Reed

Reed grows in many parts of the world. It has considerable strength and is thus hard to break. An additional advantage for use as insulation material is its air-filled cavities, which provide thermal and soundproofing.

Reed is made untreated into mats and panels – the individual reeds are simply tied into bundles with galvanized wire. It can also be chopped and made into granulate panels.

Reed has a thermal conductivity of λ = 0.055 to 0.06 W/mK.
