What is fibreglass blanket?

Fibreglass blanket, also known as glass wool blanket, is a flexible insulation product made from fine glass fibres. It offers excellent thermal and acoustic properties, making it an ideal choice for various commercial and industrial applications where energy efficiency and sound control are paramount.

Types of fibreglass blanket we offer:

1. Standard fibreglass blanket: For general thermal and acoustic insulation applications.
2. Foil-faced fibreglass blanket: Laminated with aluminium foil for enhanced moisture resistance and radiant heat reflection.

Key features and benefits of fibreglass blanket

Our fibreglass blanket provides numerous advantages for demanding industrial and commercial applications:

1. Excellent thermal insulation: Effectively reduces heat transfer, improving energy efficiency in buildings and industrial processes.
2. Superior sound absorption: Helps control noise levels in various environments.
3. Lightweight: Easy to handle and install, reducing labour costs and structural load.
4. Fire resistance: Naturally non-combustible, contributing to overall fire safety.
5. Moisture resistance: Repels water and resists moisture absorption when properly installed.
6. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications and easily conforms to irregular surfaces.
7. Cost-effective: Offers high insulation value at a competitive price point.
8. Durability: Maintains its insulation properties over time, providing long-term performance.

Installation guidelines

While fibreglass blanket is known for its ease of installation, follow these tips for optimal performance:

1. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, long-sleeved clothing, and eye protection.
2. Measure the area carefully and cut the blanket to size, allowing for a snug fit.
3. For wall or ceiling applications, use appropriate fasteners to secure the blanket in place.
4. When insulating pipes or equipment, wrap the blanket securely and overlap seams.
5. For foil-faced blankets, ensure proper overlap and sealing of joints to maintain vapour barrier integrity.
6. In multi-layer applications, stagger the joints for maximum insulation effectiveness.
7. Avoid compressing the blanket, as this reduces its insulation value.

Sustainability and environmental impact

Choosing fibreglass blanket contributes to sustainable building and industrial practices:

• Contains recycled glass content
• Helps reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions
• Long lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements
• Recyclable at the end of its life cycle
• Complies with relevant Australian environmental standards
