Product catalog summary
Overview
Black Mountain ThermalFlex is a high-performance natural insulation made from plant and wood fibres, designed for traditional, new build, and Passive House properties. It offers excellent thermal insulation, energy savings, and improved indoor air quality.

Key Benefits
  • High thermal mass for energy storage and passive heating.
  • Humidity control for better indoor air quality.
  • Durability and sustainability with local production.
  • Easy and safe installation without protective clothing.

Thermal Mass
ThermalFlex significantly increases the thermal mass of buildings, allowing them to store and release heat efficiently. It has a higher specific heat capacity than many man-made materials, enhancing its ability to absorb and store energy.

Energy Efficiency
The high thermal mass helps maintain comfortable internal temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning and heating. It can store significant solar energy, releasing it as free energy to reduce heating costs.

Humidity Regulation
ThermalFlex can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture without losing thermal efficiency, helping to prevent condensation and mould growth.

Durability
ThermalFlex is made from durable fibres that maintain their structure over time, making it suitable for vertical applications.

Sustainability
  • Made from recycled wood products.
  • Low energy production process.
  • Zero waste policy.

Fire Safety
Achieves a Euro Class E fire performance rating, treated with non-toxic compounds for flame retardancy.

Applications
  • Passive house construction.
  • Timber frame walls.
  • Warm attics and cold lofts.
  • SIP panels and suspended timber floors.

Technical Standards
  • Fire: Euro Class E, EN 13501-1: 2002.
  • Condensation: BS 5250: 1989.
  • Thermal Conductivity: 0.038 W/m°K.
  • Specific Heat Capacity: 2300 - 2800 J/kg°K.
  • Vapour Permeability: 10 MNs/gm.
  • Density: ca 40kg/m³.

Available Sizes
High-density semi-rigid batts available in various thicknesses and sizes, with special sizes available on request.

ThermalFlex Product Brochure-2

High performance natural insulation Black Mountain ThermalFlex is a high performance plant and wood fibre insulation and a natural solution to insulating traditional, new build and Passive House properties. Its high thermal mass enables it to store thermal energy and flex the re-emission of energy back into the building; saving energy and reducing costs. warmer safer smarter A combination of natural fibres provides sufficient flexibility to simplify installation whilst maintaining enough rigidity to prevent slumping in vertical walls. In addition to external timber frame walls, ThermalFlex is...

ThermalFlex Product Brochure-3

This delayed heat transfer creates a "thermal time lag" in summer months, reducing the requirement for air-conditioning during peak temperatures at midday. In the evening the stored energy is released internally, acting as a passive heat source for the building. In winter months, the solar gain can be very significant due to the inclination of the sun; a typically south facing window can absorb up to 32kwHr per m². How thermal mass reduces internal temperature fluctuations ThermalFlex acts as a passive solution to condensation control, improving the internal atmosphere of a building. Longevity...
