Using insulation on its own may not be enough to achieve the comfort you’re looking for inside of your home. Fortunately, you don’t have to give up and continue to deal with high energy bills every month. Materials like vinyl insulation can improve your home’s energy efficiency while helping to keep you comfortable year-round.

What is Vinyl Insulation?

This insulation is unique because it uses vinyl as the facing material for blankets of fiberglass insulation. While fiberglass does a decent job of slowing the movement of air on its own, the vinyl helps prevent moisture from passing through. Vinyl also helps slow the transfer of air, which further improves the insulation properties within your home. The facing material is already attached to the blanket of installation, so you won’t have to do anything extra to take advantage of the vinyl.

If you plan on installing fiberglass insulation in areas where moisture is present, then this type of insulation is worth having. It can save you from having to install a separate vapor barrier, as the vinyl will act as that barrier automatically. It’s easy to work with and contractors are familiar with the steps to install for added simplicity.

R-Value

The R-value of the insulation will depend on the exact type of insulation used behind the vinyl. The vinyl itself does help slow the transfer of air but it is not an insulation material on its own.

Average Pricing

The price of faced insulation will depend on the specific material and thickness you choose. This is why the price can range anywhere from $0.50 to $2 per square foot, installed. If you’re interested in a specific cost, it’s important to speak with a contractor about the space you need to cover and the material that’s most ideal for your home.
