Description

This book offers a comprehensive catalogue of insulating materials for use in construction. Notes on the individual types of insulating materials provide information on the raw materials they contain as well as their typical attributes, areas of application, and delivery forms. Tables with physical characteristic values and indications regarding health and environmental safety enable the reader to compare different insulating materials.

An overview of European regulations and norms pertaining to insulating materials, with notes on product labelling and certification, helps with the process of planning and publishing invitations to tender. Criteria are presented for selecting the appropriate insulating material for the job. In addition, a nuanced description of the environmental effects of insulating materials opens up an enormous optimisation potential for using them sustainably.
