Question from Hope Fox

We are considering using formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation in our new home, and have three questions:

Would you consider the acrylic binders used to be a problem?

Anything else to look out for (presumably batts without paper or plastic covers would be best)?

Can anyone recommend specific brands?

I have often heard Miraflex by Owens Corning recommended, but they stopped producing the product several years ago.

Johns Mansfield has a few products: www.jm.com/insulation/building_insulation/4483.htm

Debra’s Answer

I’ve been recommending the Johns Mansfield because it’s easy to get at Home Depot. I haven’t personally used it.
