What does fiberglass insulation really do ?

A well insulated home is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving energy and reducing heating and cooling bills while adding to the thermal and acoustical comfort of a home. Thermal Comfort Insulation resists the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy - it always travels from hot to cold - flowing outward in winter and inward in summer. By reducing heat flow, a properly insulated home uses less energy in winter for heating and less in the summer for cooling. Acoustical Comfort Insulation is also an excellent sound absorber as well as an energy saver. When installed in the walls and ceilings, it can reduce the transmission of sound. Sound transmission is noise that travels from room to room - or from home to home - or from appliances such as washers, dryers, heating and air conditioning systems, phones, radios and TV's. Insulation is one of the more important contributors to the energy efficiency of a home. Make the right choice and start saving money and energy in a more comfortable and more valuable home.
