Yes! Modern fiberglass insulation is completely safe when properly installed. It's non-combustible, doesn't support mold or mildew growth, and doesn't emit harmful gases or chemicals. While fiberglass particles can irritate skin during installation, once installed and covered, it poses no health risk. Our professional installation ensures safe handling and proper coverage. Fiberglass has been safely used in millions of homes for over 70 years.

Properly installed fiberglass insulation lasts 50+ years without losing effectiveness. Unlike other materials that can settle, sag, or deteriorate, fiberglass batts maintain their loft and R-value for decades. The key is professional installation to avoid compression and gaps. With our expert installation, your fiberglass insulation will provide reliable thermal protection for the lifetime of your Lincoln home with zero maintenance required.

Modern fiberglass insulation with moisture-resistant facings handles moisture well. The glass fibers themselves don't absorb water and dry quickly if exposed. Fiberglass doesn't provide food for mold or mildew—unlike organic materials like cellulose—so it won't support mold growth. However, addressing the moisture source is important. If your Lincoln home has roof leaks or high humidity, we'll identify and recommend solutions during our inspection.

Each insulation type has advantages. Fiberglass offers the best cost-per-R-value ratio, is fire-resistant, lasts 50+ years, and is easy to install in standard framing. Spray foam provides superior air sealing but costs 2-3x more. Blown-in cellulose fills gaps well but can settle over time and is flammable without treatment. For most Lincoln homes, fiberglass provides excellent performance at the best value. We'll help you choose the right solution for your specific needs and budget.
