The smartest way to use energy is not to use it at all. Of course, the biggest contribution we make to sustainability comes from our wide range of products themselves. Superglass insulation saves energy in use, helping buildings retain heat, creating more comfortable environments. In fact, research has shown that over its lifetime, glass mineral wool insulation typically saves up to 200* times the energy used in making and transporting it. Compared with other, more rigid types of insulation, Superglass glass mineral wool has the flexibility to snugly fit into every space heat can escape from, so its thermal performance reduces energy bills in every part of a building – ideal alongside heating systems that use renewable technologies, such as air and ground source heat pumps, which can only work efficiently in well-insulated buildings.

All Superglass products contain THINKTECH

THINKTECH is the way we describe our approach and it’s what makes Superglass different. It’s all about taking recycled glass and improved fibre technology and combining them with our advanced glass chemistry expertise to produce our best-performing insulation ever. Our latest generation products look better, smell better, feel better, compress further and recover faster – thanks to our new state of the art furnace and advanced processing equipment.

Perfect with renewable energy systems THINKTECH recognises that insulation is just part of the environmental equation too. Many homes are built with the latest ultra- efficient renewable energy technologies, but those expensive systems are of little value if the energy they produce simply escapes into the atmosphere. That’s where Superglass and THINKTECH come in, wrapping the building envelope to maximise energy efficiency and minimise carbon emissions and household bills.
