My latest for Green Building Advisor... Wood fiber insulation has been slowly finding its way into North American homebuilding markets of late, thanks to Maine-based TimberHP. In 2023, the start-up and offshoot of #OPALArchitecture, founded by Matthew O'Malia and Joshua Henry, cut the ribbon on its 600,000-sf manufacturing facility in a repurposed paper mill in Madison, ME. And in 2024, TimberHP formalized a partnership with CertainTeed, the North American subsidiary of sustainable products giant Saint-Gobain, to distribute its wood fiber insulation products - loose fill, batt, and continuous board - throughout the continent, including as its exclusive distributor in Canada. #Woodfiberinsulation is a sustainable, renewable, and high-performance alternative to the standard fiberglass, foam, and other synthetic insulation materials that currently dominate the market. This partnership represents a big step towards achieving a clean and low-carbon future for the North American homebuilding industry. https://lnkd.in/ewyHsVgj #woodfiber #woodpulp #industrialbyproduct #sustainablebuilding #sustainableinsulation #highperformancebuilding #highperformancehomes #healthyhomes #lowcarbonfuture #lowcarboneconomy #Maine #Dirigo Saint-Gobain North America
