TIMBERBATT INSULATION

TimberBatt Wood Fiber Insulation: High-Performance, Sustainable Batt Insulation

TimberBatt is a semi-rigid, wood fiber batt insulation designed for use in residential and commercial construction. Manufactured in Maine using wood chips sourced from responsibly managed forests, TimberBatt offers a sustainable alternative to traditional insulation products. The material is carbon-negative at the point of manufacture, making it a strong choice for those focused on reducing the environmental footprint of their buildings.

Made primarily from softwood fibers, TimberBatt provides high thermal resistance while maintaining excellent vapor permeability. This allows moisture to pass through wall assemblies without getting trapped, reducing the risk of mold growth and structural degradation. Its density also gives it strong sound-dampening qualities, making it a practical solution for improving acoustic comfort in homes, offices, and other shared environments.

TimberBatt is treated with a safe and effective borate solution, giving it natural resistance to fire, insects, and mold without the use of harmful chemical flame retardants. It meets stringent ASTM E84 Class A standards for fire and smoke spread, delivering safety performance that matches or exceeds conventional insulation. Its fire resistance is combined with ease of handling; the fibers are soft to the touch and free of skin or respiratory irritants, which makes installation safer and more pleasant for professionals and DIY users alike.

The product is available in a range of thicknesses designed to match common wood and steel stud framing—making it easy to integrate into new builds or retrofit projects. With a thermal resistance of approximately R-4 per inch and options such as a 5.5″ batt delivering R-22 performance, TimberBatt supports energy efficiency goals in climate-conscious building design. It can be used on its own or paired with complementary materials like TimberBoard for a more complete insulation system.

Builders, architects, and homeowners who prioritize indoor air quality, thermal performance, and sustainability will find TimberBatt to be a versatile and forward-thinking insulation solution. Its combination of environmental responsibility, user safety, and reliable performance reflects a growing shift in the industry toward materials that are better for people and the planet.
