Historic and heritage buildings require a far more holistic approach to insulating to avoid degradation and damage, necessitating a need to balance energy efficiency with breathability and damp protection whilst most importantly maintaining the characteristics of the building and preserving the facade.
Calsitherm Climate Board is the perfect internal insulation solution for older buildings. Made from calcium silicate, a micro porous mineral building material with good insulating properties: its high capillary action ensures humidity regulation and the nature of the material means that mould cannot form on its surface.
Calsitherm Climate Board is a straight forward solution to internal insulation and building restoration. It is installed using special adhesive mortar and can be faced with a lime based plaster for an aesthetic and breathable surface finish. All the system components are available from Ecological Building Systems. Calsitherm Climate Board is non-flammable and is classed as A1.
