Go lab takes this valuable byproduct grinds it into wool like fibers adds some adhesives and presses it into innovative highly efficient insulation. Rigid roof insulation board. It s light weight provides ease of handling. In terms of its basic properties a wood fibre board is comparable to wood possessing many of wood s best features.

The wood fiber is sold in panels rolls or loose material and is used for thermal and acoustic insulation in. See the cataloguethermal displacement. Install them using panel adhesive or screws. Composed of a closed cell polyisocyanurate foam core bonded in the foaming process to 1 2 thick duraboard an expanded perlite mineral aggregate board on one side and a fiber glass reinforced facer on the other.

Roofs walls ceilings floors. Strength toughness and warmth. Underlay for modern vinyl and design floors. Whether you are constructing a floor ceiling wall or roof the steico system provides a total building solution.

Working with home insulation boards insulation panels typically come in 4x8 foot sheets. For new construction use rigid boards to insulate slabs and the outside of foundation walls.

Benefits of wood fibre boards.

Notes to the table above. Rigid insulation boards made from natural wood fibres. Rigid natural wood fibre boards range in thermal conductivity from 0 04 to 0 05 w m2k and densities ranging from 70 to 270 kg m3. Wood is a renewable resource and a natural carbon sink.

Rosato asbestos insulation is the most authoritative source on asbestos properties and gives data for the thermal conductivity of asbestos in different forms and with varying temperatures for magnesia asbestos insulation at mean temperatures ranging from 100 f to 400 f the k value thermal. Wood fiber insulation is made from the mountains of clean residual wood chips that pile up daily at lumber mills. There are many different varieties and uses for gutex products but the general recipe for a gutex board is 95 spruce fir wood 1 paraffin and 4 pu resin making it a carbon negative material made from renewable resources that is a great alternative to mineral wool and foam insulation.
