Stone wool insulation or glass wool insulation?

The advantage of stone wool over glass wool is its resistance to high temperatures, making this type of insulation the safest in term of fire prevention.

But did you know that there a stone wool that combines this fire resistance with lightweight? Click here to learn more.

How is ULTIMATE U-Sea protect made?

The patented process for manufacturing ULTIMATE^TM is similar to that used for glass wool. However, the challenge for our development team was to develop a product capable of operating at much higher temperatures. This was achieved following a breakthrough involving a new patented glass composition and extensive conversion of the basic glass wool manufacturing process. Click here to learn more.
