SkamoWall Calcium Silicate Boards absorb moisture present in buildings by actively diffusing it through the material where it is safely and harmlessly locked away. When the relative humidity in the internal space lowers the drying surface attracts stored water from within the board to the surface which is then evaporated safely away in a controlled manner into the internal space leaving the surface dry once again.
What is calcium silicate ?
The main constituents of calcium silicate are quicklime and microsilica, which is originally a by-product of silicon production.
The SkamoWall Basic Board improves the indoor climate, because the boards absorb moisture and keep it contained. When the room is vented, the moisture is released back into the room as vapour. They act as a dehumidifier helping to maintain a constant humidity level within the building. By using SkamoWall Boards the dampness in walls is absorbed and held harmlessly by the board to be later released by evaporation which prevents persistent damp problems and mould as a consequence.
SkamoWall Boards can be applied to a wide range of solid mineral surfaces including brick, concrete and blockwork, the boards are not suitable for application to wooden surfaces or stud work. SkamoWall Boards also have the capacity to rapidly absorb moisture, a key function that helps moderate the effects that cold damp walls can have on the internal environment, improving occupant comfort, reducing heating costs and mitigating potential mould growth and structural issues.
SkamoWall Boards are a proven solution in a wide range of applications where damp can occur and where improved insulation will provide a more comfortable and healthy living space and reduced heating costs.
Fire Classification: Class A1 (EN 13501-1:2007 + A1:2009)
Mounting SkamoWall Calcium Silicate Boards can be explained briefly in six points that make it easy for both DIY projects and professional craftsmen.
1. Prepare the wall
Remove loose plaster, tar, paint residue and organic materials. In case of mould growth, clean the wall with a biocide product. Use the Skamol Lime Mortar adhesive so that unevenness does not exceed 10mm.
2 Prepare materials
Use common tools to resize and prepare SkamoWall Board for installations (e.g. electrical and plumbing). Apply Skamol Primer to the inward facing side of the board.
3 Mount the board
Apply Skamol Lime Mortar to the SkamoWall Board and wall. Mount the boards on the wall and push the boards up against each other.
4 Apply the plaster
Apply Skamol Primer to the outward-facing side of the board to be plastered. Choose between Skamol Lime Mortar and Skamol Smooth Plaster. Use the selected plaster to fill the joints.
5 Mount the optional protection products
If necessary, you can mount Skamol Corner and Skamol Mesh for extra wall protection.
6 Finish the wall
The wall can be painted, if desired using Beeck Mineral Paints.
SkamoWall Board is made of the lightweight material calcium silicate, which is produced by the Danish company Skamol Group.
Skamol has more than 35 years of experience with production of calcium silicate, and today exports to large parts of the world including Ireland.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is SkamoWall fire rated?
SkamoWall’s fire resistance is classed as the highest requirement level A1 according to the European fire classification system EN 13 501.
This means that SkamoWall Board is classified as a non-flammable material.
Who can mount SkamoWall?
SkamoWall can be mounted by both private individuals and craftsmen.
Do you have an EPD for SkamoWall?
All SkamoWall calcium silicate products:
Have an EPD (Environment Product Declaration), which has been verified by a third party and published through EPD Denmark.
What are the benefits of using SkamoWall?
SkamoWall ensures an improved indoor climate:
The calcium silicate SkamoWall Board and all associated products are diffusion-open, which means that they can absorb and release moisture.
When the SkamoWall Board comes into contact with moisture, it will absorb it and the moisture will move towards the dry side of the SkamoWall Board. The moisture will then be stored in the panel until the environment allows the panel to release the moisture. A typical example of this is a damp outer wall, where SkamoWall is mounted on the inside. SkamoWall will absorb the moisture, and when airing or ventilating, SkamoWall will release the moisture into the air.
In this way, the calcium silicate board maintains a healthy indoor environment by absorbing moisture in the building’s structure, thereby ensuring that moisture does not provide optimal conditions for mold growth and potential health risks.
In addition to regulating moisture problems, the calcium silicate SkamoWall Board also has a number of properties that prevent the growth of mold:
