Warmcel 100 is a loose fill insulation and is provided in conveniently sized bags for spreading out over the loft floor area. By its nature, Warmcell 100 completely fills in between and around joists, wiring and pipework to ensure complete insulation. It isn't suitable for use where it is likely to be subject to excessive water ingress and so is better suited to roofs that are lined with felt or membrane.
DUE TO ITS BULKY NATURE THE DELIVERY OF INSULATION IS BEST ARRANGED UNIQUELY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ORDER.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORDER WARMCEL INSULATION PLEASE CALL 0121 557 0077 OE E-MAIL INFO@SMITH-BROS.CO.UK TO ARRANGE DELIVERY SUCH THAT COSTS CAN BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM.
Fire Performance
As the photograph shows, 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. Warmcel is accredited by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) for use in composite timber frame wall and ceiling systems in relation to fire resistance.
Thermal Performance
Warmcell 100 has an impressive thermal conductivity value (k) of only 0.035 W/mK at 100mm depth. The insulation helps to seal a loftspace by naturally filling spaces, preventing heat loss and eliminating gaps, cracks or other cold bridges. When laid between joists, it can be overlaid with boarding. Warmcell is higher density than many fibre insulations (it's actually four times the density of lightweight fibre products) and so it suffers less convected heat loss.
Environmental
Manufactured from 100% recycled waste newspaper, Warmcel has extremely low embodied energy, requiring far less energy to produce than other mainstream insulation materials. Warmcel has zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential). 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.
Under the BRE's Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), Warmcel achieved Green Guide Ecopoint 'A' ratings in every application of the insulation in various wall and roof constructions. And in comparison with other insulation materials, the Ecopoints rating for Warmcel was so good it exceeded the current best 'A' rating value. 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.
Durability
Warmcel 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 nailplate fasteners.
