Warmcel at Ecobuild 2006
5 January 2006

Excel Building Solutions will be demonstrating the sustainability of the company's Warmcel range of high performance insulation at the Ecobuild 2006 exhibition, which takes place at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre on 22 and 23 February.

Manufactured entirely from recycled newspaper, Warmcel has an excellent BRE environmental rating and contributes substantially to a building's sustainability credentials, while its enviable insulation performance enables architects and developers to more easily meet revised Part L Building Regulations requirements.

Warmcel has a thermal conductivity of only 0.036 W/mK, which means it is extremely effective in limiting heat transfer.  This translates into a typical U-value for a 140mm deep timber frame wall of just 0.25 W/m²K - well inside the building regulations requirement of 0.35 W/m²K or less.

Warmcel is used extensively for applications where minimising space heating and environment impact are high on the specification agenda.  Warmcel products are available for insulating external timber frame walls and warm roofs, and for the insulation of lofts in virtually any building construction.

In addition to Warmcel, Excel supplies Panelvent and Paneline external and internal sheathing boards.  A timber frame structure featuring Warmcel insulation in combination with these sheathing boards benefits from inherent 'EVT' protection against interstitial condensation, safeguarding the integrity of the structure for the lifetime of the building.

Warmcel can be either damp spray installed into an open panel timber frame wall or TurboFill injected into a closed panel system by specialist BBA-listed installers. Because it is a loose fill material, Warmcel ensures that the entire wall cavity is completely filled with insulation, eliminating gaps, cracks or other cold bridges, thereby delivering an airtight solution.  For loft installation, Warmcel is gently pumped into position in the loft, providing complete coverage of the loft floor to the recommended insulation depth.
