The Knauf Earthwool wall range is a new generation of softer, safer and more environmentally friendly glasswool insulation for your home.

This range comes in multiple R-values and thicknesses, perfect for a wide variety of homes.
Ceiling Insulation
With a wide range of R-values to choose from, the ceiling batts are great for multipurpose use, thus making the Knauf Earthwool ceiling range very versatile. The R-values range from R2.5 to R6.0, allowing you to achieve a high thermal performance and protection. Similar to the wall batts, the ceiling range is made from recycled materials and is formaldehyde free, meaning it is super soft and easy to install. The ceiling batts also offer acoustic properties and helps stop the transmission of unwanted noise. As mentioned above, these insulation batts are versatile, and can not only be installed in the ceiling, but also in the walls for a higher R-value rating. This product is best suited for a range of customers, from builders and developers, to DIY fans and contractors.
Acoustic Insulation
Designed to limit the transmission of outside noise into the home and between rooms, the acoustic batts from Knauf Earthwool offer supreme acoustic and thermal properties.

It fits snugly in a standard 90mm wall cavity and can also be installed in ceilings where the building is located beneath a flight path. In such cases it can be installed alone or if a higher r-rating is required, in combination with an additional layer of thermal insulation.
With the benefits mentioned above, it is important to note that all Earthwool products are also fire-safe and non-combustible. This added benefit is important in ensuring the safety of your family and your home. The benefits of using Knauf Earthwool make it hard not to choose Earthwool for your next project.
