Wall Insulation
The most common type of insulation used for business and homes is thermal insulation. Thermal wall insulation is one method of preventing heat from escaping a container or from entering the container. In other words, thermal insulation can keep an enclosed area such as a building warm, or it can keep the inside of a container cold. Heat is transferred from one material to another by conduction, convection and/or radiation.
Spray Foam Insulation.
Spray foam insulating is used for sealing ceiling areas, walls and under floors in businesses and residential housing. Special equipment is used to spray this product into areas to be insulated. After it is sprayed it expands too completely fill the voids. This not only helps to ensure you get the most in R-value, it also air seals the area at the same time. Spray foam insulation does not shrink, sag or settle. An extra bonus is it will also inhibit mold because it doesn't absorb water.
Pipe Insulating
Insulating your hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water temperature 2ºF–4ºF hotter than uninsulated pipes can deliver, allowing for a lower water temperature setting. You also won't have to wait as long for hot water when you turn on a faucet or shower head, which helps conserve water. It's also a good idea to insulate all accessible hot water pipes and the first 3 feet of your cold water inlet pipes.

R-Value
The R value or R-value is a measure of thermal resistance used in the building and construction industry. Under uniform conditions it is the ratio of the temperature difference across an insulator and the heat flux (heat flow per unit area,) through it. The bigger the number, the better the building insulation's effectiveness.
Fireproof Insulation
Fireproof insulation is insulation made of a fire retardant material. It may be used in building materials and other applications where fireproofing is needed. Fireproof insulation may be made from materials not normally used for other applications, or may be standard insulating materials coated with a fireproof layer. Fireproof insulation is usually made of one of four basic types of materials. Each material has its benefits, its appropriate uses and its limitations. These materials include fiberglass, glass wool, polymers and natural products.
