Versatility

Fibrous glass insulation boards are available in a range of stiffnesses, faced or unfaced, and in a range of thicknesses. They may be applied to round, rectangular, oval, or irregularly shaped ducts, plenums, and equipment.

Thermally efficient

These insulations reduce heat loss or gain through duct, plenum, and equipment walls, saving energy and helping to reduce equipment operating costs.

Mechanical strength

Higher density insulations resist compression. They are especially suited for use in mechanical rooms, where traffic is frequent and a neat finished appearance is desired.

Easy to install

Fibrous glass insulation boards can be installed simply by impaling on weld pins and securing with speed clips or washers, or using special weld pins with integral cupped head washers. Panels are easy to handle, cut, and install. They are frequently used as insulations in systems exposed to the weather.

Acoustical performance

These fibrous glass insulations provide excellent sound absorption properties for vibration damping but do not control airborne noise. Consult manufacturers' literature for specific sound absorption data.

Code compliance

Fibrous glass insulation boards meet the physical property requirements of ASTM C 612 as well as meeting fire safety requirements of NFPA 90A and 90B including limited combustibility. They also comply with all widely used model codes including ICC, BOCA, CABO, ICBO, and SBCCI.
