Eco Spray Foam of Long Island is proud to offer a variety of insulation types to our customers, specializing in high-performance, energy-saving solutions with the experience of our highly trained technicians to satisfy our customers’ needs for a healthier, quieter and more energy efficient indoor environment. One insulation we offer that meets many of these needs for customers is fiberglass insulation.
Benefits of Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation has remained the preeminent insulation material for residential and commercial instruction since its inception in 1938. It stands out for its environmentally friendly materials and its acoustic capabilities. Fiberglass insulation is made almost entirely of recycled materials, with up to 80% of its glass content being derived from recycled glass containers or bottles. The remaining ingredient in the insulation is silica sand, a naturally occuring resource that greatly reduces the environmental impact of fiberglass manufacturing processes. One study done by the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) found that fiberglass insulation manufacturers recycled over 8 billion pounds of glass in just eight years, clearing millions of feet of landfill space.
Fiberglass Insulation Cost
Fiberglass insulation is mainly used for making buildings more thermally efficient by retaining and trapping heat or cold air, depending on the season. Fiberglass insulation can come with very customizable R-Values and retains its R-value for most of its life, so it can perform at high levels of energy efficiency for long periods of time. Besides being highly efficient and long-lasting, fiberglass is also one of the most affordable insulation options available. It has one of the lowest install prices of any insulation material, and when you take its low initial cost plus its long years of high quality performance and energy efficiency, it becomes the most cost-effective option for insulation systems.
Beyond cost, fiberglass insulation presents many additional benefits for a homeowner, one of which is its sound reduction capabilities. Just an inch of fiberglass insulation can reduce sound transmission by several points, which makes a large difference for homeowners hoping to avoid thin walls or noisy floors. Fiberglass insulation is also entirely flame-retardant: the glass and sand recycled components are naturally noncombustible and don’t need extra chemical treatments or potentially toxic additions. Fiberglass is also moisture resistant, meaning it’s far less likely to develop mold or mildew once installed and generally avoids contamination during installation processes as well. Between environmental, economic, and energy efficient concerns, fiberglass remains the leading insulation material and one we are happy to offer to our customers.
