What is Glasswool Panel?
Glasswool panel or also known as glass wool panel is a material made from synthetic fiberglass extracted from natural materials such as clay, stone, slag, etc. Because it is made from soil and rock, this glass wool has components including metal oxide, calcium silicate and Aluminum,...
Glass wool is often used for wall cladding in the house to help soundproof effectively. In addition, this product is also used in karaoke bars, bars, dance clubs, recording studios,...
Structural characteristics of Glasswool Panel
Glasswool Panel (glass wool) consists of 2 main components:
- Core: The core is the glass wool part made from small glass fibers.
- Outer part: The outer part is covered with a layer of corrugated iron whose main function is to shape and protect the cotton layer while helping to resist negative external impacts such as humidity or temperature.
In addition, this metal layer also has a protective electrostatic paint layer that increases resistance to external impacts.
Outstanding advantages of Glasswool Panel in construction
It is not by chance that glass wool panels are very popular in construction projects today. Below are the outstanding advantages of this special panel line.
- High durability
Glasswool Panel is made from inorganic materials so it is extremely durable. You can use this product for a long time without worrying about damage or wear. This is a suitable product for those who want to optimize costs during the construction process.
Good insulation, soundproofing and fire resistance
Similar to Rockwool panel , this glass wool core panel has excellent sound insulation, heat insulation and fire resistance. Glass wool fibers can withstand temperatures up to 120 degrees Celsius.
Thanks to this advantage, Glasswool panels are almost non-flammable and do not cause fires or produce toxic gases if a fire occurs. With such good fire resistance, sound insulation and heat insulation, this product is very popular in bars and nightclubs.
- Easy construction and installation
In addition to the advantages of physical properties, glass wool panels also impress users with their simple construction process, easy and quick installation process. You will not need to spend too much time to be able to join the panels together and install them in construction works.
- Replacement and disassembly are very simple
In addition to easy and quick construction and installation, glass wool panels are also very easy to replace and disassemble. Compared to other products, you have to spend a lot of time to dismantle, but with this glass wool panel, this looks different and simple.
Whenever you want to replace a few fiberglass panels or want to demolish the whole thing, you can do it quickly without spending too much manpower and effort.
- Surface is difficult to stain and mold resistant
Because the glass wool panel has a metallic coating with electrostatic paint and a flat surface structure, it is extremely easy to maintain and clean. With such an outer coating, this product is also very difficult to get dirty and does not get moldy.
- High aesthetics
When it comes to glasswool panels, we cannot help but mention its aesthetics. This is a product line that can bring extremely high aesthetics. With the outer layer painted with electrostatic paint, you can choose the color that best suits your project.
Notes when constructing and preserving Glasswool panels
To use Glasswool glass wool panels effectively, you need to note the following during construction and product preservation.
During construction
To construct Glasswool glass wool panels with the highest thermal insulation efficiency, you need to carefully read the information on how to use and issues surrounding the construction to ensure safety.
The reason is because fiberglass has a lot of small dust that can fly into the air and cause itching. Therefore, during use, remember to use protective gear such as glasses, gloves, masks, and protective clothing to avoid getting cotton fibers on your body.
Besides, you absolutely must not damage or hit the fiberglass strongly, causing dust to spread into the air, causing adverse effects on the respiratory tract and skin diseases.
When the construction is finished, you should also dispose of the fiberglass properly, do not throw it into the environment as it will adversely affect the health of others as well as the surrounding environment.
When storing
During the process of preserving glass wool panels, you also need to pay attention to the following:
- Glass wool panels should be stored in a cool, spacious place.
- Avoid placing glass wool panels in places that are flammable or explosive such as gasoline, fire, or electricity.
- When storing, use plastic or wooden pallets to place the panels on and line them with foam or paper to prevent scratches and fading.
- When loading glass wool panels onto trucks or containers, you should apply the following measures such as placing the required quantity (usually 20 panels per truck), lifting the goods with a forklift to avoid bending the product, and carefully closing the door before the truck rolls and ensuring that the product does not vibrate.
