HVAC Insulation
Use HVAC insulation to improve the energy efficiency of your system
HVAC insulation is typically made from glass or stone mineral wool and is suitable for heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications in commercial and other non-domestic buildings. HVAC insulation benefits at a glance:
- Thermal insulation
- Can be part of a passive fire protection design
- Can helps to protect against condensation damage
The benefits of HVAC insulation
Whether it’s used in hotels, hospitals, airports, warehouses or schools , HVAC insulation can help to ensure systems run. Let’s look at the core elements.
Insulating ducts can reduce the amount of heat (or cold) energy needed to maintain the air temperature as designed, reducing the possible energy losses and ensure the correct temperature is delivered.
By using fire-rated insulation systems that are tested to provide passive fire protection such as the Isover U Protect System, buildings can be designed to reduce fire risk of living and working environments.
Ensuring the correct specification of pipework insulation can impact the running costs by reducing any heat loss and minimising inefficiencies in hot flow situations.
Mineral wool insulation can help prevent the surfaces of pipes or ducts from falling below the dew point and forming condensation. This reduces the risk of moisture-based corrosion or damage to systems and wider structures.
Isover’s HVAC insulation solutions can contribute to multiple credit categories in LEED, BREEAM and WELL in relation to energy, materials, resources, health and wellbeing, indoor environmental quality, and innovation.

Isover ULTIMATE™ Protect HVAC insulation
The Isover U Protect System made from mineral wool offers a lighter weight solution compared to traditional stone wool options. U Protect Slabs and Wired Mats have a typical density of 40 kg/m3 compared to between 60 kg/m3 and 100 kg/m3 for stone wool. This makes the system easier to handle as well as reducing the stress on supporting structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Isover insulation materials made from recycled content?
Our Isover glass wool products manufactured in the UK contain recycled glass. This is a combination of 52% externally sourced recycled glass and 30% internally sourced glass cullet.
Other products which are imported to the UK vary in the level of recycled content. Please check individual products’ EPDs for specific levels of recycled content in stone wool and imported glass wool products.
Are all Isover products EUCEB-certified and compliant with Note Q?
Yes. All Isover insulation products are EUCEB-certified and are compliant with Note Q of Regulation (EC) No: 1272/2008 – you can find details about them here.
What are the pallet sizes?
We use a standard 1200x1200mm pallet for products, they do have a slight variant in height ranging from 2400-2650mm.
