Environmental and Sustainability Benefits

By far the largest environmental saving is from reduced energy use after construction and during the life of the building using
Val-U-Therm^® panels.

All of the timber in Val-U-Therm^® comes from renewable sources accredited by FSC and/or PEFC.

• Contains an insulation polymer (polyol) derived from recycled renewable vegetable oil. This polyol has 86% Bio-based content based on independent testing to ASTM-D6866 by Beta Analytics in the USA.
• This polyol has 86% Bio-based content based on independent third party testing to ASTM-D6866 by Beta Analytics in the USA.
• The insulation has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
• The insulation has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1
• BRE Green Guide "A/A+" Rating

Val-U-Therm^® panels and the constituent timber & polyurethane insulation can be recycled into new products or burned for energy as a substitute fossil fuel at the end of their final service life.

Timber is the world's most environmentally acceptable modern construction material

Traditional central heating systems can be a thing of the past
