Why choose EdenBloc35?
EdenBloc35 has many benefits that make it the first choice when it comes to performance and sustainability. Sheep's wool is one of the most technically complex fibres in use. Not only does wool provide natural thermal insulation but the chemical structure of the keratin fibres allows the insulation to absorb moisture and fix harmful airborne substances, helping EdenBloc35 contribute to a healthy indoor environment.
High Performance...
- Thermal conductivity of 0.035 W/mK providing better insulation performance than any other natural insulation.
- Vapour permeable and breathable ensuring EdenBloc35 acts in sympathy with the building envelope and making it an ideal choice for use in breathable building systems.
- Excellent acoustic absorption properties due to the density and structure of EdenBloc35.
- Eliminates thermal bridging factors by creating a continuous sheet of insulation.
- EdenBloc35 boards can be fixed back to walls or timbers reducing the complexity of the structure.
- EdenBloc35 is composed almost entirely of protein based fibres that are more resistant to combustion than cellulose fibres which eliminates the need for high loadings of fire retardants.
- EdenBloc35 contains no organic insecticides and is completely safe to handle and easy to cut.
- Absorbs and fixes airborne pollutants including formaldehyde due to the chemical binding capacity of the protein fibres, helping contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
Low Impact...
- Locally manufactured in the UK in a purpose built factory in Cumbria, minimising transport impacts to site.
- EdenBloc35 contains more than 60% recycled content, mainly waste wool from the carpet industry.
- EdenBloc35 contains no synthetic binders and it can be safely utilised at the end of its service life.
- Low carbon footprint, low embodied energy of manufacture and locks up nearly twice its weight in CO2.
- Generates sizable energy savings and CO2 reductions in service.
- EdenBloc35 is composed of renewable, naturally derived materials and contains no organic pesticides.
- Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP).
- Safe to re-use or recycle and suitable for energy recovery or composting at the end of life.
- Durability provides reliable long term energy efficiency for buildings.
