This insulation can have several functions, such as fire protection, thermal insulation and soundproofing.
Advantages (depending on insulation choice)
- Guaranteed fire protection
- Very good thermal properties
- Excellent soundproofing properties
- Available for even the smallest cavities
- Resistant to mould infestation
- High density, better airtightness
- Hygroscopic and humidity control
