In South Africa’s rapidly growing cities and towns, buildings are expected to deliver more than just shelter — they need to provide comfort, safety, and efficiency. One of the key contributors to achieving this is insulation.
Aerolite® Soft Touch isn’t just ceiling insulation—it’s peace of mind. Engineered from non-combustible glasswool and bonded with an inert thermosetting resin, this soft, yellow fibreglass insulation is designed for performance, comfort, and safety. Backed by global standards, it’s the insulation choice homeowners and professionals can trust.
Everyone needs heat in our houses to not freeze and to have a nice and comfortable indoor climate. How much is needed depends on the outdoor temperature, but also how well the house is about retaining the heat already available.This with heat, insulation and heat transfer is not always easy to understand. Here you will get a quick idea that will hopefully give you an insight into how things are all together.
One of the ways to save electricity is by installing good insulation in your home. Insulation helps maintain indoor temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning in summer and heating in winter, which in turn lowers energy consumption and electricity bills. In South Africa, where electricity is primarily supplied by Eskom, high energy costs are a significant concern. Homeowners can mitigate these costs by using energy-efficient insulation like Isover's Aerolite Soft Touch™.
Fire hazards are a serious concern in South Africa, made worse using flammable building materials and a lack of effective fire prevention measures. Cavitybatt™ and Cavitylite® insulation recently achieved an A1 fire rating under the updated South African National Standards (SANS) 53501-1 standards.
The update to the national building regulations, South African National Standard (SANS) 10400 Part T: Fire Protection, provides the framework for application of national building regulations on fire protection to minimise starting of fires in building’s and that in the unfortunate event of fire, lives are saved, property protected, and fires prevented from spreading. It is essential to comply with these regulations to avoid safety and legal consequences.
