Cellulose insulation, also known as ecowool, is a fine grey fibrous material made from mechanically processed recycled paper (85%) combined with mineral salts (15%). It is produced from recycled newspapers, making it an environmentally responsible insulation solution.
The structure of cellulose insulation provides low air permeability, resulting in good thermal performance. Loose-fill cellulose insulation is highly effective at absorbing moisture and gradually releasing it over time. This helps regulate humidity levels within building structures and prevents harmful condensation from forming inside walls or other building elements.
The antiseptic properties of cellulose insulation help protect wooden structures from rot, mould, and pests, contributing to the durability and longevity of the building. By reducing thermal bridges and improving moisture control, cellulose insulation extends the lifespan of the structure.
Cellulose insulation is suitable for a wide range of applications, including floors, roofs, and wall insulation, providing reliable and sustainable performance.
