Areas of application

Reed is one of the oldest building materials and was formerly used for roofing. Reed panels are mostly used for insulation. However, they weigh a good deal, which is why structural analysis of the insulation structure is necessary. If the thickness of the insulation layer is reduced, though, it will be necessary to combine the reed panels with other materials in order to achieve a satisfactory U value.

Apart from their insulating effect, reed panels are also suitable as a plaster substrate. They can be combined with clay or lime plaster for overall vapour permeability.
