Knauf Insulation has
launched its new Solutions Guide to make specifying the right insulation for
every application quicker and easier than ever before.
The guide features the
company’s extensive range of non-combustible, high-performance insulation
ordered by application. This means customers, including architects and
specifiers, can identify which products are best suited for roofs, walls,
floors and fire protection.
Product data detailing
features and benefits are then listed in full at the back of the Solutions
Guide.
Steve Smith, Head of
Product Management and Business Intelligence at Knauf Insulation said: “It has
never been so important for architects and specifiers to specify the right
insulation for the project.
"As the only
manufacturer of both Glass and Rock Mineral Wool, we are uniquely placed to
recommend the best insulation solution for each application. Our new Solutions
Guide is designed to showcase which of our products is best suited for each of
the different build elements of their designs.”
“Within the product
section, we have added a handy dial rating system. This allows readers to see
at a glance each product’s thermal and acoustic performance, Euroclass Reaction
to Fire classification and BRE Green Guide rating for sustainability.”
Knauf Insulation’s
Technical Support Team is on hand to provide further advice on regulations,
products and energy performance. They can also provide U-value calculations,
NBS clauses and 3D Heat Loss/U-value Calculations. CAD and BIM files are also
available.
In addition to the
product and application sections, the Solutions Guide also includes information
about Knauf Insulation’s extensive sustainability credentials.
Knauf Insulation’s
glass mineral wool products contain up to 80% recycled materials – the vast
majority of which is the glass cullet from Veolia's glass recycling facility
next door to its St Helens plant. This whole process saves on raw materials and
energy demands, cuts carbon emissions, and reduces waste going to landfill.
Most of Knauf
Insulation’s mineral wool products are manufactured using ECOSE® Technology,
its patented sustainable bio-based binder that contains no added phenol or
formaldehyde. As a result, products made using ECOSE® Technology are 70% less
energy intensive than mineral wool products made using traditional
formaldehyde-based binders, further reducing their ecological footprint. They
are also odourless, softer to touch and have the best possible Eurofins Gold
Certificate for Indoor Air Comfort, contributing to a high level of indoor air
quality.
The company even
compresses its final products, which means less packaging used, fewer lorries
on the roads and reduced transport carbon emissions.
