Excel Warmcel 500
Cellulose thermal insulation for walls, roofs and floors
‘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.
With an impressive thermal conductivity value (k) of only 0.040 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.’
