Indoor air quality

Indoor air quality is closely related to ventilation. Fresh outdoor air replaces indoor air through ventilation, thus removing and diluting contaminants generated indoors. ISOVER encourages the development of high performance controlled ventilation to maintain adequate air quality while reducing energy consumption.

We also want to help reduce the sources of pollution by selling solutions that comply with all existing requirements for indoor air quality . Our insulation solutions are not hazardous in terms of indoor air pollution, and are safe to handle and install in the home or office. None of the products sold by Isover is classified as a dangerous substance by the European Union, and based on available data, exposure to Isover insulation products will not cause any significant adverse health effects.

Mineral wool is generally installed in such a way that no release of dust and fibres occurs after application, and tests to determine possible exposure of building occupants have shown no significant generation of airborne mineral wool fibres.

Isover mineral wool and polystyrene products do not provide a medium for the growth of micro organisms . They do not rot, decay or sustain mould. Isover hemp wool products are treated with biocides and fungicides to prevent development of micro organisms.

Since moisture promotes mould growth, controlling the level of moisture is one of the best and easiest ways to improve indoor air and protect your health: that is why we have developed the Isover Vario membrane .
