Insulation ProductThe 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.
Rockwool insulation
Rockwool insulation products are the excellent insulation materials and are fully safe to use under all conditions. Both insulation materials have been in world wide use for over 70 years, and during that time their manufacture and use have been...
Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulation is the kind of insulation that is used to reduce the flow of heat. Thermal insulation is required in most homes in order to keep utility bills under control. Huge amounts of money are spent in heating and cooling and maintaining...
Floor Insulation
Rooms can sometimes feel cold due to strong drafts rising up from gaps between the floorboards or between the skirting board and the floor. In a well-insulated house floors in the unheated areas like garages and basements can contribute to heat...
Sound Insulation
Although homes are built taking into consideration most of the aspects and requirements for a comfortable living, what is often ignored is the problem of noise or sound pollution. It definitely does not make sense to expect a quiet house when it is...
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass is a general term used for any material that happens to contain or is made up of thin fibers of glass. Fiberglass is known for both its strength and reinforcement properties. Fiberglass is an invention of the Owens Corning Company and has...
