Owens Corning, the company that invented fiberglass insulation, has released its most recent product: PINK Next Gen Fiberglas insulation.
This improved insulation solution, which employs cutting-edge fiber technology, allows for up to 23% faster installation than our previous products.
The innovative fiber technology developed by PINK Next Gen Fiberglas creates a tightly woven network of soft, fine fibers to form a super-resilient blanket of insulating micro-pockets.
The new solution, which takes advantage of numerous new technological advancements, is safer for installers and residents alike, as well as faster to install than competitor insulation products and spray foam insulation.
Because no dangerous chemicals must be mixed on the installation site, there is less room for human error, giving installers and residents more peace of mind.
“Today’s contractors have high-performance expectations and extremely tight timelines,” stated Joe Wagner, Insulation’s marketing director.
“This product evolution represents a significant step forward in meeting the needs of contractors, installers, builders, and homeowners.”
The product is designed to meet building codes while also assisting professionals in managing tight labor schedules and budgets by reducing installation time.
PINK Next Gen Fiberglas insulation focuses on four key problem-solving areas:
