Foil insulating characteristics , advantages and features of the application material

One of the stages of any construction or repair activities are surface finishes (and the time they occupy quite a lot).Moreover, it is of two types - wall and protective.That's the last we'll talk.

What is the purpose in conducting such operations?To ensure, above all, reliable hydro, heat, steam and sound insulation foundations (structural parts of the building).For this, generally used materials of different types, each of which performs a specific function.

before you understand its benefits and consider the basic characteristics, it is worth remembering, and that in general this is a material?Then they will be more clearly understood all its peculiarities and specific applications.It is clear from the title that this is a standard izolon, one side of which (or both) is also a subtle metallic finish in the form of foil.

Base - foamed polyethylene or polypropylene.Therefore distinguish between two types of products, which are abbreviated «IPP» or «PFD» .But the main characteristics of varieties of the same material are similar, so we consider them in the overall context, without the distraction of the small details that are of interest only specialized professionals.

Features folgoizolona

Easy material

This makes it possible to finish them without any foundation of measures for its strengthening (strengthening).

small thickness

Some "isolators", in spite of their high quality, not recommended for use in interior decoration.And the reason is quite weighty - their installation significantly reduces the size of the premises, that is, the useful area of ​​the "concealed".For example, for laying mineral wool will need to strengthen the support frame.Already minus a few centimeters, and a 4-room parties.Optional - facing, as this insulation "naked" does not leave.It has several "mm" (or even "see"), multiplied again by 4. In addition, layers of steam and water proofing.

elasticity

This feature allows you to not spend a lot of time to carefully align the surface as required by the technology works with some heaters (for example, polystyrene plates).

versatility

This has already been mentioned.The combination of "three-in-one" significantly reduces the cost not only for the purchased materials (films, mastics, fastener elements, etc.), but also reduces the time of repair or construction.

lack of water absorption

This is one of the factors that extends the service life not only folgoizolona, ​​but also "covered with" their design elements.

Easy cutting

material is easily cut with a sharp knife, so the use of special / specific tools or devices in the process of working with them is not expected.

Environmental safety

Even if temperature exceeds 100 ° C in not going releasing hazardous emissions.In addition, folgoizolone will never wind up (and multiply) insects or rodents.This material is for them nevkusen and uninteresting in terms of arrangement of holes or slots, given the meager thickness of the layer.

Cost

Partially already indicated, but there is another aspect - there is practically no waste.The fact that even the smallest pieces of material can always be used.For example, as spacers between any of the layers for sealing individual holes, cracks, voids to fill.Options are more than enough.

Scope

Folgoizolon used virtually everywhere - in construction, medicine, automotive, agriculture, trade.Professionals aware of this, but the general reader more interested in the area of ​​domestic use.Here are some options.

specifics of the installation of many materials, if the surface is subsequently subjected to dynamic loads, involves equipping the cushion (compensating) layer, which has another name - the substrate.For example, before the installation of certain varieties of linoleum, laminate it is necessary to do (read about it here).Folgoizolon not only to "soften" the load, but also further insulate the foundation, will dampen the noise.

Isolation surfaces or selected portions thereof, devices and assemblies.Given the flexibility and ease of processing, the material is excellent for sealing of various joints, seams, seats communications pass through walls or ceilings.

With folgoizolona can insulate buildings and separate premises, and at minimal cost.According to some estimates, 1 cm of the material has the same effect of thermal insulation is 5 cm layer of wood or brick walls 15 cm wide

Warming tracks, laid on the site.;increasing the efficiency of heat transfer heaters if the sheets laid behind them (for example, between the battery and the wall surface of the metallic inside).

Insulation of buildings and premises other than a constant (or periodic) the presence of excessive moisture.For example, baths, bathrooms, laundry rooms, swimming pools.It is the ability of some materials at least partially absorb the liquid severely limits the possibility of their choice in the apparent diversity of the range of the respective products.

cost

Folgoizolon sold sheets, coils, mats.The price for an individual sample is determined, above all, its size and thickness.The average cost of 1 m starting from 39 rubles.Significantly lower than other insulating materials.
