  2. Wool insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wool_insulation

    Wool is a highly effective insulating material which performs better than its rated R value because it can absorb and release moisture. [3] Mongolian nomads used [when?] felted and woven sheep wool pads as an insulating layer on the walls and floors of their dwellings, called ger or yurts. The use of wool for insulation is starting to rise in ...

  3. Mineral wool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_wool

    Mineral wool is also known as mineral cotton, mineral fiber, man-made mineral fiber (MMMF), and man-made vitreous fiber (MMVF). Specific mineral wool products are stone wool and slag wool. Europe [who?] also includes glass wool which, together with ceramic fiber, are entirely artificial fibers that can be made into different shapes and are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    Sheep's wool insulation is a very efficient thermal insulator with a similar performance to fiberglass, approximately R13-R16 for a 4-inch-thick layer. [22] Sheep's wool has no reduction in performance even when condensation is present, but its fire retarding treatment can deteriorate through repeated moisture. [23]

  6. 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. Glass wool is produced in rolls or in slabs, with different ...

  7. 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.
