Perlite can be supplied in a number of grades, depending on the particular requirements of the application.

Drawing nutrients from the soil that surrounds them, when it comes to successfully growing from seed, cuttings or established plants, it’s essential to get your soil conditions just right. This is where vermiculite can help.

Key features

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. 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.

Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral – primarily a combination of silicon, magnesium and aluminium, it is easy to handle, sound absorbent, resistant to decay, fire-resistant and fibre-freeAnother firm favourite with keen gardeners is vermiculite. When you want to retain water, then add vermiculite to your chosen media.For propagation and water retention Using Vermiculite also reduces plant stress in extreme weather conditions due to its insulation properties. Vermiculite is easy and safe to handle, odourless, lightweight and simple to use. 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. 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.

Using Vermiculite can also aid propagation when used as a top layer as it reduces evaporation and can help ensure the seed case is lost. By using Vermiculite, you can also reduce plant stress in extreme weather conditions due to its insulation properties. The free-running properties of Vermiculite make it simple to install. Poured straight from the bag, it simply flows into and overall potential heat loss areas.

Vermiculite Back Fill Insulation (100 Litre Bag )

Vermiculite is irritant-free, ultra-lightweight, non-toxic, odour free and fireproof up to 1300 degrees centigrade We know how important your garden is to you. We've listened to our customers and introduced a new improved speedy delivery service, meaning Express deliverycomes as standard. Vermiculite Fineisgraded for horticultural use.It is lightweight, density approximately 100kg /m3, has a neutral pH (6.0-7.0), excellent insulation, retains water, and has a high porosity and high nutrient buffer capacity. Vermiculite Fine is widely used for covering fine seed during propagation and is also valuable in easing the water management of peat composts. 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. SwiftAir exfoliated vermiculite and expanded perlite are absorbents and carriers. Each of these unique minerals have their own characteristics.

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 Insulation granules are designed to be poured down either side of a multi-fuel Flexible Chimney Liner to keep the flue warm, maintain an efficient draw and reduce the build-up of condensates. It also provides the additional benefit of holding the liner rigid for cleaning. Perlite insulation is used in high temperature applications in the steel and foundry industries such as ladle topping, hot topping and risering. Potting compost for container planting – it retains moisture, protects against adverse weather and aids re-wetting
