Fiberglass Insulation in Franklin, MA
BCI Group installs fiberglass in Franklin, MA: a proven, cost-effective insulation for open walls, attics and floors.
Why BCI Group
Why fiberglass still makes sense in Franklin
Fiberglass does not burn, does not settle much and resists moisture. Installed by a careful crew, it gives Franklin property owners dependable results for decades.
When older homes are opened up for renovation, fiberglass batts in the open walls, combined with air sealing, bring them much closer to new-construction performance.
Franklin is about 18 miles from our Westborough, MA headquarters, and our crews work across Norfolk County every week.
- Fast install for builders
- Unfaced and kraft-faced options
- Blown fiberglass for attics
- Pairs well with air sealing
Applications
Where we install fiberglass in Franklin
Fiberglass is at its best in open framing that we can reach and fit carefully.
Attic floors
Blown fiberglass tops up attics to recommended depth after sealing.
Kneewalls
Batts with an air barrier insulate cape and bonus-room kneewalls.
Additions and renovations
Open walls and ceilings in remodels get insulated before drywall.Local homes
Franklin homes and what they need
Franklin has older homes around its historic downtown and many newer subdivisions built from the 1980s through the 2000s.
Franklin's homes spread from its historic downtown and Dean College to newer neighborhoods along I-495 and Route 140, with Unionville and Franklin State Forest on the edges of town. Many homes built since the 1980s have bonus rooms over garages that run cold in winter and hot in summer.
In Norfolk County, larger older homes and newer colonials alike often lose heat through attics, kneewalls and rooms over garages.

FAQ
Fiberglass questions in Franklin, MA
Will fiberglass pass inspection?
Installed to the required R-value with no gaps or compression, yes. We know what inspectors look for.
Do you install fiberglass for builders?
Yes. We quote from plans and schedule around your framing, mechanical and drywall work.
Does fiberglass absorb moisture?
The glass fibers do not absorb water, but wet insulation loses performance, so leaks should be fixed first.
How long does a fiberglass job take?
Most homes and additions are done in a day or two.
Is fiberglass safe?
Yes, once installed and covered. Our crews wear protective gear during installation.
Fiberglass or spray foam?
Spray foam seals air as it insulates and costs more. Fiberglass costs less and works well with separate air sealing. Many projects use both.

Our crews travel about 18 miles from Westborough, MA to Franklin, and we group estimates and jobs by area. You'll get a start date with your written quote.
