The Benefits of Cork External Wall Insulation

When it comes to enhancing your home's energy efficiency and comfort, cork external wall insulation stands out as a sustainable and effective solution. Cork, a natural material harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, offers numerous benefits for external wall insulation that make it a popular choice among eco-conscious homeowners.

1. Superior Thermal Insulation

Cork is an excellent insulator due to its unique cellular structure, which contains countless air pockets. These air pockets help to reduce heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This can lead to significant energy savings as your heating and cooling systems won’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature.

2. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Cork is a renewable resource. The harvesting process doesn’t harm the cork oak trees, which continue to grow and regenerate their bark. This makes cork insulation an environmentally friendly choice. Additionally, cork production supports biodiversity and helps combat desertification in regions where cork oaks are grown.

3. Acoustic Insulation

In addition to thermal insulation, cork also provides excellent acoustic insulation. Its dense structure absorbs sound waves, reducing noise from outside and creating a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment. This is particularly beneficial in urban areas or homes situated near busy roads.

4. Durability and Resilience

Cork is highly durable and resistant to moisture, mold, and pests. Its natural properties make it less susceptible to decay, ensuring a long-lasting insulation solution. This resilience reduces the need for frequent replacements or repairs, providing a cost-effective option in the long run.

5. Aesthetic Appeal

Cork insulation panels are available in various textures and finishes, allowing them to be used as an attractive cladding material. This means you can improve your home’s energy efficiency without compromising on visual appeal. Cork can complement a range of architectural styles, adding a unique and natural look to your exterior walls.

6. Breathability

Cork allows your walls to breathe, preventing the buildup of moisture and reducing the risk of dampness and mold growth. This breathability is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preserving the integrity of your home’s structure.

Conclusion

Investing in cork external wall insulation is a smart choice for homeowners looking to enhance their property’s energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetic appeal while also making an environmentally friendly decision.

News is running a bit on how to make your house warmer in winter here, and starts with a bloke inspecting a house and it literally goes, "this house has no insulin in the walls, floor, and the ceiling insulation is full of gaps. The windows are single glazed and have poor coverings. There are nearly inch wide gaps at the base of every door including the external ones. Is very breezy inside."

Like. I know that's normal here, I live here, but sweet jesus.

News ended up advising that people put blinds in and get solar power. How tf are poor people gonna do that? Renters? Stupid advice. It's getting below zero at night rn and barely scratching 10°C in the day, which means it's the same damn temp indoors

I've improved my home by putting furniture against external walls as insulation. I've got fleece safety pinned to the inside of my curtains ($10 for a half sheet of fleece at spotlight rn!). I've taped the balcony door shut. I've committed to only heating two rooms and I've door snaked the doors to the rest of the house to save money. Do this even if you dont have a heater, your body heat is doing something. I chose bedroom and living room, some people might include kitchen to use heat from the oven but my house doesn't lay out for that to work.

Also, wear lots of clothes and blankets. It's 1pm, I have three shirts, a jumper, and three blankets on rn. Drink tea to keep hands warm. Try cleaning something with hot water instead of turning the heater on in the day, helps get your fingers warm and is slightly active. It's okay to sleep in gloves and a beenie. A hot shower to get your temp back up is good if you prep clothes and don't wet your hair.

If the world were better these houses would have been built well, but that's not where we are. There are tricks to use, use them

There is nothing that amuses me more than a secret inside of a secret.

Here’s an article that I wrote that my friend Dario Leone owner of Aviation Geek Club shared about the YF 12 and the secret SR 71 tail number 951.

Most people when they think of the YF 12 think of it as an experimental airplane that never really flew, but that is wrong. It did fly for many years. The last flight was in 1979 when it was flown to the Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio you can find it next to the XB-70.

The so-called YF-12C was really the SR-71A 61-7951, modified with a bogus tail number 06937 belonging to an A-12.

Taken in 1975, the interesting photos in this post show NASA Blackbirds carrying the ” Cold wall” heat transfer pod on a pylon beneath the forward fuselage.

The Blackbirds portrayed in these photos are usually referred to as YF-12s, but actually one of them was an SR-71 as Linda Sheffield Miller (Col Richard (Butch) Sheffield’s daughter, Col. Sheffield was an SR-71 Reconnaissance Systems Officer), who runs Born into the Wild Blue Yonder Habubrats Facebook page, told to The Aviation Geek Club: ‘In case anybody asked the pictures with the two NASA Blackbirds the one on the top is a YF-12 but the one on the bottom is an SR-71!

‘Another interesting thing about those pictures is that NASA was not allowed to have an SR-71 but they did and they passed it off as a YF-12!

In fact, the “YF-12C” was a then-secret SR-71A (serial no. 64-17951, the second production SR-71A) given the NASA tail no. 60-6937. The reason for this bit of subterfuge lay in the fact that NASA while flying the YF-12A interceptor version of the aircraft, was not allowed to possess the strategic reconnaissance version for some time. The bogus tail number actually belonged to a Lockheed A-12 (serial no. 60-6937), but the existence of the A-12 remained classified until 1982. The tail number 06937 was selected because it followed the sequence of tail numbers assigned to the three existing YF-12A aircraft: 06934, 06935, and 06936. Isn’t that amazing?’

The Coldwell project, supported by Langley Research Center, consisted of a stainless steel tube equipped with thermocouples and pressure sensors. A special insulating coating covered the tube, which was chilled with liquid nitrogen.

Given that the US Air Force (USAF) needed technical assistance to get the latest reconnaissance version of the A-12 family, the SR-71A, fully operational, the service offered NASA the use of two YF-12A aircraft, 60-6935 and 60-6936.

Eventually, with 146 flights between Dec. 11, 1969, and Nov. 7, 1979, 935 became the workhorse of the program while the second YF-12A, 936, made 62 flights. Given that this aircraft was lost in a non-fatal crash on Jun. 24, 1971, it was replaced by the so-called YF-12C SR-71A 61-7951, modified with YF-12A inlets and engines and a bogus tail number 06937.

The SR-71 differed from the YF-12A in that the YF-12A had a round nose while the SR-71 had its chine carried forward to the nose of the airplane. The SR-71 was longer, nearly 8 feet longer as it had an extra fuel tank that the YF 12 didn’t have. There were other differences in internal and external configuration, but the two aircraft shared common inlet designs, structural concepts, and subsystems. Also of note the SR 71C is really a combination of a static display of the SR 71 for the front half and the back half is the crashed YF-12!

In my study of all the Blackbirds, I have found other secrets inside of secrets. Such as the test SR-71 plane the 955. Everyone was told often that this airplane never left the United States, but that is not true.

When it comes to reconnaissance airplanes and War, even if it was a Cold War, Rearranging the facts is fair.

There will always be mystery in the SR 71 program.

Don’t believe that all of the secrets have been told.

I know that is not true.

💀🪦Methods of Death & How They Feel

01. 🌊Drowning.

When victims eventually submerged, they hold their breath for as long as possible, typically 30 to 90 seconds. After that, they inhale some water, splutter, cough and inhale more. Survivors say there is a feeling of tearing and a burning sensation in the chest as water goes down into the airway. Then that sort of slips into a feelings of calmness and tranquility. That calmness represents the beginnings of the loss of consciousness from oxygen deprivation, which eventually results in the heart stopping and brain death.

02. 🫀Heart Attack:

The most common symptom is chest pain. A tightness, pressure or squeezing, often described as an “elephant on my chest”, which may be lasting or come and go. This is the heart muscle struggling and dying from oxygen deprivation. Pain can radiate to the jaw, throat, back, belly and arms. Other signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea and cold sweats. 

03. 🩸Bleeding to Death:

Anyone losing 1.5 liters - either through an external wound or internal bleeding - feels weak, thirsty and anxious and would be breathing fast. By 2 liters, people experience dizziness, confusion and then eventual unconsciousness

04. 🔥Fire:

Burns inflict immediate and intense pain through stimulation of the pain nerves in the skin. To make matters worse, burns also trigger a rapid inflammatory response, which boosts sensitivity to pain in the injured tissues and surrounding areas. As burn intensities progress, some feeling is lost but not much. 3rd degree burns don’t hurt as much as 2nd degree burns. 

05. 🔪Decapitation:

Very quick death

Consciousness may continue for a few seconds after execution

Separation of the spinal cord and brain cause severe pain

06. ⚡Electrocution

Higher currents can produce nearly immediate unconsciousness The electric chair was designed to produce instant loss of consciousness and painless death, but that’s debatable. It’s been proposed that prisoners could instead be dying from heating of the brain, or perhaps from suffocation due to paralysis of the breathing muscles instead of electrocution itself because the skulls of the wall are a thick and powerful insulator.

07. ⛰ Falling from a Height

Another instantaneous death (given that the height is enough, of course!)

Feeling like time has slowed down

Struggling to maintain a feet-first landing, leading to leg bone fractures, lower spinal column and broken pelvises

The impact travelling through the body can burst the aorta and heart chambers.
