- PL Building insulationIsovlas PL mainly insulation in light construction construction HSB and post-insulation such as wall, roof and floor, which is optimally durable, cheap, healthy and easy to process. The insulation is based on flax, because flax is: cyclically renewable and recoverable, removes and stores CO2 from the atmosphere, is naturally temperature and moisture regulating and does not contain harmful dust particles.
- Blow-in straw fibre insulationBioblow blow-in fibre is an insulation material made from natural and recycled components. It is used to insulate walls, roofs, and floors in residential and commercial buildings. The material is applied using specialised equipment, ensuring even distribution to create a seamless layer of insulation.
- VIP (Vacuum Insulated Panel)With a thickness of only 20 mm a R value of 4.76 m2K / W, vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) insulate roughly five times better than insulating PIR and about eight times stronger than mineral wool insulation. For the insulating effect, fumed silica - which is a micro-fiber based silica - is used. These extremely low heat circulating fibers are compressed, after which a very damp-proof barrier film wrapped around it.

- Ekovilla Cellulose Insulation SlabEkovilla Cellulose Insulation Slab is an eco-friendly insulation solution designed for walls, roofs, and floors. Crafted from pure cellulose fibers sourced from recycled newspapers, this insulation panel brings sustainability and performance together. Bound together with bonding fibers and treated with flame-retardant salts, it delivers strong fire resistance while maintaining its natural benefits.
- Fineo vacuum insulating glassFINEO is a vacuum insulating glazing solution developed jointly by AGC Glass Europe and Panasonic. It achieves the thermal performance of triple glazing while maintaining the slim profile and appearance of single glazing. At the core of FINEO's performance is a vacuum cavity of 0.1 mm between two panes of glass, supported by a network of micro-pillars and combined with a low-emissivity coating.
- Nanowood material insulates as well as StyrofoamResearchers at the University of Maryland created a new, sustainable and lightweight nanowood material that is as insulating as Styrofoam, but stronger and more…
- FeelingWood wood fibre insulationFeelingWood is dimensionally stabile and flexible insulation board made from FSC certified wood fibre. Wood fibre has naturally high heat storage capacity. The insulation provides a better indoor climate, and it absorbs, transports and emits moisture from the walls. The insulation meets the UN criteria of Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability.
- Solar-Powered Refrigerator Uses Bacterial Cellulose InsulationXero Cool is an experimental refrigerator that combines solar-powered cooling with insulation made from bacterial cellulose xerogel. Developed by designer Audrey Levy during her…
- Cork and Coconut InsulationQualycork supplies insulation products made from expanded cork and coconut fibres for thermal and acoustic applications in buildings. The materials are fully bio-based and derived from renewable natural resources. Expanded cork is produced from cork oak bark, harvested without damaging the tree. Coconut fibre insulation is derived from coconut husks and is primarily used for acoustic performance.
- Transparent Insulation Material Promises Major Energy Savings for BuildingsResearchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new transparent insulation material for windows. The material improves thermal performance while keeping glass…
- First Circular InsulationFC-i produces biobased, CO₂-neutral insulation for sustainable construction. Made from wood, hemp, and mycelium, its materials offer an eco-friendly alternative to conventional insulation.
- Hybrid insulationHybris is an insulation material for masonry walls or timber frame, pitched roofs or ceilings and is a reflective insulation product based on a honeycomb structure. It is available in 1145 mm wide panels and in thicknesses from 50 mm to 205 mm. Its high thermal performance is provided by a structure composed of a large number of low emissivity cavities, protected from dust and excessive air movement.
- HempFlax Nature InsulationHempFlax Nature Insulation is made out of 100% hemp fibres, produced from the non psychoactive hemp plant. Hemp fibres are lighter then glass fibres. The fibres are able to absorb and release water easily. The mats can be produced with a synthetic binder or biobased (PLA) binder.

- Typha insulationTypha, commonly known as reed, cattail or bulrush, is a fast growing plant that flourishes in the watery areas of Friesland in the Netherlands. In collaboration with various institutions, a regional value chain is being developed to turn typha into insulation material. Studio Tjeerd Veenhoven is developing insulation suitable for cavity walls that meets the current building standards.
- 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.
