What It Is
The Familiar Blanket,
Rolled to Fit
Fiberglass roll insulation is the classic insulation you picture — soft matting spun from fine glass fibers, supplied as a long, continuous blanket roll that we roll out and cut to length on site. It's the same fiberglass used in the widely installed batt format, just supplied as a continuous roll instead of pre-cut pieces — and that format is the key difference between the two.
The roll format is its advantage: across long, evenly framed runs — an open attic floor, long joist bays, or tall walls — a continuous blanket lays in fast with fewer seams than butting pre-cut batts end to end. It's lightweight, non-combustible, one of the most economical insulations there is, and delivers dependable, code-level R-value by thickness. Where the space is short, chopped-up, or irregular, pre-cut batts or a blown-in fill are the better call — which is what we help you sort out.

Why Fiberglass Roll
What Makes Fiberglass
Roll a Go-To
The properties that make fiberglass roll a staple for long, open runs — inherent to the material and the roll format.
Lightweight spun glass
Fiberglass is made from fine spun-glass fibers — light to handle and quick to lay in across large, open areas.
Non-combustible
Glass fiber doesn't burn, so fiberglass roll adds a measure of fire safety alongside its thermal performance.
R-value by thickness
Rolls come in set thicknesses that deliver standard R-values for walls, floors, and attics, so it's easy to hit your target.
Economical
Fiberglass is among the most budget-friendly insulations, which is a big reason roll and batt fiberglass are so widely used.
Faced or unfaced
Rolls come faced with a built-in vapor retarder (kraft or foil) for the right assemblies, or unfaced for others — we use the correct type.
Is It Right for You?
When Fiberglass Roll
Is the Right Choice
Roll fiberglass shines in specific spaces — mostly long, open, evenly framed runs. Here's when it's the pick, and when a batt or blown-in fits better.
Long, even joist bays
Open attic floors and long, standard-spaced joist bays are exactly where a continuous roll lays in fast and clean.
Tall or long walls
For long wall runs in open framing, rolling out a continuous blanket means fewer seams than cutting and butting batts.
Budget-friendly upgrade
When cost matters and the space is open and regular, fiberglass roll delivers solid R-value for less than most alternatives.
You're weighing roll vs batt
Roll and batt are the same fiberglass in different formats — roll suits long continuous runs, while pre-cut batts suit shorter standard bays and offer mineral-wool options.
Few obstructions
Roll performs best where there's little wiring, plumbing, or irregular framing to cut around — otherwise a blown-in fill covers better.
New construction / open framing
Before the walls close up, rolling in fiberglass is a fast, economical way to hit your R-value target.
How We Work
Our Fiberglass Roll Insulation Installation Process
With roll fiberglass, a snug, gap-free fit over clean, well-prepped runs is what makes it perform. Here's how we handle every install.
Free assessment
We inspect the space, check the framing and runs and your current R-value, and confirm whether fiberglass roll is the right fit or a batt or blown-in option would perform better.
Select R-value & facing
We recommend the right roll thickness to hit your target R-value, and faced or unfaced to suit the assembly and its vapor needs.
Prep & remove if needed
If existing insulation is old, compressed, or contaminated, we remove and haul it away so the new roll sits on a clean surface.
Roll, cut & fit snugly
We roll the blanket out along the bays, cut it to length, and set it snugly and gap-free around wiring and boxes — not compressed — so it actually performs.
Verify & clean up
We confirm full, even coverage at the target R-value, clean up completely, and walk you through the finished job.

My wife and I found mice droppings in our kitchen cabinet. We reached out to Attic Pros and was connected with Tom. He was very professional and thorough with his inspection. We went through our crawl space and attic. Gave us a full rundown of issues/problems we may be experiencing now and potentially in the future. Thanks for your expertise and quick follow up with the quote and service Tom.

These guys are awesome. Super clear comms to schedule, then received an extremely thorough consultation. We eventually decided to go with them as other shops in the area didn't communicate as well as Attic Pros.

Finding out we had a rodent infestation for the first time was incredibly stressful, but Attic Pros made the entire process so much easier! Jeremy was very knowledgeable when help preparing the estimate and the work that needed to be done. Their team that came to perform the work—Nico Otten, Juan Rodriguez, and Antonio Lopez—were amazing from start to finish. Communication was fantastic right from the beginning. The crew was super fast, highly efficient, and left everything very clean after sanitizing our attic, crawl space, and garage. They definitely gave us total peace of mind. They were also able to finish in one day!!

Our small cottage has a very narrow attic entrance. Denis from Attic Pros was willing to try and was able to enter to clean, vacuum, and replace the old insulation. Very professional, access areas were well shielded and protected. Powerful vacuum and clean up well after themselves.

(800) 543-0382It's fiberglass insulation supplied as a long, continuous blanket that's rolled out and cut to length on site, rather than in pre-cut pieces. It's made from fine spun-glass fibers, is lightweight and non-combustible, and delivers R-value based on its thickness — a common, economical choice for insulating open, evenly framed areas.
It's mainly format. Fiberglass roll comes as one continuous blanket you cut to length; batts come as pre-cut pieces. Roll is handy for long, uninterrupted runs — open attic floors, long joist bays, tall walls — because it means fewer seams. Pre-cut batts suit shorter, standard-length bays and come in mineral wool as well as fiberglass. They're closely related — same family of material, different format — so see our batt insulation page to compare, and we'll recommend the better fit for your space.
It depends on thickness — the thicker the roll, the higher the R-value. As a rough guide, fiberglass hits about R-13 to R-15 for 2x4 walls, R-19 to R-21 for 2x6 walls, and R-30 to R-38 for attics. We calculate the right R-value for your space and climate and select the roll thickness to match.
It depends on the space. Roll fiberglass is fast and economical across long, open, evenly framed runs. Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass fills better around obstructions and in irregular or hard-to-reach spaces, and packs in without seams. For an open attic floor, roll is efficient; for a cluttered or irregular cavity, blown-in often wins. See our cellulose page to compare.
It depends on the assembly. Faced rolls have a built-in vapor retarder (kraft or foil) that's needed in some applications and faces the conditioned side; unfaced rolls are used in others or as an added layer over existing insulation. Using the correct type in the correct orientation matters for moisture control — which is part of doing it right.
Fiberglass is glass fiber, which is non-combustible and doesn't feed a fire, so it adds a measure of fire safety. If maximum fire and sound resistance is the priority, mineral (rock) wool is denser and performs better on both — see our rockwool and batt pages for that option.
Fiberglass can irritate skin and airways, which is exactly why it's worth having installed by pros with the right protective equipment and technique rather than doing it yourself. We handle the rolling, cutting, fitting, and cleanup so you don't have to deal with the fibers.
Often, yes — an unfaced roll can be laid over existing insulation that's still in good condition to boost the overall R-value. If the existing insulation is compressed, damaged, or contaminated, we remove it first so the new insulation performs as it should.
