warmcel 300 and 500
Warmcel High Performance
Insulation
The Warmcel range of high performance insulation
products offers a total solution for the provision
of effective insulation in housing, commercial premises
and public buildings.
Installed in over one million homes in the UK alone,
Warmcel has established its credentials with national
housebuilders, architects, local authorities and
housing associations over the last 20 years.
Combining the highest levels of thermal performance
with enviable environmental credentials, Warmcel
delivers the capability to downsize space heating
requirements, maximise heat retention and provide
a healthy living environment.
Thermal Performance
With an impressive thermal conductivity value (k)
of only 0.036 W/mK, Warmcel’s ‘in use’
performance is further enhanced by its ability to
create a high level of air-tightness to prevent
thermal convection currents.
The proven methods of application ensure the insulation
provides a complete seal to minimise heat loss,
eliminating gaps, cracks or other cold bridges.
Environmental
Warmcel is manufactured from 100% recycled waste
newspaper and has extremely low embodied energy,
requiring far less energy to produce than any other
mainstream insulation material.
It does not contain any added formaldehyde and
is free from CFCs, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
or other toxic substances. And by reducing heating
demand, Warmcel also plays a major part in reducing
household CO2 emissions.
When, eventually, Warmcel insulation is removed
from a building, it can be recycled again or disposed
of safely, without creating toxic waste or biodegradability
problems.
Fire Performance
Warmcel is extremely resistant to fire. Its remarkable
performance is achieved through the addition of
simple inorganic salts, enabling it to comfortably
meet the fire protection standards required for
timber-frame construction and conventional lofts.
Durability
Warmcel is formulated to protect it against any
potential hazards that may be encountered in use.
It is resistant to biological and fungal attack,
treated against insects and is unattractive to vermin.
Warmcel is also harmless to other common building
components such as copper pipes, electric cabling
and metal nail-plate fasteners.
Warmcel 500
Developed for EVT Technology applications, Warmcel
500 combines high levels of insulation with excellent
breathability. Used for EVT walls, roofs and floors;
timber frame walls and warm roofs, Warmcel 500 can
be either TurboFill installed or damp spray installed.
Warmcel 300
Specified for new build lofts, floors or other open
horizontal surfaces. Warmcel 300 is dry-blown pneumatically
into position to provide a complete fill between
and over joists, leaving no air gaps through which
warm air can escape.
