Quick and easy installation with high insulation performance

Insulate frame structures safely and durably with glass wool

Combining efficiency, durability and quality in one building technique? You can do that by prefabricated modular construction with a frame structure in wood or steel. This construction method has been on the rise for several years and URSA is responding to this with FRAMETEC. The newest member of the URSA TERRA glass-wave family scores highly in terms of ease of installation. With optimized dimensions and minimal on-site cutting, you also gain time in any construction process.

Through meticulous preparation in the workshop, prefabricated modular construction significantly shortens the construction process and time on site, whatever the weather conditions. No wonder, then, that this construction method is gaining importance in the industry. Moreover, this approach minimizes back-and-forth transportation and inconvenience to local residents. Mineral glass wool fits this perfectly and is increasingly used in renovation, new construction, timber and steel frame construction and on pitched roofs. The versatile URSA TERRA insulation material therefore offers numerous advantages in frame construction: durability, efficiency, quality and safety. For example, URSA glass wool products are completely fireproof and 100 percent recyclable. They are also known for their excellent thermal and acoustic performance and guarantee optimal living comfort in the home. URSA TERRA glass wool is very quick and easy to install and because the product adapts, you have no seams.

Unroll, place and ready

In 2024, URSA is focusing more than ever on lightweight, modular precast construction. From its investment in the future and the continuous improvement of URSA TERRA technology, the manufacturer is launching FRAMETEC: an insulation product specifically aimed at wood and steel construction within the precast market. The new insulation solution excels in ease of use and installation and continues the line of circular construction. The glass wool is produced with recycled glass and sand and is fully processable, so there is no waste in the production process. 

The range includes optimized roll lengths and additional sizes: FRAMETEC 32, 35, 37 and 38, making it especially easy to install this latest glass wool product on your job site. Just roll it out, install it and you're done. As a matter of fact, due to the sizing, cutting and loss remains minimal. Like the other URSA TERRA products, FRAMETEC is extremely soft and releases virtually no dust during installation.

The sustainability aspect of this glass wool solution manifests itself not only in the production process, but also in further finishing. More insulation is packed into one roll, which translates into more square meters of glass wool per pallet, less transport and fewer CO2 emissions. At the same time, this leads to space savings in the warehouse and on site, and you need fewer rolls of insulation for the same project. Thus, FRAMETEC delivers time and efficiency gains in the field. And this both for prefab frame structures in wood and steel, for tiny houses and for traditional timber frame construction where you insulate on site.

Shortened construction process

By focusing on modular construction, partner STiDO from Asse succeeds in reducing the lead time of its construction projects to about twelve weeks. The use of FRAMETEC plays an important role in this. The glass wool, for example, offers excellent clamping force, so that the material is firmly, seamlessly and securely clamped between the wooden battens. This makes FRAMETEC highly effective in insulating walls, roofs and floors in wood frame structures. This results in modern structures with low environmental impact and healthy, safe living conditions. Finally, the partner finds URSA's flexibility to develop customized solutions an additional asset.
