Mass Insulation

Cellulose, fiberglass, and rock wool insulation are three common types of insulation materials used in construction to enhance energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper or plant fibers treated with fire-retardant chemicals, offering excellent thermal resistance and soundproofing properties. Fiberglass insulation consists of fine glass fibers spun into batts, rolls, or loose-fill forms, providing effective thermal insulation while being lightweight and cost-effective. Rock wool insulation, also known as mineral wool, is made from natural rock or industrial by-products melted and spun into fibers, offering superior fire resistance and sound absorption capabilities. Each type of insulation has its unique benefits, with cellulose being eco-friendly, fiberglass being versatile and affordable, and rock wool being highly durable and fire-resistant. Builders and homeowners can choose among these options based on factors such as cost, performance, and environmental considerations to achieve optimal insulation and energy efficiency in their buildings.
