Gain all kinds of benefits with glasswool insulation

Energy efficient

Glasswool insulation keeps your space at a stable temperature, reducing the need for constant heating or cooling. This means lower energy bills and year-round comfort. Plus, by using less energy, you’re taking a step towards a smaller carbon footprint.

Soundproofing

Glasswool’s dense fibres absorb sound, creating a quiet, peaceful environment. It’s perfect for keeping noise contained between rooms and floors. Whether for homes or businesses, it’s a solid choice for enhancing privacy and calm.

Fire safety

Non-combustible and fire-resistant, glasswool insulation adds essential safety to any building. It’s a trusted barrier that helps slow down fire spread, protecting your space. For fire safety, glasswool is hard to beat.

Eco-friendly

Made from recycled glass, glasswool is a sustainable insulation choice. It uses less energy in production, reducing emissions and landfill waste. Choosing glasswool means choosing a greener, more responsible option.

Cost-effective

Lightweight and easy to install, glasswool is a smart, affordable choice. It comes in different forms to suit any project size, from small renovations to large-scale installations. Durable and long-lasting, it’s insulation that pays off.

Get the perfect glasswool insulation for your project

Selecting the right glasswool insulation is key to achieving energy efficiency, comfort, and long-lasting performance. With options tailored to different needs, here’s what to consider when choosing the ideal product for your project:

R-Value

R-Value measures thermal resistance, with higher values providing better insulation. For colder climates, opt for a higher R-Value to retain warmth, while in warmer regions, a moderate R-Value may suit your needs, balancing energy efficiency with cost-effectiveness.

Thickness

Not all spaces can accommodate the same insulation thickness. Glasswool products come in varying thicknesses to suit wall cavities, ceiling spaces, or tight areas. Measure your space first, and choose insulation that fits without compromising its effectiveness.

Soundproofing abilities

Glasswool insulation is excellent for soundproofing, making it a top choice for noise-sensitive areas like bedrooms, home theatres, or shared walls. Look for products that specify high acoustic ratings for a quieter, more peaceful environment.

Fire ratings

Fire resistance is a critical consideration, especially in high-risk areas. Glasswool insulation is inherently non-combustible, but if fire safety is paramount, select options with enhanced fire ratings to maximise protection.

Environmental impact

Sustainability matters, and many glasswool insulation options are manufactured using recycled materials, reducing environmental impact. Look for eco-friendly certifications if you’re prioritising green building standards in your project.

FAQs

How does glasswool insulation work?

Glasswool is made from recycled glass and sand, forming a highly efficient insulation material that traps air within its fibres. This provides excellent thermal and sound insulation, reducing energy costs and improving comfort.

What’s the difference between glasswool and rockwool insulation?

While both are effective insulators, rockwool is made from volcanic rock and has a slightly higher density and temperature resistance. Glasswool, however, is lighter and generally more affordable.

What thickness of glasswool insulation should I use?

The ideal thickness of glasswool insulation depends on the application and the climate zone in your area. For example, walls typically require thinner insulation than ceilings.

Generally, thicker insulation provides better thermal and soundproofing benefits, but it’s best to consult an expert like us to determine the recommended thickness for your project.

Is glasswool insulation safe to install and handle?

Yes, modern glasswool insulation is generally safe to handle. However, it’s best to wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask during installation, as the fibres can cause skin and respiratory irritation. Once installed, glasswool insulation is safe and non-toxic.

Can glasswool insulation reduce my energy bills?

Yes, glasswool insulation effectively reduces heating and cooling costs by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature.

By preventing heat transfer, it reduces the workload on heating and cooling systems. That means lower energy usage and cost savings year-round.

How long does glasswool insulation last?

Glasswool insulation is highly durable and can last 20 years or more when properly installed and maintained. Resistant to moisture, pests, and mould, it is a reliable long-term insulation solution.

How much does glasswool insulation cost?

The price of glasswool varies depending on the type, size, and brand. At Insulation Industries, we offer competitive prices on our wide range, which is available with bulk discounts for larger projects. Call us today to learn more.
