Aerolite® Soft touch: Safety-First Insulation

In today’s construction landscape, the materials we choose must meet rising demands for safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Aerolite, a high-performance glass wool insulation, stands out – not just for its thermal and acoustic properties, but for something just as critical: its SANS 53501-1 A1 fire rating.

What the A1 rating really means

The A1 rating, under South Africa’s SANS 53501-1 standard, is the highest possible classification for fire safety. It certifies that Aerolite is non-combustible, produces no flaming droplets, and emits minimal smoke. In fire scenarios, this means Aerolite won’t fuel the flames — giving occupants more time to evacuate and minimising structural damage. This level of safety is especially crucial in high-density residential, commercial, and public buildings where lives and assets depend on fire-safe materials.

More than just non-combustible

Aerolite doesn’t stop at safety. It also offers:

• Excellent thermal performance, reducing energy costs year-round

• Effective sound insulation, ideal for homes, offices, and schools

• Eco-friendly composition, made with up to 80% recycled glass

• Safe handling and a long service life without loss of performance.

The Smarter Standard

As building codes evolve and expectations rise, Aerolite checks every box: safe, efficient, sustainable. Its A1 fire rating sets it apart as a leader — not just in insulation, but in responsible building practice. When safety is non-negotiable, Aerolite is the clear choice.
