STEICOflex, low carbon insulation
Trees absorb CO2 during photosynthesis and the carbon stays in the wood even when it is processed and transformed. As a result, 73 kg CO2eq is stored per cubic meter STEICOflex and durably removed from the atmosphere.
In addition, thanks to its outstanding insulating properties, it sustainably reduces heating energy requirements and thus saves CO2 emissions in the long term. Whether new build or renovation - STEICOflex can be used anywhere in the house and offers a whole host of benefits.
Every cubic metre of STEICOflex takes 73 kg of CO2eq out of the atmosphere
For a healthy home
STEICOflex 036 is made exclusively from fresh softwood without any questionable additives. The Institut für Baubiologie Rosenheim (IBR) has independently tested STEICOflex 036 and confirmed its ‘building biology safety’. In other words: STEICOflex 036 makes an important contribution to a healthy indoor climate.

Cold protection
With a lambda value of 0.036 W/(m*K) only, STEICOflex 036 achieves top insulation performance among bio-based insulation materials. This means high energy and CO2 savings.
Excellent heat protection
Thanks to its high heat storage capacity, STEICOflex can buffer summer heat over a period of several hours. The majority of external heat fails to penetrate the building fabric and overheating of the living space is both delayed and reduced. During the evening and night time, when it is cooler, the stored heat can then escape outwards again. Wood fibre insulation materials ensure a better heat protection than synthetic insulation materials.
Sound protection
STEICOflex makes an important contribution to noise protection. The high bulk density (volume weight) in combination with the unique fibre structure allow for high-performance sound insulation constructions.

Roof, wall & floor insulation
STEICOflex can be used in new build or for renovation in roofs, facades and floors. In the attic, the flex batts can be laid between the trusses. It can be used in the roof between the joists or in the facade between wall studs with an ETIC board on top. STEICOflex can be cut with any kind of saw. It is quick and easy to install, requires no specialist PPE and is an ideal solution for both professional installers and DIY projects.
Examples of how to use STEICOflex:
Loft insulation
Insulating the loft is an effective and easy way to reduce heating costs
Roof renovation
Climate protection, weather protection and healthy living.
Façade renovation
The high-performance insulation material from nature for healthy homes.
Internal wall insulation (IWI)
The fastest way to improved energy efficiency.
