wall insulation
Building cavity filler
Wall insulation is material installed within or on walls to reduce heat transfer, keeping interiors warm in winter and cool in summer.
Common types include fiberglass batts, blown-in cellulose, spray foam, and rigid foam boards.
Beyond temperature control, wall insulation also dampens sound transmission between rooms: We added wall insulation to the home office for soundproofing.
