Fibreglass insulation is a man-made product made of very thin glass fibres. It was first developed for use in the home in the 1930’s and became popular when it was discovered that another excellent insulator, asbestos, was harmful to our health. Despite its make-up and the energy-heavy way in which it is manufactured, fibreglass insulation is a great alternative to cancer-causing asbestos.
Available in various forms, such as rolls, batts, or loose-fill, fiberglass insulation can be easily installed in a wide range of applications, including walls, ceilings, and floors. Its inherent fire resistance and moisture resistance make it a safe and durable choice for homeowners seeking a long-lasting insulation solution.
Fibreglass insulation works like other types of insulation by keeping heat from escaping. The glass fibres in fibreglass are spun so that they’re surrounded by air, which helps trap heat.
To be effective, insulation must retain its air pockets whether it is in the form of batts or rolls, or if it is loose as a blown insulation. These pockets play an important role by providing a barrier against the escape of warm air and slowing down the travel of noise. Fiberglass insulation contributes to reducing energy consumption and related utility costs by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, thereby minimizing the need for heating and cooling systems.

Traditional flat roofs tend to leak because water can penetrate them through cracks and blisters. However, our fibreglass roofing is seamless and one-piece, so water cannot cause any leaks. We are confident in its quality and offer a 25-year guarantee.
With a fibreglass flat roof, you won’t have to worry about any cracks, blisters, moss, or algae. Plus, there are no hidden costs! If you’re interested in learning more about this option for your roof, contact us today.
