Here, glass wool has been proven to be a green building material. Its composition makes it stand out among all building materials. Therefore, please continue reading to understand its features and applications.

1、 What is glass wool?

Glass wool is an inorganic fiber material. It converts quartz sand or recycled glass into fiber materials after high-temperature melting at 1400 ℃. After processing, glass wool can be made into products such as boards, rolls, tubes, and strips, making it an environmentally friendly material that plays the best role in green buildings.

2、 The advantages of glass wool

1. Glass wool has excellent performance, including sound insulation and heat insulation.

2. Glass wool is a cheaper and more affordable material. Compared with other insulation materials on the market, its cost is lower.

3. Glass wool is made of minerals. Therefore, it can withstand flames up to 500 ℃.

4. Glass wool can be composite with other materials, such as fiberglass decorative sound-absorbing panels, fiberglass sound-absorbing ceilings, aluminum foil veneer glass wool, fiberglass ducts, etc.

5. Glass wool has corrosion resistance and anti-corrosion properties, which can avoid corrosion and extend its service life.

6. Glass wool does not breed bacteria, molds, etc., so it does not pose a health risk to people living in houses.

7. Glass wool is the perfect insulation material for attics and cellars. It can also protect outdoor shelters.

8. Glass wool can isolate all different types of surfaces. It includes occupied rooftop spaces, walls, partitions, etc.

9. Glass wool essentially has the characteristics of elasticity and adaptability. So, its installation is very simple. It can be installed in floor, roof, and wall spaces.

3、 The application scope of glass wool insulation materials

1. Roof

Nearly 40% of the heat increase or loss in buildings occurs through the roof. In return, it requires more appliances to use. It will ultimately encourage energy waste. That's why using laminated glass wool material is the best choice for energy conservation.

It helps to improve the energy efficiency of buildings through insulation materials. Glass wool insulation material can protect the building envelope structure. It can allow heat to escape in summer. It also provides comfort and reduces energy consumption.

2. Ceiling

The use of glass wool on the ceiling has various advantages. The most valuable benefit is thermal comfort. It provides insulation for the ceiling. In addition, installing glass wool on the ceiling can also help reduce noise. It can control the noise entering through the roof from another floor.

3. Partition wall

Glass wool is often used for partition walls in household and industrial structures. It can absorb sound from the environment. Simple bricks can be replaced with this material. It has higher fire and sound insulation performance, and smaller wall thickness.

Glass wool can reduce noise by up to 60 decibels or more. In addition, it also maintains fire safety requirements for partition walls. Modern partition walls used in commercial buildings should have very useful uses. It is very important to install materials such as glass wool to meet the necessary specifications.

4. Ground level

To prevent impact noise, the floor must be insulated. Glass wool is used to separate two different floors. Glass wool insulation material can be used to isolate noise in situations. It reduces noise from machinery or appliances. It can also isolate the noise emitted by humans walking on the floor.

Glass wool has a certain compressive strength. It can withstand impact loads caused by various disturbances. Glass wool will not transmit sound to other areas of the building. Therefore, this material plays an important role in the floor insulation layer.

5. Industrial insulation

The industry always requires complex and extensive industrial insulation materials. Among all other materials, glass wool has been proven to be an excellent industrial material. Glass wool provides high-quality insulation materials for enterprises. It has a range of applications and temperatures. They are very flexible and highly compressible against mechanical resistance.

For safety reasons, good insulation materials are required in the environment. This material enhances the sustainability of operations and processes. It has incredible heat resistance. In industry, glass wool can be used in combination with rock wool. It is used for higher-level insulation. In addition, it also has the characteristics of high efficiency and thinner appearance.

6. Metal architecture

Metal buildings benefit from reducing the non flammability of the structure. Glass wool can resist moisture in buildings. It helps to make the structure durable and stable through its excellent performance. Glass wool can serve as a heat transfer barrier. It helps to resist the heat of summer and maintain warm air in winter.

7. Automotive insulation

Glass wool is manufactured and inspected according to quality requirements. That's why it can provide high thermal and acoustic performance. It has mechanical durability and fire safety. It maintains precise temperature to maximize engine performance. It also reduces carbon dioxide emissions to the environment. Therefore, it can be proven to be a powerful barrier to prevent car heat loss.

Glass wool is an excellent molding product. It allows for the use of processes such as compression molding. Therefore, people can manufacture components of any shape with multiple finishes. This is an advantage for the use of the automotive industry.
