Cotton fibre-based thermo-acoustic recycled denim insulation.
• Good insulating capacity against thermal losses in winter and heat transmittance in the summer.
• Vapour-open.
• Possesses outstanding sound-insulation properties.
Product description
PAVATEXTIL P is a soft thermo-acoustic insulation board based on cotton fibres (85%), originating from recycled textile (jeans and velvet), and polyester fibres (15%).
The cotton fibres have hydrophilic and hygroscopic properties and have been subjected to anti-bacterial, fungal and flame retardant treatments, making them resistant to dust mites and mould.
PAVATEXTIL P is mainly installed together with a vapour barrier between the wooden or metal framework, on the inside of walls and sloped roofs. It can also be used in attic floors.
Always consult the local regulations and installation guidelines of the manufacturer.
Don’t forget to order an insulation knife if you don’t already have one! It’ll make your life much easier if you need to cut any of the insulation batts!

FAQs
PAVATEXTIL-P Insulation FAQs
What is PAVATEXTIL-P insulation?
PAVATEXTIL-P is a soft thermo-acoustic insulation board made from recycled cotton fibres (approximately 85 %) sourced from denim and velvet textiles, combined with about 15 % polyester fibres. It delivers effective thermal and acoustic insulation while promoting a healthy indoor environment.
Where can PAVATEXTIL-P be installed?
PAVATEXTIL-P is mainly installed inside walls and sloped roofs, typically between timber or metal frameworks with an AVCL (Airtightness and Vapour Control Layer). It can also be used in attic or loft floors. Always follow local building regulations and manufacturer installation guidelines.
What thicknesses are available for PAVATEXTIL-P insulation?
PAVATEXTIL-P is available in a wide range of thicknesses, typically from 45 mm up to 200 mm, allowing different levels of thermal and acoustic performance depending on the build requirements.
What are the thermal resistance values (Rd) of PAVATEXTIL-P?
The thermal resistance of PAVATEXTIL-P increases with thickness. For example:
• 45 mm ≈ 1.15 m²·K/W
• 100 mm ≈ 2.55 m²·K/W
• 160 mm ≈ 4.10 m²·K/W
• 200 mm ≈ 5.10 m²·K/W
What is the thermal conductivity of PAVATEXTIL-P?
PAVATEXTIL-P has a declared thermal conductivity of about 0.039 W/m·K, providing good insulation performance for a recycled textile-based material.
Is PAVATEXTIL-P breathable and suitable for moisture management?
Yes. The natural cotton fibres are vapour-open and hygroscopic, helping regulate moisture within building assemblies and reducing the risk of trapped condensation when used with appropriate membranes.
What acoustic performance does PAVATEXTIL-P offer?
PAVATEXTIL-P delivers strong sound insulation performance, with an acoustic noise reduction index around Rw + C 39 dB, helping to reduce airborne noise transmission through walls and floors.
How does PAVATEXTIL-P perform in fire safety classifications?
PAVATEXTIL-P has a reaction to fire classification of Euroclass E under EN 13501-1, consistent with many natural and recycled fibre insulation products.
How should PAVATEXTIL-P insulation be stored?
Insulation boards should be stored flat, kept dry and protected from direct sunlight. Pallets should not be stacked, to preserve board integrity before installation.
Is PAVATEXTIL-P environmentally friendly and safe?
Yes. PAVATEXTIL-P does not contain substances likely to be harmful to health or the environment, complies with general health and safety requirements, and supports sustainable building by making use of recycled textile fibres.
How do you cut PAVATEXTIL-P insulation on site?
PAVATEXTIL-P can be cut using A PAVATEX Insulation Knife, Bahco Insulation Saw or suitable special serrated blades for fibrous insulations. Cutting should be done on a stable surface, allowing a slight oversize cut to ensure a tight friction fit between studs or rafters. Basic PPE such as gloves and eye protection is recommended.
Why choose PAVATEXTIL-P for sustainable building projects?
PAVATEXTIL-P combines recycled materials, vapour openness, thermal efficiency and strong acoustic performance. Its sustainable origins and indoor comfort benefits make it a strong choice for eco-friendly builds and renovation projects where healthy indoor climates and low environmental impact are priorities.
