Newsprint - High Thermal Value Loft Insulation
Natural Building Technologies (NBT), which specializes in ecologically sound building industry products, has introduced Warmcel100 a loose fill cellulose fibre insulation made from recycled newsprint.
As well as being easy to apply, NBT's clay Bayosan and Claytec plaster ranges are fully "breathable" and provide a rapid response to changing internal conditions with their huge capacity to absorb moisture.
The effect of this is that many of the problems of "sick building syndrome", such as asthma, moulds, bronchial illnesses etc are minimised and a healthy and comfortable living environment is assured.
The plasters are produced from a blend of clay and fine aggregate and have all of the desirable qualities of a modern plaster.
They harden by drying - no chemical reaction takes place - so they remain workable for a long time and can even be re-worked by the addition of water if required.
Earth plasters have been in use for many thousands of years and many are still performing as well and as beautifully today as when they were first applied.
Being completely natural, they have extremely low embodied energy and are completely sustainable.
The plasters fix to the underlying substrate by mechanical bonding and are suitable for use over a wide range of dry surfaces, including masonry, plasterboard clayboard, reedboard, and lime, clay and gypsum undercoat plasters.
