Aerolite: Insulation that puts safety first
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 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.
