Global Insulation Knowledge Base
The Global Insulation Knowledge Base is presented on a fully-searchable DVD
Global Insulation was established in 2007 and has become known as the industry's foremost independent provider of information and events for the world-wide insulation industry. Global Insulation Magazine (which was merged with Global Gypsum Magazine in 2009) published news and articles on insulation technology and production advances, while the ongoing Global Insulation Conference and Exhibition continues to showcase the state-of-the-art in the global insulation industry.
