Solutions for New Construction and Co-Location Facilities

insulation Solutions Engineered for the Systems Data Centers Depend On

A data center has one job: never go down. Teams focus on power and cooling, but insulation quietly shapes how those systems perform over time. As insulation degrades from moisture, installation variability, or system mismatch, thermal stability is lost, cooling systems work harder, and long-term risk grows. That's why insulation isn't a standalone product choice. It's a system decision. 

Owens Corning approaches it that way, supporting thermal stability, moisture management, and consistent performance across the mechanical system: 

  • Applications across chilled water, process, steam, and mechanical equipment 
  • Decades of building science expertise and technical support 
  • A broad distribution network supporting product availability across multi-phase, campus-scale builds 
  • Solutions for new construction and co-location facilities

The impact of moisture in chilled water insulation systems

Chilled water and other below ambient systems are present in large commercial buildings and a wide range of manufacturing facilities. These applications require an insulation system that resists vapor drive to help ensure the process performs as designed.
