Key features
Recycled materials
Warmcel 100 puts to good use paper which would otherwise go to landfill. When, eventually, it is removed from a building, it can be recycled again or disposed of safely, without creating toxic waste or biodegradeability problems
Thermal insulation
Thickness for thickness, Warmcel insulation gives outstanding protection against heat loss. This is because Warmcel is based on paper which is a natural insulation material, and it forms a complete blanket over the loft. This leaves no gaps for the heat to escape through, unlike quilt type insulation materials. Warmcel 100 has an impressive thermal conductivity value of only 0.035 W/mK. The loose fill installation method ensures a complete seal, eliminating gaps, cracks and other cold bridges. All from recycled newspaper!
Fire safety
People are often concerned that Warmcel 100, being made from newspaper, might not be safe because of the risk of fire. In fact, Warmcel has an impressive level of fire resistance, fully compliant with BS 5803-4. Its remarkable performance is achieved through the addition of simple inorganic salts, which enable Warmcel to meet all fire protection standards.
Biological safety
Warmcel is formulated to protect it against any potential hazards that may be encountered in use. It is resistant to all biological attack: insects and fungal attack, including dry rot. Warmcel is unattractive to vermin.
Building components
Warmcel is also harmless to other common building components, such as copper pipes, electrical cable and metal nail plate fasteners.
