The life span of your insulation can be influenced by various factors like water damage and physical damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is rare that your insulation will reach the ripe old age of 100 as the natural degradation of the product occurs, and it may not perform as effectively as it once did initially. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appearance and Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiberglass insulation looks like hundreds of interwoven long and thin glass fibers. These fibers are either compacted together to create thick flat pieces called batts or into larger rolls. Blown-in fiberglass insulation is also a popular form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One form that is the least common is fiberglass boards, which can be rigid or semi-rigid, depending on the density of the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Batts are usually used between wall studs and are stapled in place. Rolls and fiberglass boards can be used between walls as well as ceiling joists. Blown-in fiberglass is more for those hard-to-reach crevices that most are not able to get to, like around pipes and attic spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiberglass insulation also comes in various colors, including but not limited to pink, green, and blue. However, these colors are merely only used to identify the manufacturer of said insulation and don&rsquo;t really have any other purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/mixing-cellulose-and-fiberglass-issues\/\">Mixing Cellulose and Fiberglass Insulation | Any Issues?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inherent R-Value of Fiberglass Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the cost of the insulation, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/insulation-r-value-what-it-mean\/\">R-value<\/a> is one of the most important characteristics you need to consider when purchasing your insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The R-value is a measure of how well an insulating material can resist heat flow. In theory, the greater the R-value, the greater the ability of the insulation material to keep heat in. The R-value is also proportional to how thick or how dense your insulation is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blown-in fiberglass has an inherent R-value of 2.2-2.7, and the batts are 3.1-3.4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass.jpg\" alt=\"Blown-in fiberglass and a batt fiberglass\" class=\"wp-image-25622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Blown-in fiberglass and a batt fiberglass\" class=\"wp-image-25622 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blown-in-fiberglass-and-a-batt-fiberglass.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiberglass insulation can be used in many forms and in different parts of a home, but some places require greater R-values in comparison to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you may need to consider not only the form of insulation to use but also how much heat needs to be contained in that area and how thick the insulation needs to be to achieve this.

The cost for installation of batts can range between $1.87 and $2.97 per board foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is still more affordable than its other competitors, like <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/spray-foam-insulation-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23614\">spray foam insulation<\/a>, which can cost around $1 to $5 per square foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Easy to Install?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation process isn&rsquo;t too difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to installing fiberglass batts, you would just need to take your batt pieces and lay them in the gaps in your walls. And because of the type of material fiberglass insulation is made from, it lays quite rigid (yet very flexible) and fills gaps in walls quite efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are installing insulation on ceilings, you will have gravity against you and need to staple them to the ceiling boards with the help of a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolls are also DIY as you would just need to roll the insulation into the required spaces and are not in pieces like batts are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Install Fiberglass Insulation | This Old House\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OWQpsbILOPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, blown-in fiberglass insulation is a little harder as you need to rent a blowing machine and feed fiberglass fill into the machine.

The thin glass fibers are easily broken and can break up into smaller particles and exposure to these are what causes discomfort and is an irritant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should it come in contact with and penetrate the skin, the fragments lodge themselves in the skin causing a rash that can lead to flaky, red, and irritated skin with blisters. The deeper the penetration, the longer the exposure and the thicker the fibers the more severe the symptoms will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fibers may also land up in the eyes and lungs causing further irritation. You can prevent these outcomes by simply wearing protective clothing such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Protective goggles with side shields<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rubber gloves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose or disposable clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do come into contact with fiberglass, wash your skin and pat down with a towel. Place some tape over the glass fibers on your skin and peel the tape off. Repeat this until all the fibers have been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may experience more skin irritation if dealing with batts and rolls as it&rsquo;s a very hands-on job.

Thus, it is quite a sustainable type of insulation that&rsquo;s not harmful to the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawbacks of Fiberglass Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Working in direct contact with toxic materials. It can cause quite severe dermatitis when in contact with skin and also cause eye irritations. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/mineral-wool-insulation-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23589\">Mineral wool<\/a> is much safer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>It doesn&rsquo;t act as a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/difference-encapsulation-and-vapor-barrier\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/difference-encapsulation-and-vapor-barrier\/\">vapor barrier<\/a>, allowing moisture to infiltrate your home. You may need to add a film to the insulation, which can come at an extra cost. Spray foam, however, is a vapor barrier on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike spray foam insulation, fiberglass does lose its shape over time and starts to settle and expose gaps allowing air to move freely. This decreases the R-value of the insulation and will continue to do so over its lifespan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.retrofoamofmichigan.com\/blog\/fiberglass-insulation-material-ingredients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.retrofoamofmichigan.com\/blog\/fiberglass-insulation-material-ingredients<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildwithrise.com\/stories\/fiberglass-insulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.buildwithrise.com\/stories\/fiberglass-insulation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pricewiseinsulation.com.au\/blog\/insulation-batts-vs-rolls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/pricewiseinsulation.com.au\/blog\/insulation-batts-vs-rolls\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inspectapedia.com\/insulation\/Fiberglass_Insulation_Identification.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/inspectapedia.com\/insulation\/Fiberglass_Insulation_Identification.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advantagehomeperformance.com\/insulation\/insulation-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/advantagehomeperformance.com\/insulation\/insulation-materials\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tidewaterinsulators.com\/blog\/what-does-insulation-look-like\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.tidewaterinsulators.com\/blog\/what-does-insulation-look-like<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/home-improvement\/insulation\/what-is-fiberglass-insulation\/#:~:text=However%2C%20the%20average%20cost%20to,insulation%20is%20not%20extremely%20difficult.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/home-improvement\/insulation\/what-is-fiberglass-insulation\/#:~:text=However%2C%20the%20average%20cost%20to,insulation%20is%20not%20extremely%20difficult.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seacoastonline.com\/story\/news\/2001\/03\/18\/how-safe-is-your-basement\/51302139007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.seacoastonline.com\/story\/news\/2001\/03\/18\/how-safe-is-your-basement\/51302139007\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/fiberglass-in-skin#:~:text=Skin%20exposure%20can%20result%20in,the%20inflammation%20will%20be%20red\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/fiberglass-in-skin#:~:text=Skin%20exposure%20can%20result%20in,the%20inflammation%20will%20be%20red<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping your home&rsquo;s temperature under control is a key element to focus on when building it, especially if you are situated in parts of the world that experience extreme temperatures. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":25619,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"disable-in-feed":false,"article-schema-type":"","disable-critical-css":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[615],"tags":[627,177],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
