The use of «RosEcoMat Woolen Ribbon» Gap Filling Wool will prolong the service life of a wooden house: the cold does not enter through the joints inside the log (beam) walls, the moisture in the wood is less frozen, and this means a reduction in the number of cracks.
The wool fibers are treated against both smell and insects Thanks to its elastic and springy structure, the insulator fills the entire space between the logs or beams, thus eliminating cold bridges. During shrinkage of walls or expansion of gaps between logs, the material is able to shrink and straighten — gap filling wool compensates fluctuations in the wood volume. Fibers over time do not sink and do not densify, therefore not losing their original qualities. Sheep’s wool perfectly accumulates moisture (up to 30% of its own weight), as a result, the house with wool insulation will have a perfect microclimate, additional vapor barrier is not necessary.
The width of the rolls is selected according to the size of the log, beam or available on it profile grooves designed specifically for gap filling insulation. If necessary, for a tight fitting of the logs, it is practiced to lay in two or even more layers — depending on the geometry of the beam or log.
The installation is not complicated — the insulation tape is fixed to the wood with stapler staples.
Wool does not burn. Wool requires 25,2% of oxygen to ignite. The atmosphere air contains only about 21% oxygen. The ignition temperature of wool is 580°C. — Sheep wool is hypoallergenic.
Gap filling insulation is produced from quality merino wool, the best, which is characterized by a number of remarkable properties
- high durability;
- excellent vapor permeability;
- hygroscopicity,
- neutralizes unpleasant smells;
- fine fibers (23 microns), guaranteeing excellent thermal insulation
