Default Wall insulation question

I'm replacing the wall insulation in a free-standing one-room building
built in 1977. *The studs are 13 inches apart, and the original
Kraft-batted fiberglass insulation is 13 inches wide. *Can you still buy
13-inch wide fiberglass insulation anywhere?

And what about some of the other insulation options available, such as
polystyrene and Reflectrix -- are those worth looking into? *Does
Reflectrix work on its own, or only in addition to something like
fiberglass?

Thanks!


use expanding foam, it costs more but is R6 per inch, the building
will be much quieter, since foam cuts air and noise infiltration a
lot.
