    Thermal insulation materials like fiberglass, mineral wool, cellulose, polyurethane foam, and polystyrene are used to maintain comfortable temperatures inside buildings. Insulation slows the flow of heat and protects buildings from thermal impacts and moisture damage, allowing for energy conservation and cost savings. Common insulation materials include fiberglass, made from glass powder and shards; cellulose, a recycled material that is also fire resistant; and mineral wool and polystyrene foam which have various insulating properties.

    THERMAL INSULATION

    WHAT IS THERMAL INSULATION?


    • Insulation is defined as a material or
    combination of materials which retard the
    flow of heat.
    • The material can be adopted to any size,
    shape or surface.
    • A variety of finishes are used to protect the
    insulation from mechanical and environmental
    damage, and to enhance appearance.
    PURPOSE AND REQUIREMENT OF
    THERMAL INSULATION
    • The thermal insulation in building is to maintain a
    comfortable temperature in building.
    • The thermal insulation is required to protect the
    constructional elements against the thermal impact
    and moisture related damage.
    • The main purpose of thermal insulation in winter is
    energy conservation leading to decrease in heating
    damage.
    • It prevent summertime overheating of building.
    ADVANTAGES OF THERMAL
    INSULATION
    • Thermal insulation keeps the rooms cool in summer
    and warm in winter, So it result in comfortable living
    and working condition.
    • Due to thermal insulation demand , heating in
    winter and refrigeration in summer is considerably
    reduce. This result in lot fuel saving and
    maintenance cost.
    • The use of thermal insulation material inside a room
    prevents the moisture deposition on interior walls
    ceiling, etc
    MATERIALS
    • FIBERGLASS
    • MINERAL WOOL
    • CELLULOSE
    • POLYURETHANE FOAM
    • POLYSTRENE
    FIBERGLASS
    • It is a most common insulation used in
    modern time.
    • It is able to minimize heat transfer.
    • It is made out of finely woven silicon, glass
    powder and tiny shards of glass.
    CELLULOSE
    • Cellulose insulation is one of the most eco-friendly
    form of insulation.
    • Cellulose is made from recycled cardboard, paper,
    and other similar material comes in loose foam.
    • Cellulose is also most fire resistance forms of
    insulation.
    • It is use to reduce building heat loss and gain , noise
    trance mission.
    APPLICATION OF CELLULOSE
    • It is install on walls, ceiling and flooring.
    • For installation blowing equipment is
    required.
    • For this 3 inch diameter hose pipe is use.
    • Cellulose spread in cavity made by studs in
    walls.
    MINERAL WOOL
    • It is one type of fiber glass which is manufacture
    from recycled glass.
    • It is also known as glass wool.
    • It may refer to rock wool which is a type of insulation
    made from basalt.
    • Finally it may refer to slag wool which is produce
    from the slag from steel mills.
    • It can be purchased in bats or as a loose material.
    POLYSTYRENE
    • It is also known as Styrofoam.
    • It is water proof thermoplastic foam which is
    excellent sound and temperature insulation material.
    • It comes in 2 types: Expanded and Extruded.
    • This two types are differing in performance and cost.
    • It is insulation has a unequally smooth surface which
    no other type of insulation possesses.
    • Usually the foam is created or cut into blocks , ideal
    foam wall insulation.
    POLYURETHANEFORM
    • It is most excellent form of insulation.
    • Nowadays, it is used non-chlorofluorocarbon
    gas for use as a blowing agent.
    • This helps to decrease the amount of damage
    to the ozone layer.
    • The material contains low conductivity gas in
    its sells.
    • Polyurethane insulation is available as a liquid
    sprayed form and rigid foam board.
    APPLICATION OF POLYURETHANE
    FOAM
    • It is directly fixed on surfaces like brick blocks,
    concrete, etc.
    • It is also use in unfinished masonry.
    • Cut the polyurethane foam in the require size.
    • Then cover the back of foam with “foam
    construction adhesive”.
    • Press the adhesive side of the sheet against
    masonry surface, seal the joints between the
    sheets with expanding foam.
