As well as providing building materials from sustainable sources and minimising the environmental impact, Excel Building Solutions' Warmcel insulation also assists in the reduction of heating bills. Manufactured from recycled newspaper, Warmcel cellulose fibre insulation is created using a mechanical process to transform the newspaper back into its raw fibrous state. It has a low embodied energy and is free from CFCs, VOCs and can boast zero ozone depletion potential. The product's low thermal conductivity delivers insulation performance, enabling Part L of the Building Regulations to be met more easily. High levels of airtightness also prevent thermal convection currents. It is available for the insulation of walls, floors and 'warm roofs' in timber frame homes, and for loft insulation.

Recyclability of Excel Building Solution's Warmcell insulation has been demonstrated following the reclamation and reprocessing of 800kg of the material from a bungalow in Bristol. The product was removed from the entire 'envelope' of the home and returned to the company's factory where it was 'cleaned' of impurities such as screws, nails and re processed along with standard newspaper stock. Manufactured from 100% recycled newspaper, it has low embodied energy and a high BRE environmental rating. It has zero ozone depletion potential and due to reducing heat demand as a result of insulation performance, and it lowers household CO? emissions.

Developed to install Warmcell 500 insulation into plasterboard-sheathed timber-framed walls, Excel Building Solutions has developed its TurboFill insulation system. The system employs a smaller TurboFill nozzle, enabling internal and external pressures to be more closely matched. This prevents excess pressure being exerted on the plasterboard from the inside of the panel, while ensuring the density of the Warmcell is optimised. The TurboFill injection nozzle - which resenbles a Formula 1 refuelling rig - is docked to the wall panel by means of pre-drillied access holes in the plasterboard, through which the Warmcell 500 is injected. A pressure sensing system ensures the void is filled to the correct density.

Thanks to their sustainability, insulation performance and structural integrity, Tradis panels from Excel Building Solutions were a factor in their selection by Falkirk council for a new primary school extension in Bo?ness, Falkirk. The extension to Deanburn Primary School was designed to accommodate pupils in a structure featuring high levels of sustainability and energy efficiency. Used as infill sections in the steel frame superstructure of the building, the panels needed to be selfsupporting up to 5m high. Made offsite, the panels are based on an engineered timber 'I' beam frame, sheathed externally with Panelvent sheating board and internally with Paneline. Warmcel 500 insulation is also used.
