How does Thermo Hemp, Warmcel 100 cellulose, Thermafleece and Gutex woodfibre insulation products compare with alternative materials?
Thermo Hemp, Gutex wood fibre, HolzFlex040 woodfibre, Thermafleece and Warmcel 100 cellulose insulation have a very low conductivity. The lower the thermal conductivity the more difficult it is for heat to pass from one side to the other. To compare these products with to other common insulators refer to the table below, here the conductivities are given in Watts per meter Kelvin (w/mK) – where the lower value is the better insulation value. Insulation Material Conductivity (k Value) Thermo Hemp 0.038 W/mK HolzFlex 040 woodfibre insulation 0.038 W/mK Thermafleece sheep wool 0.039W/mK Warmcel 100 Cellulose insulation 0.035 W/mK Glass Wool 0.044 W/mK Mineral (Rock) Wool 0.042 W/mK Cork 0.040 W/mK Natural products are a significantly more effective insulator once moisture is introduced into an environment, which typically occurs in everyday situations. Your attic may have over 60% humidity for example, which will adversely affect materials which can not absorb this moisture. Natural insul
