What is Aerolite?
Aerolite is made from pure spun glass, bonded
with an inert thermo-setting resin to form a strong, resilient,
easy-to-handle blanket. Aerolite forms a highly efficient thermal barrier
which excludes solar heat gain in summer and retains heat generated within a
building in winter. It reduces heat flow by up to 87% and can lower the
temperature in summer by up to 5°C. What's more, Aerolite's insulation
efficiency is unaffected by its orientation to, or the direction of, heat
flow. Aerolite is the only ceiling insulation in South Africa that does not
burn - as it is made from fibreglass! This means it is
the safest insulation you can buy.
What is the R-Value?
The R-Value is
the Thermal Resistance. The higher this value the more efficient the
insulation is. The various thicknesses are 50 mm (R-Value =1.25), 75mm
(R-Value = 1.88), 100mm (R-Value = 2.50) and 135mm (R-Value = 3.38).
