• ecoinsulation glasswool has been appraised by BRANZ as a thermal insulation material for framed or part-framed ceilings and roofs of domestic and commercial buildings
• The insulation is pre-cut to suit a wide range of thermal insulation requirements and framing set-outs
• Comes in a range of R-Values — see Product Schedule

• ecoinsulation glasswool must be stored under cover and in dry conditions
• Heavy objects must not be stacked on the packs. The packs must be stored in an orientation that avoids excessive compression of the product.

• Corrosion Resistance: No greater than sterile cotton
• Microbial Growth: Does not support microbial growth
• Fire Hazard Properties (AS/NZS 1530.3):
  • Ignitability: 0
  • Spread of flame: 0
  • Heat Evolved: 0
  • Smoke Developed: 0-1
• Combustibility (AS 1530.1): Non-combustible
