EarthWool™ Foil Faced Roof Rolls
Description
Knauf Insulation’s EarthWool™ Roof Rolls are intended for both
thermal and acoustical applications, and have optional foil
facing. They are made from highly resilient, inorganic glass
fibres bonded by ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary
new binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials
rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals.
ECOSE® Technology reduces Knauf Insulation
binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde,
acrylics or artificial colours found in traditional glasswool
insulation.
Application
EarthWool™ Roof Rolls provide a
cost-effective thermal and acoustical barrier
for energy-efficient construction. Their consistent quality,
low dust, and clean-cutting resilient fibres make fabrication
easy and installation fast. EarthWool™ Roof Rolls can be used
in new and retrofit applications in residential and commercial
structures, as well as in off or on-site manufactured housing.
These applications include thermal and acoustical treatments to
metal and roof tile applications. The range of roof insulation can
be faced with standard foil laminates or they can be faced and cut
to length according to your specification.

ECOSE® Technology
Knauf Insulation’s EarthWool
products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a
formaldehyde-free binder made from rapidly renewable bio-based
materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals which is up to
70% less energy intensive. The technology has been developed for
Knauf Insulation’s glass and rock mineral wool
products, enhancing their environmental credentials
without affecting the thermal, acoustic or fire performance.
EarthWool™ products made with ECOSE® Technology contain
no dye or artificial colours– the colour is completely
natural.
