Insulation Facts:
Most insulation products are assigned an "R-Value".
R-Value means resistance to heat flow.
The higher the R-Value the better insulating power a product has.
The current code for new construction and state recommendation for pre-existing home R-Values are:
R-21 in exterior walls and
R-49 in attic ceilings.
Fiberglass VS Cellulose
Both are great choices in having an energy efficient building.
Fiberglass insulation is made from recycled glass products.
Cellulose is made from recycled news papers.
Fiberglass does not settle after installation and is naturally fire, pest, and mold resistant.
Cellulose settles 20% after installation. To accommodate for this settling there is an "installed" thickness and a "settled" thickness that an experienced installer must follow. Cellulose is treated with Boric Acid to achieve it's fire, pest, and mold resistant rating.
