Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Ekovilla cellulose insulation is a sustainable and environmentally friendly insulation material made from recycled newspapers and cardboard.
The cellulose fibers are processed into loose-fill form, making it easy to install in various building applications.
This insulation material offers excellent thermal performance, effectively reducing heat consumption and improving energy efficiency in buildings.
Applications
Loose-fill cellulose insulation is suitable for walls, roofs, and floors in both new constructions and renovation projects.
Environmental Data
| Impact (A1–A3) | [kg CO₂e/kg] |

Advantages
- Recycled raw materials
- CE-marked and extensively tested since the late 1970s
- M1-classified – no harmful emissions to indoor air
- Low thermal conductivity – excellent insulation properties
- High airflow resistance – prevents natural convection inside the insulation
- High resistance against mold and fungi
- Hygroscopic insulation – highly durable against moisture
- Ecological – very low CO₂ emissions during production; high CO₂ storage in product
- Excellent fire resistance – does not melt even at high temperatures; instead chars like solid wood
