Default What is best insulation material?

i guess burn was the wrong word. it melts away and then the fire (heat) can
get to the next level or structural member. You can melt fiberglass
insulation away with a match. Just as you can melt steel wool away with a
match.

According to Steve Barker :
Well at least it doesn't burn like fiberglass, and support combustion in
a
big way like the foam does.


Except for the binders, fiberglass can't burn - silica isn't
combustable, and the amount of binder is relatively small.
Whereas, depending on the cellulose formulation, virtually _all_
of it will burn sooner or later.
