Fiberglass Insulation a Major Fire Hazard: Protect Your DE or MD Home

It is important for homeowners to feel comfortable and more importantly safe in their own homes.  It is easy to feel safe when you don’t know the possible dangers in your home.  One main area of concern for Dr. Energy Saver inspectors is fire safety.  

Flammable Insulation

Some types of insulation, such as fiberglass insulation, are very flammable and have little to no fire resistant qualities.  For homes that have active chimneys and metal exhaust vents in their attics, basements, or near insulation, it is extremely important to cover these surfaces with fire-safe materials.

Rockwool Insulation Rejects Fire Damage

One solution Dr. Energy Saver provides is Rockwool. This type of insulation is extremely heat resistant and is non-combustible.  It is also flexible so it is easy to install in various locations in your home.  To see just how fire-resistant Rockwool is and how it stand up in comparison to other types of insulation, check out our Rockwool fire test video.
