Natural Fibre Insulation Group
The 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.
Group activities include exhibiting at popular tradeshows (Futurebuild, UK Construction Week, London Build), hosting CPDs/events, publishing peer-reviewed briefing papers and journal/magazine articles, and more.
The group is open to ASBP members who are involved in the production, marketing and/or sale of natural fibre insulation in the UK.
The number of members in the group is not limited but all members should be able to work in good faith with others in the sector.

THE MULTIPLE ROLES OF INSULATION
More than just U-values...
Insulation profoundly influences the performance of our buildings and has multiple roles:
- Thermal
- Acoustic
- Fire protection
- Health
- Comfort
- Buildability
- Durability

Balanced consideration of this multi-functionality often makes natural fibre insulation the superior choice.
