For use under parquet, laminate and wooden floors. Manufactured by felting of flax fibres on the needle loom. Very good resistance against tearing, elongation about 25 %, high compression resistance.
Good contact noise shielding. Sold per roll of 23,1 m2.
Benefits:
- Acoustical insulation: contact noise and ambient noise abatement.
- Thermal insulation: Isolina flax under carpet insulates the floor from the colder underground without obstructing warmth from underfloor heating, if any, reaching the (wooden) upper floor.
- Fast installation due to widths up of 1,1 m or 2,2 m at 21 m length (respectively 23,1 m2 and 46,2 m2).
- The product compensates small differences in the evenness of the underfloor and facilitates differences in expansion and crimp between underfloor and upper floor.
Thickness: 6 mm
Width: 110 cm
Length: 21m/roll
Flax as isolation:
In the old days, most houses were poorly insulated but they were able to “breathe” freely. As a consequence, a lot of heat was lost, but the interior air quality was typically better than nowadays. On the positive side, current houses are generally much better thermally insulated than before. The downside results from the plastic foils necessary in combination with traditional insulating materials: First of all, they may have a negative influence on the indoor air quality. Secondly, moisture getting trapped in the construction can create big problems. Flax insulation offers the best of both worlds: a good thermal and acoustical insulation combined with the ability to exhale excess humidity from the wall and roof construction.
