Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document describes the process of insulating a house using Thermo-Hemp® insulation materials, focusing on the practical steps taken by Theo Thermo to insulate his attic and other parts of his house.

Insulation Process
  • Roof Truss Insulation: Theo begins with the roof truss, aiming to complete the attic for guest accommodation. The insulation mats are pre-cut to fit the width of the rafters, simplifying installation.
  • Custom Fitting: For spaces with different dimensions, Theo measures the spacing between rafters and adds 1-3 cm for a friction fit. The mats are pressed firmly between the rafters to avoid thermal bridges.
  • Cutting Techniques: Theo uses an insulation knife and a Bosch Alligator tool for precise cutting of the mats, ensuring they fit accurately in all spaces, including dormer areas and around window and door reveals.
  • Vapour Check Installation: A diffusion-open paper-based vapour check is installed, glued with EcoColl and sealed with UniTape adhesive tape. Theo follows instructions carefully to ensure proper overlapping and stapling.
  • Wall and Floor Insulation: For wall and floor connections, hemp is recommended for stuffing applications. Metal studs are used for constructing partition walls, and wooden studs support external wall insulation.

Final Steps
  • Interior Lining: Theo installs interior linings such as ProCrea® clay building panels, gypsum board panels, or wooden lining after completing the insulation and vapour check.
  • Horizontal Battens: In the attic, horizontal battens are screwed accurately to complete the insulation process.

Conclusion
The document highlights the ease and efficiency of using Thermo-Hemp® insulation materials, with practical tips from the Hock team making the process enjoyable and effective for Theo Thermo.
