The best kind of insulation for a wall will depend on if it is an outside or inside wall and what room it will be for. The roll or blanket insulation made of fiberglass will be good enough for most do it yourself jobs.
Spray foam insulation is a great idea. It's way better than having to put the insulation in the wall by hand, and it cuts the time needed in half. It also drys fast.

Most thermal loss is a result of loss through gaps in the home, and some is due to insufficient insulation. The best solution, although surely the highest cost, is the spray foam insulation made by many manufacturers. The reason it is such a good solution is that it seals gaps and provides insulating value at the same time. Spray foam the walls, attic, and crawlspace.
Because it has good insulation.
Foam has excellent thermal insulation properties and will do a very good job. But be carefull that the sagging glassfibre will support the foam until it sets or you will have a heap of useless insulation.
Foam is a good insulator because air is not that good at conducting (meaning that it doesn't easily transport heat or cold) in relation to other materials. As foam consists of many tiny plastic pockets trapped with air it both stops convection and prevents conduction.
good in walls, but not enough for attic./ceilings
Foam material makes good insulation.
yea its just like using a spray but the foam works better
Sturdy, cheap, good insulation, long lasting.
A good claw hammer works pretty well.
cause its the insulation they use to heat your home; usually found in walls
Good insulation in the attic and walls. Central air.
