How insulation works

Glasswool Insulation is one of the few products whose primary purpose is to provide comfort and save energy.

Its properties are used to “slow down” or “resist” the flow of energy such as heat providing a comfortable,healthy, safe and quite space for your family.

It provides a high resistance to the flow of heat through the building envelope of your home which limits the impact of the outside temperature variations helping to maintain a stable and comfortable living environment.
 

Insulation will protect your home against cold, heat and noise
How insulation works 1

1. The ceiling is one of the largest areas in your home for heat gain. 
2. Heat energy from the sun moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. 
3. Cooling units have to work harder to lower the temperature. 
4. This means there is an increase in electricity consumption and your electricity bill

How it works 2

1. Aerolite Soft Touch slows down the rate of heat exchange from the higher outside air temperature into your cooler house temperature. 
2. Indoor climate remains comfortable. 
3. Cooling units work optimally.
