Should you use sawdust as a heater ?

It's no secret that you can use sawdust as a heater.

Moreover - it's just a great alternative to insulating panels that are in the shops of building materials are not cheap.

When sawdust can be used to warm even the whole house - from the floor and finishing the walls, the ceiling.

's only sawdust can not be used in its pure form - they quickly syreyut and moisture simply rot.

So initially they need to process and protect against the negative effects of moisture.

As made opilkoblok (aka opilkobeton)?On 10 buckets of kiln dried sawdust is added to a bucket of half a bucket of sand and - cement powder.

All of this is filled ... is not, in any case, not water, and a solution of boric acid, which is produced to protect the units from rot, bacteria and frost.

If boric acid is not added, the blocks after freezing - immediately turn black, lose their heat resistance.

Warming of the floor with sawdust

To make the floor in the winter not so cold, first made himself insulation of sawdust with his hands by the method described above.Nothing complicated about it.

Next - blocks provide "stand" for a few months.

not difficult to guess that in order to insulate the floor in the winter, the units recommended in the summer, but better - even in the spring!They are "crystallized" with time, becoming monolithic cinder block.

It is also possible to make filings with the clay as a heater - it is the cheapest of the options!

's just in addition to the clay is recommended to add more than one kilogram of lime - so the design will be more dense, respectively, to increase the coefficient of thermal insulation blocks.

stirred clay with sawdust and using boric acid solution with water (about 100 milliliters per bucket of water).

Sawdust with lime as a heater will last you much longer - at least 10 years!

How to fit insulation under the floor?Just blocks as tightly as possible to each other placed underneath the board.

To moisture to accumulate on the units later, it is recommended between opilkoblokami and obtained by the floor lay several layers of roofing material.

In an extreme case - suitable and ordinary plastic film, but it does not last for long - just a few years, after which it will need to be completely replaced!

To "suffer" with blocks, insulation can be manufactured as particleboard (chipboard).

You just need to first find a suitable container under the slab.

Sawdust as the insulation of the walls is also used as a block size of 100x100 cm.

What is the optimum thickness opilkoblokov you need for efficient thermal insulation of the floor?10-20 centimeters.

course, than the layer more - the better, but also to go to far - there is no need.

10-cm layer of sawdust insulation increases the thermal insulation coefficient floor exactly as much as it makes the meter layer of bricks.But at a cost - 30 times cheaper!

significant difference!

Insulation for walls and ceiling

walls and ceiling should be warm material that is light in weight.

Fortunately, the sawdust is not heavy, but the cement, clay and lime with water - do not have a low weight!How to create a light and thermal insulation insulation?

best option - use the most is sawdust.On 10 buckets of chips it needs about 1 bucket of sand and cement buckets 0.5.All this is poured two buckets of water.

The result - obtained 0.7 kubometrovy bar heater.The optimum plate thickness - about 10.5 centimeters (to weight per square meter was less than 15 kg).

It should also be recalled that the use of sawdust as insulation and is allowed during roof insulation.That's just first need to mount a separate box under the shelter of the roof.

If a skeleton roof, the problem is, in principle, there should not be.

Just insert made from the same plywood, and which fits opilkoblok.On the part of the roof or the attic is insulated and ceiling!

In this case, you can use the blocks rather than insulation boards.

Special attention should also be given to how to make the insulation of sawdust using gelatin ...!It is also possible.Sand

not used in this case, but simply added to the cement dust, clay can be slightly.

in water of boric acid should not be added, but simply poured about 200 grams of gelatin powder.Within a few hours, the resulting mixture thickens even in a warm room!

turns soft block, which can be placed under a roof.It does not dissolve in the sun, does not shrink, rot.

And finally, should write that sawdust as insulation is no worse than the foam or mineralnovatnoy plate.

thermal insulation factor - almost the same, at the level.The cost - even if the sawdust fly, then opilkobloki turn out much cheaper!

way, the insulation of sawdust and cement would be better to isolate the heat in the event that less than the cement powder is added.

But the smaller cement powder is used - the more concrete blocks will be adversely affected by moisture.Choose individually, that you no longer need to.

And some sawdust as a heater will be of higher quality?Oddly enough, but those that are larger.And, of course, the harder the type of wood - the insulation is higher quality.

Ideal - is the use of oak chips, but they are hard to find even in the forestry, and they are not cheap.But they can be even fully insulate wooden house!

Even if winter ambient temperature falls below 30 degrees Celsius - oak opilkovy insulation will save the heat in your home!

If in a wooden house walls are sheathed inside gipsokartnom, the chips can be placed between the walls and gipsokartnom.
