Excel ‘Warmcel 100'

Cellulose thermal insulation DIY insulation for lofts

‘Developed for the DIY loft insulation market, Warmcel 100 is manually installed to achieve the same level of insulation as Warmcel 300.

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.’
