Under this new partnership, JJ Smith will become the UK distributor for X-Floc’s Fibreblow® Premium Line, a fully automated system designed specifically for prefabricated house builders. The Fibreblow® system delivers low-dust, high-speed blow-in insulation for walls, roofs, and ceiling cavities, enabling unparalleled efficiency and quality in offsite construction.
“This is a game-changing step for UK timber frame manufacturers,” said Rachael Baker, Managing Director at JJ Smith. “The Fibreblow® system sets a new benchmark in insulation application, offering consistent quality, energy efficiency and automation at a level not previously available in the UK market.”
In addition to the Premium Line, X-Floc’s Essential Line offers an ideal starting point for companies looking to grow into offsite insulation technology at their own pace. Its modular setup – beginning with a stand-alone machine and lance – allows customers to upgrade step-by-step to include plate blowing systems or even a large bale shredder, supporting scalable growth without overhauling production processes.
Wayne Kern, Managing Director of X-Floc, adds: “Our goal has always been to deliver flexible, future-ready insulation technology that grows with our customers. Whether it's a fully automated line or a compact mobile unit for on-site work – we make high-performance solutions accessible to all segments for the market.”
A European Leader in Insulation Innovation
Founded in 1994 in Renningen, Germany, X-Floc has long been a pioneer in insulation blowing technology. They were among the first to develop European-designed systems tailored to local construction standards, offering everything from mobile and stationary blowing machines to highly specialised nozzles, connectors, and control systems. Their technology is widely recognised across Europe for its reliability, automation potential, and high-performance output.
The Fibreblow® Plate, when combined with X-Floc’s Feeder Lift and Feeder Drop systems, ensures even, settlement-proof insulation of cavities using sustainable materials such as loose wood fibre, cellulose, or glass fibre. With its patent-pending nozzle design, the system eliminates mounding and ensures total fill coverage – even in hard-to-reach corners.
Key features of the Fibreblow® system include:
- Fully automated insulation process for off-site wall, roof, and ceiling elements
- Seamless integration into existing production lines and software-driven systems
- Compact, scalable design for easy implementation and operation
- Proven reductions in dust, waste, and production time
- Enhanced thermal performance and airtightness in timber frame buildings
Beyond factory-based systems, X-Floc also offers a comprehensive range of mobile machines that enable efficient and clean insulation on site – providing further flexibility for installers and manufacturers operating in a variety of environments. More information on these systems is available via their factory filling solutions.
Transforming Offsite Construction in the UK
With the UK housing and construction sectors under increasing pressure to build faster, greener, and more cost-effectively, the JJ Smith and X-Floc partnership comes at a pivotal time. Timber frame manufacturers will now be able to achieve higher energy efficiency standards, reduce manual labour requirements, and streamline insulation processes – all without compromising on quality.
“Our partnership with X-Floc supports our vision to bring world-class, forward-thinking solutions to UK construction,” added Rachael Baker. “This collaboration will help future-proof the timber frame industry and enable our customers to build smarter, faster, and more sustainably.”
