In this paper, experiments to investigate fibrous insulating materials used in buildings have been performed. Two kinds of glass fibers based products were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with an EDX detector, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction diagnostic method were used to assess materials properties. Through the coupling of thermal analyses with morphological and structural characterization techniques, a fast and safer comparison between the insulators becomes possible. So, after being tested at various rates of humidities, it is shown that the aim cause of ageing in the glass wools studied is mainly due to their binders. In fact, the alteration of glass constituting fibers comes much later. Besides, there is no preferential orientation for the vapor transfer inside glass wools.
