When we built a house, around fifteen years ago, we weren’t really concerned about the ecological side, the main thing was that it was solid! It was the time of concrete, concrete blocks and glass wool, materials that we now know are very polluting. The climate emergency as well as new thermal regulations are encouraging manufacturers to rethink and reinvent materials. And that is precisely what Knauf Insulation, a leader in the field of insulation, is doing by launching an innovative product called KI Therm 030, an ultra-high-performance insulation which could become a benchmark for future constructions. What is this new material? I immediately invite you to discover it.
The KI Therm 030 to meet current standards
The KI Therm 030 P is an innovative glass mineral wool insulation paneldesigned to provide exceptional thermal performance. Its reinforced density and semi-rigid composition make it a practical and effective material for insulating interior walls, sloping roofs or ceilings. Thanks to its ECOSE® technology, based on a plant-based binder, this insulation is environmentally friendly while guaranteeing optimal installation comfort. Ultimately, it combines thermal and acoustic insulation, and meets current insulation standards.
Thermal performance worthy of the best insulators
Knauf Insulation’s KI Therm 030 stands out for its very low thermal conductivity, displaying a lambda value of 0.030 W/(m·K), compared to 0.040 W/(m·K) for glass wool, for example. This value places it among the best insulators on the market in terms of resistance to cold. In addition, the material is also one of the most versatile, it can be used in new constructions, as well as on renovation sites. Its great versatility is also confirmed in the places it can be isolated. Thus, it can be used for interior walls, of course, and also to insulate attics or even floors. Finally, and this is also very important, it is also a material which will insulate you from external noise. In renovation, this is of capital importance, because the walls can be very thin, and therefore poorly insulated acoustically, or very thick, and therefore difficult to insulate from the cold.
Ecological materials have a bright future ahead of them!
By developing the KI Therm 030, the company is responding to ecological standards, but also to a growing consumer trend. Ecological materials are the most popular, and this one, made from recycled materialsperfectly meets customer expectations. In addition, the low thermal conductivity of this product helps reduce the energy consumption of buildings, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
And, saving money on heating or air conditioning is also, currently, a key point in the construction or renovation of a home.
