The first-ever rolls of mineral wool insulation to fully fill cavity walls in houses have been launched by leading independent manufacturer Superglass.
Superwall Roll 36, so named because of its lambda performance of 36 (0.036W/mK), is unique to the market - due to the width of its two production lines, Superglass claim to be the only UK manufacturer capable of producing it in three 455mm widths in one roll.
The pioneering product is expected to prove popular with merchants, contractors and specifiers for a myriad of reasons, not least its cost-effectiveness.
Contractors will be keen that it is exceptionally easy to fit and will reduce installation times as the roll is quicker to install than traditional rigid insulation. It is simply rolled out horizontally and cut to size when appropriate.
Specifiers will also be keen that it is BBA-approved and possesses excellent green credentials. Manufactured almost entirely (84%) from recycled glass bottles, it is CFC and HCFC free, has zero ODP and GWP, and is BRE Green Guide rated to A+.
