When it comes to insulating your home or office, you want a solution that provides superior performance and lasting benefits. Aerolite Soft Touch is a top-of-the-line insulation material that excels in thermal performance, energy efficiency, acoustic control, fire resistance, and durability. In this article, we will explore the features and advantages of Aerolite Soft Touch, as well as its installation process, applications, maintenance, cost, and value.
The Aerolite® evolution is here, with a new name, look and feel. Aerolite® Soft Touch (previously known as Aerolite® Think Pink) ceiling insulation is now yellow in appearance, more natural and softer to touch.
A chemical pink dye was removed from the product, rendering a more sustainable thermal and acoustic solution for your home. Isover has invested in various process improvements as well as introduced additives that help to create a softer and easier to handle product.

It is specifically designed to provide exceptional thermal insulation, ensuring a comfortable living or working environment throughout the year. Aerolite Soft Touch is known for its superior quality and performance.
Benefits of Aerolite Soft Touch
- Superior Thermal Insulation: Aerolite insulation has excellent thermal resistance properties, preventing heat transfer and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. This results in reduced energy consumption and lower heating or cooling costs.
- Energy Efficiency: By minimizing heat transfer, Aerolite helps improve the energy efficiency of buildings. It reduces the need for artificial heating or cooling, thereby lowering the carbon footprint and promoting sustainability.
- Acoustic Performance: In addition to thermal insulation, Aerolite effectively reduces noise transmission. It absorbs sound waves, providing a quieter and more peaceful environment. This makes it ideal for spaces where noise control is crucial, such as offices, theaters, or recording studios.
- Fire Resistance: Aerolite is non-combustible and can withstand high temperatures. It acts as a barrier against fire, providing valuable time for occupants to evacuate and for emergency responders to contain the situation.
- Durability: Designed to last, Aerolite insulation is resistant to moisture, mold, and pests. It maintains its integrity over time, ensuring long-term performance without compromising its thermal or acoustic properties.
- Environmentally Friendly: Aerolite is made from recycled glass and is itself fully recyclable. By choosing this insulation material, you contribute to reducing landfill waste and promoting a sustainable future.
