Glasswool Insulation is crafted using advanced centrifugal technology to fibrose molten glass, combined with an environmentally friendly thermosetting resin binder. Composed of fine glass fibers with diameters of just a few microns, this insulation excels in fire resistance, thermal insulation, heat preservation, and sound absorption. The R-7 variant offers effective thermal control for both vertical and horizontal applications, available unfaced in roll form.
Ideal for a variety of uses, it can be installed in wood or metal framing cavities, between furring strips, or retrofitted into attics, crawl spaces, and above suspended ceilings.
Glasswool Insulation provides exceptional performance and benefits:
Key properties of Glasswool Insulation, with R-7 specifics where applicable.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Thermal Resistance (R-Value) | R-7 (estimated for lower-end thickness) |
| Thickness Range | 3½" to 12" (R-7 likely at ~2-3" based on typical glasswool R-values) |
| Fiber Diameter | Few microns |
| Material Composition | Glass fibers with thermosetting resin binder |
| Fire Resistance | Noncombustible |
| Corrosion Resistance | Noncorrosive to pipes, wiring, and metal studs |
| Form | Unfaced rolls |
Note: Exact R-7 thickness may vary; consult datasheet for precise specifications.
