One of the newest and most forward-thinking factories producing wood fibre products in Europe. On the 21st of September we were invited to the NaturHeld factory in Oberpfalz (Northern Bavaria), near Nuremburg to visit their €250m wood fibre insulation production…
In this episode we discuss, why we like a big eaves overhang? Beyond the look, a deeper overhang keeps walls sheltered, helps finishes last longer and protects windows and sills from driving rain, while cutting down splashback at the base…
Heatwaves are no longer unusual in the UK, and buildings designed to keep heat in during winter often struggle to keep it out in summer. Chris and Andy work through what helps, from simple shading and night purging to airtightness,…
When designing wall constructions or retrofitting existing walls, there are many areas to consider but one issue that people are recommended to prevent is allowing the formation of Interstitial Condensation. Interstitial condensation can occur in all building elements (walls, roofs…
In this episode of the ‘Can I Just Ask?’ series; Chris and Andy take on flat roofs, the most moisture sensitive roof construction there is, and the three ways we specify them with wood fibre. The ventilated build is the…
Watch this episode of ‘Can I Just Ask?’ to find out how to replace windows after internal wall insulation has already gone in. Ideally the existing building is made retrofit ready first, with the windows upgraded before any insulation work.…
In this video we look at what happens to internal wall insulation when a property floods. The real problem isn’t the water itself, it’s what the water brings in with it, and that changes what has to happen to the…

A tight retrofit budget means you can’t tackle everything at once, so knowing where wood fibre insulation earns its place first really matters. It’s one of the most common questions we get asked when someone’s approaching a project, and the…
NatureWall is now HolzCore – see the HolzCore system page After over 6 years of developing and honing the specification and the components within the HolzCore internal wall insulation system and 18 months of to-and-fro with KIWA, we are really…
We scour the markets looking for new and innovative products and whilst we find some in the UK, quite often they lack the testing and technical documentation required for us to incorporate them in to our specifications. Thankfully, that has…
