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%.

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.
