    The document summarizes different types of insulation materials, including fiberglass, polyurethane foam, mineral wool, and polystyrene foam. Fiberglass is one of the most common insulation materials used today because its woven glass strands effectively minimize heat transfer. Polyurethane foams are excellent insulators that use non-CFC gases, helping to decrease damage to the ozone layer. Mineral wool refers to fiberglass made from recycled glass or rock wool made from basalt. Polystyrene foam comes in expanded and extruded forms, also known as Styrofoam, and is a good sound and temperature insulator.
