Featured campaign - 'The multiple roles of insulation'
Insulation is more than just U-values. It profoundly influences the performance of our buildings and has multiple roles, including:
Thermal
Acoustic
Fire protection
Health
Comfort
Buildability
Durability
Sustainability
Balanced consideration of this multi-functionality often makes natural fibre insulation the superior choice.
