AFICO Glasswool Board Unfaced

AFICO Glasswool Board Unfaced is a semi-rigid and rigid glass fiber insulation board manufactured from fine, stable, and uniformly textured inorganic glass fibers bonded together with a non-water-soluble, fire-retardant, thermosetting, and heat-resistant resin. Designed without any facing layer, it provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation where a vapor barrier is not required or where the board will be covered by another finishing system. Its board form offers good rigidity, easy cutting, clean installation, and reliable performance for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial applications.

Applications

  • Interior Walls and Partitions: Provides thermal and acoustic insulation for internal wall systems and partition assemblies.
  • Cavity Wall Construction: Suitable for cavity wall insulation, helping reduce heat transfer and improve building energy efficiency.
  • Floors and Precast Structures: Can be used in floor systems and precast concrete applications where board-like insulation properties are required.
  • Prefabricated Houses: Ideal for prefabricated building systems requiring clean, easy-to-install thermal and acoustic insulation.
  • Exterior of Ductwork: Suitable for insulating the outside of ductwork and mechanical systems where abuse resistance and a flat board appearance are desired.
  • Mechanical and Air Handling Equipment: Can be applied to equipment, vessels, tanks, and mechanical installations requiring thermal insulation and acoustic control.
  • Irregular Surfaces: Semi-rigid boards can be used over irregularly shaped surfaces where flexible but board-like insulation is required.
