Wool as an Insulator

Wool is a natural fiber renowned for its excellent insulating properties. It provides thermal resistance, with an R-value (measure of thermal resistance) typically ranging from 3.0 to 4.0 per inch. The crimped nature of wool fibers creates air pockets, which hinder convection and enhance insulation.

Parameters of Wool Insulation:

• Density: Approximately 1.30 to 1.50 lbs/ft³
• Moisture Resistance: Can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet
• Thermal Conductivity: 0.038 W/m·K

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is among the most commonly used insulators in residential and commercial buildings. Manufactured from fine glass fibers, it is an effective insulator with an R-value typically between 2.2 and 2.7 per inch.

Parameters of Fiberglass Insulation:

• Density: Ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 lbs/ft³ depending on the type
• Fire Resistance: Non-combustible material
• Thermal Conductivity: 0.035 W/m·K

Foam Insulation

Foam insulation is available in various forms, including spray foam and rigid foam boards. It provides superior insulation with an R-value ranging from 3.5 to 6.5 per inch, depending on the type.

Parameters of Foam Insulation:

• Density: Typically 2 to 3 lbs/ft³ for closed-cell foam
• Water Resistance: Closed-cell foam is highly resistant to water
• Thermal Conductivity: 0.020 - 0.030 W/m·K

Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products and treated with fire retardants. It is an environmentally friendly option offering an R-value between 3.2 and 3.8 per inch.

Parameters of Cellulose Insulation:

• Density: Typically 1.3 lbs/ft³
• Settling: Less than 20% over time
• Thermal Conductivity: 0.040 W/m·K
