What gives better thermal insulation glass wool or rock wool?
It depends on the application and your budget. The rockwool insulation is more dense (KG/M3) than the glasswool insulation. The rockwool is also economical as compared to glasswool insulation. In some cases where the air velocity is greater one must use rockwool because it does not decay to much and does not cause any health issues. Glasswool and rockwool, both are incombustible so you can choose whatever you want. But I shall go with the economical one.

Would the tight packing of more insulation such as glass wool in an enclosed space increase or decrease the insulation value?
Answer nr. 2 Contrary to the logic expressed in the first answer, packing more tightly, glass wool would insulate slightly better, According to Izi, (sales person at Golmat ltd.). Doubling the thickness of glass wool insulation will double the insulating ratio, while doubling the density will increase the insulation ratio by about 15%. Mic602 most likely decrease. most insulation materials are based on trapping air which is a great insulator, by compressing them you would be pussing the air out and reducing insulation value.
