Insulation materials are building materials that have a low bulk density and thermal conductivity. Static air inside the building materials minimizes heat and cold loss, thus creating a stable indoor climate inside the building.
Air is a poor conductor of heat. This property can be exploited with thermal insulation materials. Air is trapped in the pores of the insulation material.
Typically, higher-density fabrics conduct heat better than low-density fabrics. Therefore, metal components are good heat conductors and are often responsible for insulation losses.
