What it means to “build better” is different for everyone; it can refer to reaching sustainability goals, finding more efficient ways to meet building codes, utilizing advanced building technologies, or increasing overall building durability and resilience.
However you define “building better” for your specific project, wood fiber insulation adds a whole new meaning. What have largely been singular achievements – like reducing a building’s carbon footprint or designing for greater energy efficiency – can now be collectively attained with wood fiber insulation.
From our US-based manufacturing facility, TimberHP produces three wood fiber insulation products: TimberBatt, TimberFill, and TimberBoard, and all three support a strong performance and sustainability narrative, having been used in everything from historic retrofits to Passive House construction.
Once you understand what wood fiber insulation is, the question becomes: “How will it help me build better?”
For specifiers and installers: This article explains how wood fiber insulation is changing the way we think about construction and the standards that guide product decisions.
You’ll learn how wood fiber insulation:
- satisfies building codes while delivering certified performance backed by decades of proven use.
- solves common challenges and issues experienced with more traditional insulation solutions.
- helps you meet important project goals, whether related to sustainability or performance.
Building Trust: Codes, Compliance, & Performance
Delivering on the Core Requirements for Construction Materials
Insulation choice typically comes down to two preferences:
- Sticking with the long-used, often cheaper fiberglass and spray foam options that can get the job done sufficiently to meet code requirements and deliver on basic performance expectations.
- A desire to adopt more sustainable materials and find something healthy and renewable that’s easy to work with and won’t impact performance.
Wood fiber insulation satisfies the latter – and then some. Building better with wood fiber insulation is possible on multiple fronts because it’s a material that’s healthier, lowers carbon footprints, and delivers thermal and acoustic performance – naturally. We know how to build efficiently with the renewal resource of lumber; therefore, wood fiber insulation, the byproduct of lumber production, is a no brainer.
But beyond the physical (no itch!) and emotional (made in Maine) feel-good stories, wood fiber insulation also checks the boxes for the technical stuff too – meeting building codes and carrying the right certifications for compliance and performance requirements.
