Thermal and Acoustic Insulation Solutions for HVAC and Construction Projects

HVAC and building insulation has to satisfy two requirements at once: thermal performance to control energy loss, and acoustic damping to keep duct and plant noise from becoming a building-wide complaint. Glass wool is the standard material for both, but grade and installation still matter.

Duct and pipe insulation

Glass Wool covers duct wrap, pipe lagging and plant-room insulation across the -195°C to +250°C range standard grades handle, cutting both heat loss and transmitted noise from air handling equipment.

Sealing duct joints and penetrations

Foam Rubber Tape seals duct joints, panel penetrations and cable entries against draughts and noise leakage, compressing to fit the inevitable small gaps in field-fitted ductwork.

Construction and civil applications

Non-Woven Geotextile Felt handles drainage, separation and reinforcement in civil construction works around a building site, distinct from the insulation role glass wool plays inside the building envelope.

Frequently asked questions

Does glass wool insulation also reduce duct noise, or only heat loss? Both — its fibrous structure absorbs airborne sound as effectively as it resists heat transfer, which is why it is specified for acoustic plant-room lining as well as thermal duct wrap.

What causes insulation to underperform after installation? Compression and gaps at joints are the most common causes — insulation that looks installed can still leak heat and sound through poorly sealed seams.
