GUTEX insulating wood fibreboards

are the ideal choice for both already

existing buildings and new buildings,

fulfilling and even surpassing all

structural and environmental consi-

derations. Some of their key features

are:

Insulation against the heat in summer

GUTEX wood insulation boards protect living

areas from high temperatures, in particular, areas

under the roof. Thanks to their high thermal storage

capacity, they effectively dampen the flow of warmth

from exterior to interior areas.

Insulation against the cold in winter

Effective insulation reduces your heating

bills and creates a comfortable living environment in

winter. Due to their low thermal conductivity (D =

0.037 W/mK), GUTEX insulating wood fibreboards

provide optimum insulation in winter, protecting the

interior of your house from heat loss and ingression

of cold.

Pleasant living environment

GUTEX wood fibre insulation boards are

vapour permeable (3), regulating the living environ-

ment with their ability to absorb and release up to

20% of their weight in moisture without the loss of

their insulation capacity.

Soundproofng

The open-pore structure of GUTEX wood

fibreboards and their high absorption volume contrib-

ute to their ability to deliver superb soundproofing

against airborne and impact noise.

Made in Germany

For more than 75 years, the family owned and

operated company, GUTEX, has manufactured insulation

boards at its plant in Waldshut-Tiengen, located in the southern

Black Forest. All GUTEX insulation boards carry the CE and U

marks and are produced according to the current applicable

standards. GUTEX thermal insulation composite systems are

approved by the German building authorities.

User riendly

GUTEX insulation boards, manufactured according to

the highest quality standards, are characterised by absolutely

minimum dimensional deviation. This, combined with the de-

tailed installation instructions provided by the manufacturer,

makes GUTEX products a pleasure to work with.

Recyclability

GUTEX wood fibreboards are completely recyclable

and, provided wood preservatives have not contaminated

them, can be disposed of at the nearest recovery centre.

Environmental compatibility

The raw material for all GUTEX insulation boards

comes form wood that is harvested and grown using

sustained forestry management practices. GUTEX exclusively

uses untreated spruce and fir chips and shavings, which are

by-products obtained from other timber manufacturing pro-

cesses. All GUTEX insulation boards are tested and certified as

biologically safe and compatible with other building materials

(natureplus seal of quality).

Fire protection

GUTEX wood fibre insulation boards easily

comply with fire protection regulations.

Various individual certificates of approval are available

for F30-B to F90-B f ire resistance ratings.

GUTEXs customer assistance

An important part of GUTEXs customer service is its qualified

assistance. Whether you require help with a private single-

family house or commercial property, GUTEXs trained and

qualified staff will gladly assist you.

GUTEX provides training

Architects, craftsmen, wholesalers, sales staffs and developers

can benefit from the workshops GUTEX offers, which address

specific topics, such as the application of physics to the

building trade, construction techniques, product applications,

etc. Visit our website for further information or give us a call.
