Isover's MBI Solution –

Factorylite® AshGrid™ & Isover Straining Wires

In alignment with the latest fire safety standards outlined in SANS 53501, Isover's insulation solution is designed for both new and retrofit metal buildings. This non-combustible system integrates Factorylite®'s high-performance thermal insulation with the AshGrid™ Spacer System and Isover Straining Wires, delivering safer, more energy-efficient construction.

Factorylite® Core Performance

At the core of Isover's MBI Solution is Factorylite®, a premium Glasswool insulation blanket available in silver, black, or white metalized foil finishes to suit project specifications. Rated A2 non-combustible according to SANS 53501, Factorylite® ensures enhanced fire safety in metal building applications. Available in multiple thicknesses to meet specific thermal resistance requirements, it maintains full thickness upon installation—critical for achieving optimal performance.

AshGrid™ Spacer Protection

The AshGrid™ Spacer System preserves Factorylite®'s integrity by preventing compression from roof elements during installation. Without proper spacing, insulation performance degrades at compression points. AshGrid™ ensures proper alignment and eliminates thermal bridging (unwanted heat transfer through structural elements), contributing to long-term energy savings and consistent performance.

Integrated System Benefits

Isover Straining Wires provide structural support for Factorylite®, reinforcing the system's integrity. Combined with AshGrid™, they enable installation of a complete non-combustible, fire-safe insulation solution that enhances both fire safety and energy efficiency throughout the building's lifecycle.

Together, these components reflect Isover's commitment to delivering durable, safe, and energy-efficient solutions for modern metal buildings. Isover is the official distributor of Ash and Lacy Building System's AshGrid™ system for metal building applications.
