Knauf Metal Building Insulation
Description
Knauf Metal Building Insulation is a resilient, flexible
blanket insulation made from inorganic glass fibers bonded by a
thermosetting resin. The blanket is suitable for application of
facings and has sufficient tensile and bond strength for normal
handling by the laminator and contractor. The blanket may also be
used unfaced as additional insulation to fill voids in walls and
roofs of metal buildings.
Application
When Knauf Metal Building Insulation is faced with a suitable
vapor retarder, it can be installed in exterior walls and roof
surfaces of pre-engineered buildings. The product may be used
unfaced to fill voids in walls and roof cavities of pre-engineered
buildings.
Features
- Low thermal conductivity.
- Superior acoustical performance.
- Fire-resistant, non-corrosive, tough, and resilient.
Benefits
- Energy conservation.
- Better temperature control.
- Lower operating costs.
- Noise control.
- Withstands damage from normal handling and shop abuse.
- Condensation control.
- Light reflectivity.
