Abstract:
This scientific text justifies the use of vermiculite-based dry building mixtures as
an effective building material. Vermiculite is a type of rock with a unique structure that
expands when heated, forming porous worm-like columns or thin filaments. Expanded
vermiculite has a high porosity, low density, and is an excellent heat insulator, fire barrier,
and sound absorber. Additionally, it is durable, chemically stable, and biologically resistant.
The use of vermiculite-based thermal insulation plasters reduces construction costs, improves
thermal and sound insulation, and allows for natural self-regulation of temperature and
humidity. This technology is promising for energy-efficient residential houses and buildings,
particularly in areas with significant temperature differentials between seasons.
