WALL INSULATION:
Insulation of external walls improves thermal insulation capacity - improves energy efficiency of the external wall and in consequence reduces the cost of heating the building and improves comfort. Insulation of external walls applies to new building and is an important part of the design, but also applies to already existing buildings.
VestaEco boards are used when erecting new buildings but also during thermal insulation process of already existing buildings. Proper selection of the product allows to use it in brick and mortar buildings, as well as timber frame buildings.
VestaEco WALL is often used in ETICS system used to insulate masonry walls because of the high vapour-permeability of the lignocellulosic fibres, ease of processing and because it provides a stable base for mineral plasters. Diffusion-open structure enables removal of large amounts of technological water which may evaporate from the building for years after it has been occupied.
Using VestaEco boards in wooden constructions and timber frame houses as sheathing of external walls increases the building’s thermal inertia. As a result buildings do not cool out as fast as when other insulation materials are used. It is possible thanks to the high thermal capacity of lignocellulosic fibres. High stiffness of VestaEco PROTECT boards allows for connecting them between wooden studs without the use of supporting OSB boards. Elastic structure of the fibres facilitates mounting the boards serving as external insulation from the inside.
VestaEco boards are perfect for insulation of ventilated façades from cement-fibre boards, siding and metal panels, but also as insulation of cavity walls. They can also be used to insulate from the inside buildings like log cabins or listed buildings, when altering the façade is impossible.
Wide range of VestaEco façade products makes it possible to use them in almost every building and technology. VestaEco WALL – for masonry walls, VestaEco PROTECT for frame constructions, VestaEco INTERNAL – insulation from the inside. The offer is complemented by special finishes of the products, i.e. reinforcing mesh which additionally increases the resistance to impact of exposed parts or a wind barrier, which increases the building’s insulation. Boards with external layer of increased density are recommended in particular for façades of masonry walls as they combine high thermal insulation parameters with improved mechanical and acoustic parameters.

ROOF INSULATION:
A roof is a light envelope which must provide adequate micro climate to the interiors and secure them against natural precipitation, excessive loss of heat, wind, noise and other external conditions.
VestaEco roof insulation products meet all those hydrophobic requirements.
VestaEco ROOF over rafter insulation system being the best example, with rigid, high density roof boards being its key component. Thanks to them heat losses due to transmission via rafters will be reduced to the minimum, and the costs of heating will be lower. VestaEco boards can also be used inside as an additional layer of insulation under rafters, which completely eliminates thermal bridges resulting from thermal conductivity of wood used to construct the roof.
In case of an unused attic, it is necessary to provide additional insulation of the ceiling, which can be done by filling the space between the beams with VestaEco INTERNAL or using an insulation material on the wooden ceiling. VestaEco FLAT S is recommended for insulation ofwooden ceilings, as it has an external increased density layer providing increased mechanical resistance should there be a need to make repairs on the roof.
As a result of their hydrophobic properties and high compressibility, VestaEco boards are a perfect fit for insulation of flat roofs with traditional arrangement of layers and insulation of ventilated flat roofs.

FLOOR INSULATION:
Special care should be taken when insulating floors placed directly on the ground, as well as those above basements or passages. Properly designed thermal insulated guaranteed increased comfort of use of a room. The floor is the only construction envelope with which the users have constant and direct contact.
Floors based directly on their ground on their entire surface are insulated with SCREED or SCREED R boards equipped with a reflective layer, which reflects the heat back inside the building. The thickness of the insulation layer should not be lower than 10 cm. Insulation boards are places on a membrane or bitumen based moisture barrier, or other waterproofing materials. Screed layer which covers the insulation boards should be reinforced with a mesh and separated from walls with a special thermoplastic tame or thin strips of VestaEco FILL wool. This condition mus be met to ensure proper acoustic parameters and avoid sound transfer of impact sounds from the floor.
In case of floors on floor joists, the boards must be placed on a clean and dry surface. The boards should not be squeezed between the joists to fill the entire surface. At least a 1 cm ventilation gap must be preserved between the wooden floor and VestaEco wool boards. The minimal thickness of the board is 10 cm.
VestaEco FLOOR and VestaEco FLOOR R boards used to insulate ceilings between individual floors of a building have two functions: thermal and acoustic insulation. Acoustic insulation is particularly important in regards to wooden ceilings between individual floors. The use of VestaEco FILL insulating spacers on the beams is the easiest way to improve the acoustic insulation of a wooden ceiling. The spacers are mounted between the beams and sheathing. The spacers can be used only in a ceiling where the sheathing does not cooperate with the beams to stiffen the ceiling. If the sheathing cooperates with the beams the use of such spacers is prohibited, because they would render such cooperation impossible.
The so called floating floors are often used in residential and office buildings with concrete ceilings. The layers of the floor are placed in a way which ensured that VestaEco FLOOR sound dampening boards divide the floor and the construction of the ceiling and walls.

INTERIOR FURNISHING:
High quality LIGHT MDF boards with uniform surface have a wide range of use in production of furniture, interiors furnishing elements, wall panels, construction woodwork inside the building. When used as filling of internal doors, it greatly increases their acoustic parameters. Perfect as a base for wood veneers, laminates and other types of veneers.
During finishing the boards can be easily cut, drilled, milled and shaped in a way which will fantastic, most complex shape while preserving the stability of the measurement.
Swelling or expanding of the board due to contact with water is at best minimal. They are perfect to finish walls, floors and ceilings in bathrooms, kitchens and attics and to produce furniture and furnishing to those rooms.
The entire board has a homogeneous build. pMDI resin was used in their production, which means that the harmful formaldehyde was completely eliminated. The product weights 40% less than standard MDF boards while preserving similar strength characteristics which limits material consumption during production and lowers the costs of transportation.
VestaEco FILL is the second product which is perfect to fill out prefabricated elements like light ceiling bearing beams, roofs and walls, which allows to completely eliminate linear thermal bridges. The system can be used both on a construction site and during prefabrication of houses.
