Passive house: What makes it so special?
A passive house stands for the highest energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and living comfort. It uses minimal energy for heating and cooling and uses renewable energy to offer a sustainable solution for modern living. Choosing the right insulation, such as blown-in insulation, is a key component.
Blown-in insulation: The key to perfect thermal insulation
What is blown-in insulation?
Blown-in insulation is a recycled insulation material made from cellulose flakes. These are made from waste paper, which makes them particularly environmentally friendly. The cellulose flakes are blown into cavities, creating seamless and efficient thermal insulation.
Why is blown-in insulation sustainable?
Manufacturing from recycled material reduces waste and conserves resources. Cellulose blown-in insulation supports CO2 reduction and is biodegradable, which means it fits perfectly into the concept of sustainable construction.
Energy savings through blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation significantly reduces heat loss. Its high thermal conductivity ensures that heating and cooling energy is used effectively, which drastically reduces energy costs.
How blown-in insulation complements the passive house
Airtightness as a basic requirement
A passive house relies on a building envelope that is almost airtight. Blown-in insulation makes a significant contribution to achieving this tightness by filling even the smallest cavities.
minimization of thermal bridges
Thermal bridges can affect the energy efficiency of a building. Blown-in insulation prevents these because it adapts to the contours of the building structure and creates continuous insulation.
Improved comfort for residents
Thanks to blown-in insulation, the warmth stays in the house in winter and the heat stays outside in summer. This creates a pleasant indoor climate, without drafts or cold corners.
