Course Agenda

This course will cover the advantages of using STEICO  wood fibre insulation in construction. 

STEICO offers its customers ecological construction products from renewable raw materials and has been able to position itself in its thirty-year history as a system provider for ecological house building and innovation drivers. STEICO is actively driving the trend amongst architects and specifiers to select natural, breathable wood fibre solutions that meet the UK government’s ambition for healthy homes and buildings.

STEICO uses timber from sustainable forests which are managed under strict directives from the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) and PEFC®. Therefore STEICO offers the highest environmental standards from production right through to the end product.

We will show examples of different types of wood fibre insulation products including flexible batts, rigid boards and air injected insulation.

This course will look at the use of Wood Fibre boards in: New Build Construction & Roof Construction
