Glass Fibre Insulation
High-Performance Fibreglass Insulation Products
Glass fibre is one of the most popular and effective materials used for insulation. That's why Vitcas offers two high-quality fibreglass insulation products: Glass Needled Felt Mat and Aluminium-Coated Flue Chimney Wrap.
Needled Felt Mat - Glass Wool Insulation
VITCAS Glass Needled Felt Mat is highly flexible, making it easy to handle and cut. It is safe for use in industrial applications without concern for the chemicals it may come into contact with. Needled felt mat offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, and is suitable for use in environments with temperatures up to 550°C. Its primary uses include thermal and acoustic insulation in machinery, piping, and motor vehicles. This type of glass wool blanket is commonly used for ductwork and process pipe insulation in HVAC and industrial systems.
Aluminium-Coated Flue Chimney Wrap
Flue Chimney Wrap Insulation Blanket is coated in aluminium, which makes it easier to handle and cut. It features a vapour barrier to prevent moisture ingress and is designed for chimney and flue pipe insulation where non-combustible materials are required. The aluminium-coated wrap extends the lifespan of chimney flues by reducing tar deposits and condensation, improving airflow, and maintaining optimal temperatures through effective thermal insulation. It is especially suitable for use in flue gas systems, solid fuel appliances, and pellet burners. To prevent fibreglass insulation from absorbing moisture from indoor environments, a vapour barrier (aluminium coating) must always be used.
Safe Application of Glass Mineral Wool Insulation
When working with glass fibre, it is strongly recommended to wear gloves during installation. Vitcas insulation is non-toxic, making it safe to use alongside other chemicals. It is also classified as A1 non-combustible in accordance with EN 13501-1, making it suitable for fire-rated applications.
