New insulation rules take effect in Türkiye

28 April 2025

Türkiye: The Turkish government has introduced new rules for thermal insulation of residential buildings.

Building Envelope and Insulation Industry highlights Austrian insulation market decline

26 March 2025

Austria: The insulation association Building Envelope and Insulation Industry (GDI) has reported a 1.9Mm³ decline in annual insulation sales since 2021.

The OÖ Nachrichten newspaper has reported that the association attributed the decline to an on-going ‘property sector downturn,’ with homeowners stalling their refurbishment plans. The GDI praised the recent easing of lending guidelines and renewed submissions for reserved funding under the Sanierungsbonus insulation scheme.

GDI Chair Roland Hebbel said “A rebound in the construction industry is becoming increasingly urgent.”
