THE ADVANTAGES OF cellulose insulation
FOR RE2020
In the changing context of RE2020, cellulose insulation out. Discover the advantages that make it one of the most effective thermal and acoustic insulators.
cellulose insulation better in terms of summer comfort.
Thanks to its phase shift, cellulose insulation thermal comfort in winter as well as in summer. The composition of cellulose insulation gives cellulose insulation unique thermal properties. Its densely intertwined fibers and high density slow down the passage of heat: in winter, it takes longer for heat to escape from the house, which guarantees energy savings.
In summer, when outdoor temperatures are at their highest, heat is kept outside for longer, allowing you to enjoy real thermal comfort inside.
Time taken for heat to pass through blown insulation with an R-value of 7 m²·K/W:
cellulose insulation CO2.
cellulose insulation, thanks to its raw material derived from recycled paper, stores 1.37 times its weight in CO2 equivalent throughout its lifetime.
Paper is made from wood. When recycled into cellulose insulation, it retains its properties and can continue to store CO2 from the atmosphere for the entire lifetime of the insulation.
1 ton of cellulose insulation 1.37 tons of CO2 equivalent stored!
cellulose insulation the environmental impact of the building.
By choosing cellulose insulation the attic space of a new building, you can save 6.73 kg CO2 eq/m² compared to mineral wool, or nearly 700 kg for a surface area of 100 m².
The data provided is taken from the FDES (French environmental product declaration) reports for Igloo France Cellulose and FILMM factories, available on the INIES database as of August 25, 2023. Calculations based on data provided for stages A to C of the life cycle.
-6.73 kg CO2 eq. / m2 saved
By blowing cellulose insulation unused attic space compared to mineral wool for an R-value of 8 m2.K/W.
Everything you need to know about cellulose insulation.
cellulose insulation made from recycled paper fiber sourced from French industries. Its manufacture requires neither water nor heat. At the end of its life, cellulose insulation be recycled.
The fibers in cellulose insulation give cellulose insulation special properties: improved resistance to convection, humidity regulation, sound insulation, and energy savings.
Its performance provides immediate and lasting comfort, regardless of its application: in new construction or renovation, in unused attic spaces, crawl spaces, walls, and floors.
