  2. Glass wool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_wool

    Glass wool batt insulation. Glass wool is an insulating material made from glass fiber arranged using a binder into a texture similar to wool.The process traps many small pockets of air between the glass, and these small air pockets result in high thermal insulation properties.

  4. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    Insulation is a barrier material to resist/reduce substance (water, vapor, etc. ) /energy (sound, heat, electric, etc.) to transfer from one side to another. Heat/ Thermal Insulation is a barrier material to resist / block / reflect the heat energy (either one or more of the Conduction, Convection or Radiation) to transfer from one side to another.

  5. Cellulose insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_insulation

    While in 1976 there were roughly 100 cellulose insulation firms with 125 plants in the US, by 1978 there were more than 350 firms with more than 500 plants 1. Cellulose insulation was produced locally by small manufacturers who purchased ready-to-operate machines and offered a cheap and easy low-tech production process.

  6. Cladding (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladding_(construction)

    In construction, cladding is used to provide a degree of thermal insulation and weather resistance, and to improve the appearance of buildings. [1] Cladding can be made of any of a wide range of materials including wood, metal, brick, vinyl , and composite materials that can include aluminium, wood, blends of cement and recycled polystyrene ...

  7. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    Installed faced fiberglass batt insulation with its R-value visible (R-21) [1]. The R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3]

  8. List of insulation materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_insulation_materials

    This is a list of insulation materials used around the world. Typical R-values are given for various materials and structures as approximations based on the average of available figures and are sorted by lowest value. R-value at 1 m gives R-values normalised to a 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) thickness and sorts by median value of the range.

  9. Building material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_material

    Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacturing of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work.
