Dämmstoffart

Dämmstoffart refers to the specific type of material used for thermal insulation. Different Dämmstoffarten offer varying properties regarding thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, fire behavior, and environmental impact. Common categories include mineral wools, such as glass wool and stone wool, which are known for their good fire resistance and sound insulation properties. Organic Dämmstoffarten encompass materials like polystyrene foam (EPS and XPS) and polyurethane foam, which are lightweight and offer good insulation values but can have different fire performance characteristics. Natural Dämmstoffarten, such as wood fiber, cork, cellulose, and sheep's wool, are increasingly popular due to their sustainability and often good moisture regulating capabilities. The choice of Dämmstoffart depends on the specific application, building regulations, and desired performance criteria. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages that must be considered during the planning and construction phases to achieve optimal thermal performance and indoor climate.
