Unlike mineral fibre, it is unaffected by air movement which will prevent it from experiencing problems which will reduce its thermal performance. It is exceedingly  safe and quick to apply – masks are not required, as Kingspan Insulation materials  don’t produce loose dust or irritable fibres.

Finally, like all Kingspan goods , the Kingspan Kooltherm range is completely CFC/HCFC free and has Zero Ozone Depletion Potential.

Polystrene insulation

An additional great form of insulation is polystyrene insulation which is available in both extruded and expanded polystyrene. Extruded polystyrene is applied to insulate homes or offices as it is much more effective than expanded polystyrene. Expanded polystyrene is typically used for packaging products, and to insulate standard appliances.

Polystyrene insulation is what the Kooltherm range of insulation products are made of. These products are ideal, perfect for interior or exterior wall insulation as well as roof and floor insulation, whilst also including, basement insulation.

Environmentally Friendly

Cellulose insulation is a improved method of insulation that is the most environmentally kind material available in the market. Due to the fact insulation reduces the amount of energy needed to heat or cool a residence, it is environmentally kind. Due to the fact cellulose is produced from recycled card and other paper sources which might otherwise be left in the ground and release greenhouse gases while it decomposes, it is therefore believed to be the “greenest” product.

If our world was to change every piece of paper that is being put into landfills into cellulose insulation, eight million tons of carbon dioxide emissions would be saved. To picture this, imagine removing every car in New Mexico and Nevada off the road. That is the equivalent of 8 million tons of carbon dioxide. Fibreglass uses ten times the amount of energy that cellulose does, and foam insulation uses 64 the amount of energy. Cellulose insulation is applied by blowing it into the wall cavity and then making it non-abrasive. The only bad part of cellulose insulation is that it requires you to hire a builder so as not to injure yourself.

Kingspan Kooltherm materials  are considered for insulation because of their low price as well as effectiveness.
