INSULATION

An introduction by way of introducing Knauf and the INSULATION factor and how their ideals fit in with those of the Superhome Movement. Being careful to avoid to repeat too much what is written on the actual Knauf website – the focus will be on the Knauf Insulation details and the environmental impact etc. Follow this with some KEY BULLET POINTS OUTLINING THE BENEFITS / KEY FACTORS RE KNAUF PRODUCTS... Below examples are purely INDICATORS for what we might say.

Glasswool solutions – contributing not just to thermal comfort, but to fire safety, sustainability, occupant health and peace and quiet as well.

Knauf's Mineral Wool, made with ECOSE Technology, contains no added formaldehyde or phenol. This means that the insulation generates very low levels of dust, increasing the comfort of those handling it. ECOSE Technology makes the insulation soft to touch and easy to handle. Earthwool®  glasswool products are DECLARE red-list free, ensuring they’re free from harmful chemicals that pose risks to human health.

Changes to the New Zealand Building Code clause, H1 Energy Efficiency, represents the most significant advancements in energy efficiency witnessed in the past decade. Knauf Insulation have developed a full range of products to meet the requirements and compliment the systems required to achieve efficient cost effective solutions.

A wide range of insulation for use in roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors in new and existing homes, commercial buildings and industrial applications. Knauf's solutions have evolved from many years of experience and market leading research and development.

Need to elaborate on this - quite an important part of the SUPERHOME DESIGN GUIDE - which of course includes the SUPER RENO GUIDE...

VIDEO POTENTIAL (Could be an initial introduction - or/and a series of videos that can be added on a regular basis?)

POTENTIAL LINKS / PRODUCTS

Below is just an idea of what the page could look like. The idea being links to specific areas of specific interest, it may be actual products etc. Obviously with the Superhome perspective as opposed to a too obvious sales plug (although that will be an advantageous by product!)


INSULATION | INSIDE / OUSIDE


CEILINGS & ROOFS


INSULATION SOLUTIONS


This could be quite substantial - The SuperReno Guide is a big part of the Superhome Design Guide and I'm sure there will be a big interest in what INSULATION considerations regarding renovations are available and recommended by Knauf. This would also suit a photo/caption format, with various problems and solutions explained with suitable photos/diagrams and caption explaining them.

Also a potential for a CASE STUDY of a RENOVATION

INCLUDING NEW ZEALAND'S 1st ZERO-CARBON SUPERHOME

This could be quite a major section re the INSULATION of this ground-breaking development, and Knauf's participation in the project. This could act as an INSUALTION case study, backed up with potential video element from the company and installation shots etc. Obviously Knauf's input would feature on the 6th December's pop-up tour and I'm sure Knauf's presence on the day of the Tour/Expo would benefit both Superhome and Knauf...
