Natural Insulation

Buildings account for around 50% of UK energy use and up to 46% of CO2 emissions. It is therefore essential to improve the energy efficiency of new buildings and to improve the insulation standards within existing buildings. Natural home insulations can be at least as efficient as conventional insulations, but have the added advantages of being:

• - Effective in high relative humidity, unlike glass fibre insulation
• - Moisture regulating, often reducing condensation problems
• - Safe to handle without protective equipment – non-toxic and non-irritant
• - Produced using a fraction of the energy used to produce glass fibre or foam insulation
• - Low environmental impact
• - Produced using renewable, recyclable resources
