2. Ceramic foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_foam

   Close-cell ceramic foam serves as a good insulation material for walls and roofs. The large number of closed cells allow the material to be resistant to corrosion and absorb sound internally and externally. Buildings in China have utilized ceramic foam as a thermal insulation material. [6]

3. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   This at face value appears to be comparable to an R-13 batt of fiberglass, but because in a standard stick frame house there is significantly more wall containing low R value wood that acts as a cold bridge, the thermal performance of the R-13.8 SIP wall will be considerably better.

4. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

   A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.

5. External wall insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_wall_insulation

   External wall insulation systems generally comprise firstly an insulation layer (an element which helps to achieve the requisite thermal performance); and secondly,a protected weatherproof finish (usually a render, although brick slips, [3] tiles, and decorative boards can also be used). Insulating render can also be an advantage in certain ...

6. 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.

7. Exterior insulation finishing system - Wikipedia

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

   In the United States, the International Building Code and ASTM International define Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) as a non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding system that consists of an insulation board attached either adhesively, mechanically, or both, to the substrate; an integrally reinforced base coat; and a textured protective finish coat.
