Fiber Glass Insulation Addresses Air Quality Concerns

Fiber glass building insulation products manufactured by CertainTeed minimize pollutants and VOCs in the home such as formaldehyde, respirable particles, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.

Headquartered in Valley Forge, PA, CertainTeed is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

The company’s insulation products are certified by the GREENGUARD™ Environmental Institute, which means that they contribute very low levels of pollutants to the indoor environment.

The GREENGUARD Air Quality Certification on home products indicates that they have been independently tested using stringent environmental protocols based on standards of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the World Health Organization.

Building products are tested when they are manufactured, which is when possible emissions are at their highest.
