Ontelotiileihin

Ontelotiileihin is a Finnish term that translates to "into hollow tiles" or "in hollow tiles." It refers to a specific type of building construction or a method of insulation where cavities within hollow building blocks, such as hollow concrete or ceramic tiles, are filled with an insulating material. This technique is employed to enhance the thermal performance of walls and structures, reducing heat loss in colder climates and heat gain in warmer ones.

The primary purpose of ontelotiileihin is to improve energy efficiency. By filling the air pockets within the hollow tiles, the overall thermal resistance of the wall is increased. This can lead to lower heating and cooling costs for the building. The insulating materials used can vary and may include materials like mineral wool, polystyrene foam, or even specialized pour-in insulation products designed for such applications.

This construction method is particularly relevant in regions with significant temperature variations. It offers an alternative or supplementary approach to traditional insulation methods, leveraging the inherent structure of hollow building blocks. The effectiveness of ontelotiileihin depends on the type of hollow tile used, the quality of the insulation material, and the thoroughness of the filling process to prevent thermal bridging or gaps in the insulation layer.
