Fiberglass insulation is an extremely effective insulating material because it prevents air movement and the resulting heat loss and can be used for the following applications:
Fiber glass batts are spun from molten glass and sand into fibers and are an extremely effective insulating material because tiny pockets of air resist the flow of heat and cold. Fiber glass batts are the most common form of insulation in American homes.
Some fiber glass is blown in with a minimal amount of water and/or adhesive. This type of insulation has no settling and dries faster than wet spray cellulose. Sprayed fiber glass is able to get up to R-15 in a 2 x 4 wall cavity and R-23 in a 2x6 wall cavity and does not have the weight or corrosion issues of cellulose.
Fiber glass insulation is a cost-effective, energy-saving product that saves money for individuals and businesses through lower utility bills while increasing the comfort levels for all building occupants.* In addition, adequate levels of fiber glass pipe insulation for industrial processes have helped make industry more efficient and more profitable by cutting energy losses and decreasing production costs. By avoiding the added energy generation necessary to heat and cool buildings, fiber glass insulation continues to be a benefit to the environment by helping to reduce pollution emissions.
Of course, there are different advantages and disadvantages to these insulation materials, and we will gladly go over your options with you to help select the best option for you.
We work with you to increase your home's resistance to heat flow, or R-factor, to help you get the most out of your energy dollars.
