Why ECOSE® technology, recycled content and a softer fibre make Earthwool the modern standard.
The binder makes the difference
Traditional glasswool uses phenol-formaldehyde binders, which give the product its yellow colour and that familiar itch. Earthwool uses ECOSE® Technology, a bio-based binder made from rapidly renewable materials with no added formaldehyde, phenols or acrylics.
Softer to handle
Earthwool has a softer, less dusty fibre, so it's more comfortable to install — a real advantage for DIYers and trades working in tight roof spaces. You should still wear gloves, a mask and eye protection.
Recycled content and sustainability
Earthwool is made with a high proportion of recycled glass and is compression-packed, meaning more product per truck and lower transport emissions.
Performance
Thermal and acoustic performance is equivalent to or better than traditional glasswool at the same R-value. It's also non-combustible and won't rot or support vermin.
