Bio-based insulation: overview and uses

Bio-based insulation is made from plant materials: wood fibre, wood wool, hemp, cellulose, cork, straw. Besides insulating against cold, it protects well against summer heat and keeps walls breathable.

Key selection criteria

  • Insulation type: wood fibre, hemp, cellulose, cork…
  • Thermal resistance R (the higher, the better) and lambda conductivity.
  • Thermal lag: the time summer heat takes to cross the wall, a strength of dense wood-fibre boards.
  • Format (rigid or flexible board, roll, loose fill) and fire rating.
