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.

Over the years the company developed and refined all of its products to perform to their best, offering innovative, reliable and cost-effective products with extremely high sustainability credentials.
WHITEROCK® PRODUCTS RANGE
Whiterock® specialists have worked tirelessly to explore the properties of paper and board honeycomb, which has enabled business to extend into a heave stopper product. This collapsible void former offers a temporary, sacrificial formwork, which will yield under subsequent heave, allowing soil to move without transferring stresses to the structure. Heve stopper is 30% smaller than the polystyrene alternatives such as Cellcore HX S and requires significantly less ground work to prepare for foundations than the traditional beam and block method. Company also offers a wide range of products for ground beams and concrete foundations.
HEAVE STOPPER
Using Heave Stopper is a board material constructed from a cardboard honeycomb core set between water resistant facings that protects your buildings against the forces of ground movement from clay. It is used under steel reinforced concrete slabs and ground beams. It is also eco-friendly, recycled construction void former It can also be used to create a void to protect structures from vibration. Being light, Heave Stopper can be installed at a rate of 50m2 per hour or more, by one person. When the honeycomb core is introduced to water it is designed to lose its strength in order to permit ground heave without transmitting pressure to the foundations or structures above. Heave Stopper is BBA approved and meets NHBC's technical requirements. It can be installed on either side. It can be easily cut with hand tools and the joints do not need to be taped together with no requirement to tape the joints.
