Eco-friendly breathable mineral continuous insulation
From ancient building recipes, production of specific materials for monumental restoration and sustainable construction.Insulate according to nature
From the material compositions that have come down to us from the past, natural mineral plaster with high heat-insulating and sound-absorbing power suitable for new buildings and the energy requalification of old buildings.
SCUDOTERTIMICO®
Natural thermal insulating and sound-absorbing mineral plaster, eco-sustainable and biocompatible, with low specific weight for the thermal insulation of walls and floors, free of any form of clinker, composed of high quality NHL 5 natural hydraulic lime and a mixture of expanded minerals (expanded recycled glass) selected in a continuous grain size curve.
Modern rationalization of an ancient intuition
Already in ancient times Vitruvius mentioned such matters.
The great Architect, in his De Architectura, Lib.II, Chapter III, tells of having seen, “in later Spain”, the use of “pumiceous” stones so light that the ashlars formed with them could be supported on water.
Vitruvius
From the study of this observation, Calchèra San Giorgio has formulated an insulating plaster mortar called ” SCUDOTERMICO “.
SPECIFIC FOR:
- Creation of internal and external thermal insulating base plasters, by manual application or with a plastering machine, on stone, brick, tuff or mixed masonry.
- Energy requalification interventions of old buildings.
- Monumental recovery and restoration interventions in total compatibility with the original materials used in the past.
- Particularly suitable for green building to ensure hygroscopicity and healthiness of environments.
TECHNICAL FEATURES:
- Thermal conductivity: λ = 0.068 W/mK (T1);
- Resistance to vapor diffusion: μ< 5;
- Fire resistance: class A1;
- Complies with the UNI EN 998-1: T-CSI-W1 standard.
ADVANTAGES:
- High breathability thus avoiding condensation phenomena.
- Completely mineral and ecological.
- Barrier to winter cold and summer heat.
- Keeps walls dry.
- Corrects thermal bridges.
- Regulation of the thermo-hygrometric conditions of the environments.
- Highly fire resistant.
- Natural defense against the formation of mold and bacteria.
- Internal and external application.
- Perfectly compatible with the historical structures of all times.
- Produced with respect for the environment and for living well-being.
APPLICATION CYCLE: INSULATION WITH HEAT SHIELD.
- Rendering the masonry with Rudus Rinzaffo® (manually or with a plastering machine).
- Plastering in layers (manual or with plastering machine) with Scudotermico® in the thickness required by the project.
- Reinforced smoothing (alkali-resistant mesh) of the surface with Rasante ‘900® .
- Calchèra San Giorgio breathable finish ( Lime painting® , Tonachino® , Washed plaster® , Vetus marmorino® ).
