Largely manufactured from recycled glass (e.g. windscreens) and mineral base materials such as sand and without the use of binding agents. The ingredients are melted into molten glass, which is cooled and crushed into a fine powder. The powdered glass is poured into molds and heated (below the melting point) in a "sintering" process that causes the particles to adhere to one another. Next, a small amount of finely ground carbon-black is added and the material is heated in a "cellulation" process. Here, the carbon reacts with oxygen, creating carbon dioxide, which creates the insulating bubbles in the (material). CO2 accounts for more than 99% of the gas in the cellular spaces.
Cellulose insulation is a material made from recycled newspaper. The paper is shredded and inorganic salts, such as boric acid, are added for resistance to fire, mould, insects and vermin. The insulation is installed either blown or damp-sprayed depending on application.
Wood fibre
The success of wood fibre insulation derives from an attractive environmental profile combined with a whole bag of functions including rigid insulation, sheathing and sarking for timber frames, roofs and flooring as well as flexible insulation for studs and rafters.
Wood of course is renewable, it sequesters carbon during its growth and product production is relatively free from pollution. The insulation value of wood fibre boards is not as dimensionally efficient as some of the orthodox petro-chemical materials - but it's no slouch either - typically coming in with a 'k value' range of between 0.038-0.043 W/mK depending on format.
Hemp
Hemp fibres are produced from hemp straw of the hemp plant. Most hemp is imported, but an increasing amount of home-grown crop is becoming available. Hemp grows up to a height of nearly 4 metres within a period of 100-120 days. Because the plants shade the soil, no chemical protection or toxic additives are required for hemp cultivation. The product is composed of, usually, 85% hemp fibre with the ballance made up of polyester binding and 3-5% soda added for fire proofing.
Straw
Straw is an agricultural by-product, the dry stalks of cereal plants, after the grain and chaff have been removed. Straw makes up about half of the yield of cereal crops such asbarley, oats, rice, rye and wheat.

CERESIT® EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION SYSTEM
Ceresit® is mainly recognized as a through coloured render manufacturer. Its highly advanced insulation system has been used for many years in the UK.
EWI Ceresit system products such as CT16, ZU, CT74, CT174, CT34 or CT325 are rigorously tested and verified to ensure quality. The system contains a powdered silicone water repellent in the formulation, which disperses rapidly during the mixing stage and does not alter the appearance of the surface of your property.
The silicone technology significantly reduces the amount of water absorption on the render surface, whilst allowing water vapour to pass freely through the render, granting your property optimum breathability.
The water repellent surface ensures a freshly rendered and aesthetically pleasing appearance for a prolonged period. Additionally, the finish is drier, therefore more resistant to algae growth and easier for you to maintain.
Insulated Render Systems - Quick Product Overview
Ceresit CT74 for indoor and outdoor application is used for making thin-layer plasters on external wall insulation systems, concrete substrates, traditional plasters, gypsum substrates and chipboards.
We recommend the application of CT74 as façade plaster within Insulated Render Systems with the use of EPS boards (Expanded Polystyrene panels) and mineral wool.
CT34 is mainly used for smooth mineral substrates on reinforced EWI (External Wall Insulation) systems.
Ceresit CT16 Priming Paint facilitates the application of thin-layer plasters and renderings inside and outside the buildings.
ZU Adhesive and Reinforcing Mortar is a two-in-one product designed to secure polystyrene boards and fiberglass mesh within a complex system of external wall insulation.
Ceresit CT87 White Adhesive (Primer and Reinforcing Mortar) is a high-quality 3 in 1 product which does not require priming before plaster’s application.
Ideal to install Expanded Polystyrene Boards (EPS), Kingspan K5 and Mineral Wool slabs as well as for applying a thin reinforced layer for thermal insulation of buildings.
Ceresit CT325 is a high density (160g/m2) Glass-Fibre, tearproof and slipproof Reinforcing Mesh Roll for embedding into reinforcing mortars for External Wall Insulation Systems.
