LINEN INSULATION PROPERTIES

Available in roll- and plate(slab)form and manufactured in an airlaid process for three-dimensional stability.

Roll dimensions (thickness*width*length):

30mm & 50mm*565mm*10m, 75mm*565mm*7.5m, 100mm & 125mm*565mm*5m
100mm & 125mm*865mm*5m
100mm & 125mm*1165mm*5m

Plate dimensions (thickness*width*length):

50mm & 75mm & 100mm & 125mm & 150mm*565mm*1170mm
100mm & 125mm & 150mm*870mm*1170mm
50mm & 100mm & 150mm*415mm*1170mm

Thanks to its flexibility, the ISO-R 30mm thick linen insulation blanket is specifically suited for extra insulating uneven old log walls, and is installed directly against the logs.
It is recommended to use a breathing material as interior panelling, such as porous wood fibreboard.

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES

• biodegradable and disposable
• low load on the environment
  
  • no pollution of air and water,
  • no emission of harmful chemicals like formaldehydes,
    isocyanates, organohalogens, (H)CFCs, etc.
  • total process: good energy balance
• the annually regrowing crop is an inexhaustible resource that does not contribute to global warming.
  even better; during its growth it converts the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂) into oxygen (O₂).

APPLICATION ADVANTAGES

• roll form reduces the amount of seams (points of heat loss)
  and speeds up installation process (one piece from ceiling to floor)
• roll form is an excellent solution, specifically for older buildings with varying joist widths,
  where it is necessary to cut pieces of different sizes
• plate form can be easier to handle in places difficult to reach
• no need to wear various inconvenient personal protection means
  to avoid irritation of the eyes, skin and lungs
• areas need not be forced ventilated during installation.

PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES

• very good thermal and acoustical insulating properties
• flax insulation offers excellent temperature buffering characteristics,
  resulting in gradual temperature changes for a comfortable indoor living climate
• very good “breathing” properties due to its hollow-fibre composition
  which can have beneficial effects on surrounding constructions as well.
