Believe it or not, Excel Building Solution's Warmcel insulation is made from 100% waste recycled newsprint. But even more exciting is that it's been successfully installed in more than 1 million homes in the UK alone! With this excellent track record, and a thermal conductivity of just 0.036 W/mK, it's a great alternative to blown fiberglass or bat insulation. It can be layered into walls being built, or blown into attic spaces and already sheetrocked walls for extra protection from the cold. Excel also offers soundproofing material made from the same stuff. Definitely worth a look if you're considering an addition in the future. :: Warmcel insulation by Excel
