What are the benefits and applications of glass fabric insulation mattresses?

Made from mineral wool and a coated glass fabric, the insulation mattresses manufactured by our company are resistant to high temperatures. They can withstand temperatures of up to 600°C, and are available in several ranges. They can be installed on singular points, which are joints between 2 pipes – such as taps and valves – that are difficult to insulate because of :

  • their sensitivity ;
  • their need for maintenance.

We have solved these two problems by designing insulation solutions that are flexible, waterproof and resistant to temperature. Perfectly adapted to these singular points, they solve a number of current problems that affect many sectors of activity:

  • reducing energy use ;
  • reducing greenhouse gas emissions ;
  • staff safety;
  • optimisation of production costs and maintenance operations.

So our glass fabric insulation mattresses are suitable for a number of applications, and offer many advantages. Find out more on our blog!

Insulation solutions adapted to different sectors of activity

The composition and characteristics of our glass fabric mattresses are particularly adapted to industrial needs. In particular, they can be used on :

  • heat networks
  • heat exchangers
  • multi-way valves.

They are also suitable for tertiary and residential applications in buildings. For example, on valves in boiler houses.
Their flexibility, fire rating, waterproofing and temperature resistance make them effective insulation solutions for single points and complex equipment exposed to medium and high temperatures.
Available in several ranges and customisable with your company branding, they can be adapted to your thermal and environmental needs.

Mattresses that reduce heat loss and protect employees

Glass fabric insulation mattresses are excellent tools for reducing your carbon footprint. Today, all companies in the industrial sector are concerned by the reduction of CO2 emissions and energy use. Limiting heat loss has become a priority, allowing you to :

  • to make savings (the financial costs of this heat loss, which is frequent, are high);
  • to ensure the safety of employees who must work on special points and equipment.

Insulation mattresses are therefore the only solution for :

  • conserve energy and limit heat loss ;
  • prevent condensation and protect equipment from freezing;
  • make it easier for employees to work on single points that need to be accessible, without danger or risk of burns

Also, the service life of these insulation solutions is between 5 and 10 years. It depends on the temperature to which they are exposed. But according to an independent study by the EIIF (European Industrial Insulation Foundation), the return on investment is less than 1 – 2 years. It has also been shown that insulation of all surfaces would reduce heat loss in industry by around 66%.

Easy to assemble and disassemble products

Insulation mattresses are manufactured to be perfectly adapted to the equipment for which they are used, in industry, commercial or residential buildings. They withstand difficult, corrosive environments and stay waterproof. Their composition of mineral wool and coated glass fabric ensures :

  • – their resistance to high temperatures ;
  • – their flexibility, making them easy to assemble and dismantle for maintenance work.

It also provides more comfort for maintenance personnel, because it avoids :

  • – burns caused by contact with the surfaces ;
  • – high temperatures caused by radiation from hot surfaces.

These mattresses improve the technical insulation of single points and industrial equipment by limiting heat loss, and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To find out more, don’t hesitate to contact us!
