Selecting the Right Glass Wool Product

When choosing the appropriate Glass Wool product, consider the following:

  1. Insulation Area: Identify whether you're insulating a loft, cavity wall, or specific area like windows and doors. Loft rolls and cavity slabs are excellent for broad areas, while loose wool and filler rolls are better for targeted applications.
  2. Thermal vs. Acoustic Insulation: Decide if your primary need is thermal efficiency or soundproofing. Acoustic rolls are best for noise reduction, while thermal rolls and jackets are for heat retention.
  3. Eco-Friendliness: If environmental impact is a concern, consider products like Sheepwool Loose Wool, known for their eco-friendly properties.
  4. Installation Ease: Some products, like loose wool, require careful handling, whereas rolls and slabs might be more straightforward to install.

     

By understanding your specific needs and the unique properties of each type of Glass Wool product, you can make an informed decision that ensures comfort, efficiency, and sustainability in your building projects.
