Installing natural Insulation

New Thermafleece calculator
To work out the quantities of thermafleece you need, you can now use our online Thermafleece calculator.

Thermafleece

Thermafleece is exceptionally easy and safe to install. It can be cut easily with a sharp knife or shears and requires no protective equipement to install.

Thermafleece is supplied in packs of batts either 400mm or 600mm wide, and in three thicknesses, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm. Coverages are as follows:

1 pack, 50 mm covers 20.16 m2

1 pack, 75 mm covers 12.96 m2

1 pack, 100mm covers 10.08 m2

You can now order online here

Warmcel 100
Warmcel 100 is exceptionally easy to install, and is ideal for the DIY installer.

How do I install it?
Just slit open the easy-to-handle 8 kg bags, pour and spread out. You need no special clothing to install Warmcel 100, although a simple dust mask is recommended. To insulate your loft hatch, just order our loft hatch insulation kit, along with your Warmcel 100 order.

That's it!

How much do I need?
We recommend insulating your loft to a total thickness of 225mm, however you are of course free to insulate to whatever thickness you choose. Use the chart below to decide how much you need.

One bag weighs 8kg, and contains 0.25 m3.

Thickness 1 bags covers No of bags for 1 m2
100 mm 2.50 m2 0.4
150 mm 1.66 m2 0.6
200 mm 1.25 m2 0.8
225 mm 1.10 m2 0.9
A loft of 50 m2, with 225 mm insulation would need 50/1.10 = 46 bags (rounded up)

A loft of 80 m2, with 150 mm top up insulation would need 80/1.66 = 49 bags (rounded up)

U values
Warmcel has insulation properties which are equivalent to mineral fibre insulation. You will need the approximate following thicknesses to achieve these U values.

U = 0.25 w/m2k @ 125 mm deep

U = 0.16 w/m2k @ 225 mm deep

The current target U value for a loft ceiling is 0.16 w/m2k
