Webinar Recording - Rethinking IWI with Natural Fibre Insulation
Take a deep dive into thermal upgrades to solid walls using natural fibre insulation internally
The so-called lambda value (λ) is important for cold protection. The lower the value, the better the insulating performance of a material. With a nominal value of λD 0.036, STEICOflex 036 has the best insulation performance that can be achieved with natural insulation materials.
This means effective thermal protection, low heating costs and comfortable well-being.
The principle is familiar from good outdoor jackets: STEICO insulation materials are "breathable", i.e. vapor-permeable. They offer active moisture management: If moisture gets into the insulating layer, it is conducted to the outside, where it can dry off.
In addition, STEICO wood fiber insulation boards are water-repellent - the roof is protected against rain beginning with the day of installation. As a second "weather shield" STEICO insulation materials provide permanent protection, lasting for the whole lifetime of the building.
The unique combination of high raw density and the special fibre structure of the insulation boards make STEICO wood fibre insulating materials particularly effective in sound insulation.
Protection against cold, heat and a healthy indoor climate bring tangible added value for the occupants of the house. But ecological insulation can also make a valuable contribution to increasing the value of your property. Because when it comes to a later sale, ecologically renovated houses are usually worth significantly more to buyers.
The particularly high volume weight of wood fibre insulation materials is a heat buffer that delays the passage of heat. Put simply: the heat remains trapped in STEICO wood fiber insulation materials until it gets cooler in the evenings.
