Monoglass
Sprayed-on glass fibre insulation
Introduction
Monoglass spray-on insulation was developed in 1979 to provide a spray-applied fibreglass insulation that could produce higher installed R-value with easier application than cellulose-based spray insulation.
Applications
Monoglass may be applied to concrete, wood, steel and gypsum surfaces and rigid fibreglass and plastic insulations.
It is of particular application in
multi-occupancy buildings, hotels and offices and in solving problems of condensation control.
Authority
Monoglass complies with many standards worldwide including ASTM, British Standards and Lloyds Register. A full list of certificates and standards is available from the company.
