FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about CycleWool
When choosing an insulation material, many questions often arise — from technical properties and installation to health and environmental aspects.
In our CycleWool FAQ, you’ll find clear and concise answers to the most important topics. This gives you a quick overview and helps you determine whether CycleWool is the right solution for your building project.
What makes CycleWool particularly sustainable?
CycleWool is made from recycled raw materials and is fully reusable. By utilizing industrial residual fibers, the ecological footprint is significantly reduced.
With a negative GWP (Global Warming Potential), CycleWool actively contributes to CO₂ storage and climate protection.
Is CycleWool safe for health?
Yes. CycleWool causes no skin irritation and releases no harmful substances, making it suitable even for sensitive residential areas.
What level of thermal insulation does CycleWool achieve?
The thermal conductivity is λD = 0.035–0.037 W/mK, providing excellent insulation values that enable significant energy savings.
Can CycleWool also be installed later in existing buildings?
Absolutely. Thanks to its blown-in application, CycleWool can easily be added to existing structures — ideal for renovation projects.
How does CycleWool perform in terms of fire protection?
CycleWool is classified as Euroclass A1, meaning it is non-combustible.
Its fiber structure also protects adjacent components and slows down fire spread.
Does the insulation performance change over time?
No. Mineral wool permanently retains its structure and insulating capability.
Tests have shown that both thermal conductivity and fire resistance remain constant over decades.
Is CycleWool moisture-resistant?
Yes. CycleWool is water-repellent, absorbs only minimal moisture (≤ 0.3–1.0 kg/m³), and dries quickly.
Its insulation performance remains completely intact.
Are there funding or subsidy options?
Yes. In many countries, government grants and subsidies are available for insulation projects using CycleWool — making your investment even more cost-efficient.
For which building elements can CycleWool be used?
CycleWool is extremely versatile: it can be applied to roofs, walls, floors, ceilings, and both interior and exterior areas.
It adapts perfectly to any building shape and leaves no gaps.
How does CycleWool affect indoor climate?
Thanks to a phase shift of up to 11 hours, interiors stay cooler for longer in summer and retain warmth for longer in winter — ensuring a consistently comfortable living environment.
