We want to conclude on the interest of the “crimping” process used to produce the glass wool and to make a comparison for anisotropic factor obtained from structural property (air permeability) as well as thermal property (thermal conductivity and diffusivity). The main structural (densities, porosity, specific surface, air permeability) and the thermal (conductivity, diffusivity, heat capacity) characteristics of this glass wool are presented. Thermal results are determined by using several methods (Hot disc (HD), Heat Flow Meter (HFM) and Guarded Hot Plate).
