Explanation: All insulation is typically fire-resistant to some extant - some far more than others. Batt insulation with the paper-facing will be less fire resistant than that without paper. That being said, batts can be made of different materials (fiberglass, rockwool, even denim) & they will each have their own fire resistant factors. Blown fiberglass has a slightly higher fire resistance factor but still doesn’t give you a fire-wall like cellulose does. In case of a fire, the fiberglass just melts out of the way - the cellulose will actually repel a fire & that is to last the life of the structure. | | Harper’s Insulation | | | ProMatcher | Answer: True
