Innovative insulation
Why thermal insulation in buildings?
India with extreme climatic conditions
where difference between peak summer
temperature and cold winter temperature
is more than 20 degrees in many regions of
the country, providing comfortable indoor
climate is a necessity, rather than luxury.
In India most of the buildings are built
with brick walls with cement plastering or
Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) with
width varying between 125 mm-250 mm.
Roof is usually made of Reinforced Cement
Concrete with thickness varying from100
mm to 150 mm. While walls are built to
withstand the building and wind load,
roofing is finished with just water proofing.
Thus, thermal insulation is rarely considered
essential in traditional Indian buildings.
However, times are changing and with
that people’s tastes and preferences are also
evolving. People have started recognising
the benefits of thermal insulation and as a
result, insulation in buildings is assuming
tremendousimportance.Thermalinsulation
helps in energy conservation by reducing
heating and or cooling load on the building
envelope. Also by keeping temperature
under control, insulation helps in
enhancing human comfort and eventually
contributing to increased efficiency. Further
by controlling the extremes of the climate,
thermal insulation mitigates damages that
might be caused to the building.
Extreme caution should be exercised while
selecting materials for thermal insulation
as the requirements vary from building to
building and also from region to region
depending upon the weather conditions and
materials used in construction. Supreme
Industries’ INSU ranges of products
are meant to fulfil thermal insulation
requirements.
Supreme’s 'INSUshield' is a non-fibrous, fire
retardant (FR), closed cell, tri-dimensional
chemically cross linked polyethylene
foam and is an ideal environment friendly
insulation material, with a perfect solution
for all insulation needs for ducts, roofs,
pipes, vessels etc., and is a better alternative
to conventional glass wool insulation
material. The divergent advantages of
‘INSUshield’ are ease of installation, low
thermal conductivity and good moisture
and vapour resistance preventing microbial
growth and optimum condensation
protection.
Another product, ‘INSUflex’, a fire
retardant closed cell flexible elastomeric
tubing thermal insulation product, offers a
high water vapour transmission resistance
factor which ensures a low stable thermal
conductivity, thereby saving energy and
ensuring efficiency of the system for
ensulating split air-conditioner copper
tubing for addressing typical heat ingress
issue in PEB structures. The material
is particularly suitable for insulating
pipe works for condensation control. It
can be used on chilled water pipe lines,
refrigerated pipe-works, hot and cold
water services and on sheets or rolls in
air-conditioning ductworks. Insuflex is
available in combinations of various wall
thicknesses and diameters to suit G.T.,
copper and PVC pipes. Insuflex range is
resistant to corrosion, fungal and mildew
growth and is therefore suitable for clean
room applications. Insulation material with
low ‘K’ value equates to high energy saving
potential and thermal performance.
‘INSUreflector’, a radiant heat reflective
insulation material made of polyethylene
air bubble film (ABF) laminated with
aluminium foil on one or both sides is used
to block the radiant heat transfer. It is a low
e-reflective insulation material with a low
e-reflective insulation material with a low
mass to air ratio, which effectively blocks
the radiant heat transfer. The bright surface
of the aluminium foil, which encases the FR
polyethylene air bubble material, reflects 96
per cent to 99 per cent infra-red radiation
received by the surface of the heated slated
roof.
A methodical, systematic and stringent
approach to quality ensures all our products
are not only world-class but also durable. We
adhere to international quality standards
while manufacturing our products. ISO
9001:2000and ISO 14001 certifications
and NABL Accreditation for our various
plants is a testimony to our serious approach
to quality.
It should be noted that these products are
included in the GRIHA (Green Rating for
Integrated Habitat Assessment) Product
Catalogue, signifying the highest quality
of the products. Also these products can be
used on any of GRIHA rated projects and
the application of approved products on
such projects.
