Description
Knauf Earthwool R2.0 HD Acoustic Insulation
Knauf Earthwool Sound Shield Acoustic insulation is specifically designed to reduce the transmission of external noise into the home. While they are traditionally used in external walls, they are also highly effective in reducing sound transmission between rooms and offices. Our customers often request R2.0 thermal and acoustic insulation for two main reasons:
- They require an R-Value of 2.0 but have limited wall cavity space of 70 or 75mm, which is smaller than the standard R2.0 thickness of 90mm.
- They want to minimize the amount of noise transferred from outside to inside the home or reduce the noise level within the home.
The Knauf Earthwool Acoustic Insulation Batt range is an innovative and eco-friendly glasswool insulation option for your home. This new generation of softer and safer insulation offers excellent acoustic insulation properties for homeowners who want to save on power bills, maintain a stable indoor temperature, and soundproof their home. The Earthwool Acoustic Wall Insulation Batts are especially designed for DIY installation and are available in different thicknesses to fit 75mm, 90mm, and 140mm timber and metal frames.

Manufacturing Of Earthwool Insulation Batts
Knauf Earthwool batts, like other glasswool products, are made using recycled glass bottles and have been ranked as more environmentally friendly than real sheep’s wool by the UK’s Green Guide for Specification. The product features a unique binder that contains no formaldehyde and is based on renewable bio-based materials rather than traditional petroleum-based chemicals. The look and feel of Knauf Earthwool insulation sets it apart from other brands, and many first-time users are surprised to learn that it is made of glasswool.
Knauf Insulation has invested significantly in new “ECOSE” technology to significantly reduce the itch factor associated with glasswool. One of the secrets behind this reduction is the longer strands of insulation used. Longer strands mean fewer overall strands, and fewer strands mean fewer tiny, protruding ends that can cause the well-known itchiness that many people experience when working with inferior insulation products.
