Biobased insulation in Vlaardingen
Isoleerbewust insulates homes in Vlaardingen with natural, vapour-open materials: hempfibre, cellulose, woodfibre and strawboard. We tailor the construction to the age and detailing of your home, instead of forcing a standard package onto it.
What makes insulating in Vlaardingen different
Climate, subsoil, build years and local schemes differ per place. These are the factors we take into account in Vlaardingen.
Local point of attention in Vlaardingen
Vlaardingen lies low and close to the Nieuwe Waterweg: wind load on the west facade is high and draught sealing often gives more comfort here than an extra centimetre of insulation. So we measure airtightness as standard.
Summer and winter temperature
Around Vlaardingen the average daily maximum in July is roughly 21.5 °C and the average January temperature about 4.4 °C, with some 3 tropical days a year. The sea dampens extremes: summers stay moderate and frost spells are shorter. In exchange, wind and driving rain load the facade hardest here, so draught sealing and an outward-drying build-up pay off more than extra thickness.
Housing stock and build years
The stock in Vlaardingen is dominated by wederopbouw en jaren 60-70: rijwoningen en portiekflats. We match the build-up to that, instead of applying a standard package.
Subsoil and moisture
Vlaardingen largely sits on peat with a high groundwater table. Crawl spaces here are often wet; relative humidity under the floor reaches 85-95% in summer. Vapour-open insulation and a well-ventilated, sealed crawl space matter more than a high Rd value alone.
Grants and financing here
Vlaardingen too runs the Toekomstbestendig Wonen loan via SVn alongside the ISDE. Draught sealing alone is not eligible, but it is when combined with facade or roof insulation in one application.

Why Isoleerbewust in Vlaardingen
- Knowledge of Dutch housing stock. We adapt the build-up to brick cavity walls, wooden floors and tiled roofs typical for the region.
- Vapour-open by default. Our standard details let walls and roofs dry out, instead of trapping moisture.
- Own crew, no chain of subcontractors. Same people from quote to delivery. One point of contact.
- Transparent pricing. Concrete price per m², no vague 'from' prices. The price indicator gives a serious range.
