Thermafiber batt insulation is one of the superior insulation products in the
market that provide the ultimate thermal insulation, sound proofing as well as
fire protection. They have a high melting point than its equivalent glass fiber
products. This make it one of the most preferred insulating material for
commercial and high rise building application. Furthermore its high density built
structure facilitates amazing sound-proofing qualities; yet it is flexible enough to
accommodate tight spaces. A 3.5 inch of Thermafiber batt for 2x4 walls has a
thermal resistance of R-15.
Thermafiber batts are made of 90% recycled material and post industrial recycled
content. It makes it the most recyclable insulating material and way better than
glass fiber or other mineral wool insulation. When fire proofing is concerned, it
can withstand up-to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature and still function in
its optimum efficiency. Other products from Thermafiber provide even better fire
protection.
Advantages of Thermafiber Batts:
Mineral wool material makes it a superior water repellent
It is non-combustible, making it perfect for commercial and industrial
application
Provides high thermal insulation i.e. R-4.2 per inch of thickness.
Higher sound attenuation than other insulation products
Wide range of applications:
Continuous exterior insulation in houses and industries
Interior wall partition insulation
Acoustical insulation in studios and business organization
Thermal protection in industries and factories
Fire containment systems and other industrial applications

Sound Attenuation properties increase when installed in stud cavities.
Furthermore they are much efficient in suppressing low-frequency sound that are
produced by machines and mechanical equipments. According to research it is
seen that installing Thermafiber insulation on any structure can increase sound
transmission class (STC) rating by 5 points. Efficiency retains from medium to high
frequency sound waves.
Such high-performance mineral wool insulation is extensively used in Europe,
whereas in US it is primarily used in industrial and commercial sectors. Hence
Thermafiber products are more cost-effective in commercial application than
residential. However, today more and more home owners are adopting
Thermafiber insulation, solely because of its fire-protection properties. When it
comes to safety, this is as best as any thermal insulator can get.
