  2. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    A small quantity of polyolefin is melted as an adhesive to bind the product together (and is preferable to formaldehyde adhesives). Installation is similar to fiberglass, without the need for a respirator but requiring some additional time to cut the material. Cotton insulation costs about 10-20% more than fiberglass insulation.

  3. Foam glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_glass

    Expanded glass is mostly used as a insulation material, e.g. in machine room noise reduction and highway sound absorption barrier. Recently, it has become available in monolithic dimensions of 2.8 x 1.2m. [citation needed] Foam glass insulation aggregate (foam glass gravel) is used in a similar way as porous clay aggregate as a load-bearing ...

  5. Exterior insulation finishing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_insulation...

    Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. EIFS has been in use since the 1960s in North America and was first used on masonry buildings.

  6. Closed-cell PVC foamboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-cell_PVC_foamboard

    Closed-cell PVC foamboard is mainly used for industrial and manufacturing purposes. The material is primarily used in the manufacturing of signs and displays which are used for promotion ads, as well as road signs. [6] Its appealing material properties have made it popular among the makers of scale models and theatrical props. Builders who ...

  7. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

    The third component in SIPs is the spline or connector piece between SIPs. Dimensional lumber is commonly used but creates thermal bridging and lowers insulation values. To maintain higher insulation values through the spline, manufacturers use Insulated Lumber, Composite Splines, Mechanical Locks, Overlapping OSB Panels, or other creative methods.

  8. Vacuum insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_panel

    A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction, refrigeration units, and insulated shipping containers to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials.

  9. Scoring (industrial process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoring_(industrial_process)

    Scoring is used in place of cutting through the material all the way because you can obtain relatively the same results with less time and labor. However, when breaking along the score line the material may deviate from the set guideline, the back side of the break line often has a jagged edge to it from the shear fracture, and scoring offers ...
