What sort of insulation is in use in Sweden?
- alkonaut 8y agoAround 300mm for new construction (a foot in freedom units). Glass wool or styrofoam. Slightly less in older houses.
- roel_v 8y ago"styrofoam" Nitpick / clarification: this is not 'EPS' which is what is commonly known in the US a styrofoam (although according to Wikipedia, the trademarked name 'Styrofoam' actually referes to XPS); so not the white grainy stuff e.g. some disposable coffee cups are made from. Modern insulation is done with PIR, PUR or XPS.
