Micafil Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that is expanded at high temperatures to produce aerated particles that are 90% air by volume. Its free-running properties make it easy to install, as it can be poured straight from the bag into and over all potential heat loss areas. By covering the entire loft floor with a continuous layer of insulation, you can create a carpet of heat-trapping material that will level off any irregularities in the floor. The water holding capacity is comparable to moderately decomposed peat, but the majority of water is retained more strongly then in peat so it extends watering intervals.It also provides a nucleus for re-wetting which makes watering management much simpler. Unfortunately we, Insulation Express, cannot deliver to the Highlands & Islands of the UK. However we will be happy to deliver to a freight forwarding company on your behalf. Nutrient buffering compliments this water buffering action and with high air content this is a very useful product as a growing medium, seed covering and compost amendment. Micafil Vermiculiteis a naturally occurring mineral expanded at high temperature to produce aerated particles - 90% air by volume. The free running properties of Vermiculite make it simple to install. Poured straight from the bag, it simply flows into and over all potential heat loss areas.Cover the whole loft floor with a continuous heat trapping carpet of insulation, level off.

Vermiculite is a 100% natural material that can be used for void fill. It is made from aluminium-iron-magnesium-silicates and consists of thin, flat flakes. Also known as Micafil, it is sold in 100 litre (3.5 cubic ft) bags of lightweight chips and it is a great alternative to polystyrene chips. Perlite is widely used in commercial hydroponics, seed starting and plant rooting, as a soil conditioner, and to enhance the water-holding and anti-compaction properties of growing soils. Due to its high insulating qualities and versatility expanded perlite is widely used in the construction industry for masonry and other build types.

Vermiculite Back Fill Insulation (100 Litre Bag )

Vermiculite significantly reduces the loss of heat in cold weather and keeps the interior cool in hot weather Vermiculite can be used for propagation from seed - its retention of water makes it good for sustaining the growth of seeds; potting compost for container planting - it retains moisture whilst protecting against adverse weather and aids re-wetting; and soil conditioning - its excellent water holding capabilities makes it an excellent addition to sandy soils or dried out ground. Sinclair Horticultural Grade Vermiculite is porous so it helps retain water & nutrients in the soil for release to plants. Vermiculite is a natural, non-toxic mineral that is lightweight and has thermal insulation properties which makes it ideal for use as a pot topper.

Perlite is a white, ultra-lightweight aggregate ranging from a very fine powder to an aggregate with a particle size up to 5mm in size SwiftAir exfoliated vermiculite and expanded perlite are absorbents and carriers. Each of these unique minerals have their own characteristics. But that is not all - Micafil has many unique properties and is a versatile performer around the home:SwiftAir coated expanded perlite is a hydrophobic insulating aggregate. This water repellent, non-flammable, loose-pour insulant improves the thermal performance on masonry walls and floors.

It usually only takes a matter of minutes to complete the form and in most cases a decision is instant and you can electronically sign the agreement. The increase in bulk volume of commercial grades is 8 to 12 times, but individual flakes may exfoliate as many as 30 times. There is a colour change during expansion that is dependent upon the composition of the vermiculite and furnace temperature. Vermiculite is irritant-free, ultra-lightweight, non-toxic, odour free and fireproof up to 1300 degrees centigradeVermiculite is easy and safe to handle and odourless whilst also being lightweight and simple to use.

Completely fireproof, non-irritant and fibre-free, very lightweight Micafil is used in so many ways. Free flowing and easy to install, it is ideal for thermal and acoustic insulation in lofts, between floors, interior cavity walls and for pipe protection. Micafil Vermiculite is completely fireproof, non-irritating, and fibre-free, making it ideal for use in a variety of applications. It is easy to install, free-flowing, and lightweight, making it perfect for thermal and acoustic insulation in lofts, between floors, interior cavity walls, and for pipe protection. This fibre free product has many applications including such as mixed with gypsum to form a fire retardant plaster for walls adjacent to a wood burning stove or one bag mixed with one bag of dry cement mixed in with twenty three litres of water produces flame retardant cement which can also be used around flue liners. 10x100 litre bags will cover 10m squared to a depth of 100mm.
