Biobased insulation in Westland
Isoleerbewust insulates homes in Westland 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.
Also active in: Naaldwijk, 's-Gravenzande, Monster, Wateringen.
What makes insulating in Westland different
Climate, subsoil, build years and local schemes differ per place. These are the factors we take into account in Westland.
Local point of attention in Westland
In the Westland many homes stand between greenhouses, exposed and with high wind load on the facade. Driving rain on the west facade calls for a build-up that dries outwards; a vapour-tight interior foil is risky here.
Summer and winter temperature
Around Westland 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 Westland is dominated by jaren 60-2000 dorpsuitbreidingen: rijwoningen en tuinderswoningen. We match the build-up to that, instead of applying a standard package.
Subsoil and moisture
Westland largely sits on marine clay. Marine clay holds moisture and moves with the seasons. Crawl spaces are cool and damp, and rising damp in old exterior walls is common. Insulation must be able to dry inwards.
Grants and financing here
The Westland uses the regional sustainability loan alongside the ISDE and has an active energy desk for grower housing. Combine facade and roof in one application for the doubled ISDE rate.

Why Isoleerbewust in Westland
- 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.
