Every homeowner aspires to create a sanctuary that reflects their personal style, whether it be serene minimalism or vibrant eclecticism. However, the cornerstone of a truly inviting home starts with an often-overlooked element: the insulation hidden within your attic and walls.
Understanding Insulation: What Is It?
Today’s fiberglass insulation is designed with both comfort and indoor air quality in mind, focusing on sustainability and ease of installation. Knauf Performance+ fiberglass insulation is crafted from recycled glass bottles, which are melted down and formed into soft, flexible fibers. Using a natural, bio-based binder technology, it contains no dyes, no added formaldehyde, and no harmful chemicals. This helps create a more comfortable, healthy home environment.
