Roch
Lac-des-Rouges-Truites
For the construction of this detached house in the town of Lac-des-Rouges-Truites, the company Roch, specializing in wood construction, has made its work in «beams-posts». This constructive mode consists in erecting a grid with glulam posts with strong sections spaced from 2.5 to 5 m, connected by beams. The ambition was to use local resources by promoting short circuits and the use of natural and bio-based materials. In this process, ROCH implemented ThermaSoft® natura insulation, made from bio-sourced and recycled plant fibers, for the insulation of intermediate partitions and floors.
"In fact, it was the mix of materials that gave the product its soundproofing and thermal performance, as well as its ease of installation, that made the difference. It's relatively easy to cut and the product is comfortable to handle... I'd recommend ThermaSoft® natura for the value it brings with bio-sourced materials and the ease with which it can be installed!" concludes Ronan David, Project Manager at ROCH.
All the wood used in the construction have a origin of the Jura woods. The insulation used in the house is made of bio-sourced and recycled wood wool, wood fibre and natural plant fibres.

Knauf ThermaSoft® natura is composed of 3 bio-based plant fibres: COTTON from the textile industry, JUTE from food bag recycling, and FLAX from local agriculture. This assembly gives it unique performance: thermal comfort summer/ winter, natural acoustic performance and remarkable installation comfort.
