ZelluloseDämmstoffe

ZelluloseDämmstoffe, also known as cellulose insulation, are a type of thermal insulation material made primarily from recycled paper products, such as newspapers, cardboard, and wood pulp. These materials are processed and treated with fire retardants and borates to enhance their safety and durability. The manufacturing process typically involves shredding the paper into small fibers, which are then treated and blown or pressed into place as insulation.

Cellulose insulation is recognized for its good thermal performance, offering a low thermal conductivity that helps to reduce heat transfer in buildings. It is also known for its ability to fill irregular spaces and cavities effectively, minimizing air leakage and creating a more airtight building envelope. This air sealing property contributes to improved energy efficiency and comfort.

Environmental considerations are a significant aspect of cellulose insulation. Its high recycled content means it diverts waste from landfills and requires less energy to produce compared to some other insulation materials. The borate treatment also provides protection against insects and mold. Cellulose insulation can be installed in various forms, including loose-fill for attics and blown-in for walls, and can be a cost-effective insulation solution.
