Earthwool ® glasswool
insulation: Commercial
rolls
Description
Earthwool glasswool: Commercial rolls are made using recycled glass and with
ECOSE ® Technology, a revolutionary binder based on rapidly renewable materials
instead of petro-based chemicals. ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied
energy and contains no added phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colours.
Application
Earthwool glasswool: Commercial rolls provide a cost effective thermal and
acoustic barrier for energy efficient construction. The consistent quality, low dust,
and clean-cutting resilient glasswool makes installation fast. Earthwool glasswool:
Commercial rolls can be used in timber and metal frame applications in residential
and commercial structures.
Knauf Insulation offers Earthwool glasswool insulation in a wide range of sizes and
R-Values. Earthwool glasswool insulation is highly resilient, recovering quickly to full
thickness. It also greatly reduces the transmission of noise in the home.
