technical information

For Homeowners, Builders, Architects and Designers. We want to work with you, showcasing a system that enables design freedom and confidence for your eco build.

Home Owners

Insulate your home with our eco-friendly biomaterials to ensure a thermally and acoustically building envelope that is fire resistance and improves indoor air quality.

Builders

Home Owners

Our Mycelium Insulation system is uncomplicated, fast & reliable to allow builders with standard tools to install dry and waste-free insulation.

Designers

Home Owners

Designers

Our Mycelium Insulation allows architects to design healthy, comfortable, chemical free buildings. The applications adapt to almost any design, to set creativity free and allow architects to propose the dream home for their clients.

Properties and benefits

Thermal Performance

Acoustic Performance

Our Mycelium insulation competes with the market leading synthetic and ‘organic’ insulation products. Final test results for our thermal conductivity to be announced soon.

Acoustic Performance

The mycelial network is a sophisticated interwoven membrane and when in combination with a substrate provides high performing acoustic protection. Testing indicates mycelium insulation panels have an acoustic absorption of at least 75% at 1000Hz (road traffic frequency). By comparison, mineral wool will only achieve 40% absorption.

Fire performance

Acoustic Performance

Fire performance

Mycelium is naturally non-flammable, it will only solder and smoke. Testing demonstrates that mycelium releases significantly less heat and smoke during burning. Our biomaterials do not contain any synthetic materials that can cause toxic smoke and quick spread of flames in a fire.

Durability

Health & Well-being

Fire performance

Resilience is fundamental for Micoeden. We administer the need for materials to last their intended use in both performance and beauty, then at the end of it’s use for the materials to responsibly return back to the earth. Studies on mycelium bio-based materials demonstrate that they are able to maintain their insulative properties over the course of it’s life and as durable as conventional materials.

Health & Well-being

Eradicating sick building syndrome caused by poor indoor air quality, with natural materials is our goal. Our mycelium insulation is breathable, which allows moisture to pass through regulating humidity whilst maintaining excellent insulative performance. The building system is suited for thermal bridge free design making it easy to achieve a continuous thermal envelope. Our panels are free of any VOC’s and synthetic ingredients to ensure a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.

Sustainability

Health & Well-being

We up-cycle agricultural waste into valuable substrates for our growing media. Our biomaterials are completely compostable, and there is no waste as all off cuts can be fed back into our manufacturing process. Our insulation panels perform both thermally and acoustically as one material saving additional materials and costs. Our manufacturing process is regenerative, we remove CO2 caused by the waste streams to store it within the materials. Mycelium requires zero light to grow, at room temperature requiring minimal energy input during manufacturing.
