Besides, when experts get together the exchange of experience is invaluable and points the way to the development of new technolgies. FURTHER INFORMATION FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions How can I avoid thermal bridges when installing insulation? The ISOCELL blow-in method is the key advantage here: the insulation material is mechanically blown into the cavity under pressure, enabling it to fill even hard-to-reach nooks and crannies without leaving any gaps. This seamless insulation mat consistently prevents the formation of thermal bridges, which would often occur with conventional insulation mats due to imprecise cutting or gaps at the joints. How durable are ISOCELL blow-in machines in everyday use on construction sites? ISOCELL machines are designed for exceptional durability and are constructed from high-quality, low-wear components. This robust design ensures that they continue to deliver consistently high installation quality even after years of intensive use on the construction site. They are reliable professional tools that effortlessly withstand the daily rigours of the trade. What are the key strengths of ISOCELL blow-in machines? Our blow-in machines combine high performance with intuitive operation, specifically designed to withstand the rigours of everyday life on a building site. They ensure precise, consistent material delivery, guaranteeing long-term stability even in complex structures. Our machines are suitable for all standard blow-in insulation materials. Their modular design also allows for easy on-site maintenance. What do I need to bear in mind when preparing the cavities before blowing in the material? Each blow-in section must be self-contained to ensure the insulation material is blown in cleanly. Also, make sure that no nails or screws protrude into the blow-in area, so as not to damage the hose. Careful preparation is the key to achieving perfect insulation quality without any interruptions.

Naturally top values ISOCELL cellulose ist characterised by a particulary low heat conductivity: AT/EU: 0,038 W/mK DE: 0,039 W/mK CH: 0,038 W/mK Each insulation is only as good as its weakest point. Therefore, the ISOCELL cellulose also fills the narrowest gaps and crevices. This results in a jointless, thermal bridge-free insulation mat. Compact, with high bulk density and without joints, means no air currents in the insulation. As a result, on comparative measurements under real conditions, cellulose insulation performs much better. Highly trained companies specialising in ISOCELL ensure the high quality of workmanship. NATURALLY SOLUTION-ORIENTATED Insulation wall For a long time, cellulose insulation has been used for the insulation of wooden frame walls. In addition to cost effectiveness and the best sound insulation values, the ability to adapt to irregular bases is an advantage of Isocell cellulose. In the case of interior insulation, however, it scores with high capillary conductivity, whether as a sprayed interior insulation system, Renocell or in wooden stand constructions, which are clad with panel work materials. Insulation roof slope In the case of roof storey extensions, insulation is generally carried out from the inside. When renovating inhabited roof spaces, the insulant can also be introduced from the outside via the roof skin. Insulation top floor ceiling For unused roof spaces, the simple solution by open blowing of ISOCELL is recommended. However, the Woodyfix system also offers a thermal bridge-free, accessible solution. Tie-beam roofs and floors are insulated both by blowing in and by the open blowing process.

Improvement of airtightness The airtightness of buildings is defined by the air change rate (n50 value). This is composed of the permeability of the material employed (n50 material) and the leakages (n50 unknown leakage). n50 = n50 material + n50 unknown leakage < 0.6 ACH (passive houses <0.6 air change per hour ACH at 50 Pa) Different OSB brands were investigated for their airtightness in a Belgian study in 2011. The study showed that in most of the OSB brands tested the air leakage already constitutes a significant part of the air permeability permitted by the passive house standard. According to the study, additional measures should be considered when using OSB boards as an airtight layer in passive houses in order to keep the air leakage value of the material (n50 material) as low as possible and thus to ensure appropriate airtightness. Independent of the Belgian study, ISOCELL carried out investigations had at the same time together with the FIW Munich into the airtightness of the OSB3 boards and improvements in conjunction with cellulose insulation. The results of the ISOCELL investigations are confirmed by the findings from the Belgian study. 160 mm air space without insulation => 0,275 m³/(h.m²) 160 mm glass wool 17 kg/m³ => 0,273 m³/(h.m²) 160 mm ISOCELL cellulose 58 kg/m³ => 0,141 m³/(h.m²) The ISOCELL cellulose insulation achieved almost a 50% reduction in the measured volumetric flow with the structure tested. This percentage improvement can be apportioned to the n50 material value. According to the formula specified above, it is easier to achieve the required < 0.6 ACH with a lower n50 material value.

Naturally moisture regulating ISOCELL cellulose is not only very water vapour permeable, it can also transport moisture in the fibre. It accomplishes this without losing its insulation qualities. Moisture transport in the construction component works by diffusion, i.e. from warm to cold. Condensation occurs when the air temperature reaches the dew point. Cellulose has a capillary conductivity, which means it absorbs any moisture that forms and thus acts against the direction of diffusion. As a result, cellulose becomes a valuable moisture buffer, especially if a drying out of the construction component is only possible on the room-side - such as, for example, in the case of unventilated flat roofs, interior insulation or renovation. ISOCELL cellulose insulation does not accumulate mould itself and also protects adjacent parts. Source: Dl.

Naturally good for the environment A newspaper needs much less energy to become insulation than other raw materials. As such, it is part of a fascinating, natural cycle that produces a new, independent product with every metamorphosis. In comparison to other insulation material, primary energy use is significantly less. It amounts to only 30 % of glass wool and only 15 % of polystyrene (styrofoam). Isocell cellulose insulation reduces CO2 emissions over decades and saves heating costs. And the best: while many building materials become a disposal problem, Isocell cellulose blooms again as it can be processed into plant fertiliser! Carbonization (pyrolysis) produces a soil nutrient, which the Indians in the Amazon region already understood 7000 years ago. This plant fertiliser is applied with the manure and, according to the latest findings, reduces the unpleasant smell by up to 75 %! And at some point a tree grows again and the cycle closes.

Naturally efficient Cellulose is blown in, not packed. No material drag, no waste. One and the same product for floor, wall and ceiling and for any insulation thickness. This not only saves time and money but also ensures a better quality result when insulating. The installation specialist comes with his truck to the construction site and brings everything he needs: blowing machine and cellulose fibres. The builder, carpenter or drywall constructor has already prepared everything for him. The blowing machine remains on the truck and is filled there with cellulose. The specialist brings the blowing hose to the desired position and work starts. The machine is operated in the truck via radio control. The cellulose fibres are matted in the construction to form a jointless insulation mat. Whether it is floor, ceiling or wall - it is always one and the same product.

Naturally the best The rooms stay cool in the summer, including the under-roof areas. ISOCELL cellulose insulation provides maximum performance in heat protection, as in other aspects. And that with enormous endurance, so far without material fatigue. Much more energy is consumed for the cooling of buildings than for their heating. The phase shifting indicates the time required for a temperature wave to reach the room side from the outside of a construction component. The larger the phase shift, the longer the heating of the building interior is prevented. ISOCELL cellulose has existed for over 27 years. So far, there is no evidence that the cellulose insulation is altered by ageing.

Naturally high fire protection A series of fire protection tests confirm the positive properties in the case of ISOCELL cellulose burning. Comparative tests show: "Non-combustible" does not actually mean "better in case of fire"! The classified superstructures of REI30 to REI 90 give security in planning. With the EN classification B-s2,d0 ISOCELL cellulose achieves the best possible assessment for combustible construction materials. It has been shown in an investigation by IBS Linz * that, with a 30-cm thick cellulose layer, the underlying construction component remains protected from heat for 90 minutes. * Source: IBS file reference 11092607a 2012

Durability Along with its high thermal insulation value, cellulose from ISOCELL is distinguished above all by accuracy of fit and resistance to settling. The dismantling of a 21-year-old prefab house in the „Blaue Lagune“ show home park in Wiener Neudorf gives resounding proof of the reliability and long service life of the insulating material. The cellulose showed no traces of settling or deformation and even after more than two decades it looked „as fresh as the day it was blown in“. In the spring of 2014, similar results were found during the dismantling of the roof of a house in the Tirol, insulated 17 years ago.
