Thermal insulation of a house has many more benefits than just reducing heat loss. It also means lower energy consumption for heating, increased comfort in using the interior, enhanced fire safety, improved acoustic comfort, and extended house structure lifespan.
Insulation also serves a cooling function, especially during the summer months. The concept of insulation complements the overall exterior aesthetics of the house, and ultimately, insulating the house increases its value.
Achieving a sufficiently low U-value is essential to prevent heat loss in winter and comply with relevant building regulations. At the same time, attention must be paid to creating exterior cladding with adequate heat storage capacity so that its slow reaction to temperature fluctuations can counteract excessive heat on hot summer days.
From January 1, 2016, the design of external walls must meet the standardized value of thermal resistance R = 4.4 m2K/W (U = 0.22 W/(m2.K)).
From January 1, 2021, it is recommended to design all new buildings and renovated buildings to a target thermal resistance of R = 6.5 m2K/W (U = 0.15 W/(m2.K)) for external walls.
An ideal solution is a ventilated wooden façade.
To maintain the walls' diffusion properties, wood fiberboards or mineral wool must be used, as well as a render that allows water vapor to pass through
Sound
Mechanical vibrations that propagate through flexible media due to the vibrations of material particles around their equilibrium position, causing densification and dilution of the media.
Airborne sound
Sound that propagates through the air, such as music from a radio.
Structure-borne sound
Sound that propagates in solid materials, such as from a percussion drill
Footstep sound
Sound generated by walking, including on ceilings and stairs, in the form of structure-borne sound, which partially penetrates into adjacent rooms in the form of airborne sound.
Acoustic insulation is an important criterion for the quality of residential and working spaces in buildings.
Acoustic insulation is an important criterion for the quality of residential and working spaces in buildings. Standard STN 73 0532 regulates minimal building requirements.
In the case of family homes, versions with effective sound insulation should always be chosen, as legal requirements here apply not only to the standard but also to generally accepted principles of construction technology.
When planning larger projects, such as family homes or public buildings, the sound insulation specified by the standard is always ensured. Careful planning is necessary to achieve the required or agreed-upon sound insulation values. This, of course, also applies to walls in the Massiv-Holz-Mauer® system.
MASSIV-HOLZ-MAUER® has a fire protection classification of REI 90 (F90 B).
While other building materials commonly used in the industry are usually classified only in terms of fire protection REI 30 (F30).
The wood in the MASSIV-HOLZ-MAUER® wall contains up to 15% water, which must first evaporate in case of fire (150 liters of water per ton of wood). When it burns, the upper layer turns into wooden charcoal, which, due to its extreme porosity, acts as an insulating layer and does not allow hot air to pass through to the deeper layers of the MHM wall. Oxygen can no longer penetrate the wood, and its combustion is significantly slowed down. Due to the low thermal conductivity of wood, the risk of self-ignition is also very low.
Walls
REI 90 for walls with a thickness of 20.5 cm or thicker, with one-sided cladding with 18 mm plasterboard - classification report no. KB 3.2 / 14-013-3 issued by the German certification body MFPA Leipzig GmbH on 30.06.2015.
Fire reaction - European class D-s2, dO.
According to temperature and humidity calculations, thermal insulation should be used to prevent the formation of dew points inside the wall. Calculations according to EN ISO 13788 show that for an apartment building with a perimeter wall thickness of 20.5 cm, 10 cm of wool with λ = 0.039 W / (m * K) is sufficient.
Building insulation is applied in the same way as masonry technologies. As in any modern building, walls susceptible to moisture should be protected from humidity (for example, using liquid waterproofing).
The tightness of joints and the quality of the mutual contact of elements play a decisive role in achieving tightness. To ensure the normative wind resistance, which every supplier is obliged to adhere to according to the European technical approval, we apply the following:
If it is necessary to ensure a tightness of n50 <0.6 1/h for a passive building, the entire surface of the external partitions should be covered with wind insulation, which is sealed at the joints in accordance with the chosen wind insulation system. Such a construction is tested with a so-called blower test.
