Wood-chip insulation


Wood-chip insulation
Natural insulation
Climate Chips® insulating material is made from wood chips, a major waste product obtained in local timber industries. Untreated wood chips are covered in a fine cement coat to guarantee fire- and fungi resistance. Climate Chips® are a blow-in or pour-in loose-fill for roofs, walls and ceilings, where they form a perfect insulating body without cavities or gaps. Climate Chips® keep living spaces cool in summer due to their high heat storage capacity, and provide effective sound insulation.
