Natural Insulation: the choice

We offer two ranges of natural insulation materials, suitable for most applications.

Warmcel 100 is manufactured from fire-retarded recycled newpaper. It is designed, and only really suitable for, loose filling lofts where it offers a real cost-effective alternative to mineral fibre insulation.

Thermafleece is manufactured from pure British sheeps wool. It is suitable for sloping ceilings and roofslope insulation, as well as stud walls and dry lining. It is more expensive than mineral fibre insulation or Warmcel 100.

It is also possible to have Warmcel blown into loft spaces, roofslopes and vertical studwork by a specialist installer. For more information visit the Warmcel website.
