Wood. Is. Good.

More builders are making the switch to wood fiber insulation and it’s not just about sustainability. It’s about better-performing assemblies.

TimberBatt® cuts cleanly without the itch.
TimberBoard™ helps manage moisture, not trap it.
TimberFill® delivers clean, debris-free loose-fill insulation.

The performance is there. The install experience is better. That's why the switch is happening.
