Kalibel Glass Wool
Kalibel is a composite product with gypsum board facing one one side and aluminium foil in between. It is used on the inner surfaces of exterior walls, adjacent walls, internal walls of the buildings, periphery walls of staircases and elevator shafts and as internal wall lining timber framed buildings for fire safe thermal and sound insulation purposes.
Application Area
- Wall surface to be insulated is cleaned and prepared for the application.
- Boards are cut according to the wall size so that there is 1 cm.
- gap off the floor and 0.5 cm off the ceiling is left.
- Special gypsum fixing mortar is put on the glass wool side of the board, so that 3-5 kg (8-9 chunks) per square meter is applied.
- Kalibel boards are placed on to the wedges of 10 mm which were put in beforehand.
- After the boards are leaned against the wall, a rubber hammer and a floating rule are used for levelling.
- The boards are supported until the adhesive sets.
- The joints are filled with a special net and paste.
- The application is completed with top coat paint.
- Since the walls with Kalibel application work with mass-spring-mass principle, they offer better sound insulation and do not impose load on the building than the one layered and heavy walls which only work with mass principle.
- Aluminium foil between glass wool board and gypsum board prevents the risk of condensation.
