๐ถ 1. GLASS WOOL 1.2m x 10m x 50mm โ FSK / 16
Description:
This is a 50mm thick glass wool roll with dimensions 1.2 meters wide and 10 meters long (12 mยฒ per roll), faced with FSK (Foil-Scrim-Kraft) facing rated at 16 kg/mยณ density. The FSK layer acts as a vapor barrier and radiant heat reflector.
Applications:
- Thermal insulation in HVAC ducting systems
- Sound insulation in walls and ceilings
- Energy-efficient insulation for commercial buildings and malls
- Fire-safe insulation in industrial settings
Benefits:
- Class A1 fire rating (non-combustible)
- Reduces thermal bridging and energy loss
- Controls moisture buildup with FSK facing
- Easy to cut, shape, and install

๐ถ 2. GLASS WOOL 1.2m x 10m x 50mm โ Unfaced
Description:
This is the same high-quality glass wool blanket as above but without any external facing. It comes in 50mm thickness, 1.2m width, and 10m length, offering a lightweight and flexible insulation solution.
Applications:
- Partition walls, ceiling cavities, and under-roof applications
- Excellent for acoustic insulation in studios, offices, and residential buildings
- Ideal for areas where no moisture barrier is required
Features:
- Cost-effective thermal and acoustic insulation
- Non-combustible and resistant to microbial growth
- Easy installation with metal studs or wire mesh

๐ถ 3.GLASS WOOL 1.2m x 10m x 50mm โ FSK / 24
Description:
A denser variation of glass wool with 24 kg/mยณ density, this product combines high thermal performance with FSK facing for added moisture and fire resistance. Comes in standard 1.2m width x 10m length x 50mm thickness.
Applications:
- Insulation in cold rooms and cleanrooms
- HVAC ducts in humid or coastal regions
- Acoustic barrier in auditoriums and hospitals
- Ideal where superior moisture control is required
Advantages:
- Higher density = greater thermal resistance (R-value)
- FSK facing enhances fire safety and radiant control
- Easy to staple, tape, or mechanically fasten


๐ถ 4. ROCK WOOL 1″ x 5000mm โ 5KMS โ FSK
Description:
This is a 1-inch thick rock wool roll, 5 meters in length, faced with FSK aluminum foil, and supplied as 5 rolls per bundle (5KMS). Rock wool is made from natural basalt rock fibers, offering exceptional thermal and fire resistance.
Applications:
- Industrial piping insulation
- Fire barriers in commercial walls and ducts
- Under-deck insulation for steel and concrete roofs
- Excellent in hot water pipe lagging and mechanical systems
Key Benefits:
- Class A1 fire rating โ withstands >1000ยฐC
- Superior thermal conductivity (~0.035 W/mยทK)
- Repels water but remains vapor permeable
- FSK facing adds radiant and moisture control

๐ถ 5. ROCK WOOL 1″ x 5000mm โ 5KMS โ WGS Mesh
Description:
This rock wool variant includes woven galvanized steel (WGS) mesh reinforcement for structural integrity. Also 1 inch thick and 5 meters long per roll, this is ideal for high-temperature and high-vibration environments.
Applications:
- Boiler insulation
- Turbine exhausts, ductwork, and chimney linings
- Thermal insulation in power plants and refineries
- Acoustic dampening in generator rooms
Advantages:
- Mesh reinforcement allows easy cladding on round and irregular surfaces
- Withstands high mechanical stresses
- Ideal for outdoor installations when used with cladding
- Long service life in harsh environments
