Batted, fiberglass insulation is typically fire-resistant.

Answer: True
Explanation: Although glass is considered "fire-resistant" because it is made of glass and treated with a fire coating to meet local standards, it is only partially fire-resistant. In many cases, fiberglass batt insulation is covered with paper or sometimes foil and that can be flammable.

Answer: True
Explanation: Fiberglass batts are generally fire resistant, however if the fiberglass batt has a paper backing this can burn.

Answer: True
Explanation: Fiberglass insulation is made of glass combined with plastic polymers and is naturally fire-resistant. However, you need to be careful with batts that are backed with foil or paper as these materials can burn quickly.

Answer: True
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.

Answer: True
Explanation: Can be fire resistant in a lot of different products

Answer: True
Explanation: Unfaced batt insulation is fire resistant. Faced batts with Kraft paper facing can be considered flammable.

Answer: True
Explanation: If a fire gets hot enough the fiberglass will melt rather than hold a flame.

Answer: True
Explanation: Fiberglass is fire-resistant

Answer: False
Explanation: Not all batted insulation is fire proof, but the insulation we use are all fire proof rated.
