Speciality non-wovens for construction applications – dimensionally stable, functional and versatile

Speciality non-wovens perform key functions in the construction industry. They are used, for example, as laminating materials for stabilisation, for sound absorption, or as composite materials in applications such as resilient flooring. LAHNPAPER develops and manufactures base materials and carrier materials for a wide range of construction applications. With varitess®, LAHNPAPER offers a speciality non-woven that impresses in numerous applications thanks to defined properties such as porosity, absorbency and mechanical strength.

Applications of speciality non-wovens in the construction industry

Within our portfolio of speciality papers and non-wovens, we work together with our partners to select the right product with defined properties such as porosity, absorbency, mechanical strength and surface characteristics.

Typical applications:

  • Sound-absorbing acoustic non-wovens for applications such as perforated ceiling panels and headphones
  • Laminating materials for stabilising synthetic rubber roofing membranes
  • Surface layers for thermally insulating polystyrene sheets
  • Composite materials in resilient flooring, for example in public transport vehicles

These examples demonstrate the versatility of non-wovens in construction-related applications, ranging from acoustic solutions to stabilising layers in roofing, insulation and flooring systems.

The benefits of LAHNPAPER speciality non-wovens

  • High mechanical and thermal resistance: The non-wovens offer excellent dimensional stability, tear resistance and thermal durability while maintaining a high degree of flexibility.
  • Functional properties: Porosity, air permeability and absorbency can be tailored to specific requirements, ranging from highly absorbent to fully water-repellent. Flame-retardant impregnations can also be incorporated.
  • Versatile options: Basis weights from 30 to 200 g/m², roll widths of up to 260 cm, various colours and printability options allow precise adaptation to customer requirements.

Why choose varitess®?

Many construction applications require an interlayer or carrier material with defined properties such as absorbency, tear resistance, air permeability or thermal durability to contribute to the stability and functionality of the final product.

For converters and manufacturers, varitess® offers practical advantages in day-to-day production. The material integrates easily into existing manufacturing processes and can be processed reliably, whether printing, impregnating or coating.

FAQ for speciality non-wovens in the construction industry

Non-wovens are used as carrier, laminating or functional layers in acoustic elements, roofing membranes, polystyrene insulation boards and resilient flooring systems. They help stabilise multilayer constructions, improve surface quality, and facilitate laminating and coating processes.

Whether laminating, bonding, embossing or coating, varitess® can be further processed using a variety of converting techniques and customised to meet specific application requirements.

The non-wovens are typically available in basis weights ranging from approximately 30 to 200 g/m² and in roll widths of up to 260 cm. Additional specifications can be tailored to individual project requirements.
