What are the Earthwool Batts made of?

Knauf Earthwool insulation is made from Glasswool,  otherwise known as fibreglass. Like traditional glasswool insulation products, Earthwool also is made of recycled glass and sand.

The binding agent used in manufacturing Earthwool (Knauf's patented Ecosse technology, which is described as a Biobased technology) is what makes Earthwool differtent from other traditional glasswool products.

Insulation Batts Maintenance

Storage and handling of Earthwool batts are essential, and should not be neglected. The storage should always be indoors but in case outside storage is required, it should be, and batts should be standing off the ground like on a pallet.

Earthwool Insulation bags at all times must be covered with a waterproof plastic bag to avoid moisture and water. In case, the insulation gets damaged or wet, under no circumstances it should be installed. In case the surface of insulation becomes slightly wet, place it outside in sun and only use it once completely dried.
