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 bio-

based 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 non-

combustible, 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!
