Betonfiber insulating panels

Insulating systems with Betonfiber

Coupled panels made with high density cement bonded particle boards 1350 Kg/m³ and an insulating wood fiber panels with density equal to 160 Kg/m³.
The Betonfiber coupled panel is excellent for the dry roof and floor systems insulation that require a high mass due to thermal displacement and noise reduction. The external panel is in fact composed of high density cement bonded particle board (1350 Kg/m³), with a high compressive strength equal to 9000 kPa and fire certified in class A2. The wood fiber Fibertherm panel is highly insulating and considerably increases the thermal displacement.

Betonfiber is ideal for the thermo-acoustic insulation of building buildings made of wood or with the traditional system. In a single insulating panel, the advantages of wood fiber, a natural insulator with high thermal performance, are combined with those of cement bonded particle wood, a natural high-density material, which allows for excellent thermal lag and acoustic insulation results.

Insulating panel made by cement bonded particle board and wood fiber Betonfiber is produced with the coupling of two different panels: one is a cement bonded particle board type BetonWood with a high density 1350 Kg/m³ and high compression resistance (9000 kPa), and the other is an insulating wood fiber panel type Fibertherm which is excellent to increase the thermal and acoustic insulation, and it is totally natural and recyclable.

Due to its mechanical and insulating characteristics, this panel is suitable for use in screed and roof systems as it has excellent properties as a stiffening layer and a high thermal-acoustic insulation power. The thermal displacement of the structure increases.
In particular, it is suitable for making acoustically insulated dry screeds and as an internal thermal insulating systems. The Betonfiber panel allows to insulate efficiently every part of the building:

• it can be used as insulation for roofs and floors that require a high mass due to thermal lag and noise reduction;
• also ideal for the insulation of both flat and sloping roofs, as the cement bonded particle board protects the wood fiber from humidity and fire (class A2), the entire panel can be walked on, therefore suitable for laying on surfaces horizontal;
• it has a very high compressive strength (9,000.00 KPa).

If you are interested in this type of solution, we recommend that you take a look at our other coupled products in the section Coupled panels.


All materials are also recyclable and certified. The BetonWood cement bonded particle board is also made exclusively with wood from controlled forests in compliance with the FSC directives (Forest Stewardship Declaration).


The cement bonded particle board has so many advantages, including:

• very high compression resistance;
• high resistance to climate change and frost;
• insects and fungi are unable to attack or damage it;
• thanks to its physical and mechanical characteristics, the product is considered one of the best materials for light weight constructions;
• incombustible (A2 according to the DIN 4102 Standard);
• free of formaldehyde and free of asbestos, asbestos etc .;
• free of recycled inks (present in materials with recycled cellulose);
• resistant to atmospheric agents;
• workable with wooden tools;
• high flow rate;
• recyclable, ecological, respects the environment;
• construction material tested and authorized according to the European standards in force.


The wood fiber FiberTherm panels are characterized by:

• a good compression resistance;
• very effective protection against the summer heat, due to the remarkable intrinsic insulating properties;
• opening to the diffusion of water vapor, which contributes to the construction of breathable buildings with high comfort;
• high capacity to absorb ambient humidity, which constitutes a natural hygrometric regulator system;
• quality guarantee, thanks to continuous checks and tests carried out according to the European standards in force.

• the delivery of the material is normally carried out by lorries, considering the high mass of the pallets it is advisable for the recipient to have suitable equipment and mechanical lifting means with a minimum capacity of 35/40 quintals for unloading the goods;
• it is advisable to deposit the boards overlapping them one on top of the other and in order to keep them in a horizontal position, with square section supports and a minimum spacing of 80 cm;
• the transport of the single slabs must be done by cutting, never horizontally;
• avoid direct exposure to sunlight and adequately cover the material to avoid excessive accumulation of dust;
• the pallets are equipped with an upper protective plate, which must be repositioned each time above the other boards and ballasted at the top to avoid distortion of the plates below it.
