Why Are Sound and Thermal Insulation Critical in Shipbuilding?

Shipbuilding isn't only about steel and welding. Thermal and acoustic insulation is vital for comfort, safety, and energy efficiency on board.

Thermal Insulation: Energy Efficiency

Uncontrolled heat from engine rooms and boilers leads to energy loss. Proper insulation ensures:

- Reduced fuel consumption

- Stable indoor temperatures

- Lower CO₂ emissions

Acoustic Insulation: Comfort and Safety

Noise from engines, exhausts, and pumps can cause hearing damage, decreased crew comfort, and overlooked mechanical faults. Materials such as stone wool (A1 fire class) and acoustic panels effectively absorb noise and vibration.

Materials Used:

- Stone wool (A-30 - A60 fire class)

- Aluminum foil tape

- Acoustic barriers

- Dual-layer composite systems
