Excel ‘Warmcel 300'
Cellulose thermal insulation for newbuild lofts and floors
‘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.
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.’
