Natural fibre insulation is an effective and sustainable solution for improving the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of buildings. Made from materials such as hemp, wool, jute, wood fibre, and cellulose, these insulations offer exceptional thermal performance while maintaining breathability. These natural materials help regulate indoor temperatures, keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer - perfect for year-round comfort.
Providing excellent thermal regulation, natural fibre insulation helps maintain a higher surface temperature to reduce condensation, thereby reducing the risk of damp and mould growth, which can lead to structural damage and a negative impact on indoor air quality. These materials also excel in soundproofing, ensuring that your home or building is quieter and more peaceful.
Natural fibre insulation options include flexible mats and blown-in options, suitable for insulating walls, roofs, floors, and lofts. Whether for new builds, renovations, or retrofitting projects, these products are sustainable and long-lasting, offering long-term environmental benefits. EPD certified, they are an excellent choice for those aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and create a sustainable, energy-efficient home.
Natural fibre insulation not only boosts thermal comfort and reduces energy consumption but also contributes to a healthier indoor environment, enhancing both energy efficiency and sustainability.
About Natural Insulation
Natural fibre insulation is made from sustainable materials such as hemp, wool, jute, wood fibre, grass and cellulose, offering outstanding thermal and acoustic insulation. These materials are highly breathable and hygroscopic, to help reduce the risk of moisture buildup and mould. By maintaining temperature stability and keeping interiors warm during the winter and cool in the summer, natural fibre insulation enhances indoor comfort and energy efficiency.
Natural insulation materials excel at soundproofing, making them ideal for noisy environments or areas requiring enhanced acoustic performance. Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural fibre insulation is free from harmful chemicals, improving indoor air quality and creating a healthier living environment.
Natural fibre insulation is not only a high-performance, eco-friendly solution but is also sourced from renewable resources. The EPD certification, granted after completing independent third-party assessments, supports users to make informed product choices, contributing to sustainable building practices.
