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 using residual streams, the ecological footprint is significantly reduced.
Is CycleWool safe for health?
What level of thermal insulation does CycleWool achieve?
The thermal conductivity is λD = 0.034–0.035 W/mK, enabling excellent insulation performance. This makes it possible to achieve high 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?
CycleWool is intended for use in dry building structures and, when properly applied, contributes to reliable insulation performance. For permanently optimal insulation performance, the material should be installed dry and protected from prolonged exposure to moisture.
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 can be used flexibly: roof, wall, floor, ceiling, interior and exterior areas, provided it is well protected against moisture. It adapts to any building shape and leaves no gaps.
How does CycleWool affect indoor climate?
CycleWool contributes to a balanced indoor climate through its heat-storage properties. In summer, the heating-up of interior spaces can be delayed, while in winter, heat is retained in the building for longer.
