Facade Insulation from Wood-Fiber Boards in The Burning Process

Abstract

The article focuses on the study of wood-fiber insulation intended for facade insulation of buildings, and on monitoring the properties of selected insulation materials under thermal load. Two types of insulation materials were selected - plain fiberboard, used as an underlay for plasters, and fiberboard with bitumen, which is used mainly for ventilated facades. The selected material and its preparation for the test itself are described in the methods. The thermal analysis used and its measurement principle are further defined. The main objective was to evaluate the recorded measurements based on three curves - the TG, DTG, and DSC curves. The curves are determinative when examining the application of the thermal load and subsequent material comparison. The outputs from the measurements are presented in the form of charts and tables. By means of comparing the results, the Steico Black insulating material seems to be safer than Steico Protect.
