Indoor air quality matters, and the insulation in your walls can play a bigger role than you think. Knauf North America, one of the world’s leading insulation manufacturers, has taken huge strides to ensure its products meet the highest standards for people concerned about asthma, allergies, and all those who wish to live with better indoor air quality.
Through its partnership with the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program, Knauf’s full range of formaldehyde-free insulation products, from residential batts and rolls to HVAC duct liners, underwent rigorous independent testing to standards set by the international body Allergy Standards Ltd. The results showed extremely low dust, fiber and particle levels during installation and room disturbance, low VOC emissions, no added harmful chemicals such as flame retardants, and resistance to fungal growth.
Linda McGovern, VP of Marketing & Customer Experience at Knauf North America, says:
“Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification offers customers confidence, ensuring they choose products that create a comfortable and safer indoor environment.”
For homeowners, schools, and workplaces, being Certified means insulation that supports healthier indoor spaces from day one. The certification has helped Knauf reach health-conscious buyers and secure projects for educational and government buildings where air quality is a priority.
Dr. John McKeon, CEO of Allergy Standards Limited, adds:
“The Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification gives consumers and professionals confidence that the insulation they choose contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Knauf has set a new standard, empowering stakeholders to create healthier indoor spaces with confidence.”
Knauf’s certified products prove that building healthier spaces starts with the fundamentals – with what’s behind the walls.
