Insulation for Aesthetics Applications
As building designs trend toward open ceilings and exposed duct work, designers are faced with a major challenge: finding a fiberglass insulation that meets codes and system specifications and is also aesthetically appealing. While painting insulation for interior design purposes is not recommended for a variety of reasons, ranging from fire safety, to code compliance, there are unique insulation solutions engineered specifically to offer insulating performance and aesthetic appeal.
At Johns Manville, we are committed to developing solutions that help the market evolve. We offer a wide range of insulation materials that couple performance with attractive finishes for aesthetic applications.
Let us help you get started and match your insulation performance specs with the look that suits your aesthetic/design.
