Biosourced materials in insulation

Materials based on biosourced substances use resources of plant or animal origin, such as wood fiber, hemp, cotton, flax, cork, and sheep's wool. These are commonly found in various insulation products.

Recycled materials in insulation

Recycled materials come from recovered resources that are then transformed. Some insulation products use recycled textile fibers, while cellulose wool is made from recycled paper. These materials can still retain their original plant-based origin.

Upcoming additions to the product range

MATNAT plans to expand its selection soon with new products like DOUDOU and Végétal + from SEMIN, as well as Biofib Plafond. These products are not yet available in the current catalog.

Understanding product composition

In fiber panels, a binder holds the fibers together. The technical sheet specifies the product composition and any additives, helping to distinguish the main material from other components. An insulation product based on plant fibers may not be entirely biosourced.

Choosing insulation based on needs

The selection of insulation materials depends on several factors, including desired performance, housing constraints, and installation conditions. An advisor can help relate this information to a project’s specific needs.

Linking beliefs to housing choices

The choice of insulation materials is also influenced by personal beliefs and comfort goals for winter and summer. For individuals doing their own work, ease of cutting and handling is an important consideration.

Preparing a material quote

Customers can prepare a material quote on materiaux-naturels.fr, either alone or with an advisor. They can then review and place an order before finalizing. The company prefers French and European manufacturers.

Expanding the MATNAT offer

MATNAT, a contraction of the historical brand name, now offers an expanded range of products for construction and renovation. The new website matnat.fr is scheduled to launch in December 2026, while the current site remains accessible for viewing products and placing orders.

The MATNAT mission

The company’s mission is summarized in the slogan "MATNAT, choose wisely to live better," aiming to help people understand the materials they choose and their role in their projects, ensuring decisions align with their values.
