Fiberglass Insulation for Steel Buildings: R-Value Calculation & FSK vs WMP Facings

Introduction: The Mathematics of Heat Transfer

Energy codes demand exact math. If you specify the wrong fiberglass density, heat escapes. Condensation ruins the steel framing. HVAC operating costs explode. As a top-tier B2B supplier of thermal insulation products, we source directly from verified OEM factories. We demand absolute non combustible class a building insulation. Here is the strict engineering logic for PEB roof and wall insulation.

1. Thermal Equations & R-Value Matrix

You must calculate the thermal conductivity glass wool peb parameters before ordering.

  • U-Value (Heat Transfer Coefficient): U = K / T [W/(m²·°C)]

  • R-Value (Thermal Resistance): R = 1 / U = T / K [m²·°C/W]

  • Example: Take a 100mm thick blanket at 12 kg/m³ density. The K-value is 0.043 at 24°C. U = 0.043 / 0.10 = 0.43 W/m²·°C. R = 2.33 m²·K/W. Do not guess these numbers. Use this engineered wholesale matrix.

Thickness 12 kg/m³ (K=0.043) 14 kg/m³ (K=0.040) 16 kg/m³ (K=0.039) 20 kg/m³ (K=0.037) 24 kg/m³ (K=0.036)
50 mm 1.2 1.3 1.3 1.4 1.4
75 mm 1.7 1.9 1.9 2 2.1
100 mm 2.3 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8
150 mm 3.5 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2

2. Vapor Barrier Facings: WMP vs FSK

Bare fiberglass absorbs moisture. You must seal it. The debate between fsk aluminum foil vs wmp vinyl facing comes down to lighting and permeance.

  • WMP-50 (Premium White Vinyl): Ultra-low permeance rating of 0.02 Perm. It delivers >85% light reflectance, drastically cutting interior lighting costs. It features +75mm tab extensions on both sides for seamless joint stapling.

  • FSK (Foil-Scrim-Kraft): Metallic aluminum face. Matches the 0.02 Perm rating. Features +50mm tab extensions. Best used in concealed cavities where light reflectance is irrelevant.

3. Sourcing Specification Matrix

Match your exact factory requirement to the OEM part numbers below.
