Popular Insulation Products Available at arlcoal.com:

• Fiberglass insulation: Made from tiny glass fibers that are spun into a mat or batt. It is the most common type of insulation used in homes. Fiberglass insulation is relatively inexpensive and easy to install. However, it can be itchy and messy to work with.
  
• Foam board insulation: Made from a plastic foam that is rigid and lightweight. It is available in sheets that can be cut to size and installed in walls, attics, and floors. Foam board insulation is more expensive than fiberglass insulation, but it is more effective at blocking heat transfer.
  
• Mineral wool insulation: Made from either rock wool or slag wool. It is similar to fiberglass insulation in terms of its properties, but it is more fire-resistant. Mineral wool insulation is also more expensive than fiberglass insulation.
  
• Spray foam insulation: Made from a liquid polyurethane that is sprayed onto surfaces. It can be used to fill in gaps and cracks, and it can also be used to create a continuous layer of insulation. Spray foam insulation is the most expensive type of insulation, but it is also the most effective.
  

Insulation serves to slow down or prevent the transfer of heat, sound, or electricity. It finds applications in various fields, including building construction, electrical engineering, and industrial processes. The most common types of insulation include:

• Fiberglass: Made from tiny glass fibers spun into a batt or blanket, fiberglass is a good insulator of heat and sound, and it's relatively cost-effective.
  
• Mineral Wool: Comprising mineral fibers spun from molten rock or slag, mineral wool is an excellent insulator of heat and sound, as well as fire-resistant.
  
• Cellulose: Crafted from recycled paper products, cellulose is a good insulator of heat and sound, and it's relatively budget-friendly.
  
• Foam: Foam insulation is made from plastic, available in rigid or flexible forms, and is an effective insulator of heat and sound.
  
• Reflective Insulation: Made from materials that reflect heat back to the source, reflective insulation is efficient at insulating heat but less effective at insulating sound.
