STEICO insulation featured in the COP 26 house
The timber frame COP26 House showcases zero carbon, circular solutions in building, and living, using standard materials and skills available today. The house uses a range of STEICO wood fibre insulations in order to achieve its goals
85 kg of CO2 are bound in the wood of 1m3 STEICOflex – and thus removed from the atmosphere in the long term.
Proper insulation means reducing costs and protecting the climate
The right thermal insulation is the most important measure for low heating energy requirements. The flexible wood fibre insulation mat STEICOflex 036 has the best insulation performance λ value (0.036) of all natural insulation materials.
