All the zeros The reliable choice

WARMCEL 500Manufactured from 100% recycled newsprint with fire-retardant salts, WARMCEL 500 is the first choice cellulose fibre insulation for walls, floors, lofts and roofs.

With BREEAM-assessed Global Warming Potential of –1.9 (better than zero carbon, based on installation in walls), using WARMCEL 500 actively reduces a building’s carbon footprint, sequestering carbon from newspapers which would otherwise be released at landfill.

WARMCEL 500 is installed by our BBA-inspected network of trusted installers in such a way as to achieve complete void fill, improving airtightness in line with environmental targets without relying

on non-standard wall thicknesses or an excess of offsetting technology, thus minimising heat energy loss from the building in the most cost-effective manner. In this way, stringent Part L targets can be met with less reliance on green technology offsetting or non-standard wall thicknesses.

WARMCEL 500 provides ‘U’-values beyond current or envisaged building regulation requirements, with typical constructions achieving values of between 0.30 and 0.09 W/m2K.

‘Aim Lower’ is Excel’s message to all developers. Why target zero carbon construction when you can aim lower with WARMCEL 500, building in a manner which not only has a low carbon footprint, but actively benefits the environment?

• Better than zero carbon, with a GWP of -1.9 (based on installation in walls)

• 100% recycled newsprint, diverting from landfill and locking in carbon

• ‘U’–values exceed building regulation thermal performance

• Low embodied energy costs, with an inherently low carbon footprint

• Airtight installation means energy is not wasted from buildings

• Used to achieve many BREEAM ‘Excellent’ ratings

WARMCEL 500®

AIRTIGHTINSULATE RIGHT!

WARMCEL 500 boasts complete void fill and inherently low air permeability, resulting in better airtightness. This makes environmental targets easier to hit first time, and offers lower fuel costs for building owners.

• Reduce heat energy wastage from buildings

• Enhance efficiency of renewable energy

• Reduce requirement for offsetting technology

•Meet targets first time to avoid re-testing costs

• No need for non-standard wall thicknesses

Carbon is sequestered when it is locked inside the fabric of a material rather than being emitted into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas (such as when newspapers release methane at landfill). WARMCEL 500 sequesters more carbon within its fabric – and therefore within buildings – than is used in its manufacture, transport, installation and even

eventual removal, making it the ideal choice for a sustainable future in construction.

In addition, all WARMCEL 500 products are 100% reusable and recyclable, meaning once a building has reached the end of its life, the insulation keeps on benefiting the environment.

Manufactured from recycled newsprint and featuring a negative Global Warming Potential, WARMCEL 500 is the first choice for environmentally-friendly building projects.

NEWS

Closed LoopRecycling

The principle of closed loop recycling is to keep carbon within a given system, preventing it from escaping and creating an environmental burden. For example, Excel often works with schools, encouraging their staff, pupils and communities to recycle newspaper for use in WARMCEL 500 insulation, which may then be used within new school buildings. Excel aspires to reproduce this closed loop recycling methodology worldwide.

Application methods

Minimising construction costs

For open panel walls, WARMCEL 500 may be applied via damp spraying and levelling off to the depth of the studs, with no voids even around pipework.

Closed panel structures may also be filled with a lance/hose system inserted into a suitable hole, directly filling the cavity.

In loft applications, this method ensures total loft coverage, making it easy to achieve complete fill between and over joists.

The system uses air to directly pump WARMCEL 500 into void between the inner and outer sheathing boards of a closed panel wall unit.
