Abstract
This article traces the century-old history of using a thermal and acoustic insulation panel called SOLOMIT. It presents some of Sergei Nicolajewitsch Tchayeff’s patents, on the basis of which production and installation took place. The survey section provides examples of the use of this building component in Australia, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, the Soviet Union and Spain. It pays attention to applications in the 1950s and 1960s in collectivized agriculture in Czechoslovakia. It also presents the results of measuring the thermal conductivity of a panel sample, which was obtained during the reconstruction of a cottage built in the 1950s and 1960s of the 20th century. Even today, SOLOMIT finds its application all over the world, mainly due to its thermal insulation and acoustic properties and other features, such as low maintenance requirements, attractive appearance and structure and cost-effectiveness.
Highlights
This paper aimed to monitor a hundred years of production of panels for which the name SOLOMIT was used, and generalize the reasons for their long-term production
An overview of the historical development and use of natural insulation material SOLOMIT is beneficial in terms of rational energy management for heating
The incorporation of the SOLOMIT panel into the multi-layer panel allows choosing the surfacing according to the future purpose of the building
Summary
This paper aimed to monitor a hundred years of production of panels for which the name SOLOMIT was used, and generalize the reasons for their long-term production. A significant share of energy consumption is the energy used for heating or cooling in the summer This requires the improvement of the thermal-technical properties of buildings by using suitable thermal insulation. Sustainable development involves the use of renewable resources and the use of materials that are natural, ecological and renewable One of these sources is straw, the production of which in the cultivation of cereals and rapeseed is inevitable, but still underappreciated. Hay, and reed were used as fillers, mainly to reduce the heat loss of buildings. Mixtures of these materials (e.g., clay and straw) were used very often. Straw is used for the production of thermal insulation panels from natural materials. Note: The column “binder” indicates whether or not a binder (chemical) was used for the cohesion of the elementary particles of the material
