Earthwool^® CarbonZero Loft Roll 44

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll is a new generation of carbon neutral loft insulation made using patented ECOSE^® Technology. Although glasswool is already a highly sustainable product, we balance the effect of the carbon emitted from the manufacture and transport of the product with financial support for carbon reduction initiatives such as renewable energy and reforestation.

Description      

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll is a flexible, shot-free, unfaced, low density glass mineral wool quilt which is lightweight, flexible, resilient and non-combustible.

The rolls are 1140mm wide and partially perforated to produce either 2 rolls 570mm wide or 3 rolls 380mm wide.

Standards

Handling and Storage

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll is easy to handle and install, being lightweight and easily cut to size.

It is supplied in polythene packs which is designed for short term protection only.

For longer term protection on site, the product should be stored either indoors, or under cover and off the ground. Installation instructions are on every pack.

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll should not be left permanently exposed to the elements.

Application

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll is primarily used for the thermal insulation of pitched roofs at ceiling level.

However, it can also be used to thermally insulate floors and partitions, or wherever a lightweight mineral wool quilt is required.

When used to insulate at ceiling level it is usually laid in two layers, with the first layer between the joists and the second layer at right angles to the joists.

Environmental

ECOSE® Technology

Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a revolutionary, bio-based, formaldehyde-free binder technology, based on rapidly renewable materials, instead of petro-based chemicals. It reduces embodied energy and delivers superior environmental sustainability. 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. Insulation products made with ECOSE® Technology contain no dye or artificial colours – the colour is completely natural.

Thermal Performance

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll has a thermal conductivity of 0.044 W/mK.

Fire performance

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll is classified as Euroclass A1 to BS EN ISO 13501-1.

Permanence

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll is odourless, rot proof, non-hygroscopic, does not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria.

Vapour Resistivity

Earthwool CarbonZero Loft Roll offers negligible resistance to the passage of water vapour and has a vapour resistivity of 7.00 MN.s.g.m.
