Kingspan Kooltherm is a selection of goods that are of premium performance of strong phenolic insulation boards made for walls, roofs, as well as floors. Rigid phenolic insulation is extraordinarily beneficial as it is the most thermally efficient insulation that is commonly available.
The board uses as slender as can be insulation boards to create the required insulation values. It is also as fire resistant as mineral wool which makes it phenomenally safe. Its closed chamber build resists both moisture and water vapour ingress - problems which can be associated with open cell materials such as mineral fibre and which can result in reduced thermal performance. Unlike mineral fibre, it is unaffected by air movement which will prevent it from experiencing problems which will reduce its thermal performance. It is extraordinarily safe and easy to apply - masks are not required, as Kingspan Insulation goods don’t produce loose dust or irritable fibres. This leaves, like all Kingspan products , the Kingspan Kooltherm range is completely CFC/HCFC free and has Zero Ozone Depletion Potential.
An additional great form of insulation is polystyrene insulation which is available in both extruded and expanded polystyrene. Extruded polystyrene is used to insulate homes as it is much more efficient than expanded polystyrene. Expanded polystyrene is typically used for packaging materials, and to insulate different appliances. Polystyrene insulation is what the Kooltherm range of insulation products are made of. These goods are ideal, perfect for interior or exterior wall insulation as well as roof and floor insulation, and finally, basement insulation.
Cellulose insulation is a improved type of insulation that is the most environmentally friendly product for sale on the market. Since insulation reduces the amount of energy that is necessary to heat or cool a office, it is environmentally friendly. Due to the fact cellulose is made from recycled card and other paper sources which might alternatively be left in landfills and release greenhouse gases while it decomposes, it is thus understood to be the “greenest” material. If our world was to change every piece of paper that is being put into landfills into cellulose insulation, eight million tons of carbon dioxide emissions would be not given off. To picture this, imagine eradicationing every car in New Mexico and Nevada off the road. That is equal to 8 million tons of carbon dioxide. Fibreglass uses ten times the amount of energy that cellulose does, and foam insulation uses 64 the amount of effort. Cellulose insulation is installed by blowing it into the wall cavity and then making it smooth. The only non-benefit of cellulose insulation is that it is necessary to hire a expert so as not to hurt yourself.
Kingspan Kooltherm materials are considered for insulation due to their low price as well as effectiveness. However, they are simply average when it comes to environmentally friendliness. The main powerhouse when it comes to being environmentally friendly is cellulose insulation. It takes our paper waste, and creates an item to heat our homes. However, Kingspan Kooltherm can be used for roof, wall, ceiling, and floor insulation, whereas cellulose can only be used for wall and floor insulation. Therefore the application of insulation you use fluctuates on your needs.
