Glass Wool
What is glass wool?
Glass wool is a highly versatile material used for both thermal and acoustic insulation in construction and industry.
Made by melting recycled glass and sand at high temperatures, glass wool is transformed into fibers that, thanks to their porous structure, trap air, reducing the transmission of heat and noise. Athena Industries' glass wool solutions are ideal for the thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings and facilities.
Key Features
Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
The excellent insulating properties of glass wool make it ideal for protecting buildings from both cold and heat.
Its fibrous structure creates an insulating layer that keeps the internal temperature stable, reducing energy consumption. Additionally, glass wool is particularly effective at absorbing noise, improving the acoustic comfort of spaces.
Fire Resistance
Glass wool is fire-resistant, meaning it does not contribute to the spread of fire.
This characteristic makes it a safe choice for insulating buildings and industrial facilities, protecting structures even in emergency situations. It is also moisture-resistant and does not absorb water, maintaining its insulating properties even in damp environments.
Applications
Glass wool is available in various forms, including panels, rolls, and flakes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
It is commonly used for the thermal and acoustic insulation of walls, roofs, floors, and pipes, as well as for chimney insulation. Glass wool flakes are ideal for injection into cavities, while rolls provide excellent adaptability to irregular surfaces.
