Recently, interest in insulation functional building materials has been increasing to reduce greenhouse gas and increase energy efficiency. However, insulation materials installed in buildings for insulation cause the rapid vertical spread of flames, and it causes difficulties in extinguishing fires, leading to enormous casualties and property damage. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the diffusion characteristics of flames according to the type of insulation and adhesive, and to establish measures to reduce fire damage. To this end, different types of insulation and adhesives were used to compare the diffusion characteristics of flames by simultaneously setting fire. In conclusion, only incombustible insulation had the effect of preventing combustion expansion, and flame retardant insulation and semi-incombustible insulation had minimal effects. And no difference was found according to the type of adhesive. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the current building regulations to restrict the use of combustible insulation materials and to mandate the use of non-combustible insulation materials.
