Frequently Asked Questions
Lanaé is designed to offer a more comfortable installation experience, with reduced dust and odourless qualities. It's a perfect choice for architects who prioritize sustainable design and end-users who value indoor air quality. Lanaé's unique creamy colour and bio-based binder materials set it apart in the market.
Lanaé holds the GREENGUARD Gold certification, demonstrating its compliance with the strictest indoor air quality standards. This certification assures customers of the product's high level of safety and quality.
Lanaé products continue to embody Saint-Gobain's hallmark of high thermal efficiency, maintaining their exceptional R/RSI values for insulation.
This ensures effective insulation while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. In terms of acoustical properties, Lanaé matches the performance of our previous products, offering the same level of excellent sound insulation. Additionally, the fire safety standards remain uncompromised, as Lanaé products uphold the same fire classifications as their predecessors.
We use a bio-sourced binder, free of formaldehyde and phenol, predominantly created from raw materials derived from the sugar and cereal industries. This advanced binder technology and its production process are protected by multiple patents, ensuring both environmental responsibility and innovation.
No. Once the binder components undergo the curing process, they become inert. This ensures that the binder becomes impervious to attacks or damage from rodents, insects and similar pests. Additionally, this also makes it resistant to mould and mildew.
For our market, Lanaé is proudly MADE IN CANADA
The name "Lanaé" (pronounced Lan-ah-ee) has a special significance. "Lana" means wool in Latin, and the addition of the use of "aé" represents our environmental commitmert. (We use similar names in other Saint-Gobain businesses ending with an "é" at the end to showcase our more sustainable products: Like "Oraé" in our glassbusiness.)
Lanaé embodies our dedication to sustainability through its use of a bio-sourced binder and high recycled glass content. Its use supports the reduction of CO2 emissions in buildings, aligning with our mission to offer environmentally responsible products.
Lanaé is crafted with high recycled glass content, showcasing Saint-Gobain's unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. In our production process, we actively reduce CO2 emissions, with an increasing shift towards green electricity as a core strategy.
Additionally, glass fibre insulation in general is renowned for its low carbon footprint relative to its thermal performance (R/RSI-value), making it one of the most efficient insulation materials in terms of environmental impact; our Environmental Product Declarations provide clear evidence of this. In addition to its sustainable production, Lanaé products are fully recyclable, aligning with the recyclability of other CertainTeed glass fibre insulation materials, thus contributing to a circular economy.
Lanaé products are certified with essential regulatory certifications, including CAN/ULC 702.1-2021, CCMC listing number - 09521-L and Surface buring Characteristics in accordance with standard CAN/ULC 102M.
No, because naturally most construction products do always emit some level of formaldehyde (think about paint or wood or other insulation materials). But the changed binder material without formaldehyde now ensures that the level of emission is below the lowest levels in the industry, proven by our GREENGUARD Gold certification.
At present, Lanaé has not undergone validation for use in external applications, including but not limited to cavity wall insulation, metal cladding, or façade insulation. Additionally, it is not recommended for technical products like Ductwrap, or other forms of technical insulation.
