Knauf insulation boasts Ecose Technology, which means that it is manufactured from rapidly renewable natural materials instead of petroleum and bonded using a bio-based technology that is free from phenols, acrylics, and it has no added formaldehyde, artificial colours, bleach or dyes.

Better indoor air quality: Due to the fact that insulation stands as a barrier between you and the outdoor world, it helps keep irritating allergens and environmental pollutants out of the air circulating around your home – ensuring better indoor air quality.

Prevents noise pollution: Insulation will not act as a complete sound barrier, but it will definitely help reduce the volume of external noise. It will also work the other way around – allowing you to turn up the music inside your home, without disturbing your neighbours.
