Why is polyester a good insulator?
Thermal & acoustic control
Polyester insulation effectively lowers energy costs and enhances indoor comfort year-round. Excellent at retaining warmth in winter and keeping out heat in summer, it also excels in noise reduction, making interiors quieter and more serene.
Recyclable & cost-effective
In today’s sustainable building climate, this insulation emerges as an eco-friendly option. Composed mostly of recycled materials and fully recyclable, it produces no waste during manufacturing, combining cost-efficiency with environmental care.
Non-toxic & hypoallergenic
Being non-toxic, itch-free, and low in allergens, polyester insulation is user-friendly and safe. Ideal for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, it requires no protective gear during handling.
Lightweight & long-lasting
Despite its lightness, this insulation boasts high durability, resisting chemicals, stretching, shrinking, and mildew. Its thermal bonding enhances longevity, maintaining effectiveness over time.
Easy to install
Designed for simplicity, polyester batts are self-supporting, do not require stapling, and can be easily torn by hand. They effectively cover all areas, ensuring no gaps, with off-cuts usable in smaller spaces.
Moisture & fire resistant
Resistant to water and quick-drying, polyester insulation remains unaffected by moisture. Additionally, it has a low fire risk, enhancing its safety profile.
Polyester vs. wool insulation
Polyester insulation is manufactured from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), which is mainly sourced from recycled plastic materials such as bottles and packaging. On the other hand, Glasswool combines recycled glass materials and sand.
While both insulation materials are made from high recycled content and are recyclable at the end of their life, there are some key differences.
Polyester insulation is favoured for its non-toxic, zero-itch and hypoallergenic properties, whereas Glasswool offers a lower cost alternative with very high fire resistance.
Whatever your choice, Insulation Industries has you covered. Discover premium polyester and Glasswool insulation in various forms and thicknesses to meet your insulation requirements.
