- Hemp insulationHemp fibres for thermal and acoustic insulation. The hemp is grown and harvested in France, after which it’s made into a Hemp fibre. The Hemp fibre is treated to make it fire-resistant and then pressed into large rolls of insulation material for the building industry.
- TIMax GL Glass fibre insulationTIMax GL is a glass fibre insulation material that enhances the heat insulation (U-value) of profiled glass façade systems. TIMax GL is both translucent and light scattering. Due to this light scattering effect, even deep rooms can be illuminated evenly. TIMax GL additionally offers sun protection because it reduces the solar heat penetrating a window in the summer. .
- Waste Wool Becomes Biobased Cladding and Insulation for Building RetrofitsHarvard researchers turn waste wool into biobased cladding and insulation panels for building retrofits, using keratin and citric acid.
- Biobased Nanocellulose Aerogels: Fire-Safe Insulation for Sustainable DesignInsulation materials are essential for energy-efficient buildings, yet conventional petroleum-derived foams are associated with significant drawbacks, including flammability, limited recyclability, and environmental impact. A…
- Insulation made of rice husks and newspapersA team of scientists at the Technological University of Panama developed an insulation material made of waste rice husks and old newspapers. In Panama,…
- Insulating instant windows in disaster areasThought up by humanitarian Wendelin Federer and designed by Reto Togni, Instant Windows are an affordable and insulating alternative for broken windows in disaster…
- Keep your products cool with sheep’s wool insulationWith our oceans polluted with plastic, a lot of which consists of singe-use plastic from packaging, it’s good to see more and more companies…
- Métisse recycled textile insulationMétisse insulation consists of leftover jeans and sweaters, a sustainable material that scores 3 out of 3 on the three pillars of sustainability. The clothing isn't burned but reused (Environment), the production of the material helps people with a disadvantage on the labour market (Society), and the material lowers the energy bill (Economy).
- Insulated GlassblockSBskin developed and patented a series of novel glassblock configurations, with the aim to optimize their energy performance. This high insulating glassblock is modified through a plastic thermal belt, for outside installations.
- Insulation with ECOSE TechnologyThis insulation material (65% recycled glass) is made from a natural, formaldehyde-free binder technology which uses renewable organic materials instead of oil based chemicals. This leads to a natural, earthy brown colour, free from dye or colorants. Benefits: a softer feel, less itchy, less dusty, odourless and easy to cut.
- Mycelium Insulates Experimental Timber Pavilion in TallinnAn experimental timber pavilion in central Tallinn is showing how biobased and modular materials can change architecture. The project is a collaboration between materials…
- A plant-based fibre fill insulation materialUK-based start-up Saltyco developed a plant-based fibre fill insulation material which was used in a capsule collection by fashion label YOOX. Saltyco is a…
- Pavatex woodfibre insulation boardsThis high-quality insulation is made from the renewable raw material wood, to give better protection against cold, heat, noise and fire. As natural materials, the fibreboards meet the most exacting requirements in terms of ecology and sustainability.
- Cocos InsulationThe cocos insulation material is made from the natural coco fibres and can be used directly below a floating floor. The fibres have a high lignin content and thus a low cellulose content, therefore it is resilient, strong and highly durable. The material provides great acoustic damping and has a levelling effect.
- Recycled PIR insulationHigh-quality PIR insulation with recycled raw materials with a low environmental cost indicator (MKI) registered in the Dutch National Environmental Database (NMD). For use in floors, pitched and flat roofs and cavity walls in new-build and renovation projects.
- Thermal insulating paintResearchers at Stanford University in the US developed insulating paint in multiple colours that can keep buildings cooled in summer and warmer in winter,…
- Knauf Insulation
- Sound insulating screwsSwedish company Akoustos, a spin-off company of Malmö University, developed a sound-absorbing screw, which provides both a resilient connection between panels and studs while…
- Insulate your house well on Cut Your Energy Costs DayGood insulation makes your house feel much more comfortable, is better for the environment, and, most importantly on Cut Your Energy Costs Day, it…
- Daemwool natural wool insulationDaemwool is insulation material made from natural wool. Sheep's wool is an excellent insulation material even when it's damp, so that sheep keep warm in the rain. Wool also provides protection against overheating, thus cooling rooms in summer. In addition, wool is moisturising, acoustic, fire resistant, self-extinguishing, and neutralises harmful gasses and odours.
- Cellulose-based foam insulates better than StyrofoamResearchers at Washington State University in the US developed an environmentally, cellulose-based foam that insulates better than oil-based Styrofoam. Polystyrene foam or Styrofoam, made…
- ThermafiberThermafiber insulation material provides a combination of fire protection, sound control, thermal insulation, and energy conservation. Ideal for parking garage under decking, mechanical rooms, and other areas where insulation is required.
- BluedecBluedec is a flexible, nanoporous aerogel blanket insulation that insulates against heat and cold 2 to 8 times better than any other conventional insulation material. Because it is so thin it can also be used in difficult places. It is easy to cut or to trim. Water repellent, but vapour permeable, and environmentally friendly. The material also retains constant quality over time, making it reusable.
- WDS UltraWDS Ultra is a microporous insulation material with an extremely low coefficient of thermal conductivity, with very good insulating properties. The main component is fumed silica, the others are opacifiers for minimizing infrared radiation. Tried and tested applications for WDS Ultra include insulation for heat-treatment furnaces and back-up insulation in the industrial industry.
