Leading edge manufacturing is at the forefront of all the Knauf Insulation production locations. Our factories are equipped with the most advanced manufacturing and testing facilities in the world, supported by an ongoing research and development program.
The result is a track record for products with leading quality and consistency, exceptional thermal and acoustic performance, superior sustainability credentials, and reduced transportation and installation costs for our customers.
Our track record is driven by innovation
ECOSE® Technology
The development of patented ECOSE® Technology enables Knauf Insulation to offer glasswool with superior environmental credentials, which are also in full compliance with formaldehyde-free specifications. Products made with ECOSE® Technology are more sustainable and reduce binder embodied energy up to 70%.
Compression Packaging
A major benefit of glasswool is its ability to compress and ‘bounce back’ when unpacked. Knauf Insulation has high ratio ‘compression packaging’ technology for rolls and batts which reduces transport and handling costs for distributors and installers.
‘Super Soft‘ Handling
Glasswool is the world‘s most popular insulation product. The Knauf Insulation development team is dedicated to making the product even better. The ‘super soft’ feel of Knauf Insulation‘s new generation glasswool with ECOSE® Technology has resulted in an extraordinarily soft and easy to install product.
Blowing Wool
Knauf Insulation has led the development of blowing wool for upgrading the energy efficiency of existing masonry cavity walls and also for walls in new timber frame houses. Used extensively in the USA and Europe, this product will revolutionise the installation of insulation in Australia.
Recycled Glass Bottles
Glasswool from Knauf Insulation uses a high proportion of post-consumer recycled glass bottles and is one of the most sustainable types of insulation available. Each pack of glasswool from Knauf Insulation uses up to 15 recycled glass bottles.

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Our Mission:
To provide products and services that conserve energy in buildings and preserve natural resources for a sustainable future.
Our Vision:
We will be a leader in providing sustainable solutions for energy efficiency, productivity and comfort in the environments in which people live and work.
For us, sustainability means being able to meet the most important human needs of today without compromising our ability to meet the needs of tomorrow.
We view sustainability as a journey rather than a destination and are constantly researching innovations to enhance energy efficiency and reduce our impact on the environment.

The unique appearance and ‘super soft’ feel of EarthWool™ comes from ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary, new sustainable binder born from five years of intensive research. Made from rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than oil-based chemicals commonly used in other insulation products, ECOSE® Technology reduces binder embodied energy by up to 70%. Improving the already exceptional environmental credentials of traditional glasswool insulation, EarthWool™ is made using recycled glass bottles and is also compression packed to reduce transport emissions and stockist storage costs. It does not contain added formaldehyde, artificial colours or bleach and is as good as traditional glasswool insulation – only better… naturally!
Glasswool is the most widely used insulation product throughout the world – and for many good reasons. It is non-combustible, has high thermal performance, superb sound absorption and is outstanding value for money. It‘s a challenge to make something this good even better – but we‘ve done it!
Knauf Insulation‘s new EarthWool™ doesn‘t look or feel like any glasswool insulation you‘ve ever experienced. That‘s because the natural brown colour represents a level of sustainability and handling never before achieved. We didn‘t choose brown, it just came naturally.
EarthWool™: think of it as green… only browner.
EarthWool™ is naturally brown – containing no added phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colours. It is in full compliance with formaldehyde-free specifications.
EarthWool™ has a consistent surface, low dust and is easy to cut.
Knauf Insulation manufactures a full range of EarthWool™ products in various thicknesses, R-values and densities.
1. Introducing Knauf Insulation 7
Lab-tested, Mother Nature approved.
EarthWool™ products are BRANZ certified and in full compliance with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia.
EarthWool™ products also satisfy the most stringent requirements for bio-solubility.

“ All of my installers prefer Knauf Insulation. We have guys in the field who refuse to use anything else because they don’t get the results that they get with Knauf. It’s consistent, load after load after load. It cuts better and it’s less dusty. It’s easier to install. It’s neater and it looks better. Personally, Knauf Insulation is what I’d rather use on everything.”
“ As an insulation distributor, we rate Knauf as one of the finest suppliers we have. They provide a quality product, a good inventory and they make the distributor feel like a true partner. Whether it’s the service aspect of the business or packaging the product or the glasswool itself, every year it seems to get better. And of all the manufacturers I’ve dealt with, the Knauf Insulation people, by far, exhibit the highest level of integrity, character and loyalty. They’re just really great people. We learned a lesson from Knauf Insulation – if you treat everybody like your best customer, you’re going to retain your customers for life.”
At Knauf Insulation, we have a simple philosophy – we are committed to serving our customers better than anyone else can. We achieve this through our commitment to quality, innovation and environmental responsibility. We are recognised for the strength of our marketing support and loyalty by customers around the world.

Not only do durable Knauf Insulation Master Bags protect batts from damage, they are made stronger to stack higher, optimising warehouse space and providing a clean, safe, professional environment. And the translucent poly woven bags make products easy to identify.
The improved compression of Master Bags provides you with more square metres of product per bag, which means more square metres per truckload and fewer trips between the job site and the warehouse. And by maintaining their shape and configuration, Master Bags are easier to move around a job site, whether you’re carrying them by hand or using a forklift or clamp truck.

Description
Knauf Insulation EarthWool™ Sound Control Batts are made from highly resilient, inorganic glass fibres bonded by ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary new binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. ECOSE® Technology reduces Knauf Insulation binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colours found in traditional glasswool insulation.
Application
Knauf Insulation EarthWool™ Batts provide a cost-effective thermal and acoustic barrier for energy-efficient construction. The batts’ consistent quality, low dust and clean-cutting resilient fibres make fabrication easy and installation fast.
Light Commercial Applications
Knauf Insulation EarthWool™ is available in a range of thicknesses. EarthWool™ can improve Rw ratings in wood stud construction by 3 to 5 points and in metal stud construction by 8 to 10 points, depending on the complexity of the wall configuration and the thickness/density of the insulation. EarthWool™ can be used for exterior and interior walls, floors, crawlspaces and a variety of ceiling applications.
Knauf Insulation EarthWool™ is a new generation of ‘super soft’ and highly sustainable glasswool. Knauf Insulation EarthWool™ provides an excellent acoustical solution for residential and commercial buildings. These products reduce unwanted noise from outside and limit sound transmission from room to room or office to office. They provide a cost-effective acoustic barrier for energy-efficient construction, including treatments to walls, ceilings and floor assemblies. Installation of Knauf Insulation EarthWool™ products is very easy, due to the superior quality, low dust and friendly feel.

Knauf Insulation Reflective Foil Products For Walls
Knauf Insulation offers a range of reflective foil products for wrapping external timber frame walls to prevent internal heat gain from radiated sunlight. The range includes separate reflective foil products for use as a ‘vapour control layer’ or as a ‘breathable layer’ and also has options for either light or heavy duty depending on site conditions.
For maximum energy efficiency and to prevent heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter through convection and conduction, Knauf Insulation recommend the use of reflective foil with bulk insulation such as EarthWool™.
