[Ekodum] Re: Izolace

Yes; Outside Czech it's well known that microscopic fibres of rocks/glass are not healthy in your house or lungs; that mineral wool is one of the preferred materials for growing plants as fungi thrive in it, and that it has a quite low fire resistance.

Unfortunately, in Czech Republic, the corporate sponsorship initiated soon after 1989 of institutions such as CVUT and VUT, as well as conferences such as Sustainable Building in Central Europe and Zdrave Domy, has served very well to intellectually bribe both previous and present generation of Czech Architects/engineers. 

You are quite right about choosing cellulose; A fine harmless product, be it for energy consumption during production, during the life time of it's use as insulation and afterwards; can even compost.
It's praised by the Danish Union of insulators; same union which proved that Rockwool is carcinogenic; unfortunately proven through death and disease of many Danish insulators...

Zdravím,
 
 někde v této diskuzi byla zmínka o škodlivosti izolace z minerální vlny. Měl jsem za to, že je to materiál získaný z přírodního materiálu, ikdyž energeticky náročny na výrobu. Má někdo zkušenosti s foukanou celulózou? (na netu jsem našel Climatizer plus) foukaný do dutin i na stěny vlhkým způsobem.
