Insulation is domestic production (RB) and foreign. For all sized types of insulation there are quality certificates. With large volumes of discounts! The price of insulation depends on its purpose, country of production, technological characteristics.
Insulation – material used in construction and industry to reduce thermal conductivity in various structures. It is used to maintain a stable temperature in the premises, without additional energy consumption.
In building structures, heat losses occur through the walls and roof. You can increase the heat resistance due to the use of insulation, this largely allows you to reduce the thickness of the walls during construction and save on expensive building materials. Due to the insulation, without much difficulty, you can convert non -residential or office premises into a dwelling, and a suburban cottage in a real house.
As insulation are:
Mineral wool (made from glass melt)
Stone cotton wool or basalt wool (from rock melt)
Foam (produced by foaming plastic)
Foam (manufactured by extrudation of polystyrene foam)
The scope of insulation
In modern construction, insulation is widely in demand. Their area of application is much wider than just thermal insulation. The functions of this material include the following:
– thermal insulation of any type of buildings and premises, from low -rise to capital;
– sound insulation of residential and non -residential objects;
– Creation of wall and sandwich panels using insulation.
The scope of this type of material directly depends on which type of insulation has to work. Often, when erecting a low-rise building, specialists use 3-5 types of heat-insulating materials that perform the functions of both insulation and noise-insulating barriers, which, in turn, can also be part of the wall structure (in frame and metal houses).
Types of insulation
Heater is divided into several types and differ:
In the form of release (roll, slab, mats);
In terms of density (light, medium, heavy);
By purpose (roofing, wall, for the floor);
For use (specialized, universal).
In order not to be mistaken when choosing insulation, some rules should be remembered, regardless of which production the material is purchased.
Heavy heater (high density), usually produced in the form of mats and plates, are suitable for installation on vertical surfaces, for insulation of walls inside and on the facade side. The very shape and high density of plates and mats makes it possible to lay them on inclined surfaces (when arranging a roof).
Roll insulation belong to light. They are not always suitable for wall insulation, but ideal for conducting thermal insulation work on horizontal surfaces, roofing or flooring.
Insulation with medium density belong to universal. Usually they are used to install the ventilated facade and roof, the creation of noise insulation indoors (the insulation is mounted on top of the wall or inside).
Descers characteristics
In the climatic conditions of our country, a significant part of the money spent during the operation of buildings goes to pay for heating. High thermal insulation characteristics of insulation allow saving money. This material combines thermal insulation and noise -absorbing properties, has resistance to fungi and bacteria. In addition, high -quality insulation has such characteristics as:
– low thermal conductivity during operation;
– minimum water absorption;
– stability of the structure of the material at a temperature difference;
– mechanical strength;
– soundproofing;
-light weight;
– ease of installation, the ability to use at any time of the year;
– durability;
– Health safety
– resistance to microorganisms;
– fire resistance.
Advantages of using insulation
Heater is a rather popular building material, this is explained by its low thermal conductivity, non -combustibility, high sound insulation, minimal hygroscopicity, resistance to temperature extremes, as well as chemical and biological influences, environmental friendliness and health safety. In addition, the insulation is mounted quickly and easily, it does not burn in fire, but, on the contrary, prevents its spread of fire. The cost of this building material is insignificant in comparison with the concrete slabs used for the construction, brick, wood and other. The use of insulation instead of traditional materials allows you to facilitate the design of buildings, to save significantly in construction and further operation.
