The advantages of installing fiberglass insulation go way beyond the thermal benefits. Because it's comprised of sand and other inorganic substances, fiberglass is also fire resistant--an important consideration when insulating a building. In the event of a fire, the fiberglass will help contain the fire since it isn't able to ignite. This is a benefit you don't get with cellulose insulation, which burns very easily. The fire-resistant nature of fiberglass isn't temporary. It will last until the insulation needs to be replaced. And, since it needs no additional treatments to keep it fire retardant, it gives you one less thing to worry about when planning the maintenance of your building. Reducing the Level of Sound with Thermal Building Insulation
Thermal fiberglass insulation is also valuable for reducing the transmission of sound through ceilings, walls and floors. In a commercial building where noise may be an issue, this is especially important. The first inch of fiberglass thermal insulation alone can increase the building's Sound Transmission Class (STC) by between three and four points. Here at www.MetalBuildingInsulation.com, we sell blankets of fiberglass insulation that are appropriate for new and existing buildings. The prices on the products that we offer are up to 50 percent lower than you'll find elsewhere--making us the most affordable way to add thermal insulation to your building. Within a short amount of time, the insulation will pay for itself in energy savings, and the building occupants are sure to appreciate the reduction in sound transmission.
