If your oven walls aren&rsquo;t dialed in, you&rsquo;re basically paying to heat the rest of the shop. It kills your efficiency and drags out your cycle times. The fix isn&rsquo;t just adding &ldquo;more stuff&rdquo;—it&rsquo;s about the right materials and how you layer them.</p> <h2 id="choosing-the-right-stuff">Choosing the Right Stuff</h2> <p>Mineral wool is the go-to here. Specifically, high-density stone wool. Why? Because fiberglass tends to slump and sag over time when it&rsquo;s hit with constant heat. Stone wool stays put. Usually, you&rsquo;re looking at a thickness of 100mm to 150mm to get a decent baseline. But here is the catch:<strong>watch your density.</strong> If the wool is too airy, you get these little convection currents swirling inside the insulation. It’s basically a highway for heat to leak right through. That’s why we stick to high-density boards—they shut that air movement down completely.</p>
