Fiberglass batt insulation with a kraft-facing that provides R‑19 thermal resistance for use in walls, floors, and ceilings. Each batt is 6-1/4 inches thick, 15 inches wide and 93 inches long, covering approximately 87.19 sq ft and includes a kraft vapor retarder on one side for moisture control.
Project Ideas
Business
Home Weatherization Service
Offer energy-audit-driven weatherization: air-sealing, adding or replacing batts in walls, crawlspaces and attics, and installing insulated attic access covers. Package pre-cut batt installs for common retrofit scenarios. Emphasize code compliance, permit assistance, and safe handling practices (PPE, containment, disposal) to build trust with homeowners and insurers.
Acoustic Panel Manufacturing & Installation
Produce framed acoustic treatment panels, bass traps and ceiling clouds using batt insulation as the core, then cover with designer fabrics. Sell finished panels to studios, schools, restaurants and home theater owners, or offer on-site installation. Market tiers: budget (basic wrapped panels), pro (fire-rated fabrics and mounting hardware), and custom branded art panels.
Pre-cut DIY Insulation Kits
Create ready-to-install kits for popular renovation tasks (e.g., 2x6 wall cavities, rim-joist patches, attic hatch covers) with pre-cut batts, kraft-facing orientation guides, adhesive strips, PPE (gloves, masks), and step-by-step instructions or video links. Sell online or through local hardware stores to homeowners who want safe, fast DIY upgrades without waste.
Insulated Pet Products Brand
Design and sell finished insulated pet beds and outdoor shelters that use batt insulation internally but present a safe, attractive exterior (weatherproof shell and washable liner). Offer seasonal models, custom sizes and retail partnerships with pet stores. Differentiate by emphasizing thermal performance, durability and pet-safe construction.
Insulated Packaging & Short-Range Crates
Produce insulated shipping crates and liners for local food deliveries, floral shipments, or medical supplies needing short-term temperature buffering. Use kraft-faced batts inside rigid panels with an inner moisture-resistant liner. Focus on cost-effective, reusable solutions for last-mile logistics, and be clear about thermal limits and single-use vs reusable policies.
Creative
Insulating Window Quilts
Make removable, quilted window covers sized to fit sash openings. Encapsulate sections of kraft-faced batt in sewn fabric pockets or between quilting layers so the batt never contacts skin. Attach with Velcro or snaps to the window frame to cut drafts and reduce heating loss—great for old single-pane windows or rental units where permanent changes aren't allowed.
Framed Acoustic Panels
Build lightweight sound-absorbing panels by fitting batt insulation into simple wooden frames and covering with breathable fabric. Use for home studios, theater rooms, or decorative wall art that improves room acoustics. The kraft facing can act as a vapor retarder; always fully enclose the fiberglass in fabric or rigid backing to prevent irritation.
Insulated Pet Beds & Dog House Liners
Create warm, washable pet beds or retrofit dog houses by placing batt insulation between an outer weatherproof shell and an inner soft fabric lining. The kraft face helps with moisture control; make sure the insulation is fully contained and the innermost layer is durable and chew-resistant so pets never contact loose fibers.
Portable Thermal Cooler Box
Construct a wooden or plywood cooler/ice chest lined with insulation batts to keep food and drinks cold for picnics or tailgates. Use the kraft-facing toward the interior, seal corners with waterproof tape, and add a gasketed lid. Because fiberglass shouldn't be exposed to contents, add an interior liner of plastic or food-safe plywood.
Insulated Planter/Root Protector
Build raised planter boxes with folded batt insulation around the interior walls to buffer root zones from freeze/thaw cycles in early spring or late fall. Encapsulate the insulation with landscape fabric or plywood to keep soil and moisture away from fibers while preserving the thermal buffering effect.
