Harnessing the Power of Woodfibre

A Comprehensive Guide to Woodfibre Insulation Boards in Construction

Introduction

Woodfibre insulation boards have emerged as a prominent player in sustainable building, offering versatile solutions for enhancing buildings’ thermal performance while minimising environmental impact.

Below are the benefits and applications of wood-fibre insulation boards for walls, and roofs in internal and external solid wall insulation projects.

1. Woodfibre Insulation Boards for Walls

Woodfibre insulation boards are a great choice for insulating walls due to their excellent thermal performance and moisture-regulating properties. Whether used in internal or external wall insulation systems, these boards can help reduce heat loss, minimise thermal bridging, and create a more comfortable indoor environment. Wood fibre boards offer a sustainable solution for improving energy efficiency when retrofitting older buildings or constructing new ones.

2. WOODFIBRE INSULATION BOARDS FOR ROOFS

Woodfibre insulation boards are also well-suited for pitched and flat roofs. These boards offer great thermal insulation, breathability, and moisture regulation. Their hygroscopic properties help manage condensation risk, reducing the risk of mould, making them particularly suited to breathable roof systems when retrofitting older buildings or constructing new ones. Woodfibre boards are also compatible with most breathable membranes and natural building materials, making them a key component in sustainable and healthy construction practices.

3. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SOLID WALL INSULATION

Woodfibre insulation boards are suitable for internal and external solid wall insulation, offering flexibility in design and application. When applied internally, these boards can improve a building’s energy performance while preserving its exterior aesthetics. External insulation with woodfibre boards provides additional thermal protection and contributes to the structure’s overall sustainability.

4. RETROFIT AND NEW BUILD APPLICATIONS

Woodfibre insulation boards are versatile and suitable for various applications in retrofit and new-build projects.
