Thermal Insulation in Kashmir – Rockwool, Glasswool, XLPE & Air Bubble
Thermal Insulation Solutions for Energy Efficient Buildings in Kashmir – keep your spaces cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and protected from condensation with professional-grade insulation systems like Rockwool, Glass wool, XLPE and Air Bubble Insulation supplied and installed by HAKSUN TRADE LINKS.
- Ideal for homes, commercial buildings, cold storage, and industrial projects.
- Reduced energy bills, enhanced comfort, and long service life.
Why thermal insulation
Thermal insulation slows down heat transfer through roofs, walls, ceilings and ducts, so indoor temperatures remain stable with less dependence on heating and cooling equipment. Properly designed insulation systems can cut energy consumption significantly, reduce HVAC load, and minimize surface condensation problems common in humid or cold climates.
For projects in Kashmir, insulation also helps manage wide temperature swings, protects against roof heat in summer and heat loss in winter, and contributes to better acoustic comfort in busy urban locations.
Rockwool insulation
Rockwool (stone wool) is manufactured from natural basalt rock and recycled slag, forming dense, non-combustible mineral wool slabs or rolls.
4 Key advantages:
- Excellent thermal resistance with R-value typically around 3.0–3.3 per inch, suitable for roofs, walls and under-deck applications.
- Non-combustible and fire-resistant, helping to increase fire safety and compartmentation.
- Good acoustic absorption for sound control in partitions, auditoriums, and industrial plants.
- Water-repellent, resistant to rot, mold and most pests, giving long, stable performance.
Glasswool insulation
Glasswool (fiberglass wool) is made from spun glass fibers bonded into light, flexible blankets or boards.
Benefits:
- Cost-effective thermal insulation for false ceilings, lightweight roofs, ducting and wall cavities.
- Good acoustic properties, useful in offices, halls, studios and residential partitions.
- Lightweight and easy to install in suspended ceiling grids and metal framing systems.
XLPE foam insulation
XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) is a closed-cell foam insulation supplied in sheets, rolls or pipe sections.
Advantages:
- Low thermal conductivity and closed-cell structure, ideal for chilled water lines, HVAC ducts and under-deck roof insulation.
- Built-in vapour barrier characteristics help control condensation on cold surfaces.
- Lightweight, clean, and easy to cut and fit around services.
Air bubble insulation
Air bubble insulation is a multilayer product that combines polyethylene air bubble film with reflective foil surfaces.
Typical uses and advantages:
- Under-sheet metal roofs and wall liners where radiant heat reduction is required.
- Reflective surfaces reduce radiant heat gain in summer and help retain heat in winter, improving comfort in non-AC spaces.
- Slim profile, easy to staple or fix with minimal structural loading.

Where these systems are used
These insulation materials can be designed for:
- Residential buildings: sloping and flat roofs, attic spaces, external and internal walls, false ceilings.
- Commercial and institutional projects: offices, hospitals, schools, showrooms and malls.
- Industrial and cold chain: process piping, tanks, boilers, cold rooms, and pre-engineered buildings.
