Steico Protect Dry

The STEICO Group, headquartered in Feldkirchen near Munich, is the world‘s largest manufacturer of ecological wood fibre insulating materials. For decades STEICO insulation materials have been used to protect buildings around the world against cold, heat, humidity and wind.

STEICO wood fibre insulation materials are manufactured exclusively from fresh, untreated coniferous wood from sustainable forestry.

STEICO provides suitable boards for various requirements and working methods in small and large formats as well as with square edges or with tongue and groove.

Due to the high strength properties of STEICO wood fibre insulation boards, they are particularly suitable for use in timber frame construction. The vapour open properties of the wood fibre insulation boards and the render systems enable wall constructions with a high evaporation potential.

Steico Protect Dry is a natural render/plaster carrying wood fibre insulation board with a tongue and groove profile manufactured in accordance with EN 13171.

Designed both as an external sheathing board for timber frame constructions or for direct to masonry applications in external wall insulation systems where the render is applied directly to the board.

It is also used as an internal plaster carrying board for direct fixing to masonry and timber frames without the need for a supporting backer board.
