It is essentially made by weaving fine strands of glass into a thermal insulationmaterial. Fibreglass is non-flammable and its R-value can range between 2.9 and 3.8 per inch. The main downside of fibreglass is the safety concerns surrounding glass powder and shards that can damage eyes, skin, and lungs during installation. If you are looking for an affordable insulation solution, fibreglass is definitely your ideal choice.

It is available in loose form and made using recycled paper, cardboard, and other similar materials. Various studies indicate that cellulose might be an excellent product to minimise fire damage. The R-value ranges between 3.1 and 3.7 per inch. That said, you need to check your homeowners for allergies as some people are allergic to newspaper dust. Also, cellulose installation is difficult compared to other materials for home insulation, but it is an affordable yet effective product for most scenarios. • Foam • While fibreglass and cellulose are excellent home thermal insulation materials, they simply do not compare to the advantages of spray foam insulation.
