Good Ol' Fiberglass
To the Editor:
I read with great interest about the
new wet cellulose insulation and the
so-called great results ("Contractors'
Tips for Spray-Cellulose," JLC, 8/89).
Many other items are long-gone, such
as cellulose with added insecticide and
ureaformaldehyde (UF) foam, with its
related outgassing and high shrinkage.
About ten years ago, cellulose was
treated with aluminum sulfate, causing
high corrosion. What next?
Fiberglass, though it may not be
glamorous, is still there in 78 percent
of old and new construction.
