ECOSE helps you bring nature to your home!
What is ECOSE?
ECOSE Technology® by Knauf Insulation – technology by which we produce mineral wool insulation for your home. We use materials from nature and combine it with high percentage of recycled content – to get sustainable insulation products which provide:
Thermal insulation and fire protection
Contribute to indoor air quality and sound insulation
Allow your home to breathe and have perfect microclimate
Environmentally friendly & long lasting insulation
Learn how ECOSE controls the 4 elements of nature
Fire Protection
Did you know that it takes only 3 minutes for fire to catch a room completely?*
Fires in homes are very common today, because we are surrounded by highly flammable materials. Unfortunately, the consequences are often tragic. Can you do something about this when you build or renovate your home? Of course! What you need is the insulation material which will protect you in case of fire! It must be non-flammable, free of smoke hazards, flaming droplets and without emissions of toxic gasses. It must be ECOSE.
Thermal Insulation
Is your home hot in summer and gets even hotter as soon as you turn off the air conditioning?
Is it freezing in winter and cools immediately after you turn off the heating? Do you need to spend additional energy for heating in spring and autumn? If your answer is YES to any of the above questions – then you need proper insulation, which will be able to sustain stable temperature in your home during all seasons – to keep the heat out in summer and freezing air out in winter. You need ECOSE.

Indoor Air Quality
Before the pandemic, people used to spend as much as 90% of their time indoors!
Can you imagine how much we are spending now? Do you ever ask yourself, what is the quality of the space I am spending most of my time in? What is the quality of air I am breathing? We know all about air pollution outside, but did you know that indoor air can be even more polluted? This is all due to the materials which surround us inside – some of which contain and emit high levels of unpleasant smell and emissions (like furniture, carpets, curtains…). So – what can you do to control this? When choosing materials for your home – ask for ones that contain low emissions and thus do not pollute our indoor air additionally. This goes for construction materials as well, including insulation! When building or renovating a home – ask for materials with low VOC – volatile organic compounds – to be sure to have high-quality materials built-in your roof, walls, and floors. Ask for ECOSE.
Sound Insulation
Did you know that at least 20% of Europeans in urban areas are exposed to high levels of external noise pollution such as traffic, trains, industrial works, or construction drilling?
Noise is a severe and serious pollutant, and constant exposure to it can cause stress, sleeping disorders, and general health deterioration. Luckily, we can fight noise efficiently these days – whether it comes from the outside or inside of your space. And yes, you guess rightly – with proper sound insulation! And proper is ECOSE.
Vapour Permeability
Do you feel more comfortable in cotton/wool/linen fabrics, or in synthetic ones?
And why do you think this is? Natural materials are made of fibers and they ‘breathe’ – allowing your skin and body to breathe as well. Thus, the moisture you perspire can easily go through your natural material clothes and leave you comfortable. Now, can you imagine a house with insulation material on it? The same principle goes here – it needs material made of fibers to be able to breathe. It needs ECOSE.
Moisture Protection
Why is it important for a house to breathe?
Did you know that a person produces 400ml of vapor daily – only by breathing? Now multiply this by members of a family, add some cooking, showering, ironing, clothes washing, and drying. Imagine all that vapor! It has to go out, doesn’t it? Because if it stays in – we enter a vicious circle of condensation, mold, allergies, breathing problems… Therefore, be sure to obtain fiber mineral insulation for your home! Obtain ECOSE!
Environmentally Friendly
Are you also thinking more and more about the environment, human impact on it, recycling, sustainable development, and what small things you can do to treat the planet better?
Then you are in the right place! The same way you are thinking about your health and the ingredients you eat, you should be thinking about the materials you put in and on your house. They should be made from sustainable sources and production, healthy for you, your home, and your family.
Long-Lasting
The insulation we are providing comes from nature and looks like nature!
Not only is it good for your home, but it will last as long as your house lasts. It will not change its properties or dimensions over time. Because it is ECOSE.

WHAT MAKES ECOSE Technology® MINERAL WOOL DIFFERENT?
ECOSE Technology®, a no added formaldehyde binder innovation, was a significant
step change for the mineral wool industry when it was launched by Knauf Insulation
more than 10 years ago.
Our Mineral Wool with ECOSE Technology® is made without the addition of any
acrylics or artificial dyes. Brown color came out naturally from the production process.
Our products with ECOSE Technology® have been awarded the Indoor Air Comfort
Gold certificate by Eurofins as low emitting products and are certified according to EUCEB quality standards. This also contributes to a healthier manufacturing environment as our products are manufactured without adding formaldehyde, as well
as to a healthier home.
Glass mineral wool with ECOSE Technology® was very recently awarded DECLARE certificate – issued by an independent international body which guarantees that product is analyzed in details and contains no harmful or unhealthy chemicals from the Red list of the International institute for living future.
During a 50 year lifecycle, ECOSE Technology® product will typically save over 100 to 450 times more carbon than it was used in its manufacture and 500 times more energy than was needed to produce it – depending on final application and technology (glass or rock mineral wool).
INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR HOME
ATTIC
ROOF
PARTITION WALLS
EXTERNAL WALLS
ECOSE Technology® in your attic
You don’t use your attic, or you use it only sometimes as a storage space? You have a feeling that all the heat from your home goes through the ceiling?
Well, if it is not properly insulated, you are completely right! Up to 30% of energy can go through an uninsulated ceiling. This can easily be solved: just put some mineral wool with ECOSE Technology® on your attic floor and immediately increase the comfort of the space you live in, while decreasing your energy bills at the same time! Find out how to do this here:
Do you have the unused space below your roof that you would like to convert to living space? Or you already live in a loft, but it is unbearably hot in summer and freezing cold in winter? In any case, proper insulation of your roof with ECOSE Technology® is essential! Find out more about the insulation system here:
Noisy kids or pets in the other room? A bit of sound insulation in those partition walls would help! There is special ECOSE Technology® mineral wool for this purpose. Find out more here:
There is some insulation in your external walls, but you don’t think it’s enough? Or there is no insulation in your external walls and no way you can put it from the outside since you live in a high-rise building? Good for you – we have a solution. It is called wall lining and is performed by – guess what! ECOSE Technology® mineral wool. Find out more about how to do this in your home here:
