Repurposing waste to create intelligent environments.
Why glass mineral wool?
Glass mineral wool isn’t just the ideal insulation choice for its environmental advantages, but for its many other properties too. Glass is a poor conductor of heat, and so is classed as an insulator; it’s also relatively easy to spin into fibres, which then trap another excellent insulator – air – to give the glass mineral wool outstanding thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
Superglass insulation is made from glass mineral wool material that contains no ozone-depleting or greenhouse gases giving it a Global Warming Potential of less than 5 (methane, for example, has a GWP as high as 56). Better still, all our glass wool insulation is made from up to 84% recycled materials, reducing waste and saving valuable resources. In fact, in 2023 we recycled around 42,000 tonnes of waste glass to make Superglass products. We also grade the materials so we can reduce the amount of energy used in production. So, Superglass insulation is already making a positive environmental contribution, even before it goes through our exceptionally advanced manufacturing process.
