Vermiculite Insulating Boards are high-performance thermal insulation boards engineered for demanding industrial furnace applications. Manufactured from vermiculite-based materials, they combine low thermal conductivity with excellent thermal shock resistance and good mechanical strength, helping to improve energy efficiency while delivering reliable long-term insulation performance.
Designed for both hot face and back-up insulation, Vermiculite Boards are clean to handle, easy to install and can be cut, machined or shaped on site using standard woodworking tools. Suitable for a wide range of furnace and process applications, they provide an effective insulation solution where strength, durability and thermal performance are essential.
Vermiculite Insulating Boards provide an excellent balance of thermal performance, mechanical strength and ease of fabrication for high-temperature industrial applications.
