Exterior wall
For new housing production
The outer wall of single-family houses and villas serves as the primary barrier to external elements and provides both structural stability and thermal insulation. By using bio-based materials in the exterior wall construction, one can benefit from several advantages. These materials, such as hemp fiber insulation, offer high energy efficiency, reduced climate impact through carbon sequestration, as well as create an indoor environment with good air quality and regulated humidity. In addition, bio-based materials are renewable and can help reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.
Hemp Insulation
Hemp fiber insulation offers excellent thermal insulation, helping to reduce energy losses and create energy-efficient buildings.
Environmentally friendly
With its renewable and biodegradable nature, hemp fiber insulation reduces the environmental impact and contributes to sustainable construction projects.
Moisture buffering
Hemp fiber insulation can regulate moisture levels in building materials, reducing the risk of moisture damage and mold formation.
Sound class B
Hemp fiber insulation has an effective ability to absorb sound, reducing sound transmission between different rooms and creating a calmer and more comfortable indoor environment.

For the renovation of older structures
Improved thermal performance: By adding insulation to the inside of the wall, heat losses are reduced and the building becomes more energy efficient. This can lead to lower energy costs and increased comfort indoors.
Climate impact: By supplementing insulation with Ekolution hemp fiber insulation, a double climate gain is achieved, the first climate gain is made in the carbon dioxide savings in the material and the second saving is by reducing energy consumption.
Moisture control: Internal additional insulation requires careful handling of moisture. Ekolution's hemp fiber insulation, which is diffusion open, allows natural moisture migration. This helps reduce the risk of moisture accumulation and problems such as salt and frost cracking in the brick wall.
Hidden installations: Electrical installations, such as power lines and cables, can be easily installed behind the insulating layer, providing a clean and tidy interior without visible cables and pipes.
Exterior preservation: Internal additional insulation does not affect the exterior appearance of the building and preserves its original architectural features.
ADAPTABLE
Hemp fiber insulation is easy to install and can be adapted to different types of exterior walls and structures during single-family home renovation projects.
MOISTURE
Hemp fiber insulation has moisture-regulating properties which are well combined with older buildings and construction technologies.
ENERGY
Additional insulation with Ekolution insulation provides high thermal performance, which improves the energy efficiency of single-family houses by reducing energy losses.
ENVIRONMENT
By using hemp fiber insulation, the renovation project reduces the environmental impact due to the fact that industrial hemp is renewable and binds carbon dioxide.

YV01-R: ADDITIONAL INSULATION MASONRY BRICK BUILDING (-1950)
Description
This type of construction involves a homogeneous brick wall usually consisting of 1, 1 1/2 or 2 layers of brick in width. To improve thermal performance and reduce energy losses in the building, internal additional insulation is carried out.
This means that insulation material is added to the inside of the brick wall. The insulation is complemented by an airtight membrane open to moisture migration via diffusion, a steam brake.
To consider: Internal additional insulation also causes the temperature of the masonry structure to drop and increases the risk of increased moisture content, salt and frost cracking.
Additional insulation inside is therefore carefully carried out with a bio-based insulation that allows natural moisture migration (diffusion open).
To ensure that internal additional insulation is carried out correctly and that bio-based insulation is used correctly, it is important to involve experts with experience in similar projects.

YV03-R: ADDITIONAL INSULATION OF OLD LOG HOUSES (-1950)
Description
The construction is carried out using logs or logs, which are joined together both horizontally and sometimes vertically, creating a strong and stable wall structure. These logs, usually of high-quality timber, can be round or square depending on the aesthetic desired. The joints between the logs are usually carefully sealed with materials such as clay, moss or straw to prevent air leakage and moisture ingress.
Timber construction has several advantages. Its weight provides good heat-buffering ability and excellent hygroscopic properties, which means that the timber is able to regulate heat and moisture, resulting in a comfortable and even indoor climate. Condensation damage from moisture precipitation is very uncommon in log houses. When additional insulation is needed, Ekolution hemp fiber insulation can be an advantageous solution due to its high heat storage effect and similar hygroscopic properties.
To consider: Internal additional insulation also causes the temperature of the timber structure to drop and increases the risk of moisture related damage.
Additional insulation inside is therefore carried out carefully with a bio-based insulationthat allows natural moisture migration (diffusion open).

YV04-R: ADDITIONAL INSULATION WOODEN FRAME (1950-1970)
Description
During the 1950s-1970s, a plain wall construction with wooden joists and insulation was used. The outer side was often covered by wood paneling or other materials that gave the building its appearance. Behind the outer panel was an air gap that improved the wall's air circulation and moisture management.
Insulation was installed between the wooden joists which were usually in the dimension 2x4 inches (about 50x100 mm) or 2x6 inches (about 50x150 mm) and created the structure for the wall. Mineral wool was a common type of insulation during that time. Vapor barrier was used on the inside of the joists to prevent moisture ingress. The inner wall could be varied depending on the desired decor and use.
Additional insulation is often necessary for this type of house in order to reduce energy consumption. Since the existing insulation is often limited to 100+45 mm, it is easiest to carry out additional insulation inside.
To consider: Choose a modern bio-based insulation, such as hemp fiber insulation, which is energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Install a steam brake on the inside of the wooden joists to regulate moisture and prevent condensation.
Ensure that the wall is carefully airtight to reduce heat loss and avoid cold drafts. Make sure there is adequate ventilation to allow moisture exchange.
Evaluate the energy efficiency of the entire house and consider upgrades to reduce energy consumption.

YV05-R: ADDITIONAL INSULATION SHELL WALL (1950-1970)
Description
This wall is similar to YV04-R with the difference in facade, a shell wall. A further development from the previously popular homogeneous solid masonry construction (YV01R and YV02-R). In 1950-1970, the aim was to increase the thermal performance, which reduced the amount of bricks to a single row, a shell wall, and the brick was then only an external weather protection, a facade.
Behind that shell wall was an air gap that improved the wall's air circulation and moisture management.

- Ensure a thorough air seal of the wall to minimize heat loss and avoid cold races.

YV06-R: ADDITIONAL INSULATION SHELL WALL (1970-1990)
Description
YV06-R is almost identical to YV05-R, except for the amount of insulation. During this time period, the focus was on further reducing energy losses, driven by the increased cost of heating that arose after the oil crisis of the 1970s. The thickness of the regular frame was usually 145-170 mm with an additional insulation layer of 45 mm. This is similar to today's construction technologies, which often use multilayer structures with insulation thicknesses ranging from 145+45 to 220+70 mm. This development aims to improve energy efficiency and minimize heat loss in buildings.
