Whether your project is new construction or retrofitting, AFT Insulation has the product to fit your needs. In addition to thermal performance, AFT insulation products offer a variety of other features and benefits including:

The R-value of an insulation material is a ratio of its effective thermal resistance (R) to its thickness. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. R-values are based on laboratory tests and may vary by insulation type and thickness, as well as the presence of other materials such as drywall, siding, and windows.

AFT Insulation: Innovative Solutions for Modern Construction Needs

While the primary mode of heat loss across an uninsulated air space is convection, insulating materials reduce the losses caused by all three modes of transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. The primary contribution to the R-value of a porous insulator such as cellulose and glass wool is the retardation of natural convection, with the additional benefit of minimizing radiative transfer through multiple surfaces that interrupt the passage of visible light.

Cellulose insulation is manufactured from recycled paper, primarily newsprint, and contains up to 85% post-industrial recycled content. It is produced through a process that reduces the paper to small pieces and then fiberizes it, creating a product that packs tightly into building cavities and has excellent thermal and sound properties.

ROCKWOOL AFB can be used in a wide range of wood and steel stud wall assemblies and is a key component of several UL and Intertek listed fire rated walls. A collection of UL tested wall assemblies with hourly ratings using AFB can be found on our UL Product iQ page.
