- Mineral Wool is often used by insulators needing various R-values for different applications, fire protection, sound dampening, resistance to mold and good sustainability.
- Blowing Wool is a loose fill that allows for increased yields while using less insulation, making a trusted solution for both residential and commercial projects.
