Does insulation lose R-value over time?

0

Yes it does, the question is how much. The Energy department conducted tests on fiberglass and it showed it can lose as much as 28%. With spray foam it has an initial rating and a aged rating which drops approximately 5%. The big difference is once spray foam ages out it will not lose any more insulating value.
