Wood fiber insulation
Wood fiber insulation was introduced twenty years ago to recycle the use of timber waste. Engineers made insulation from that waste.
Isolated wood fibers derived from the successful state of the attractive environment along with a bag full of tasks that include rigid insulation, and packaging and breathable wood frames, ceilings and floors, as well as flexible insulation for posts and beams.
We know that wood is renewable materials. Wood takes carbon during its entire life and gives pollution free product. The insulation value of wood fiber boards is not as good as some of the orthodox petro-chemical materials – but it’s no slouch either – typically coming in with a ‘k value’ range of between 0.038-0.043 W/mK depending on format. That high u-values are obtainable can be seen from such as an example as the ‘Larch House’, the social housing prototype designed by Bere Architects which won Passivhaus certification – achieved, in part, using wood fibre insulation.
One more advantage of this is its ‘breathability’ that helps to maintain the moisture and density of material. Which helps in summer.
It should be noted that manufacturers tend to market the wall or “systems” including roof insulation, as well as components of other elements. Feature to consider is that using this type of construction have already been ‘tried and tested.
