Celuloza – A Product of Nature. As a main component of plants and trees, the function of cellulose is to stabilize the cell walls. Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound. Without cellulose, there are no trees. Without trees, there is no paper.
Without paper, there is no natural thermal insulation, and without natural thermal insulation, there are no low-energy prefabricated homes by Partas, as our priority is energy efficiency and your comfort.
Isocell is a natural thermal insulation made from cellulose fibers produced by recycling clean, segregated daily newspapers. Mixing with mineral salts and grinding in a mill makes Isocell cellulose resistant to decay and fire. The production is carried out in accordance with strict quality criteria in our own plants in Austria, Belgium, France, and Sweden. TOP Seven Reasons to Choose Partas Low-Energy Prefabricated Houses and Isocell
- Isocell cellulose keeps noise out (or in). Isocell cellulose achieves up to 7 dB better sound insulation for partition walls and up to 5 dB better sound insulation for ceilings compared to conventional fibrous insulation mats.
Simply because the cavities are filled without gaps, better sound insulation is assumed than in the case of mat-type insulation. TGM Vienna confirmed this with a comparative test (Test No. VA AB 11961).
- Rooms are cooler and more comfortable in summer. Isocell cellulose insulation provides maximum performance in thermal protection, as well as in other aspects. With its enormous durability, it has so far shown no material fatigue. Cooling buildings consumes much more energy than heating them. The phase shift shows the time it takes for the temperature wave to reach the room side from the outside of the building component. The greater the phase shift, the longer the internal building stays cool.
- Isocell cellulose is characterized by particularly low thermal conductivity:
– AT / EU: 0.038W / mK
– DE: 0.039W / mK
– CH: 0.038W / mK
Every insulation is only as good as its weakest point. Therefore, Isocell cellulose also fills the narrowest gaps and cracks. This results in a seamless insulation layer without thermal bridges. Compact, high-density, and joint-free insulation means there is no airflow through the insulation. As a result, cellulose insulation performs much better in comparative real-world measurements.
- Isocell cellulose has a moisture-regulating effect. It achieves this without losing insulating qualities.
Moisture transfer in a building component works through diffusion, i.e., from warm to cold. Condensation occurs when the air temperature reaches the dew point. Cellulose has capillary conductivity, meaning it absorbs any moisture formed and thus acts against the direction of diffusion. As a result, cellulose becomes a valuable moisture buffer, especially if the drying of the building part is possible only on the room side – such as in the case of unventilated flat roofs, internal insulation, or renovations. Isocell cellulose insulation does not accumulate mold and protects adjacent parts.
- Cellulose is blown in! No material resistance, no waste. The same product can be used for the floor, wall, and ceiling and for any insulation thickness. This not only saves time and money but also ensures a better insulation result. The installation expert arrives at the construction site with their truck, bringing everything needed: the blowing machine and cellulose fibers.
- A series of fire protection tests confirm the positive properties of Isocell cellulose in the event of combustion. Comparative tests show: “Non-combustible”! Classified upgrades from REI30 to REI90 provide planning security. With EN B-s2, d0 classification, Isocell cellulose achieves the best possible rating for combustible building materials. This is evidenced by research conducted by IBS Linz. A cellulose layer with a thickness of 30 cm protects the fundamental structural component from heat for 90 minutes.
- Isocell cellulose insulation reduces CO2 emissions over decades and lowers heating costs. And the best part: while many building materials become a disposal problem, Isocell cellulose can be processed into plant fertilizer!
