Bulk insulation as lightweight insulation & cavity insulation
Saxoboard loose-fill insulation is made from recycled building materials and can be usedprimarily for cavity insulation in ceilings, roofs, floors and walls.
Application of loose-fill insulation
The dry, loose-fill and small-grain (1-8 mm) components of the insulation material are ideal as exposed insulation for cavities that are difficult to access. It is mainly used as thermal and acoustic insulationin wooden beam ceilings and under screed panels, as well as levelling fill in old buildings with uneven unfinished floors.
Bulk insulation as cavity insulation
Bulk insulation is used for thermal insulation and also for sound insulation. If there are easily accessible cavities, these can be filled with insulating materials made of granulate. An unused crawl space or a self-built roof structure can be such cavities. In accessible but unused attics, the loose-fill insulation material can also be spread loosely on the floor.
At Saxoboard, you have a choice of different quantities of fill (between 500 and 1000 litres) as well as vapour barrier film to protect against moisture.
Hollow spaces that are difficult to access
Bulk insulation is also very useful for insulating hollow external and internal walls or for roof insulation. The poor accessibility of these cavities is a well-known problem when renovating with loose-fill insulation. For wooden constructions in the loft or for floor insulation, a particularly small-grain loose-fill insulation can therefore be easily filled into the gaps and evenly distributed with a broom. The use as blown-in insulation or core insulation between masonry is also popular.
Thermal insulation and soundproofing in the bathroom too
In winter, it can quickly become cold in the bathroom with inadequate thermal insulation, which unnecessarily drives up heating costs. With a high-quality loose-fill insulation material, there is therefore potential for savings in the long term. A side effect: this also serves as sound insulation.
Vapour barrier: protection against moisture
Depending on where bulk insulation is used, a moisture-resistant vapour barrier (also known as a vapour barrier in technical literature) should be used. This is the case, for example, in bathrooms or when insulating attics. Saxoboard vapour control layer is airtight, highly tear and puncture resistant and also reduces energy requirements. This product is also particularly thin and therefore lightweight and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal combination with the insulation material or fill.
