Heater Penofol is used for thermal insulation of residential and commercial premises. The building material has a foil coating, optionally it can also have an adhesive layer. It allows not only to conduct the insulation of rooms, but also to achieve increased sound insulation. Does not interfere with air exchange and minimally absorbs moisture.

Penofol is divided into three types depending on its structure. The foil sides can be either one or two. Inside is a foamed polyethylene, which ensures reliable safety of the set temperature. Use insulation can be for living rooms, office rooms, as well as for country houses.
The types of foamed Penofol are as follows:
- type A - covered with foil only on one side.
- type B - two sides of the material have a foil. Due to this structure, the material has increased rigidity and strength.
- type With - on the one hand has a special adhesive layer. Quite simple to install and does not require additional costs for the purchase of adhesives.
Technical data Penofol
The thickness of Penofol can vary from 3 to 10 mm. The higher the index of thickness, the better the heat in the room is accordingly preserved. In addition, a thickened insulation allows sound insulation of the room( from 32 dB).Air exchange through the material is carried out in sufficient measure, which eliminates the moisture retention in the room. Glued in rooms with a temperature of -40 to +70 degrees.
Self-adhesive Penofol is ideal for fast and reliable insulation. Its heat reflection is approximately 97%.Material type A is less rigid, but also cheaper. Its installation takes much more time and requires additional application of glue on the non-flown side. Type B is much easier to use due to increased rigidity, but also requires pre-coating with adhesive before installation.
One of the most important characteristics of the material is high safety. The combustibility of Penofol is practically 0. The heater will not burn even with direct exposure to the fire. In addition, all components of the material are environmentally friendly, so it is possible to use it in children's rooms and in bedrooms.
Advantages of
Not only the technical characteristics of Penofol indicate a large number of its advantages, there are other advantages. Affordable cost will allow you to buy goods for insulation of large rooms. It perfectly suits both for installation in a spacious living room, and for use in a conference room.
Clear pictures of Penofol show how simple and effective its structure is at the same time. Additional soundproofing will increase the comfort of being in or living in a room. The minimum absorption of moisture indicates the possibility of installation in the kitchen.
Disadvantages of
As for the shortcomings of the material, the most important disadvantage is the difficulty of its mounting on the walls. The only exception is the self-adhesive type C. Another disadvantage is the low stiffness of the material. Penofol can not be pasted with wallpaper or covered with plaster. The weight of the finishing materials will affect the strength of the fastening and, as a result, the insulation will peel off together with the components on top of it.
In the video describing the installation of Penofol, you can see its use for warming the room. This option is acceptable for private houses, and for non-residential buildings. Good air exchange will ensure that there is no collection of fumes on the surface of the material and subsequent mold formation. But it is worth remembering that it is not necessary to use a heater in especially cold areas as the only protective material. Only the presence of external insulation will ensure a high-quality preservation of temperature.
The number of defects in the insulation is much less than its advantages. That's why most experts leave positive reviews about Penofol, and widely use it in construction and repair work. An excellent balance of quality and price allows you to purchase material rolls at an affordable price. In addition, the insulation can be reused. After a careful removal without damage to integrity, this building material can be re-glued in another room.
