Thermal Insulation Materials – Effectively Improve Energy Efficiency of the Building Envelope Thus Reduce Level of Greenhouse Gases

 

Thermal insulation materials are popular for their fire-resistant and thermal properties. One of the most common materials used in thermal insulation is fireproof sheeting. It has an effective way of providing thermal protection by preventing heat transfer. It is also considered one of the best fireproofing options.

Fiberglass, cellulose, and thermal foil are other thermal insulation materials. Among these, cellulose is the most commonly used material with excellent qualities. It is highly flame-resistant, water-resistant, dust-proof, and has superior thermal insulation characteristics. Its major advantage over the other materials is its ability to change from flat, to fluffy and back again. This allows the insulation product to be easily manipulated according to the changing needs of the market.

The other product used in thermal insulation materials is polystyrene or polyurethane, which is a foam-based product. Each of these products has their own unique features, so it is necessary for the buyer to know what they are looking for before making a purchase.

Among the best thermal insulation materials for home use are the sheeting with thermal conductivity ratings of A-E/F-Z. These types are made with the aim of reducing energy consumption, controlling temperature, maximizing thermal conductivity, and providing maximum protection against fire and sparks. High-temperature industrial installations require a different type of thermal insulation materials. Since high-temperature industrial installations are mostly done inside large structures, steel sheeting is the best option.

In addition, this type of thermal insulation material also provides higher levels of thermal resistance. This means that it can resist extreme heat and cold temperatures as well as high temperatures and intense strikes of force. Additionally, high temperature industrial installations require air duct systems in order to avoid excess moisture from entering the structure.

Recently, the Wienerberger Group has entered into a strategic partnership with the Interbran Group, a specialist in innovative materials and technologies to develop new and sustainable materials with optimal insulating features.
