Marvin Fiberglass Windows
I purchased several Marvin Fiberglass windows and had them installed two and one-half weeks ago. Right after installation we smelled a strong acrylic odor throughout the house, which has only abated a little bit. After two weeks of research I discovered that the fiberglass is actually coated with something called "acrylic capstock". I have searched everywhere and cannot find out how harmful this odor is and when it will stop outgassing.
Fiberglass Insulation in a New Oven
We just bought a new electric range/oven and were surprised to see that the fiberglass insulation in the back of the unit is not covered where the lightbulb enters the inside of the oven. Is this a hazard? I actually started to pull on the fiberglass, as it looked like packing material to keep the bulb from breaking in transit. Wasn't pleased when I realized what I was handling, and worried that our new stove might put the fiberglass in our cooking.
