Product Features

Quality Design

Earthwool is the benchmark that stands apart for its sustainability, performance and consistently high product quality. It’s also easy to handle and fabricate so install is fast.

ECOSE® Technology

Our patented, bio-based binder is a smarter alternative to using phenol formaldehyde. It’s been foundational in our commitment to sustainability.

Proven Performance

Offers high compression strength, cutability and excellent thermal properties, assisting in energy conservation. It even recovers the energy it took to make it in just hours or days.
