Sustainable sound insulation is an increasingly important issue in many places. Due to increasing noise, the long-term health of many people depends directly on it. To ensure that the environment does not suffer instead, RAU® has made it its goal since its foundation to offer effective and resource-saving sound insulation walls and insulation materials. Our latest product Canwool is another revolutionary step in this direction.

What is Canwool?

Canwool is a sound absorber made from hemp fibers. The raw material is pressed into panels and is therefore suitable as an insulating material for all standard sound insulation cassettes. The fibers of the hemp plant are an ideal material as they are particularly sustainable. Hemp not only grows extremely quickly, but can also be grown anywhere. This is due to the fact that hemp is neither sensitive to temperature nor does it make any special demands on soil quality. Thanks to the plant’s natural resistance, neither intensive irrigation nor the use of pesticides is necessary for its cultivation. At the same time, hemp fibers can be endlessly recycled, similar to waste paper.

Sustainable alternative to other materials

Canwool, or hemp insulation, can be a sustainable alternative to other insulation materials. In addition to the hemp fiber properties already mentioned, production and processing also play an important role here. Canwool conserves resources as it is a renewable building material.

The sound absorber made of hemp fibers offers equally high-quality noise protection. Both absorption and insulation are in the first-class range.

Where is Canwool used?

Hemp insulation can be used for sound insulation refurbishment as well as for new projects and noise barriers. Canwool fits into many common systems so that neither production processes nor the elements themselves need to be changed or adapted. As a result, the product offers companies the opportunity to switch to a sustainable solution at short notice without having to worry about compromising on sound insulation. At RAU®, this type of insulation is mainly used in the RAU® Climatewall S and RAU® Mobile noise barriers.
