Insulators – these are materials which restrict the flow of heat through them Humidity control – the control of moisture in the air Radiation – heating method in which heat passes in direct rays from the source Conduction – heating method in which heat is transferred throughout the whole solid object Convection – heating method in which heat is transferred through liquids and gases.

Insulation is an advanced building material used to prevent heat transfer.

Controlling the temperature inside the house Fire proofing your house Keeping the maintenance cost low Adding the house value.

Fiberglass Mineral Wool Cellulose Loose Fill Rigid Foam Concrete blocks Structural Insulated Panels

The most common type of insulation found in average houses Very economical type of insulation Easy to install Vulnerable to moisture Dust from fiberglass can cause lung diseases Cannot seal wall and ceiling spaces very tightly.

Similar to fiberglass Less flammable than fiberglass Better acoustic insulation than fiberglass Resistant to moisture Even more easier to install than fiber glass Its recycled which means its environmentally friendly Dust from Mineral wool can cause lung diseases Premium price.

Is made from recycled paper It is one of the cheapest type of insulation Mostly used in older houses Creates a lot of dust upon installation Easily absorbs moisture Reduced insulation over time.
