Martin Twamley
Martin Twamley is the Technical Director at STEICO UK, overseeing the technical application of natural wood-fibre insulation and engineered timber systems. With over 30 years of experience across architectural practice, material supply and manufacturing, he is a leading authority on building physics and the integration of sustainable timber technologies into the UK built environment.
At Futurebuild, Martin focuses on the practicalities of high performance retrofit using natural wood fibre insulation. He advocates for a "fabric first" approach, specifically how diffusion-open systems can mitigate moisture risk in existing buildings. His expertise centers on using these carbon-sequestering materials to close the performance gap, ensuring that deep retrofits deliver long term structural health alongside improved indoor air quality.
