Benefits of Insulation
- TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Insulation is an essential building component as it offers excellent thermal insulation
property, enhancing the quality of life, fitness for purpose and performance of
buildings in which it is installed. Insulation incorporated into walls, ceilings
and roofs makes a significant contribution to a building’s long term energy performance
by resisting heat flow.
Heat is a form of energy, it always seeks a cooler area flowing outward in winter
and inward in summer. All building materials used in a wall, ceiling and roof increase
the thermal resistance to a certain extent; however glass mineral wool is the most
efficient at adding thermal resistance because of their low thermal conductivity.
Heat flow through a building element can occur through conduction, convection or
radiation. By reducing heat flow, a properly insulated building increases overall
occupant comfort while maintaining lower energy costs.
BROWNIE is fast to install and performs for the life of a building with no need
for ongoing maintenance.
Tested and complies with ASTM C518 at 15°C mean temperature.
