Twiga Insul – Thermal Insulation
Twiga lnsul is a lightweight, compressible insulation material, consisting of fine, long, inorganic glass fibers bonded together by a high temperature binder. The product is light gold in colour and its superior tensile strength, handleability and resilience offer significant advantages during transport and installation. These unique characteristics of glass wool, combined with its fire safe properties, make it especially suitable for a wide variety of thermal and acoustic insulation applications, ranging from duct and metal roof insulation for applications in solar collectors and generator acoustic enclosures.
Twiga lnsul is available in rolls, slabs and boards – in various densities and thicknesses and with a wide range of factory applied facings.
The product is recommended for use in both hot and cold applications ranging in temperature from minus 195° to plus 450°C. Factory applied facings include reinforced aluminium foil, fiberglass tissue, black glass tissue and a wide range of imported premium facings, which are widely used in metal building applications.

Twiga Insul for Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
Thermal Insulation Performance
Cooling costs in a building insulated throughout with glass wool can be reduced significantly. The use of glass wool for the thermal insulation of external walls and ceilings has been shown to reduce energy consumption by 20% to 30%.
Thermal Conductivity in W/MK
| Insulation thickness (mm) | Range of R-value (Thickness/Conductivity) * in SI and PI unit [ R-SI in m2.K/W and R-PI in sq.ft.F.Hr./Btu] |
Roof U-value range in SI and PI unit [U-SI in W/m2.K and U-PI in Btu/sq.ft.F.Hr] | Insulation efficiency in percentage [{U(uninsulated)-U(insulated)}/U(uninsulated) x 100] |
| 50 | 1.16 <= R-SI <= 1.67 6.61 <= R-PI <= 9.47 |
