Recycled Glass Or Plastic Insulation

[CALLAKN]

hi guys,

Can someone please clear up my question, we have a load of rolls of recycled glass insulation in the garage to use, but don’t want to use it if it’s not right for the job and will hold moisture,

Is plastic the right option or are they both ok to use ??

Done a years camping now in the van, with dodo thermal insulation (7mm) And decided after watching some techy science videos that proper insulation that you use in lofts is the best kind.

Cheers in Advance

What about wool insulation? Much nicer to handle.

I like it, will it hold moisture though ?!

I don't think sheeps wool does hold moisture, but it is far more expensive than recycled bottle stuff. I used a dacron over dodo mat on mine and its very similar to the plastic bottle insulation a lot of people now use just a bit more refined.

So can someone answer if I can use the recycled glass insulation I have in the garage because I really don’t want to end up with a rusty van in years to come due to moisture build up

If it’s the rockwool stuff then no.
