Air Quality and Insulation Go Hand-in-Hand

The connection between air quality and insulation can’t be overlooked. Wood fiber insulation is vapor open, safe to handle and install, and delivers a healthier living environment, so you can build better and people can live better.

How Does Breathable Insulation Support Indoor Air Quality?

Breathable insulation supports indoor air quality by helping building assemblies manage moisture more effectively. Vapor-open insulation materials allow moisture vapor to move through walls and roof systems rather than becoming trapped within them, reducing the potential for condensation and moisture-related issues. When combined with proper air sealing and ventilation strategies, breathable insulation can help create healthier, more durable indoor environments. Wood fiber insulation is designed to be vapor permeable, allowing assemblies to dry while maintaining thermal and acoustic performance.

Build and Live in Healthier Spaces

TimberHP wood fiber insulation products are non-toxic, safe and comfortable to handle and install, and provide fire resistance, industry-leading sound dampening, and moisture management for safe, quiet, vapor-open spaces.

Our products are redefining efficient home design.

Safe to Handle and Install

Our wood fiber batt, fill, and board insulation products are itch-free and contain no VOCs, formaldehyde, or added toxins, minimizing concerns about air quality and insulation. They are also Declare labeled and Red List Free.

  • TimberBatt is designed for friction-fit installation, cuts cleanly, and doesn’t itch or produce debris.
  • TimberFill is a safe-to-handle, debris-free dense pack blown in and attic blanket insulation. Where installers have to wear PPE to handle fiberglass and spray foam, TimberFill doesn’t require special protective gear and won’t irritate the skin or cause itchiness.
  • TimberBoard installs with standard carpentry tools – no re-tooling required – and when you cut it, you get sawdust (no microplastics blowing away in the wind!)

Vapor-Open

Our wood fiber insulation solutions are vapor open and breathable. Air is able to move through the insulation, preventing moisture from becoming trapped and reducing the risk of condensation, mold, and rot.

“I wanted to commit Avesta to TimberHP because clean insulation was something we could do and a Maine-based company seemed like a no-brainer for us. Health and safety is important to our residents.”
