Insulation From Thousands of Years

Insulation has been on the minds of humans for hundreds of thousands of years. Consider the fact that before we were sitting comfortably in our offices and homes, surrounded by artificial insulated foams, fibers, and ceramics, we were battling the elements with mud and moss! In the beginning of insulation usage, things were simple. If you were a prehistoric man or woman seeking shelter we may have constructed temporary lodgings from stones, animal skins, fur, wool, and plants that were readily available to you. These materials created physical walls and ultimately served as insulating materials. As nomadic cave-people began to settle in specific locations around the globe and adopt agricultural practices, shelters became more permanent and alternative materials were considered. However, it is naive to think that wood, earth, and stone do not act as insulating barriers. Some of the oldest known shelters in the world are made entirely of natural products and are still standing after nearly 5,000 years!

From the mud used to bind tree trunks and ancient bricks to the asbestos used by the ancient Greeks, people have understood the importance of some kind of insulation for their homes. Depending on what is considered genuine insulation, some people insulated their homes before building them. Foam rubber was first produced in 1929, and thousands of households reported insulation problems in their existing homes due to insufficient insulation in their homes.

A Change Will Do You Good.

Rubber insulation (NBR) in buildings is an important component in achieving thermal comfort for the occupants of the building. Rubber Insulation reduces unwanted heat losses and gains and can reduce the energy requirements of heating and cooling systems. Rubber insulation can occur when the material produces a continuous temperature difference, at which the heat flow is not interrupted by rubber insulation. Therefore, any form of insulation can also form a thermal bridge state. When moisture creates thermal bridges, it can drastically reduce the effectiveness of the insulation and cause heat loss. The importance of rubber insulation in industry has been driven by a number of factors.
