Rising energy costs are prompting investors to reduce heat loss in buildings.A method that allows rapid reduction of heating costs is the use of mineral wool for blowing. Its undoubted advantages are the speed of application and the ability to insulate hard-to-reach places.

Supafil is a non-flammable, natural bulk mineral wool for insulation by blowing. It is used to insulate non-utility attic ceilings, roof slants, wood beam ceilings, floors and walls in frame technology. Supafil wool blowing insulation has an unbeatable application time, allowing to insulate a non-utilitarian attic even in a few hours! This is an unquestionable advantage especially in already inhabited houses. This method is non-invasive and does not impede the normal functioning of the residents. Supafil wool is also a great solution when there is insufficient insulation and the need to improve thermal comfort in usable attics. In such cases, the existing insulation is supplemented by blowing wool through holes made in the G-K panels or from the level of the mayflies. As a result, there is no need to dismantle the existing structure and reinstall it, so thermal upgrading of the attic is faster and less disruptive than using wool in rolls.

Blowing wool will also work well in homes where roof trusses are used instead of traditional trusses, providing fast and accurate insulation for any hard-to-reach areas and technical infrastructure elements such as sewer and ventilation pipes, such as from recuperation.
SUPAFIL wool does not contain added substances such as formaldehyde, acrylic or phenol. It is a wool produced from wholesome raw materials. It is a safe product - both for contractors and for homeowners. Supafil wool has the DECLARE Red List Free designation, confirming the absence of Red List ingredients from the international Living Future Institute.

Supafil blowing wool has excellent thermal performance: it has a lambda coefficient as low as 0.034 (when used in an air void or frame wall). Mineral wool has the highest class of reaction to fire A1 (non-combustible). It does not contribute to the development and spread of fire. It is a safe insulation material, increases the fire safety of the attic and the entire house. Supafil wool does not settle during use. The insulation layer does not change its thickness, and the thermal properties of the material remain unchanged. Supafil wool is protected against the effects of water, and has increased resistance to water absorption.

Blowing insulation is carried out by qualified contractors, who apply it with a special unit. The goods to the construction site are delivered in 16-kilogram bags, which contain compressed insulation material.
The use of Supafil wool will allow effective insulation in all conditions and ensure thermal comfort at any time of the year. This is a long-term investment that will reduce the cost of heating in winter and cooling the house in summer.
