EARTHWOOL INSULATION
Why Earthwool®?
Whatever your insulation needs, there are plenty of reasons why Earthwool® is great solution.
Earthwool Insulation
This is a multi-purpose insulating material that comes with additional benefits when compared to traditional materials. This insulation material comes with a good R-value for maximum thermal protection. R-value is the factor that determines the efficiency of insulation. The higher the R-value, the greater the thermal resistance. Earthwool is made of recycled glass bottles and sand, making it a sound choice for those conscious about their environmental impact.
Earthwool is an allergen friendly product. Due to having no added formaldehyde, Earthwool provides high indoor air quality and is suitable for use in households with allergies. Formaldehyde is a colourless, irritating and unpleasant smelling gas and is usually found in water based solutions. Whilst only traces are found in other insulating products, formaldehyde can cause irritation to the eyes, skin and lungs. Given the lack of this chemical, Earthwool is not as itchy to install. This can be a common complaint from installers using other brands of insulation. Earthwool comes from a revolutionary, patented binder made using renewable bio-based materials.
-
Soft to handle
Earthwool® insulation is made using a combination of state-of-the-art technologies, which make the insulation more comfortable to handle. Firstly, Insulation proprietary fiberisation process creates soft and comfortable to handle Fibreglass to reduce irritation. Secondly, the patented ECOSE® Technology binder results in a much softer, less ‘crunchy’ and less dusty insulation product compared to traditional Fibreglass products made using formaldehyde.
-
Thermal performance
The thermal properties of Earthwool® act as a barrier to the outside elements to limit heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer through your walls, ceiling and floor. So your home will stay at a comfortable temperature all year-round.
-
Absorbs sound
Earthwool® will also absorb sound transfer in external and internal walls helping to create a peaceful and happy home.
-
Non-combustible
Earthwool® insulation has inherent fire performance, which means the insulation is non-combustible.
-
Made using recycled glass
Earthwool® is made using up to 80% recycled glass and as well as being a sustainable product the insulation has inherent thermal, acoustic and fire performance.
-
No added formaldehyde
Earthwool® insulation made with ECOSE® Technology benefits from a binder which has no added formaldehyde and is based on renewable, bio-based materials instead of traditional petro-based chemicals. The ECOSE® Technology binder is less energy intensive than the formaldehyde binders used in our traditional Glasswool insulation.
