As the UK pushes toward Net Zero, insulation that’s efficient, safe, and low-carbon matters. One standout is Knauf Glass Mineral Wool with ECOSE® Technology. At Carbon Zero Solutions Ltd, we install it across Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumbria, Yorkshire, and Northumberland — helping homeowners improve energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term value.

What Is Knauf Glass Mineral Wool?
Knauf insulation is made from recycled glass, sand, and minerals, spun into lightweight fibrous mats that offer strong thermal and acoustic performance. Its ECOSE® Technology — a plant-based binder with no added formaldehyde and low VOCs — improves indoor air quality and reduces embodied carbon.
Why We Recommend Knauf Insulation
- Sustainability that counts — High recycled content and reduced embodied carbon contribute to a circular manufacturing process.
- Thermal & acoustic performance — Excellent λ-values and long-term reliability when installed correctly.
- Fire safety — Non-combustible insulation (many achieve Euroclass A1), adding a layer of protection for your home.
- Healthier homes — ECOSE® binder supports cleaner air and safer living spaces.
- Compliance & documentation — Installed to Building Regulations Part L and supplied with a RICS-ready report.

Where Knauf Fits — and When It Doesn’t
Knauf Glass Mineral Wool is ideal for cold-roof lofts and cavity wall upgrades where breathable, deep coverage is best. For warm roofs or space-limited designs, we often specify Actis Hybris for top performance in thinner layers.
If your property has spray foam insulation, removal may be required before re-insulating — read our guide to safe spray foam removal.
