Nonwovens producer Sandler AG has received the building inspectorate approval of the German Institut für Bautechnik (Institute for Construction Technology) for its environment-friendly polyester nonwovens of the fibercomfort product line that provide a textile alternative for efficient heat insulation, in January 2015.

The approval verifies the nonwovens’ applicability within the scope of the state building regulations. In this sense, the Sandler nonwovens can be used for insulation between the rafters, interior insulation of walls and the roof as well as insulation of partition walls, according to DIN 4108-10, which focuses on heat insulation and energy conservation in buildings, the company said in a statement.

Fibercomfort nonwovens are available in different formats and product thicknesses, offering individual solutions for insulation. They are lightweight, flexible yet robust and therefore easy to handle, providing optimum heat insulation for decades. Owing to their low thermal conductivity they insulate efficiently and dampen sound at the same time—for a comfortable, quiet atmosphere. The need for heating is permanently reduced, saving both costs and energy.

The nonwovens are 100 per cent polyester materials manufactured without chemical additives. The nonwovens can be used for clothing and are gentle on the skin, do not pose any health risks, and are an excellent alternative for people suffering from allergies. They are also fully recyclable after use and can be re-used as raw materials in the future. The nonwovens panels are also partly made from recycled fibres themselves, a sustainable alternative for renovation and new buildings alike.

Efficient heat insulation creates rooms at a pleasant temperature and contributes to lowering the need for heating and thereby the energy consumption. (GK)
