for our services. Whether replacing your current insulation or adding it to drywall in a new building, we're here for you. Call our team today!
Preparation
Your contractor will take a few steps to prepare before installing this type of insulation.
The first step is measuring the width of an exterior wall from inside the building. If the wall cavity is open, we will measure from the inside edge of one corner stud to the inside edge of the opposite corner stud. Then we measure the height of the wall from the top of the floor joist to the bottom of the ceiling joist. The measurements are multiplied to find the square footage of the wall.
Now, we measure the height and width of any windows and doors on the wall to find the area of each one. That total is subtracted from the first number to find the square footage of the wall to determine how much insulation is needed.
The previous steps are repeated for any other walls that need insulation. Adding all the numbers together will determine how much insulation is required for the property's exterior walls.
Finally, your contractor will measure the distance between one framing stud and the next to determine if they are 16 or 24 inches apart. It determines the width of batt insulation required.
If you already have insulation, your contractor will remove it to make room for your batt insulation and poly vapour barrier.
How It's Done
Let's review the steps of installing batt insulation with a poly vapour barrier.
Your contractor will begin by cutting the batt's width to line up one edge with the inside face of the stud bay.
Now, the insulation is trimmed to the proper length. It's done by tucking the insulation into the cavity against the top of the stud bay and edges flush with the studs. Letting the insulation run long and cutting it against the bottom plate of the wall framing ensures an accurate fit.
Your contractor may deal with some obstacles during installation, like electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems. This is nothing new and the professionals at Great Canadian Insulation know exactly how to handle this situation. Halving the batt's thickness by pulling it apart, sliding one half behind the wire, and laying the other half in front is simple. Working the full thickness of the insulation behind plumbing supply pipes prevents them from freezing. With electrical boxes, your contractor will install the batt and cut a notch in its edge while using the notch as a guide.
Lastly, we add the poly vapour barrier. Batts with paper or foil have a retarder built in. Unfaced batts must be covered with 6-mil plastic,, also called a breathable sheet. Your contractor will apply a bead of sealant at the top and to the studs where the sheets overlap. Then we will tack the sheet every 12 to 24 inches to the top plate, studs, and bottom plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Batt insulation is one of the most common insulation types for commercial and residential properties. It's made from fibreglass and comes in rolls or pre-cut batts. It's used in walls, ceilings, floors, and attics to reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency. It traps air and slows down the transfer of heat.
-
A poly vapour barrier is a type of plastic sheeting that prevents moisture and vapour transmissions from entering a building. It stops condensation and moisture from causing mould and mildew growth. Both are hazardous to building materials. It keeps your home dry and free of moisture and vapour transmission.
