Batt insulation is a form of fiberglass, available in various widths. It can be installed in open walls, ceilings and floor cavities.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation Products
The Edwards/Mooney & Moses team offers batt insulation products we believe are among the best in the industry:
Owens Corning: A top manufacturer in the industry, Owens Corning makes high-quality insulation products, including fiberglass. Their fiberglass insulation is ideal for a variety of residential and commercial applications, from attics and walls to roofing.
Knauf: As a family-owned company, Knauf understands the value of high-quality products — and they deliver this. They have been in the business for more than 80 years, and today they are one of the most renowned insulation manufacturers across the globe.
CertainTeed: A subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, one of the leading industrial companies in the world, CertainTeed makes insulation products that are sustainable and effective. They are headquartered in Pennsylvania but have thousands of employees and 65 facilities located across the country.
Fiberglass batts provide consistent quality and low dust. They are also easy to cut and fit to make for quicker installation in residential and commercial buildings’ wood and metal frame cavities. We install unfaced, Kraft and FSK batts for thermal and acoustical treatments to walls, ceilings and floors.
Also called masonry foam, injection foam acts as both an insulating product and an air barrier. It has a consistency similar to shaving cream when it’s applied and hardens as it dries. The purpose of injection foam is to seal wall cavities and other enclosed spaces against air movement and heat transfer.
Injection foam isn’t prone to compressing, sagging or settling into the wall cavity over time. This makes it a long-lasting solution that continues to perform flawlessly after many years in use. Injection foam is most often used in new commercial buildings, including retail stores, churches and schools. It may also be suitable for some residential applications that feature concrete-block walls and foundations.
When applied to existing walls, a small section of siding is removed, if necessary, and small holes are drilled through the exterior. The foam is then injected, where it spreads from the origin point to fill in nooks and crannies in the wall cavity. When the installation is complete, the hole is patched to resemble the surrounding wall area.
Loose-Fill Cellulose & Fiberglass Insulation in Columbus, Ohio
Loose-fill, or blown-in, fiberglass insulation is one of the oldest types of insulation materials and has been used for many years. It can be installed in many areas of homes and buildings.
Loose-fill cellulose insulation is one of the most environmentally friendly types of insulation available as it is made of up to 80% recycled material.

Loose-Fill Cellulose Products
We install Advanced Fiber Technology (AFT) cellulose insulation, manufactured with a minimum of 85% recycled post-consumer newsprint. The manufacturing process releases virtually no harmful gases or pollutants into the environment. Cellulose itself contains no harmful materials such as formaldehyde or fiberglass.
Advanced Fiber Technology is a leading cellulose insulation manufacturer and has been in business for more than 35 years. Their expanded system includes the latest manufacturing techniques we have found to be successful, like microprocessors checking multiple times per second to help create an effective, high-quality product.
Cellulose insulation is sprayed or blown into walls, conforms to your home and surrounds your family with a seamless insulation system. Wet spray, or spray-applied, cellulose is used for new construction wall insulation projects. This type of insulation creates an effective seal of the insulated cavity for protection against air infiltration. It can be installed in new homes, residential multi-family or apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

Spray foam is also one of the most effective types of insulation for helping reduce air infiltration.
