For lofts

Description

JetStream is an un-bonded, non-combustible glass mineral wool blowing insulation which requires no mixing on site and is designed to deliver excellent coverage rates and blowing performance.

Application

JetStream glass mineral wool blowing insulation is typically installed in open lofts of both new build and refurbished pitched roofs and is installed at the horizontal ceiling level.

Thermal resistance

JetStream glass mineral wool blowing insulation delivers a range of thermal resistance values, dependent on the installed thickness. Achieving the desired thermal resistance value (R-value) is provided by installing JetStream in accordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions, the required number of bags per net area, at no less than the minimum thickness specified. Failure to install both the required number of bags at the minimum specified thickness will result in lower thermal resistance values being achieved.

Durability

JetStream is odourless, rot proof, non-hygroscopic, does not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria.

Thermal Conductivity

JetStream has a thermal conductivity of 0.042W/mK when installed at a density of 15.00kg/m³.

Standards

JetStream glass mineral wool blowing insulation is made from non-combustible inorganic glass mineral wool, defined as mineral wool in EN ISO 9229 and is manufactured to a Quality Assurance system which complies with EN ISO 9001:2000 and is also EUCEB compliant. EUCEB - (European Certification Board for Mineral Wool Products) EUCEB verifies the conformity of mineral wool products to the European Directive’s carcinogenic exoneration criteria. Manufacturers are allowed to place the EUCEB trademark on their products if the results of tests prove that their products comply with the biopersistence criteria defined in Nota Q of the European Directive 97/69/EC. By displaying the EUCEB trademark customers can readily see that a product meets the exoneration classification.

Environmental

JetStream conserves energy and therefore assists in reducing demand for fuels for the heating and air-conditioning of buildings. As a result, they reduce the emissions of the major greenhouse gas, CO₂. The energy and CO₂ emissions saved by the products in use vastly outweigh those generated in their manufacture. JetStream’s manufacture has a low impact on the environment and is classified as Zero ODP and Zero GWP.

Vapour resistance - resistivity

JetStream offers negligible resistance to the passage of water vapour and has a vapour resistivity of 7.00 MN.s.g.m.

Handling and storage

JetStream glass mineral wool blowing insulation is supplied in polythene packs which are designed for short term protection only. For longer term protection on site, the product should either be stored indoors, or under cover and off the ground. JetStream should not be left permanently exposed to the elements.
