TRANSCRIPT

  • 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.
