About Knauf Earthwool
Knauf Earthwool takes the benefits of traditional mineral wool loft insulation and improves them with
Ecose technology. This technology is a
revolutionary bio-based binder technology
that produces brown insulation without
the need for any dyes. It reduces embodied
energy
and
delivers
superior
environmental sustainability. Using a biobased binder also means that this
insulation is much softer, which makes it
easier to handle and fit. Earthwool also
delivers all the benefits of traditional
mineral wool. It gives outstanding acoustic
performance, absorbing and helping
reduced unwanted noise. This insulation
also offers the same levels of thermal
resistance and superb energy efficiency as
mineral wool. It has an unbeatable A1 fire
classification meaning that it is noncombustible, for that added peace of mind.
Earthwool is made from recycled glass bottles and can be recycled again when it comes to needing to
be replaced. The energy saved by one roll in its lifetime can be over 1500 times the energy used to
produce it!
