Insulation
 Cork
Tile
A range of cork tiles available in differing
thicknesses and colours, although the natural coloration is by far
the most popular. Extremely lightweight and sustainably harvested
from a renewable source, cork is a great material for interior wall
surfacing. Some of the cork produced is impregnated with a resinous
binder to improve the durability of the material and this has an interesting
impact on the overall aesthetic.

 Flax
Insulation
A natural
insulation material made from 100% flax fibres. Matted together into
a non-woven matting, which can then be laid down in lofts or inserted
into wall cavities.
 Straw
Insulation Panels
A lightweight, biodegradable insulating panel made from compressed
straw with a recycled cardboard skin. The panels can also double up
as partition walls due to their robust nature, and therefore are a
must see for anyone considering low-impact dwellings.
Acousticel®
An
acoustic insulation material made from 100% recycled rubber. The rubber
comes from old
car tyres and is broken down into small strips to make this non-woven
sheet material.
 Claytec®
A
building block made from a mix of unfired clay, a woven Jute textile
and bamboo. The lattice of jute and bamboo give the clay panel good
structural integrity whilst reducing the weight. This material is
generally used in low-impact housing applications, for internal partitioning.
The material has great acoustic and thermal insulation properties.
However the concept of sun-baked clay building materials has been
around for millennia and could surely transcend the
small-scale shelter.
 Fermacell®
A multipurpose tough fibreboard made
from gypsum. It is reinforced
and
resilient to moisture which makes it highly durable. The material
has great acoustic and thermal insulation properties whilst being
fireproof .
 Rastra®
This material is essentially a customisable
breeze-block or lightweight concrete. It achieves this lightness by
the cement compound being foamed along with a dosage of small foam
chips which are added during the moulding stage. These weight saving
measures also help to reduce the amount of material that is actually
being consumed allowing the designer to achieve more with less.
Warmcel®
An insulating material made from 100% recycled newspaper. The insulation
is 'sprayed' into cavity walls on-site. Warmcel® increases the
energy efficiency of buildings without the further consumption of
natural resources.
