Glasswool

The products based on the staple glass fibre have a number of advantages that place the glass fibre thermal insulation materials among the most widely used insulation materials in the world.

Optimal product range
The offered range of materials with various features makes it possible to choose a thermal insulation scheme that matches optimally the operating conditions of building structures and the project budget.

Easy to handle
The glass fibre thermal insulation is a material with the increased elasticity, which guarantees the firm adherence to walls and corners of a building that prevents the air gaps from being formed between the structures and the thermal insulation. All these materials are vibration resistant; they are not prone to shrinkage and exfoliation.

Moisture protection
Knauf Insulation recommends using materials produced with the Aquastatik technology in structures operated under the increased humidity conditions or under the risk of the moisture penetration. Aquastatik is a brand new additional moisture protection technology implemented in Knauf Insulation materials.

Vapour permeability
The glass fibre insulation ensures the free passage of the water vapour via the material preserving the optimum humidity conditions for the building and its structures.

Low-weight thermal insulation
The application of lightweight glass fibre mineral wool slabs and mats reduces the load on the bearing structures of a building. The low weight of the thermal insulation makes it easier to transport and to handle on site.

Fire safety
Knauf Insulation products meet the fire safety requirements in full. It means that the application of these materials does not contribute to the spread of fire and the smoke pollution of rooms in case of fire.

Chemical and biological neutrality
Glass-fibre-based Knauf Insulation thermal insulation materials do not smell or rot, and inhibit the mould and bacterial growth. These materials are chemically neutral and do not contain harmful substances.

Environmentally sound thermal insulation
Knauf Insulation products are made of natural materials on the modern high-tech equipment. The application of the innovative ECOSE® Technology made it possible to get rid of the addition of formaldehyde and acrylic compounds in the course of the production. Thus, Knauf Insulation materials are not only safe for health, but also human and environment-friendly. The products have passed all toxicological and radiological tests. The environmental soundness of the materials is confirmed with Ukrainian expert opinions as a result of the sanitary and hygiene expert appraisal.

Additional delivery and storage advantages
The compressibility of materials permits compressing them in packages to 1/6 of the initial volume. It contributes a lot to savings during the transportation and storage. Knauf Insulation glass fibre thermal insulation is supplied on a pallet in multi-packs making it easier to load and unload the material, while the strong packaging film provides the reliable protection of the material against the environmental impact. The product in multi-packages can be easily stored outdoors at any time of the year.
