Firstly, from the perspective of material structure, steel structure glass wool is a thermal insulation material specially designed for steel structure buildings. It adopts a special production process to tightly combine glass fiber with auxiliary materials such as resin, forming a composite material with excellent thermal insulation performance. Ordinary glass wool, on the other hand, is a loose insulation material made of glass fiber. Its fibers are arranged irregularly, forming countless small gas spaces, and have good insulation and thermal insulation effects.

Secondly, from the perspective of application fields, steel structured glass wool is widely used in thermal insulation systems for large public buildings such as industrial factories, logistics and warehousing, large supermarkets, conference and exhibition centers, airports, and sports venues. Due to the unique structural characteristics and design requirements of steel structure buildings, steel structure glass wool can meet their needs for insulation, fire prevention, moisture prevention, and other aspects. Ordinary glass wool, on the other hand, is more commonly used for thermal insulation in exterior walls, roofs, pipelines, and other areas of buildings, as well as in industrial equipment, ships, and other fields.

In terms of performance characteristics, steel structured glass wool has good thermal insulation performance, high tensile strength, good weather resistance, and good moisture resistance. Its special structural design and material composition enable it to effectively resist external environmental influences, such as wind, sun, and rainwater erosion, while maintaining thermal insulation. Ordinary glass wool is known for its lightweight, softness, fire resistance, corrosion resistance, and other characteristics. It is easy to process, install, and maintain, and can adapt to buildings and equipment of different shapes. In addition, ordinary glass wool also has good environmental performance and will not have negative impacts on human health and the environment.

In terms of construction technology, the construction of steel structure glass wool is relatively complex and requires customized design and installation according to the actual situation of steel structure buildings. Due to its unique composite structure, professional construction techniques and equipment are required for installation to ensure its thermal insulation effect and service life. The construction of ordinary glass wool is relatively simple, and installation can be carried out by pasting, laying, and other methods, with a shorter construction period.

Finally, in terms of price, due to the higher technical requirements and special production process of steel structured glass wool, its price is relatively high. However, ordinary glass wool is relatively affordable due to its simple production process, low material cost, and relatively affordable price. Therefore, when selecting insulation materials, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the actual needs and budget.

In summary, there are certain differences between steel structured glass wool and ordinary glass wool in terms of material structure, application fields, performance characteristics, construction technology, and price. In practical applications, suitable materials should be selected based on the building structure and insulation requirements. Meanwhile, during use, attention should also be paid to complying with relevant construction norms and safety requirements to ensure that the performance of insulation materials is fully utilized.
