Calsitherm Climate Board Wins Best Interior Product Award at Plan Expo

Calsitherm Climate Board refurbishment systems scoops yet another award for Ecological Building Systems -presenting the award is Mr Joe Burns, one of the Plan Expo judges, to Tom Barbour, Managing Director Ecological Building Systems and Tobias Wild-Blatt from the manufacturers of Calsitherm.

Ecological Building Systems are delighted to announce that Calsitherm Climate Board refurbishment systems has won the award for Best Interior Building Product at this year’s Plan Expo exhibition in the RDS, Dublin.

Tom Barbour, Managing Director with Ecological Building Systems was delighted to receive this prestigious award and stated, “This award acknowledges the requirement to address the energy inefficiency of the vast majority of existing buildings and the unique characteristics and solutions Calsitherm Climate Board offers. Refurbishing existing structures presents major challenges not only from a thermal point of view but also from a building physics perspective. Calsitherm Climate Board refurbishment systems provide the optimum solution in terms of increasing the thermal performance of existing walls while at the same time overcoming thermal bridges and the risk of condensation and mould growth.”

Existing buildings, particularly historic structures, require a holistic approach to insulating, so as to avoid possible degradation and damage caused by the use of inappropriate materials. There is little point in achieving exceptionally low U values while, at the same time, increasing the risk of condensation.

Calsitherm Climate Board is made from calcium silicate, a micro porous capillary active mineral building material with effective insulating properties. Its high capillary action ensures humidity regulation and the nature of the material ensures that mould cannot form on its surface. Simply applying 3cm of Calsitherm Climate Board on a 500mm solid stone wall can reduce heat loss by up to 50% while avoiding the risk of mould growth and condensation.

It is vital to ensure buildings breathe and to use insulating materials which are compatible with the existing structure. Calsitherm Climate Board Refurbishment Systems along with the plastering system and its innovative thermal bridging and sealing solutions ensures they can with minimal risk of condensation or mould growth.
