What are the advantages and disadvantages of using glass fiber insulation in buildings?

Glass fiber insulation offers several advantages such as high thermal resistance, fire resistance, and acoustic insulation. It is lightweight, easy to install, and has good durability. However, it has some disadvantages too, including the potential release of fiberglass particles which can be harmful if inhaled, causing respiratory issues. It is also less resistant to moisture compared to some other insulation materials, which can reduce its effectiveness over time. Additionally, it requires professional installation to avoid health risks and ensure proper performance.
