The Hidden Dangers Of Traditional Fiberglass Or Blown-In Insulation

Having the proper insulation for your home is critical to not only keeping your home’s temperature under control, but it is also important for keeping your family safe. But what if we told you that your home’s insulation was causing more harm than good?

Traditionally, homes have been insulated with traditional rolls of fiberglass insulation called batts, or the insulation is blown in using special equipment in areas such as an attic. Unfortunately, just because a material has been used for decades does not mean that it is necessarily safe. Fiberglass insulation is a man-made material that is composed of a variety of materials with the main source being sand and recycled glass. Most homes are insulated with fiberglass or “the pink stuff,” and while many construction companies still use fiberglass insulation, more research is being conducted on its effectiveness as well as health hazards.

At Spray Foam Genie, we built our company on the foundation of providing property owners in Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas with high-quality insulation that was not only more effective than traditional fiberglass or blown-in insulation but was also safer.
