🏗️ Passive EcoRoof is a flexible, high-performance roofing system developed to meet the evolving demands of low-energy and Passive House construction.

Designed with and in mind, the system combines advanced building science with natural materials to deliver:

🔹 Excellent U-values
🔹 Exceptional airtightness and moisture control
🔹 A build-up adaptable to both pitched and flat roofs
🔹 Low embodied carbon using insulation materials such as GUTEX Thermoflex, Thermafleece, and IndiBreathe Flex

At its core:
• GUTEX Multitherm – high-density external wood fibre board
• Pro Clima SOLITEX PLUS – reinforced windtight breathable membrane
• Pro Clima INTELLO PLUS – intelligent hydrosafe vapour control layer
• IndiBreathe Flex – natural h**p and jute insulation made in the UK

🌱 Whether for new builds, timber frames or retrofits, Passive EcoRoof provides reliable thermal and acoustic insulation that aligns with the standard.

DIASEN Diathonite Thermactive .037 is a lime, cork and clay based insulating plaster. Being highly breathable, it's the ideal solution for internal solid masonry walls and ceilings.

Some of its many benefits include:
✅ Protects from cold in winter and overheating in summer
✅ Can help regulate moisture to manage humidity and damp
✅ Easy application and excellent drying times
✅ Beautiful finish

🎥 In this clip, Dave Judd talks through the application of Diathonite Thermactive lime and cork insulating plaster on our permanent exhibit at the NSBRC in Swindon.

The exhibit demonstrates a breathable internal insulation build-up, including:
• Insulating lime and cork plaster
• Reinforcement mesh detailing
• Airtightness integration around the window opening

Designed to improve thermal performance while supporting moisture management in traditional buildings.

Roof moisture problems are not always caused by leaks.

Warm, moisture-laden air can move into the roof structure through gaps in the airtight layer, increasing the risk of condensation, reduced insulation performance and long-term damage.

That’s why roof design should consider more than insulation alone. Airtightness, vapour control, windtightness and careful detailing all play a role in supporting long-term building performance.

This carousel looks at some of the key principles behind moisture-safe roof construction. 🏠

The pro clima Intello airtight system, (Intello Plus, Tescon Vana and Contega Solido SL), are certified by the Passive House Institute to the highest component level after achieving 0.01 m³/(h·m²) @50 Pa.
The best airtightness result ever recorded for a membrane system.

It was tested as a complete system, membrane and tapes under real-world conditions.

If you're designing to Passive House standards, this is one of the most reliable systems you can choose.

It is also the only airtightness system with tapes that are proven to have a life expectancy of at least 100 years, as verified by the University of Kassel in Germany.

As the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) will soon require the calculation and disclosure of a building’s embodied carbon from 2030 for all buildings and from 2028 for public buildings, understanding the carbon impact of our materials is essential.

What if the grass cut from parks and roadsides…
…could help keep your home warm in winter and cooler in summer?

This is Gramitherm, an innovative insulation made mostly from waste grass and recycled fibres.
Instead of being dumped or burned, the grass is dried using the heat it gives off as it ferments, then turned into high-performance insulation batts.

✅ Naturally effective
✅ Flexible to install
✅ Helps regulate temperature and reduce noise
✅ 92% bio-based, made from what most people throw away

Around every window opening, the junction needs to deal with structural support, airtightness and thermal performance, all while allowing for practical installation on site.

Warmotech Phonotherm is a high-density structural insulation board designed for these types of applications. It’s commonly used around windows and doors in areas such as:
▪️Window supports
▪️Thresholds
▪️Sills and reveals

When used alongside airtight tapes and sealing systems, it helps create a more thermally considered and airtight junction around the frame.
