2. Flashing (weatherproofing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashing_(weatherproofing)

   In earlier days, birch bark was occasionally used as a flashing material. [7] Most flashing materials today are metal, plastic, rubber, or impregnated paper. [8]Metal flashing materials include lead, aluminium, copper, [1] stainless steel, zinc alloy, other architectural metals or a metal with a coating such as galvanized steel, lead-coated copper, anodized aluminium, terne-coated copper ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   A lightning protection installation on a watercraft comprises a lightning protector mounted on the top of a mast or superstructure, and a grounding conductor in contact with the water. Electrical conductors attach to the protector and run down to the conductor. For a vessel with a conducting (iron or steel) hull, the grounding conductor is the ...

   When found in the home, asbestos often resembles grayish-white corrugated cardboard coated with cloth or canvas, usually held in place around pipes and ducts with metal straps. Things that typically might contain asbestos: [33] Boiler and furnace insulation. Heating duct wrapping. Pipe insulation ("lagging"). Ducting and transite pipes within ...

5. Thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation

   Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (i.e., the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.

6. Exterior insulation finishing system - Wikipedia

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

   It uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation adhered to the substrate with fiberglass mesh embedded in a nominal 1 ⁄ 16 inch (1.6 mm) base coat which can receive additional layers of mesh for stronger impact resistance. Other types of insulation board can include polyisocyanurate.

7. Multi-layer insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-layer_insulation

   Multi-layer insulation (MLI) is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets and is often used on spacecraft and cryogenics. Also referred to as superinsulation, [ 1 ] MLI is one of the main items of the spacecraft thermal design , primarily intended to reduce heat loss by thermal radiation .
