Insulation Product


The purpose of these materials is to protect the walls after proper insulation, from heat radiations as it provides thermal barrier on the surface of the walls. They should be perfectly to the R-value, which implies to the industry standard unit of measuring the standard insular properties of material, its resistance to heat flow and transfer.

Key specifications available for building insulation

1. Length- The measurement across the longest side of the unit (feet).
2. Facing- Surface material bonded to the top surface of the unit (foil, Kraft paper, etc)
3. Width- the measurement across the shortest side of the unit (feet)
4. R-value-the industry standard unit of measuring the standard insular properties of material.
5. Thickness- the measurement between the top face and the bottom face (inches).

Glass wool batts

They have guaranteed R-values. They are fire safe and proven extensive research to be health safe.

Rock wool batts

They are the premium insulation product. It cannot be compressed and transport costs make it a more expensive home insulation product.

Sheep wool batts

It has limited range of R-values and different widths. It needs to be completely cleaned of all the natural sheep oils.

Polyester batts

It has limited range of R-values and different widths. The nature of the fibers makes it difficult to achieve R-value batts and blankets.

Polystyrene

It includes suspending ceiling raked ceiling and sheds.
Cellulose fiber loose fill

It is made from recycled newspapers. It has fire retardant chemicals.

Cosywrap

A special water replant grade of granulated rock wool is used for cavity wall insulation, insulation of double brick walls.
