The environmental approach in the building sector is becoming more and more important and the ecological approach in building is becoming a real trend. And when it comes to insulation, there is a lot of progress in the building sector. There are now many solutions available to benefit from high-performance insulation while respecting the environment as much as possible. This is what the company Envir, an expert in sustainable insulation, explains today.
What is an eco-responsible insulation?
Eco-responsible insulation materials are insulation devices made from natural materials. Unlike materials from the petrochemical industry, natural insulation materials have no (or almost no) polluting substances. In order to qualify an insulation as eco-responsible, several criteria are taken into account such as density, thermal conductivity, greenhouse gas emissions, etc.
What are the main eco-responsible insulations?
On the insulation market, many innovative materials are now available from insulation professionals such as Envir. And when it comes to eco-responsible insulation, there is no lack of choice. As an example, we can mention all the insulation materials made from wood such as wood wool. But we also find vegetable wool or terracotta. And the insulation that is currently the most successful is cellulose wadding, known for its excellent insulating performance.
When environment rhymes with performance
Choosing to opt for eco-responsible insulation does not mean that the insulation performance is diminished. On the contrary, it has been shown that eco-responsible insulation has a better resistance to humidity. And generally speaking, this type of insulation allows you to take advantage of good permeability to ensure optimal thermal comfort in your home, while respecting the environment.
