Cellulose is a real all-rounder when it comes to home comfort:

• In winter: Thanks to a particularly low thermal conductivity, the heat stays where it belongs – inside the house.
• In summer: This is where cellulose really comes into its own with its high heat storage capacity. Due to a long phase shift (often 12 to 14 hours), the summer heat only reaches the interior once it has already cooled down outside and the room can be ventilated.

Unlike roll-form insulation, which needs to be cut to size, cellulose is blown into the cavities using air. The fibres interlock to form a bespoke insulation mat free from thermal bridges, which fills even the narrowest gaps.
Critics often fear that the material will sag. However, long-term studies prove the opposite: whether after 17, 18 or 21 years – in practical tests, the cellulose always remained dimensionally stable and looked ‘as if it had just been blown in’.

The material also impresses when it comes to safety:

• Fire safety: Cellulose achieves the highest rating for organic insulation materials (fire class B-s2, d0). In the event of a fire, a protective char layer forms, which shields the structure from the heat for longer than many so-called ‘non-combustible’ materials.
• Sound insulation: Thanks to its high flow resistance, cellulose provides excellent sound insulation, thereby enhancing the quality of life within your own four walls.

In a nutshell: Cellulose insulation is far more than just a technical building component. It is an investment in the future – ecologically sound, unbeatable in terms of building physics and durable for generations. 

Cellulose is a win-win not only for residents but also for the installer. Anyone who has ever worked with blow-in insulation will appreciate the benefits:

• Logistics without the heavy lifting: Forget the tedious task of carrying bundles of insulation material up to the upper floors. The cellulose remains in the lorry or at ground level and is fed directly to the installation site via a hose.
• One material for everything: Whether it’s a sloping roof, top-floor ceiling or wall – you only need one product for all applications and insulation thicknesses. This reduces planning effort and storage requirements.
• No waste, no leftovers: As the fibres are blown in with precision, there is no waste. This means: a clean building site and no disposal costs for leftover material.
• Speed that impresses: The high application speed saves valuable working time and enables projects to be completed significantly faster than with conventional mats or boards.
