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.
Readers? Your experience?
