For many adventurers and freedom-lovers, the van is more than just a vehicle - it becomes their home and the centre of their lives.
But anyone who travels for long periods of time and drives through different climate zones knows how crucial the right insulation is. Rico and Becca, experienced vanlife professionals, have opted for the sustainable insulation material sheep's wool and share their experience here.

Pure nature is the motto of timber construction. Despite the good insulating properties of the raw material itself, this is often not enough to fulfil energy efficiency, technical suitability and living comfort requirements. It is therefore not a question of whether thermal insulation is necessary in timber construction, but rather which materials best support the fulfilment of these requirements.

On average, we spend around 20 hours a day indoors. The indoor air should be in order. However, pollutants are often hidden in unexpected places. There are many reasons for this: wrong choice of building materials, drying times not adhered to, airtightness, appearance before health ... One of the pollutants that can make you ill if the concentration is too high is formaldehyde.

Bonding, sealing, filling - assembly foam, also better known as PU foam, is almost indispensable as an all-rounder in the construction industry. Nevertheless, construction foam is often heavily and justifiably criticised due to its harmful ingredients. But what ecological alternatives are there?

Headaches, burning eyes, irritated airways - all of these can have something to do with indoor air quality. Factors such as humidity, temperature and regular ventilation are responsible for its quality. What can you look out for before, during and after construction to ensure good indoor air quality?
