Safeguarding structures from outdoor heat infiltration, ensuring comfortable indoor environments.
On a typical sunny day in Malaysia, roof surface temperatures can soar to a scorching 70ºC. Without insulation, this intense heat can infiltrate buildings, causing discomfort and hindering productivity or leisure for occupants.
Insulation has been proven to be effective in both hot and cold climates, functioning akin to a thermal flask—retaining coolness within and repelling external heat. Through bulk materials like mineral wool, it shields and insulates various building sections, ensuring rooms stay cooler for extended durations, thereby curtailing the need for excessive cooling energy.
A study conducted by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UiTM) revealed that a mere installation of mineral wool insulation on a house’s ceiling could lead to a remarkable indoor temperature reduction of up to 5°C. This insulation fosters heightened indoor comfort, even without air conditioning.
The impact of mineral insulation extends to enhanced indoor comfort and a healthier lifestyle. Global research showcases that occupants residing in well-insulated homes experience reduced illness rates, subsequently yielding elevated comfort and productivity levels.
