Installation of insulation

NACE v2.1 Code: F43.23

About installation of insulation

NACE code 43.23 covers the installation of insulation, a critical activity within the construction industry. Insulation plays a vital role in improving energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs, and enhancing the overall comfort of buildings. This industry is essential for meeting sustainability goals and supporting the transition to a more environmentally-friendly built environment.

Production process

The installation of insulation typically involves the application of various insulating materials, such as fiberglass, mineral wool, or foam, to walls, ceilings, and other building components. Skilled technicians carefully measure, cut, and fit the insulation to ensure optimal coverage and performance. Specialized equipment, such as blowers or spraying machines, may be used to install certain types of insulation, ensuring a seamless and efficient application process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the installation of insulation include the insulating materials themselves, as well as tools and equipment necessary for the installation process. Commonly used insulation materials include fiberglass, mineral wool, expanded polystyrene (EPS), and polyurethane foam. Additionally, the industry relies on various fasteners, sealants, and accessories to properly install and secure the insulation within the building structure.

Production outputs

The primary output of the installation of insulation (NACE code 43.23) is the improved thermal and acoustic performance of buildings. The insulation installed by this industry is consumed by the 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings and 43.29 Other construction installation sectors, as well as the 43.91 Roofing activities and 43.99 Other specialised construction activities n.e.c. industries.
