METHOD OF MANUFACTURING BUILDING MATERIAL, SUCH AS AN INSULATING MATERIAL, FROM PEAT PREFERABLY TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM AN EXISTING BOG

摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a building material such an insulating material of peat preferably taken directly from a bog occurence. According to the method the peat is first converted into peat pellets/peat balls which is then dehydrated until the remaining moisture is maximum 12 %, preferably 10-12 %. Dehydrated peat pellets/peat balls are impregnated and dried, so that the building material will not later absorb moisture from the surroundings. The method is terminated by impregnated and dried peat pellets/peat balls being glued together for the formation of a building material of desired shape and thickness.
