Link issue

The first paragraph links to Steel wool, I'm wondering if this is a mistake? Guess it should be Stone wool? - VicVal 18:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asbestos?

I've always thought that "glass wool" was abestos. I can't find anything on Wikipedia about it...Chemstudent17 01:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Chemstudent17[reply]

Oops...I misspelled it...it's asbestos. Chemstudent17 01:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Chemstudent17[reply]

It is not. Glass wool is an artificial insulation product made of glass.--FocalPoint (talk) 16:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bad selection of pictures?

The pictures currently used in this topic seem to be more about fiberglass than glass wool, a different material except in origin.

While I don't have any pictures at hand to offer, pictures of regular unadorned glass wool 4" thick mats/bats, glass wool mats/bats in a building context and loose glass wool loosely packed in a building cavity (such as an attic) would be more illustrative than the current pictures of glass fiber piping and completely encased pipe insulation (where only the cover is seen, not the insulation beneath). 77.215.46.17 (talk) 23:05, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

this artilce needs to be written in one english language standard

this article needs to be written in one english language standard or carefully rewritten to clearly distinguish between north american building uses and european building uses — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.88.206 (talk) 00:14, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you have the time then feel free to make changes. Unfortunately, most edits to this article either vandalise it, or add to the huge list of uses, which frankly, have limited encyclopaedic value. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 09:01, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Effect of moisture

Could someone please add information about the effects of moisture on glass wool, and what (if anything) is generally done to avoid any problems? I would have expected a section on Properties, where this would naturally fit, but I do not see this. PJTraill (talk) 12:08, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
