Blaticfloc Bflex Cellulose Wool Slabs

What are BFlex cellulose wool slabs?

Balticfloc BFlex cellulose insulation slabs are made primarily from cellulose fibers obtained by recycling waste paper. During manufacturing, binder and textile fibers are added to transform the loose cellulose fibers into soft, flexible slabs that retain their shape while remaining easy to cut and fit.

This gives BFlex many of the characteristics associated with cellulose insulation in a format suitable for direct installation.

Why choose BFlex cellulose wool slabs?

BFlex wool slabs provide an alternative to blown cellulose insulation when a project calls for direct installation. The slabs can be cut with a knife or saw and fitted between framing members without specialized blowing equipment.

Key properties include:

• shape and volume stability that helps the slabs remain in place without settling;
• moisture-buffering properties that allow the cellulose fibers to absorb and release water vapor;
• sound absorption provided by the dense fiber structure;
• straightforward installation using common cutting tools.

Thanks to these advantages, BFlex cellulose wool slabs are a suitable choice for both experienced professionals and homeowners who want to tackle insulation projects themselves.

What makes BFlex cellulose wool slabs different?

BFlex cellulose wool slabs combine the familiar properties of cellulose insulation with a format designed for direct installation. Beyond thermal insulation, its construction affects how it handles moisture, maintains its shape and performs over time.

Versatile applications

Balticfloc BFlex cellulose wool slabs can be installed in timber-frame walls and exterior wall structures to reduce heat transfer through the building envelope. They can also be fitted between rafters in pitched roofs or used within floor and ceiling structures.

Because the slabs can be cut to fit the available space, they are particularly useful where insulation needs to be installed directly between framing members.

Made in Latvia

Balticfloc manufactures BFlex wool slabs in Latvia using recycled paper fibers as the primary raw material. Local production allows Balticfloc to control the manufacturing process while supplying customers throughout Latvia efficiently.

Suitable for DIY installation

Unlike loose-fill cellulose insulation, BFlex cellulose insulation slabs do not require blowing equipment. The material can be measured, cut and fitted directly into the structure using common tools.

This can make BFlex particularly useful for homeowners completing their own insulation projects. Although the price per cubic meter may be higher than loose-fill cellulose insulation, there is no need to arrange specialized blowing equipment for installation.

Direct installation does require careful measuring and cutting. Each slab needs to fit closely within the available space to avoid gaps in the insulation layer.

Stable shape and volume

BFlex cellulose wool slabs are manufactured at a controlled density to help them retain their shape after installation. Unlike loose-fill material, the slabs are designed to remain in position within vertical and sloped structures without settling toward the bottom of the cavity. This helps maintain consistent insulation coverage over time.

Helps manage moisture

The cellulose fibers in BFlex can absorb and release water vapor as surrounding conditions change. This moisture-buffering capacity can help manage short-term changes in humidity within a properly designed building structure.

As with other fiber insulation, BFlex should be combined with appropriate vapor control and weather-protection layers where required by the building design.

Resistant to pests

Mineral salts are incorporated into BFlex during production to help protect the cellulose fibers against pests. This protection is built into the insulation itself, helping the material maintain its condition throughout its service life.

Improved fire performance

Additives incorporated into the wool slabs improve the fire performance of the cellulose fibers. When exposed to fire, the material can form a charred surface layer that helps slow further burning.

Balticfloc BFlex for new builds and renovations

Balticfloc BFlex wool slabs offer a convenient way to incorporate recycled cellulose insulation into new construction or renovation projects. With reliable insulating performance and a ready-to-install slab format, BFlex provides a versatile option for homeowners and professionals looking for a more sustainable approach to insulation.
