Stone Walls Insulation Rating?
What is the insulation factor of stone walls versus modern building techniques? Can’t seem to find the answer…. Some of the forums talk about insulating the stone walls in addition to the stone for a number of reasons. Very impressed with the coolness of the buildings with big walls in Dubrovnik.
This is a possible useful post on a forum, or my favorite, this faq on castles.
Are castles cold and damp?
Ours are toasty warm and dry in the snowy winters and cool in the summer’s heat. Since medieval standards of hygiene, lighting, and heating were far below those of even ancient Rome, we have incorporated modern science and technology into what appears to be a medieval castle inside and out. Our unique use of a hidden insulation core between the double layers of interior and exterior wall stones in our castle walls is what makes our new castles are warm and dry inside The use of radiant hot water floor heat evenly and quietly distributes hidden heat throughout every room. Modern plumbing pipes and electrical conduits are hidden inside of the castle walls. The result is a medieval castle with modern day conveniences and hygiene standards.
Kinda curious, I wonder how concrete applies too.
