Hypro Therm Insulation Information
Wood and Coal Boiler/Furnace Insulation
We now have the proper insulation that the furnace REALLY needs; (we and everyone else has been doing it wrong according to the insulation engineers!)
We now have insulation with the equivalent of R-23 in the sides and R-57 in the roof and in the front against the 700 degree firebox with up to R-88 equivalent in the optional EXTREME Cold Weather Package for just $307 on any front-loading model (boiler or water-less hot air)! Available on top loaders for just $443.
The brown insulation you see is the Knauf insulation that is rated for 1000 F without failing. It is perfect for the air jacket because it only reaches 170 F; at those temperatures normal R factor (home type) insulation fails.
The white product on the front is called Superwool from Morgan Thermodynamics and is rated at over 2300 F, without failing, which is excellent when insulating a firebox which can easily be 800 F to 1200 F; again where normal residential insulation will always melt or/and fail!
See how great Superwool is on the video at:
