Characteristic and features of the insulation of ecowan

Ecowata is a loose thermal insulation material, which contains a large amount of cellulose, about eighty percent, and additives in the form of various kinds of antipypeed substances and antiseptic components.

In addition, Ecowata differs in the presence of mineral salt, which has a strong antiseptic and antifungal effect.

Due to the fact that cellulose is present in the composition of the ecovata, it prevents thermal losses and is of good stability before mechanical damage. After applying the material, a rather strong seamless coating is formed, which performs the function of insulation.

Since cellulose is distinguished by instability to moisture, fire and microorganisms, additives that improve its opposition to the fungus and mold, as well as increasing its fire safety, are added into the composition of the ecovata.

Most often, such components act in the form of such additives:

• The use of the brown helps to reduce the fire hazard of the material, after introducing this component, ecowatus is attributed to the materials of the second class of fire safety, its use in the process of insulation of chimneys or other areas subject to high temperature is unacceptable, however, in the process of wall insulation, the ceiling is the ideal. option;
• With the help of boric acid, the rotten rot is prevented, in addition, ecowata becomes stable in front of rodents and various kinds of insects, its resistance to the spread of the fungus or mold also increases.

We offer to familiarize yourself with the technical indicators of the ecovy materials:

• Ecowata has a coefficient of thermal conduction in 0.038-0.041 W/MK;
• In the ratio with the method of styling, the density of the ecovy varies varies from 25 to 95 kilograms per cubic meter;
• the material is attributed to the second class of combustibility;
• In addition, Ecowata is vapor permeable and breathable at a fairly low level.

Ecowata photos, advantages and disadvantages

If we compare Ecowata with other alternative options, such as mineral wool, polystyrene foam or slag, then according to thermal conductivity, it is at the same level. Despite this, this material has obvious advantages that highlight it against the background of other heater:

1. The ability to absorb and then evaporate moisture.

Despite the fact that the material has a low vapor permeability coefficient, Ecowata absorbs moisture quite well. If we compare it with mineral wool, which also has such a property, ecowata, in the process of saturation of moisture, does not change indicators of thermal conductivity and other physical characteristics. Even with 30% saturation of moisture, Ecowata is able to lose only 3% of the properties. At the same time, in the process of drying it, moisture gradually evaporates from the material. If you install an ecowide in a wooden house, it will become a natural regulator of the microclimate in the room, if necessary, it will take the excess moisture from the air, and with a decrease in humidity, it will give them.

Keep in mind that the installation is ecowan in rooms with a high level of humidity or in basement are unacceptable. Since the material will absorb a large amount of moisture without evaporating it.

2. Creation of seamless heat -insulating coating.

Ecowata has a form of loose homogeneous mass, which is installed both simply by pouring and by using a compressor installation. In the process of high -quality installation of the ecovite, a seamless overlap is obtained, in which there are no cold bridges that worsen thermal insulation.

3. Great soundproofing characteristics.

Due to the low throughput of Ecowatus, it has good soundproofing properties, which means that after its installation you should not additionally take care of sound insulation. Ecowata creates an atmosphere of comfort and comfort in the house.

4. harmlessness for health and environmental safety.

This quality is the most important factor for choosing ecowan. This material does not contain phenol or other components that have a negative effect on human health. The use of drill and boric acid is safe, as they are not able to evaporate from ecowine.

5. Using Ecowata as a heater, it is possible to significantly save on heating the house in the winter season.

Despite this, this material has such shortcomings:

• low vapor permeability, does not allow air to circulate normally in the room;
• In case of non -compliance with the technology of laying the material, Ecowata is not able to properly perform its functions.

Ecowata - Application as a heater

Due to the fact that Ecowata is characterized by a huge number of advantages, the scope of its use is quite extensive. Ecowata insulation is used for such purposes:

• insulation of residential buildings, cottages, cottages;
• insulation of multi -storey buildings of public and residential purposes, especially relevant for multi -storey buildings located in a noisy city, Ecowata protects them from noise;
• industrial or production areas;
• arrangement of outlets and warehouses;
• thermal insulation of pools, baths, saunas;
• thermal insulation of cafes, restaurants, theaters, cinema, etc.;
• Due to environmental safety, the use of ecovaty is allowed in children's institutions in the form of schools, kindergartens, as well as in medical institutions, hospitals, sanatoriums.

In addition, Ecowata is used to ensure good sound insulation in places such as recording studios, acoustic rooms.

The room for the insulation of which was used by Ecowata has optimal humidity, air temperature, and also does not contain harmful substances in the air. In the ratio with more concretized sections, Ecowata has found application:

• When conducting thermal insulation work in facade areas, wet spraying is used for these purposes;
• In the process of insulation of the walls of the room or building, it is possible to lay the insulation in the walls when they create or after the construction of the house;
• To ensure thermal insulation in the attic or on the roof, for these purposes, dry blowing is most often used, ecowata is laid directly on the coating or on an already laid other type of insulation;
• Ecowcated floor insulation allows, without arranging a warm floor in the building, to achieve almost the same thermal insulation effect;
• A decrease in thermal losses in the attic, two methods are used for these purposes - manual masonry - on the floor, dry blowing - on the walls.

Also, a dry stucco mixture is made from ecovata, which allows you to process brick, concrete or pre-painted surfaces, improving their heat and sound insulation characteristics.

Ways to insulate the house of ecowide and their characteristic

Ecowata is available in the form of a bulk substance, which consists of a certain number of cellulose fibers. In order to improve the convenience of transportation and storage, it is produced by briquettes. After opening the packaging, Ekovatata increases several times in volume.

There are several ways to lay ecovites, with which the thermal insulation of certain sections of the building is carried out.

1. Installation of ecovy using a wet method.

This method of laying ecovata involves the use of a binder, namely lignin. With its help, Ecowata is moistened and retained well on the surface on which it is applied. Thus, a heater is formed, the density of which is about 53 kilograms per cubic meter.

This method copes with the insulation of block houses made of brick. Before applying the material, a crate is made, which is based on a wooden beam or steel profile. The application of the material is carried out by a special device, which creates a certain pressure for its supply. In addition, in the process of operation, the nozzle of the device should be wetted with water so that the ecowuta is easily applied to the surface.

This way of laying is the simplicity of execution and good productivity. Among the shortcomings of its implementation, there is a need to buy or rent a special device, with which the heat -insulating material is supplied.

If necessary, in warming with a wet method of vertical surfaces or complex areas, it is required in the water that moisturizes the device, add special adhesive -based additives. They will help improve adhesion of material with the surface.

Next, cutting the material is made in the ratio with the level, its drying. Excess ecovati are used a second time to apply the material to other surfaces, while it does not lose their characteristics. Therefore, this method of laying ecowan is also called non -waste.

2. Ecowata installation with a dry method.

Another fairly common method of laying ecowan is its installation in a dry way. To carry out the installation of ecovata, it will require only a special nozzle for a drill and a drill itself, which is reducing the material. To do this, a dry mixture is placed in a special container, and it is fluffing it until it fills the entire space. Further, Ecowata is compacted until it becomes elastic.

The calculation of the ecovata established using a dry method is made in this way:

m \u003d g*f*k, where:

• m - ecowata consumption, the required amount of material;
• g - the total area of \u200b\u200bthe element that is undergoing insulation;
• f - the thickness of the application of ecowan;
• k is the value of the density of the material.

With a horizontal distribution of optimal, the density of 44 kilograms per cubic meter is considered, and with vertical - 64.

3. Industrial installation of ecovata.

This method is the highest quality and technologically correct, since the fluffing of the ecovyat is carried out using special equipment, in the form of a compressor installation. Before this, the crate is made, which is completely closed with a film or craft of paper. Further, the ecowuta is supplied to the surface with a special hose, thus, the material is evenly distributed over the entire surface and even falls into the smallest corners. After that, opening and completion of the installation of ecovata are launched and completed.

DIY Ecowry Warming: Installation Technology

If necessary, in the use of ecowan in small areas, it is allowed to lay it manually. Although this method of laying is distinguished by some disadvantages, since the quality of such insulation is an order of magnitude lower than that of the ecowine laid out industrial method. The consumption of the material, with manual installation of ecowan, is much higher than with industrial. Despite this, this method has certain advantages. If it is planned to thermal insulation of a small section of the building, then you do not need to spend money on calling a construction team with a special tool. To perform work, one person is enough.

To reduce the volume of packaging and in order to increase the convenience of transporting mineral wool, it faces compacted, that is, compressed. Therefore, before the installation of the ecovya, it should be excited with their own hands, giving the material to the volume.

To warm with your own hands, perform a number of actions:

1. Draw Ecowatus from the packaging and place it in a specially prepared container. Using an electric drill and a nozzle for mixing, give the volume ecovite. It should increase at least three times. Now the material is ready for use.

2. Material is laid on the surface with pre -stacked vapor barrier or craft -bum. Ecowata is laid on the surface and leveled on it. Keep in mind that in terms of density, the insulation should be about 44 kg per cubic meter.

3. If it is planned to insulate the inter -story ceiling or attic, then the thickness of the layer of ecowine should be at least 18 cm.

4. After laying the material, you should leave it on the surface for two, three days.

5. When warming the floor, ecowata is laid in layers, most often it is located in the space between the lags.

6. After the installation of the ecovata, thick paper should be laid on it, which will help to compress the insulation.
