fiberglass insulation

Pink wall stuffing

Fiberglass insulation is material made from fine glass fibers, used to slow heat transfer in buildings.

It comes in batts, rolls, or loose fill, typically installed in walls, attics, and floors.

The pink or yellow fluffy material is a fixture of residential construction: We added fiberglass insulation to the attic to cut heating costs.
