As we move towards a more sustainable future, Bauder is on a journey to lowering the embodied carbon of its PIR insulation for flat roof construction.

The government has unveiled its new £1bn ECO+ scheme offering home insulation to the least energy efficient homes in the lower council tax bands.

Insulation manufacturer Rockwool has issued technical guidance to specifiers, architects and contractors on the use of bonded construction materials and their Euroclass reaction-to-fire rating.

A group of contractors has called for a ban on the use of polyisocyanurate (PIR)-based insulation for internal applications.

A key figure in construction’s Industry Safety Steering Group has urged the sector to stay vigilant on product safety.

Patented technology delivers improved thermal performance while maintaining non-combustibility and acoustic capabilities.

Scientists at the University of Göttingen in Germany have developed a process of using popcorn to make sustainable building insulation and have agreed a licence with the German building material specialist Bachl Group to commericalise it.
