Economic benefits of fiberglass insulation

Insulation reduces average home heating and cooling costs by around 32 percent (according to the Department of Energy).
Increasing the insulation in an under-insulated home results in a decrease in monthly utility bills (savings may vary).
One of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable year-round is to add insulation to your attic.
Fiberglass insulation products can be installed by doing the work yourself, which keeps front end costs lower and gives you a quicker payback.
Fiberglass insulation is a one-time cost that lasts for the life of the building (typically 50-70 years) and requires no further maintenance, according to NAIMA.

Interesting insulation facts

Fiberglass insulation is made from mineral substances processed from molten state to an incombustible fibrous form.
Fiberglass insulation increases the sound transmission class (STC) rating when properly installed in building assemblies. It has been determined that thickness has greater value in sound control than density.
Guardian Fiberglass products contain 30% post consumer recycled glass and 5% post industrial recycled glass.
R-Value means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the greater the insulating value.
