Back to Earth (SW) Ltd is a Devon-based supplier of natural insulation and low-impact building materials, specialising in the thermal improvement of walls, roofs and floors. The business began in 1995 as a sustainable construction company and subsequently developed into a specialist materials supplier.
Back to Earth supplies rigid and flexible wood-fibre insulation for internal and external walls, roofs and floors, alongside compatible construction products. Its wider range includes:
The company's products are relevant to the sensitive upgrading of older buildings, including properties with solid brick or stone walls and suspended timber floors. It provides guidance on internal and external wall insulation and the interaction between thermal performance, airtightness and moisture movement.
Its HolzCore internal wall insulation system (previously known as NatureWall) combines wood-fibre insulation with airtightness layers and internal finishes. Selection and detailing depend on an assessment of the existing building and its exposure to moisture.
Back to Earth supports architects, surveyors, contractors and homeowners with material selection, U-value calculations, moisture-risk analysis and construction details. Its online specification generator and Learning Lab provide practical guidance on wood-fibre insulation, installation and building performance. The company also offers CPD sessions.
