The five common Thermal Insulation materials

Before deciding which Heat Resistant Insulation materials you feel are right for you, there are profuse things you need to consider. What is the R-value, price, sound insulation properties & environmental impact? Here is a list of the five most commonly used insulation materials & what they can do for you. Mineral Wool Mineral wool covers quite a few kinds of insulation. It could refer to either glass wool which is fibreglass manufactured from recycled glass or rock wool which is a kind of insulation made from basalt. Most mineral wool doesn’t have additives to make it fire resistant, making it poor for use in situations where extreme heat is present. Fibreglass Fibreglass is an immensely popular insulation material. One of its key benefits is value. Fibreglass insulation has a lower installed price than many other kinds of Heat Resistant Insulation materials and, for equivalent R-Value performance (i.e., thermal resistance), it is generally the most reasonable option whe...
