STEICO Company Profile
STEICO UK was established in 2006 and specialises in the manufacture and supply of environmentally friendly natural insulation and construction products for floors, walls, roofs and facades. STEICO is a leading European company providing ecological wood fibre insulation products and a range of construction products and systems. The innovative and unique product range has gained a highly respected reputation for quality and reliability with timber merchants, builders, timber frame manufacturers, industrial clients, ecological supply specialists, home owners, self-builders and DIY enthusiasts.
The STEICO range of products is widely specified where there is a requirement to achieve the code for sustainable building levels and environmental legislation on refurbishment and new build properties. STEICO UK supplies products throughout the UK via a national network of dealers which is backed up by prompt deliveries direct from the company’s own production facilities across Europe.
The key benefits of STEICO products include:
- Insulating materials made from natural wood fibres including timber and hemp
- Hemp is an efficient building product which utilises solar energy more efficiently and rapidly grows, making a valuable contribution to reducing the greenhouse effect
- Insulation from the cold
- Heat protection in the summer
- Excellent sound insulation
- Healthy living environment
- Water vapour open products which allows vapours to permeate through the structure to prevent internal mould and damp whilst stopping external damp entering the building
- Reduction in energy costs
- Sustainable and certified by the FSC and PEFC
- Fire protection due to a natural additive, ammonium phosphate which forms a carbonisation layer on the surface of the insulation to provide 90 minutes of fire protection
- Engineered wood products that offer superior durability
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable
