Insulation wallpaper info
Skeptical?
We understand it all too well. You'd like to add extra insulation to your home and get your energy costs down.
But you're thinking, how can you do that with wallpaper?
We'd like to explain that to you. It may sound crazy but a lot of scientific research has been done on it. And insulation wallpaper does have an impact.
Wondering how? Then quickly read on below.
Warm-up phase
The insulating wallpaper significantly speeds up the heating of the room.
Scientific research has shown that the heating-up of the room can be shortened by 75% when using Erfurt KlimaTec Pro KV600 for interior and exterior walls.
The shorter warm-up phase is especially profitable for rooms that are not heated continuously. Do you also turn the heating down or off when you are not at home?
Then this may be applicable to you.
In the test project, the Erfurt insulation wallpaper enabled
reduced energy costs by 16 to 18 %.
Reflection
Erfurt's energetic insulation wallpaper has two layers. The front is a cellulose fleece over which to wallpaper. The reverse side is soft and consists of textile fleece with a low thermal conductivity. Through this layer structure, the insulation wallpaper decouples the cold outer wall from the wall surface.
Through this decoupling, the insulation wallpaper ensures that heat stays indoors and does not dissipate through the walls. At the same time, the insulating wallpaper will also reflect heat, sending it back into the room.
Insulating wallpaper reflects up to 80% of the absorbed heat.
This increases the surface temperature by up to 2°C.
Coziness
Do you ever have that too? The heating is at 22°C but still it doesn't feel cozy in the house.
This is because the wall surfaces are cold and they radiate that cold. You can feel this even without touching the walls. This is because each surface radiates a certain amount of heat.
The graph clearly shows that the pleasantness of the wind chill depends on the temperature of the wall surfaces.
If the wall surface temperature increases by 2°C, the air temperature in the room can drop by 2°C and we still feel as comfortable.
This may not seem like much but lowering the room temperature by 1°C already results in an energy savings of 6%.
