Isowool ‘Walltherm’
Thermal insulation, blown wool for cavity walls
‘Walltherm is a high quality insulating material designed to be blown into existing cavity walls. It is manufactured from non-combustible glass mineral wool. The granules are lightweight and resilient with a soft woolly texture and bond together mechanically giving a continuous even fill with no gaps or voids and a consistent density which remains stable over the life of the building.
