House warming using ecowool

Using Cellulose Fiber for thermal insulation of the house has a number of advantages:

• You can not use a vapor barrier film - it will save money and decrease labor costs;
• Easy installation - filling all voids, it is not always possible when using plate heat insulation, foam, etc. Therefore, heat losses are reduced and less effort;
• Rodents refuse to live in this cake - floor, ceiling and walls remain intact and are not blown;
• Does not burn;
• With increasing humidity to 30% ekovaty thermal insulation characteristics are not impaired, unlike mineralnovatnogo heaters similar origin, which lose their properties when 5.8% humidity. Because in ordinary rooms, steam is not required, and there is no effect of the plastic bag;
• Formaldegidovyh environmentally friendly mineral wool insulation;
• In non-residential attic insulation may be left open;
• The walls of waterproof film is not necessary if the wall is protected wood trim, for example block-house, or used as a windshield plate OSB, fiberboard or LSU;
• If the insulation of exterior, the waterproof film is necessarily necessary.

FIFA (User FORUMHOUSE):

He shares his experience ecowool home insulation. Insulate the walls of a frame house. Initially we bought IZOSPAN and using a stapler to attach it to the posts. Done correctly, stretched as it should, take IZOSPAN thicker - is not clear.

Then he invited a team that blows ecowool. They arrived about an hour and still blew. After FIFA checked the work, there were deficiencies. They were found in the corners at the top, where the hose does not crawl. Doduli made and left a few holes.

I get the picture - bulging mattresses on the walls, but FIFA was pleased.
He became the bulge to press, it appears that almost every cell, between the posts, the corners are empty! He began to drive the wool from the center to the corners. But it is not so easy! Where were raskosiny, he even had to make extra holes and hand lay a wool. Again, he's fixed the stapler, somewhere added somewhere invested Ursu, when wool was over. Thus, he fussed 2 days. Fortunate to have left half a sack of insulation.

FIFA believes that the most optimal - a blow, all distributed as follows, and even blow out again.

FIFA is going to live in a house in the summer, so do not be angry: And so it goes. But for those who want to live permanently, it is necessary to take into account all. He advises not to blow through the drywall or plywood, as a campaigning "expert" - a "pig in a poke."

Cellulose Fiber consumption

User FORUMHOUSE Mister_i calculated and reported that a bag of 15 kg costs 300 - 350 rubles. in Moscow.

Cellulose Fiber Consumption for manual installation is as follows:

• The walls - 4 bags / m3;
• The roof - 3.5 sac / m3;
• The slabs 3 bags / m3;
• On the subfloor recommends to lay anything to ecowool I did not wake up for the first time, such as kraft paper;
• After a simple filling fluff ecowool she prosyadet percent to 15-20%.

In addition to the material there are other costs that must also be considered to compare the correctness of using a variety of heaters.

Igor D(User FORUMHOUSE):

Reported that finished insulate the ceiling and walls. In the wall -. 45-50 kg per cubic meter. The ceiling exactly 35 kg per m. Cubic.

Ecowool he fluffs manually, using a drill with an attachment, poured, pritrambovyvali dustpan. He said that the work of independent fluffs and filling - it's not child labor, around dust and dirt.

There are however, a big plus - the gradual and no holes. He is against a vapor barrier because it cuts off one of the main advantages of Cellulose Fiber. It is because of the desire to make the attic floor breathing he chose ecowool.

The manufacturer guarantees that ecowool without loss of thermal conductivity, can dial up to 20 percent by volume of moisture. For example: in the house at this point in the floor, walls and ceiling, a half ton of Cellulose Fiber - that is 8 cubic meters, and in which 300 kg of water. This amount of moisture in the form of steam in the house is hard to find. Features ecowool that it picks up and gives the water. That is ecowool as wood, supports in-house humidity of 45-55 per cent, the best for a person's life. Cellulose Fiber Permeability of about 0.3 Mg / (h * m * Pa).

winter air in the house is still drier than it should. The ability of wood / ecowool give moisture into the room a little bit exaggerated. In winter, the transfer of water vapor is still directed towards the street.

Parameters of the optimal temperature and humidity inside the premises are registered in our SNIP, and the European directives on construction. If the climatic conditions or the wall structure does not allow safe use ecowool without a vapor barrier, then put it. Some restrictions on the use of the material as the main insulation is not.

How does Ecowool

On FORUMHOUSE asked the question, "How does ecowool and why she looks like shredded paper, where you can even see the letters, at a cost of 15 kg?"

Igor D.:

Neither I nor my friends, nor met ecowool similar to newspaper pieces. She looks like a uniform gray dust or asbestos, only gray. Four bags handles frayed and laid the wall and did not meet the scraps of newspapers, especially with the letters.

He says that the process of preparing the walls for dry blowing is very important and depends on the quality of insulation, and its stability and durability.

In the beginning you need to select the correct covering material:

• Izospan in this case - is not the best choice - it stretches and is prone to the formation of "cushion".
• Kraft paper works better - it does not last, can withstand severe loads.

Next, he drew attention to the fixation of the material on the wall. Insufficient tension, or simply mount brackets are usually in the best case will cause the formation of pillows and overspending of the material, and at worst - will tear off places brackets to increase the volume, resulting in places ecowool prosyadet wall. To avoid this, he advises to fix using tape or kontrobreshetki, racks.

And, the third on that paulspb pay attention to this installation. Many believe that this is a simple operation - put the hose and fills the volume itself. However, it is not. There is a certain method of filling cavities wool so as to form a homogeneous layer on density, without loose "bags" and purged pockets.

adhesive method

Wet-glue method is also not easy, and the working conditions can be very different.
Wet-adhesive method is used when necessary thin layer of insulation, 5-10 cm thick, then into the open frame by means of a hose with a special nozzle wool applied with an adhesive solution.

for blowing Cellulose Fiber technology makes plug on the panel. In it a few holes with a diameter somewhere 55-57 mm. In one opening of the insert rubber gasket with an inner diameter sewer 50. Through this opening, the panel is pushed in sewer plastic pipe 50 mm, through which the fed wadding. On the reverse side is fixed stub stapler foam sheet thickness of about 2 cm. Foam protrudes slightly beyond the edge of the plug to seal the gap. It is attached to the cover panel, a pair of screws. After blowing turns and puts full-time.

GOOSE(User FORUMHOUSE):

ecowool not osypetsya. Photographs are just laid wool without any GCR. In those two days, she had stood up photographing until nothing came off.

filling method he invented himself. Everything is very simple. He takes a piece of the desired size plywood and screwed to the studs, and then falls asleep wool rams. Unscrews plywood, lifts, sleeps wool rams. And so on until the top. Then fastens the FCL on the rack.

paulspb (User FORUMHOUSE):

immediately after the first blow, on trial, he shot trim and do not crumbled. But he advises, "What a couple of days is better not to remove the formwork, even cotton will stand on the wall - the fibers are linked with each other better."
