Midfloor & Wall / Ceiling Insulation

Overview

Knauf Insulation’s thermal and acoustic insulation is made from highly resilient, inorganic glass fibres bonded with ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary binder based on rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals. ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied carbon and contains no added phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colours found in traditional glasswool insulation.

Knauf Insulation’s product range provides a cost-effective thermal and acoustic barrier for energy-efficient construction. The consistent quality, low dust, and clean-cutting resilient fibres make fabrication easy and installation fast.

Application

Knauf Insulation’s products can be used in timber and metal frame applications in residential and commercial buildings and are suitable for use in MDH applications.

Knauf Insulation’s product range offers a selection of sizes, thicknesses, densities and R-values. Knauf Insulation’s products are highly resilient, moisture resistant and non-combustible. Thanks to the ECOSE Technology products can be compression packed and they will recover to their nominated thickness on opening which greatly reduces transport, storage and handling. Knauf Insulation’s range provides high sound absorption qualities and can be used in acoustic systems as well as in fire-rated systems where glasswool is specified.

Knauf Insulation glasswool insulation is non-combustible in accordance with AS 1530.1. When used within the fabric of the building it can contribute to the building’s fire performance.

Benefits

Knauf Insulation glasswool products:
