Insulation Alternatives

There are now many types of insulation products being used in conventional building. They may provide a convenient or sometimes a healthier approach to increasing the energy efficiency of a building. However, it is important to note that because some materials have been on the market for only a short time they may not be widely available and performance and durability of some materials may not be know.

Some examples are Glass Fiber (Fiberglass), Mineral Wool, Plastic Fiber, Polyurethane Foams, Nitrogen-based Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) Foam, Phenolic Foam, Cementitious Foam, Foaming Insulation Vehicles, Structural Insulating Panels (SIP), Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF), Concrete Block Insulations, "Natural" Fibers.
