Material Filtering#
Materials lists#
As the size of the materials files has grown over the years it has become more difficult to find the material you are looking for.
In INSUL version 9.0 there are three tools to help you, filtering or searching by description. You can filter the list by Category or by Manufacturer.
There are at present 8 different categories:
- Fibre cement
- Glazing
- Gypsum
- Insulated Panels
- Masonry
- Profiled Metal
- Other
- Wood
If you select for instance Gypsum, then only the Gypsum board materials are shown.
Floor cover lists#
There are 10 different categories of floor covers:
- Tiles
- Screed
- Timber
- Vinyl
- Cork
- Rubber
- Carpet
- Floating floor
- Raised Access floor
- Miscellaneous
