Thermal Insulation Materials
Thermal insulation is good for a number of things. When it comes to any building, insulation is a must. What you may not know here is that there is more than one insulating material that does the job. There is more than one way to insulate a building – here are the insulation products we use
What Is Thermal Insulation?
Thermal Insulation is the action of insulating materials maintaining a pleasant climate within an object or structure by preventing heat loss or gain. When it comes to building insulation, the addition of thermal insulation in a structure ensures that the building reduces energy consumption, lessens unwanted temperature changes, decreases the reliance on cooling/heating systems and more. Here are some of the thermal insulation materials we use.
1. Glass Wool
This insulating material is the most commonly used one in the construction business. This is because of the way that it’s made. Glass Wool comprises of fine strands of glass weaved into the insulation material. This insulation solution reduces the energy required to maintain a comfortable living environment
2. Combi-Cut, Knauf Thermal
With partially cut perforations, Combi-cut rolls offer installers the flexibility and convenience to make narrower roll widths, without the use of tools for cutting whilst being robust to allow installation of the full roll width as a single piece. Combi-cut rolls are advanced in compression packaging technology which ensures more insulation per pack. This saves on transportation and storage space.
5. Isotherm
This insulating material is made from recycled PET plastic bottles. The material is a thermally bonded polyester that can also be recycled after use, making it eco-friendly. Its soft texture makes it easy to roll out and cut to size. Suitable for roof, geyser and wall insulation it can be used almost everywhere in the home.
