No. SupaSoft is completely itch-free and safe to handle without gloves or protective clothing. You can fit it comfortably and stress-free. 

Note: We do recommend wearing a simple dust mask if you are working in tight, enclosed spaces like a loft.

There are roughly 800 recycled plastic bottles packed into every single pack. That breaks down to about 136.7 bottles saved for every square meter you choose to insulate with SupaSoft.

SupaSoft is compressed during packaging to reduce plastic wrap waste and lower shipping carbon. The internal binder relaxes and expands faster in warm temperatures. While it expands in just a couple of weeks during summer, it can take up to 6 weeks in dry winter weather – though once laid, the natural heat from your home will quickly help it reach its full, thick design depth.

Diverts Plastic Waste: A typical SupaSoft loft project saves nearly 12,000 single use plastic bottles from going to landfills, oceans, or incinerators. 

Lowers Carbon Footprint: By stopping plastic packaging from being burned (which releases fossil CO2) and trapping heat in your home, it actively fights climate change. 

Reduces Eco-Impact: It is 100% recyclable at the end of its life, and because it is compressed for shipping, it takes less transport space.

SupaSoft is made to last for the entire lifetime of your building. Because the binding fibres are made from durable polyester, the insulation will not degrade, sag, or slump over time. It has a lifespan of at least 60 years.

SupaSoft can be used for insulating lofts, floors, sheds and vans.  However, it should not be used in masonry cavity walls (e.g. the gap inside brick-and-block walls), and it cannot be installed below a building’s damp proof course (DPC). 

Note that SupaSoft is not classified as non-combustible and must not be used where non-combustible materials are legally mandated.
