Materials for house insulation - a variety leads to confusion
Indeed, when it comes time to organize the increased ability of the house to retain internal heat, the question arises as to which isolation method to implement. The offer on the market is confusing, because the materials for warming the house vary in quality and principle of operation, and at a price.
Foam, mineral wool, sawdust are popular, as well as not used materials, for example, expanded clay. You can see on the shelves and fabric for warming the house, which, although it has the necessary qualities, but still used in conjunction with other materials. Heat insulation of houses with foam - why so many fans?
It's very simple! Penoizol - the material is quite comfortable and has good characteristics for all insulation parameters.
It has good adhesion to any surface, therefore it can be used for filling walls, ceilings and floors. Given its bulk density, the cost of acquisition will be minimal.
The most common insulation of houses with foam is made through its pumping as a foam.
With special equipment, the substance is pumped into the space between the outer and inner masonry or surfaces. There, it freezes and after a couple of days acquires the given properties. Heat insulation of houses with foam is carried out from the lower levels of , gradually filling the surface to the desired height. When isolating the walls of an already constructed house, it is possible to make drill holes at different levels to have access to the space between the walls and to pump up the foam starting from the lower holes.
Warming with mineral wool - the second place on the pedestal
Mineral wool is also a popular material, and it is quite common because of high indicators of not only thermal insulation, but also noise absorption, which is necessary in the conditions of large cities. Warming the house with mineral wool is also good because it is an excellent material for protection against moisture. All these advantages are attracted, but that they work, as required, is required to thoroughly prepare the walls of the and the complicated process of mounting the insulation. Therefore, all work is expensive.
It is not so easy to make this isolation on its own, that's why they usually take assistants, or even hire a team of specialists. Heat insulation of with mineral wool requires smooth, cleaned walls, treated with protective compounds and well dried. Installation of mineral wool blocks is usually done from the outside of the building and should be carried out at a positive temperature, but not hot, an ideal spring or autumn is ideal.
Thermal insulation of the house is still an alternative?
Slightly less troublesome, but also less versatile are other insulation materials, such as sawdust or expanded clay. Of course, we are not talking about falling asleep between the walls of sawdust - dubious insulation. To make the house warmed with sawdust, a mixture of sawdust and cement is created in a ratio of 10: 1, it is wetted by all the water to moisten the sawdust, it is not desirable to plant a lake. Place such a composition can only be in the floor or ceiling, because when laying out the you need to tamp down the well so that after drying it gets a hard layer of insulation. This should be done in the heat, so that the layer should dry properly, because the moisture and wood shavings will eventually give you an unpleasant surprise.
Expanded claydite has distinctive thermal insulation properties, even better than wood or brick. In the form of gravel, it can be delivered even to the most inaccessible places, so it is used for warming the walls. The material is affordable and profitable in value, besides it can be used as a substrate for parquet, so you will kill two birds with one stone. Thermal insulation of the house with claydite is absolutely harmless, and also durable, as it is an exceptionally natural material.
When warming the house is best to combine several insulation materials, so you will achieve the desired properties in any climatic conditions and ensure trouble-free service of the insulation system.
