Insulation Sales Growth

Rising consumer confidence and inoeased spending will stimulate demand for aggregate insulation in attic reinsulation and other residential applications through 1998, accounting forS0Vo oftotal sales.

The Fredonia GrouP expects foamed plastic to see the highest rate of growth because of its superior level of thennal resistance, durability, product versatility, performance consistency and cost competitiveness. They anticipate fiberglass insulation will have the largest gains in terms of volume because it tends to perform well over time and is cost comPetitive.

Total insulation demand is forecast to reach 5,930,000 lbs. in 1998 at a value of $4,360,0m. The total will be divided among fiberglass, 3,200,000 lbs.; foamed plastic, 1,605,000 lbs.; cellulose, 585,000 lbs.; mineral wood 400,000 lbs, and other insulation rnaterials, 140,000 lbs.
