Touchwood homes are also registered installers of Warmcel insulation. This impressive insulation is produced from recycled newspaper resulting in minimal embodied energy - unlike glass fibre insulation. The material is also treated with Boron fire retardant. Once plaster boarding is complete, Warmcel is pumped under pressure into each cavity, resulting in a solid mass of insulation completely filling the space. This highly effective result cannot be achieved with glass fibre since it is stuffed into the cavity before plaster boarding - there will always be gaps around the edges acting as a cold bridge.
