Fiberglass Insulation
Product Features
Why Fiberglass?
Fiberglass is a type of fiber primarily composed of glass that is used in a wide variety of applications, and is predominantly employed as a residential and commercial thermal insulator.
Fiberglass Alternative
Fiberglass is an attractive choice for home insulation because it poses no fire hazard.
Thermal insulation
This thermal insulation (made from fiberglass and its alternatives) conserves 12 times as much energy as is lost in its production, and it may reduce residential energy costs by up to 40%.
Fiberglass Batts
Commonly found in blanket form, called batts, it is available in bags containing standard pre-cut lengths and widths.
Batts are available in different thicknesses
With the thicker batts offering a higher resistance to heat flow. This resistance is known as R-value, with common R-values for walls being R11 to R19, and R30 to R38 for ceilings.
Hazards
When inhaled, particles can cause coughing, nosebleeds, and other respiratory ailments. Very fine airborne particles are capable of becoming deeply lodged in the lungs and are believed by many to cause cancer and other serious afflictions. OSHA considers this threat to be serious enough that it requires fiberglass insulation to carry a cancer warning label.
