About Natural Fibre Insulation
Natural fibre insulation (NFI) products and systems are derived from natural materials such as wood fibre, hemp, straw, cellulose, wool, cotton and flax. NFI has a wide range of applications including for new build and retrofit, and residential and commercial buildings.
Insulation is more than just U-values. It profoundly influences the performance of our buildings and has multiple roles, including acoustic performance, fire protection, improved health & wellbeing and occupant comfort, and lower embodied carbon. Balanced consideration of this multi-functionality often makes natural fibre insulation the most appropriate choice.

The ASBP Natural Fibre Insulation Group (NFIG) is a collective of ASBP members who are the leading manufacturers and suppliers of natural fibre insulation in the UK. The purpose of the group is to work collaboratively to better communicate the many benefits of natural insulation products and systems.
