What is Insulation Vermiculite?
Insulation vermiculite is a natural mineral (hydrated phyllosilicate) that expands when heated, producing lightweight granules with exceptional thermal insulation and fire resistance.
It is chemically inert, odorless, environmentally safe, and does not decompose over time — making it ideal for use in walls, roofs, boilers, and refractory installations.
Because of its high air content and low density, expanded vermiculite provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation and is widely used across the construction, industrial, and energy sectors in Kenya.
Applications of Insulation Vermiculite in Kenya
1. Building & Roof Insulation
-
Ideal for roofs, ceilings, and attic spaces to reduce heat transfer.
-
Applied as loose-fill insulation or mixed with cement for insulation plasters.
-
Improves indoor comfort and significantly lowers energy consumption.
2. Lightweight Concrete & Wall Plasters
-
Used as a lightweight aggregate in concrete and plaster.
-
Reduces structural load while improving fire and sound resistance.
-
Excellent for internal and external wall coatings, ceilings, and partition panels.
3. Fireproofing & Thermal Protection
-
Naturally non-combustible and retains stability up to 1100°C.
-
Used in fireproof wall linings, chimneys, furnaces, and industrial kilns.
-
Enhances fire resistance in boiler rooms and thermal plants.
4. Cavity & Loose-Fill Insulation
-
Perfect for filling wall cavities and floor voids to prevent heat escape.
-
Retains insulation value over time without sagging or breaking down.
-
Resistant to moisture, mold, and corrosion, making it durable and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is vermiculite used for in insulation?
Vermiculite is used as an insulating aggregate in building materials such as plasters, screeds, and concrete. It helps reduce heat transfer and provides fireproof and soundproof protection in homes, factories, and commercial buildings.
2. Which vermiculite is best for insulation?
For insulation, the medium to coarse expanded vermiculite grade is best.
Kingsman Engineering supplies premium insulation vermiculite suitable for thermal, acoustic, and fireproofing needs in both domestic and industrial projects.
3. How is vermiculite used in construction?
Vermiculite is mixed with cement or gypsum to form insulating plasters, panels, or lightweight concrete. It can also be used as loose-fill insulation in cavities and attics to maintain temperature and reduce energy loss.
4. Can you mix vermiculite with cement?
Yes — vermiculite can be safely mixed with cement to form lightweight, insulating concrete.
Typical mix ratio: 1 part cement to 6–8 parts vermiculite by volume.
This mix is ideal for roofs, slabs, fireproof panels, and boiler room insulation.
