Lämpinettä

Lämpinettä is a Finnish term that translates to "warm net" or "warm netting." It refers to a type of thermal insulation, typically made of a mesh or netting material, designed to retain heat. These materials are often used in construction and agriculture to improve energy efficiency and protect against cold.

In construction, lämpinettä can be incorporated into walls, roofs, or floors. The netting structure allows it to be filled with various insulating materials, such as mineral wool, fiberglass, or natural fibers. This creates a trapped air space, which is crucial for thermal resistance. The netting itself provides structural support and prevents the insulation from settling or shifting over time, thus maintaining its insulating properties.

In agricultural applications, lämpinettä is used in greenhouses or for protecting crops from frost. It can be draped over plants or used as part of the structure of a protective covering. The mesh allows for some light penetration while retaining radiated heat from the ground or the day's sunlight, creating a microclimate that is warmer than the surrounding environment. This can extend the growing season or protect sensitive plants during colder periods. The specific composition and mesh size of lämpinettä can vary depending on its intended use and the level of insulation required.
