Greenovations – Thermafiber – Mineral Wool Insulation

Everyone knows that proper insulation is essential to having a low energy bill and a sustainable home. The hard question is, how do you find the right insulation for you?

The two most important things when considering a sustainable insulation is the R-Value, or the value of the energy insulation properties of the insulation, and the sourcing.

Most insulation provides adequate R-Value for the application it is recommended for.

So the way many of these companies make a distinction is with their sourcing.

This is where Thermafiber really shines. It is available in both 70% and 90% pre-consumer or post-industrial recycled products.

Thermafiber also has excellent qualities when compared to other metrics typically considered when buying insulation. It has a high R-Value per inch so it will keep your space from losing heating and cooling very effectively.

It also has excellent sound attenuation properties as well. With regards to fire rating, Thermafiber scores a superior rating. It is also mold resistant.
