Knauf Insulation: Real Performance - Today and Tomorrow

LONDON, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Knauf Insulation will once again lead the way in terms of design, innovation and expert advice at this year's Ecobuild, London Excel. The stand will showcase multiple solutions for all applications with products that are sustainable in their manufacture, helping to protect the world for the future.

Never has there been a more significant time for specifiers, housebuilders, contractors and installers to fully understand the products and solutions available for both new build and refurbishment, to fall in line with legislative demands. To meet the requirements of Part L and the Code for the Sustainable Homes, and integral to the success of the Green Deal, it is clear a fabric first approach is crucial to saving carbon emissions - and insulation is by far one of the easiest and cheapest means of reducing energy use.

Visitors to stand N720 will be able to see for themselves the comprehensive portfolio of insulation solutions available for roofs, walls and floors; all of which have been developed to current Building Standards and beyond offering outstanding performance. So important for users, Knauf Insulation has incorporated this invaluable data into its Insulation Solutions for Buildings Manual 2012 edition, which visitors will be able to register for at the show.

In addition, Knauf Insulation will be holding live demonstrations and practical presentations on all refurbishment solutions on stand N1660: encompassing solid wall; both Internal and External Wall Insulation Systems, cavity wall, suspended timber floor and loft solutions in the Renew section of the north hall.

Lydia Sharples, Head of Communications at Knauf Insulation comments: "We are looking forward to the next Ecobuild show - last year's event was very successful and once again, we have the opportunity to address every possible insulation query and application.  Our expert representatives will be able to give advice on innovative solutions that are compliant now with Building Regulations and the new Code for Sustainable Homes, as well as hosting a Green Deal Exchange.  This will include leading industry partners being on hand to discuss the Green Deal to exchange ideas and thoughts and also exchange contact details with organisations, which will be integral to the Green Deal. Partners include certification bodies, assessors, installers, training organisations, funding partners, distributors, end users, and manufacturers.  

"Ecobuild 2012 also gives us the opportunity to re-confirm our stance as the only manufacturer of insulation that uses a formaldehyde-free binder technology, based on rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals - the revolutionary ECOSE^® Technology. It is free from formaldehyde, phenols, acrylics, no artificial colours, bleach or dyes are added and it reduces embodied energy, helping to deliver superior environmental sustainability further."

As the UK's leading manufacturer of insulation products, and the only producer of four types of insulation: Earthwool^®, encompassing glass and rock mineral wool, extruded polystyrene (XPS) under the Polyfoam^® brand name and extruded polyethylene (XPE), Knauf Insulation is unsurpassed in its position to offer unbiased, sound advice on all areas of product application, whether it be for commercial, residential or refurbishment sectors.
