How do WWCB wall panels contribute to energy efficiency?
How do WWCB wall panels contribute to energy efficiency?
The thermal insulation properties of WWCB panels help to maintain stable indoor temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs. This contributes to overall energy savings and a more sustainable building.
Our frequently asked questions
Questions without category
Where can I visit a project made with large wood wool panels?
Visiting a project is a sensitive matter. Please contact us directly, and we will assess the possibility of arranging a visit.
What are the insulation properties of WWCB wall panels?
These panels provide both thermal and acoustic insulation. The open-pore structure of wood wool combined with the density of cement enhances energy efficiency and reduces noise transmission.
Can WWCB wall panels be used in all climates?
Yes, WWCB wall panels are resistant to moisture, mold, and extreme temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for various climatic conditions, from humid to dry regions.
How long do WWCB wall panels last?
With proper installation and maintenance, WWCB wall panels have an exceptionally long lifespan. They are highly durable, resistant to decay, and maintain their structural integrity over time.
Are WWCB wall panels easy to maintain?
Yes, WWCB wall elements require minimal maintenance. Their durability and resistance to mold, moisture, and pests ensure that they remain in excellent condition for years with little upkeep.
Are your plants geared for circular manufacturing?
Our large element line runs a zero-waste production process, with all trimming waste reintegrated into new products. For our standard lines, we are actively working on recycling all trimming waste back into production. However, we do not process construction waste from demolition sites.
What are the raw material needed to produce boards or wall elements?
For all products coming from the production lines the ingredients are the same: softwood (typically pine or spruce), cement and water. Additives like limestone can be added to the mix to reduce the cement content and tweak the product for certain use cases. Rough proportions of the raw materials are as follows:
Wood wool: 31%
Cement: 45%
Water: 22%
Waterglass: 2%
Can wall elements and acoustic panels be made on the same production line?
No. Only the very first section of the production line (block handling, production of wood wool and mixing with water and cement) is the same. After the dosing and mixing process, the production lines for acoustic panels and large elements follow the same principle but are created on different machines.
Do you also provide technical assistance in the ramp up phase?
Yes. Several Eltomation personnel will remain on site for 6 weeks after first commissioning to make sure the plant runs smoothly, and local operators / supervisors are properly trained.
Does Eltomation also provide support during construction and land preparation for a new facility?
We have extensive knowledge we can share when it comes to raw materials needed, log yard capacity, dust extaction capacity, etc. we share in detail in the pre-engineering stage once we seriously proceed with a project.
