It takes us forward

Innovation leader with a passion

Gutex is the innovation leader in ecological wood fibre insulation and systems in Central Europe: founded in the Black Forest, closely linked to nature and convinced of the benefits of these sustainable insulation solutions in terms of building physics.
Back in 1932, we were the first manufacturer of wood-fibre insulation materials in Central Europe. Since 2006, we have been the first company in the world to use the modern, environmentally-friendly drying process, which enables us to manufacture single-layer wood-fibre insulation boards up to 240 mm thick - with clear quality advantages and 40% lower energy consumption than the previous wet process. Below, you will find other product innovations and system developments that have established unique characteristics or new standards in terms of safety or ease of use.
Innovation since 1932

  • Patent for the rain-resistant tongue-and-groove profile from Gutex Ultratherm
  • Developing sustainable safetyWindow and door connectors Systems Gutex Implio
  • Development of Gutex Durio insulation system for modern facades and particularly for difficult substrates
  • Setting up a standardised innovation process within the company

That's what we're up against.

Our aim is excellence: environmentally-friendly insulation for you, your neighbours and the planet. That's why we attach so much importance to the tested and certified quality and durability of our products and systems. Come and see for yourself!

Innovative products and forward-looking solutions

Gutex Ultratherm

Rain-resistant patented tongue-and-groove profile
The patented tongue-and-groove joint of the Gutex Ultratherm roof underlay panel ensures that the underlay remains raintight up to 3 mm from the joint: it saves the craftsman from having to cover up small joints - and therefore from wasting time and money. What's more, Gutex Ultratherm - like all our roof underlay panels - is hail-resistant: TÜV Rheinland confirms the highest class 5 protection against hail. If a storm or hail damages the roof covering and covers tiles, for example, the underlay protects against hail and water damage.

Durio facade insulation system

Modern fronts, even for difficult surfaces
Durio is the environmentally-friendly facade insulation system that building owners can decorate as they wish - with plaster, wood, slate or zinc. As a building physics system, it is quick and easy to install - even on difficult substrates such as half-timbering or uneven masonry, as it does not require glued or levelled substrates. Another special feature is the possibility of extending the system's guarantee to five years.

Implio window and door connection system

Coatings approved by many renoma manufacturers, durably safe door and window connections
Achieving optimum connections in a facade insulation system is a challenge. This is particularly true of windows, where up to five different trades are involved. Implio is the wood-fibre-based window and door connection system that enables windtight and driving rain-proof connections to be made quickly and effortlessly in Thermowall Gutex thermal insulation, the Durio facade system and ventilated facades. Whether with or without reveal panel and blind track, roller blind or slat blind system, it's up to the client, planner or craftsman to decide.
