HEALTHY LIVING WITH
WOOD FIBRE INSULATING MATERIALS
HIGH-QUALITY INSULATION. SUSTAINABLE LIVING.

Preamble
THE EXAMPLE OF NATURE
Sustainable living to us means harnessing the forces of nature, using natural resources to create a healthy living
environment lasting well into the future. Our major accomplishments are based on nature’s examples.
HOMATHERM® insulating materials exploit these capacities for intelligent building solutions. A new technical
mindset is based on detailed examination of natural raw materials and in-depth investigation into the demands
of modern architecture.
Natural HOMATHERM® insulating materials are adapted to the constantly changing demands of modern construction as successfully as life is adapting to new circumstances.

VERSATILE SOLUTIONS
AVAIL YOURSELF OF NATURE‘S ADVANTAGES
Use wood and cellulose materials to achieve
both high quality and sustainable insulation.
We offer you solutions for insulation using:
flexible insulating batts
compression resistant insulation boards
loose insulating fill (flocs)

The utilisation of buildings is as multifaceted as their design. Yet one demand remains: The insulation must offer
optimal protection. This is not possible, however, using only standard solutions.
HOMATHERM® has developed a suitable product to satisfy each of the various demands: Flexible wood fibre
or cellulose insulating batts, clampable, form-fitting and without gaps, flocs with excellent flow properties and
the compression resistant wood fibre insulation boards which can double as emergency roofing. Products with
excellent properties in terms of building physics and an innovative concept – all under one roof.

HIGH-GRADE INSULATION FOR HEALTHY LIVING
Contemporary insulation systems such as the on-roof insulation system or the EnergiePlus composite thermal
insulation system offer more than just protection from summer’s heat. Optimal thermal protection in winter,
saving you significant energy costs, is as significant as top acoustic and moisture protection figures. Allowing you
to create new living and working standards.
WOOD PROTECTS
The concern of fire protection is raised every time, especially for
natural materials such as wood and cellulose.
Wood can burn – that is correct. But more importantly: Wood is more
resistant to fire than many other building materials. To offer you the
best possible protection, HOMATHERM® insulating materials are
impregnated for fire protection, using flame retardant mineral salts
also used in fertilisers.

HOMATHERM® will demonstrate the difference: Not only do you clearly
save on heating costs over the cold months, but you will sleep cooler in
summer thanks to optimal protection from heat – and you will also enjoy
peace and quiet all year round thanks to maximum acoustic protection,
conducive to life-long healthy living with ecological insulating materials.

FOR A NEW QUALITY OF LIFE
HOMATHERM® protects not only from cold and heat but also from noise. Acoustic damping depends on the
type of construction also. For wall structures, we measure the airborne sound damping coefficient, i.e. how many
decibels emitted by a source of noise the wall will “swallow”.

Saving energy is a must.
For economic reasons and

At up to 66 dB acoustic insulation, this very effectively dampens the noise level of e.g. a road with heavy traffic,
rendering the living areas pleasantly quiet.
