Fibreglass Insulation
Fibreglass Insulation
Cost-Effective Comfort, Installed Right.
Fibreglass insulation has been trusted in Canadian homes for decades because it offers dependable thermal performance at a practical price. For Winnipeg homeowners, it can be a smart choice for open wall cavities, basement framing, attic knee walls, floor cavities, and other areas where a reliable layer of insulation is needed.
Because fibreglass performs best when it is installed properly, the details matter. Batts need to be cut cleanly, fitted snugly, and placed without gaps, compression, or bunching around pipes, wiring, boxes, and framing. When poorly installed, even a good insulation product can lose performance. When installed with care, fibreglass helps improve comfort, reduce heat loss, and support a more efficient home.
Fibreglass can also work as part of a hybrid insulation system. In some basements, rim joists, crawl spaces, or harder-to-seal areas, spray foam may be used first to help with air sealing and moisture control. Fibreglass batts can then add affordable R-value across framed sections. This approach gives homeowners a practical balance of performance, comfort, and cost.
Why Choose Fibreglass Insulation?
Proven, Reliable Performance
Fibreglass has been used in homes for generations, and for good reason. It provides steady thermal resistance, helps reduce heat transfer, and can improve year-round comfort when installed in the right areas of the home. It is a dependable option for homeowners looking for a familiar, tested insulation material.
Excellent Value per R
For many projects, fibreglass offers strong value because it delivers useful R-value without the higher cost of some premium insulation systems. It can be especially practical for larger framed areas where the goal is to improve comfort and energy efficiency while keeping the project budget reasonable.
Naturally Fire-Resistant
Fibreglass is made from glass fibres, which makes it naturally non-combustible. That fire-resistant quality is one reason it remains a popular choice for interior insulation projects. It can help improve a home’s insulation performance without adding unnecessary combustible material to framed spaces.
Great for Basements & Knee Walls
Fibreglass batts are well suited for framed basement walls, attic knee walls, and other accessible cavities where the material can be properly supported and protected. These areas can contribute to uncomfortable rooms, cold surfaces, and energy loss when they are under-insulated or poorly insulated.
Pairs Well with Spray Foam
Fibreglass is often used alongside spray foam in a hybrid system. Spray foam can help seal air leaks and manage moisture in key areas, while fibreglass adds cost-effective R-value across larger framed sections. Together, they can create a stronger insulation strategy than either product used in the wrong place.
Installed with Care by Above All
At Above All Insulation, we look at the whole space before recommending a solution. That means considering the condition of the existing insulation, moisture concerns, ventilation, air leakage, and how each area of the home is being used.
Our crews prepare the work area carefully, remove damaged or problem insulation when needed, and install materials with attention to fit and detail. For attic, basement, crawl space, and wall insulation projects, we focus on doing the job properly so your insulation can perform the way it should.
If fibreglass is the right fit for your project, we will explain where it makes sense, where another insulation product may perform better, and how the installation can be planned for long-term comfort.
Fibreglass Insulation FAQ
Is fibreglass insulation right for every area of my home?
Not always. It works well in many framed spaces, but areas with moisture, air leaks, or tight access may need a different insulation approach.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
Watch for cold rooms, drafts, high heating bills, or insulation that looks damp, dirty, compressed, or disturbed.
Can fibreglass help make my basement warmer?
Yes, if the basement is properly prepared. We’ll check for moisture and air leakage first to make sure fibreglass is the right fit.
Will old insulation need to be removed?
Sometimes. Damaged, damp, contaminated, or poorly installed insulation may need to be removed before new material is added.
Are rebates available for fibreglass insulation?
Some insulation upgrades may qualify for Efficiency Manitoba rebates. Your sales advisor can confirm eligibility and help with the process.
What warranty do you offer?
Above All provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on insulation installations. Product warranties may vary by material.
