Core Considerations for Selecting and Applying Insulation Materials
Key Considerations for Selection and Application
Fire resistance ratings: For high-rise buildings and public structures (such as hospitals and schools), A-grade non-combustible materials (e.g., rock wool, glass wool) should be prioritized; for low-rise residential buildings and areas with low occupancy density, B1-grade flame-retardant materials (e.g., XPS boards, phenolic boards) can be selected as needed.
Insulation efficiency: In cold or extremely cold regions, prioritize materials with low thermal conductivity (such as rigid polyurethane foam or VIP panels) to minimize energy consumption; in temperate areas, consider cost-effective options like EPS boards or glass wool.
Environmental adaptability: For damp environments such as underground spaces or rooftops, materials with low water absorption rates (e.g., XPS boards, foam glass) should be selected; in high-temperature settings like industrial plants, materials that excel in heat resistance—such as rock wool or phenolic boards—should be prioritized.
Construction and Costs: For renovating existing homes or working with irregularly shaped structures, lightweight, easy-to-install materials like spray-applied polyurethane and VIP panels are ideal. In contrast, large-scale new construction projects can balance cost and performance by opting for EPS boards or rock-wool composite panels.
