Twiga Insul
One of the best known products for thermal & acoustic insulation, Twiga Insul is light gold in colour and is a light weight, compressible insulation material consisting of fine, long, inorganic glass fibers bonded together by a high temperature binder. Twiga Insul is available in rolls, slabs and boards, in various densities and thicknesses and with a wide range of factory applied facings which include reinforced aluminum foil, fiberglass tissue, black glass tissue and a wide range of imported premium facings.

Twiga Insul for Thermal & Actoustic Insulation

Fire Safety Twiga Glass Wool made from pure silica sand will not support combustion even in direct, prolonged contact with flames. It emits no toxic fumes or smoke, the two biggest hazards to health and life in the event of a fire. Glass wool is a complete fire safe product complying the following standards:
