Eco-insulation
is made 100% out of recycled newspaper. It is pumped into the ceiling or wall
cavity by professionals. Eco-insulation presents sustainable low embedded
energy content. The thermal resistance
specified by this product is also exceptional and covers a great amount of
area.
This
product was awarded a ‘Company Excellence award for the year 2008’ by the
South-African Energy Efficiency Association for their contribution towards
energy saving.
Treated
with a specially formulated fire retardant, Eco-insulation is tested and
classified in accordance with SANS 428 and is fire rated – No spread of flame.
The
second quality that caught my eye is the fact that Eco-insulation has a natural
ability to become an integral part of the ceiling, wall or floor by filling all
the gaps and irregular spaces and therefore producing a significant improvement
in noise suppression. Eco-insulation has a noise reduction co-efficient of 0.90
(90% sound energy absorption)
This
is also a non-toxic and non-irritant product containing no pesticides,
requiring no special clothing to handle it. It is resistant to biological and
fungal attack and is unattractive to insects and rodents.
Eco-insulation blown onto the ceiling to prevent any air leakage.
Minimum
blown in thickness of 125mm gives you an R-value of 3.29, which would suffice
if you take in consideration the values given by the roof tiles / sheeting
added. This means that one product could replace the combination of the two we
are currently specifying on plans.
Before the insulation is blown onto the ceiling space each down light is covered with a metal cup to prevent insulation to interfere with the light fittings.
After the insulation was blown onto the ceiling space. Clearly the cups are still visible and this way access to the fittings are not restricted.
