Insulation: Fiberglass Insulation
Fiber glass insulation improves the energy efficiency of a structure and allows a builder to cost-effectively meet local and state energy code requirements. Initial construction provides the best opportunity to ensure that a home is comfortable and energy-efficient.
Fiber glass batt and roll insulation comes in various thicknesses (R-values). The most common R-values are R-11, 13, 15, 19, 21, 22, 25, 30 and 38. This insulation is most commonly installed in walls and attics, as well as raised floors and floors over garages, crawl spaces and basements. Loose-fill fiberglass insulation may also be used.
