Why is Natural Cellulose Fibre a better way to insulate?
Natural Cellulose Fibre fibres are extracted from 100% recycled newspapers,
putting good use paper that would otherwise go to land-fill sites.
Up to 12º Cooler in Summer andUp to 12º Warmer in Winter.
Natural Cellulose Fibre is non-toxic, non-irritant and presents no health hazard whatsoever.
Natural Cellulose Fibre is extremely resistant to fire and rodent attack.
Natural Cellulose Fibre can be disposed of safely without creating toxic waste or biodegradeability problems.
Natural Cellulose Fibre is treated in organic salts to provide pest and fire resistance and is harmless. It is non irritating to the skin, eyes and/or respiratory.
Installing Natural Cellulose Fibre Insulation comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Natural Cellulose Fibre uses very little energy to manufacture: much less than other insulation materials. Natural Cellulose Fibre insulation has been installed in thousands of homes in Australia alone.
Thermal insulation
Thickness for thickness, Natural Cellulose Fibre insulation gives better protection against heat loss. This is because Natural Cellulose Fibre is based on paper which is a natural insulation material, and it forms a complete blanket over the loft. This leaves no gaps for the heat to escape through, unlike quilt type insulation materials.
To be technical, Natural Cellulose Fibre has an impressive thermal conductivity value of only 0.036 w/mk. The loose fill installation method ensures a complete seal, eliminating gaps, cracks and other cold bridges. All from recycled newspaper!
Fire Safety
People are often concerned that Natural Cellulose Fibre, being made from newspaper, might not be safe because of the risk of fire.
Natural Cellulose Fibre insulation covers the entire ceiling space of your home without leaving any gaps, which makes a significant difference
to the temperature levels within your home. Natural Cellulose is Manufactured to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4859.1.2002
Biological Safety
Natural Cellulose Fibre is formulated to protect it against any potential hazards that may be encountered in use. It is resistant to all biological attack: insects and fungal attack, including dry rot. Natural fibre is unattractive to vermin.
Building components
Natural Cellulose Fibre is also harmless to other common building components, such as copper pipes, electrical cable and metal nail plate fasteners.
