Specifications foil penofol , features and styling costs

Any construction (repair) involves finish almost all surfaces (external and internal walls, floors and ceilings).Typically, settling the team "structure" of the layers of hydro, steam and sound insulation, and insulation.Given the specifics of our climate, the latter is given special attention.If a "couple" and "sound", many developers (owners of property) is not particularly worried about the heat in your home everyone thinks.

there is a significant range of products on the market, which to some extent reduces the heat loss.Naturally, in any material - its characteristics, which determine its application.More recently, there was one more "product" - penofol foil.Try to understand what are its characteristics, and whether it makes sense to give it the preference to this material.

Foil penofol - is nothing but as polyethylene foam, which is coated with a thin aluminum layer (the thinnest foil).It can cover the base or on one side or on both.Most buyers are interested in what is good product, and the specific technical details delve except specialists.Especially that dimension, standing after the numbers are often understandable only to professionals.The average person is unlikely to be interested in, for example, the modulus of elasticity.Therefore, we consider the properties of the product to determine the feasibility of its use, ease of installation and the final cost of the work.

Features foil penofol

Versatility

Besides insulation, vapor barrier material provides a high quality, so when you use it there is no need in the arrangement of the individual layer.It also dampens the noise is well, therefore, performs the function of sound insulation.The structure also prevents the penetration of moisture.It turns out that with the installation penofol foiling folding makes it unnecessary to 3 other materials (films, membranes and the like).

penofol Versatility is manifested in the fact that these products can be installed almost everywhere - inside and out, at any humidity.For example, mineral wool in the "wet" premises used makes no sense, as it absorbs fluid.A penofol equally well suited for walls, floors, roofs, basements, loggias, septic tanks, and so on.

small thickness

It is much smaller than that of counterparts.By the way, this factor is sometimes complicated interior furnishing insulation material, since the corresponding design "conceals" sometimes a considerable part of the area that feels good in rooms with modest dimensions.Therefore it is necessary to abandon the relatively cheap mineral wool in favor of other, more expensive and difficult to install products.The thickness of the penofol - ranging from 3 to 10 mm.

Variety by

This involves certain convenience in installation.It is necessary to decorate different surfaces with different technique of fastening material.Penofol is available in 3 versions:

• «A» - foil on one side;
• «B» - foiling two-way;
• «C» - combined.On the one hand - the aluminum coating on the other - a self-adhesive layer.

There are products with punching, reinforcement, and a number of other features.

Resilience

structure eliminates the penetration of moisture through the material.It can be used in a temperature range from -60 to 110 0C.

High quality insulation

manufacturing technology ensures that heat loss does not exceed 3 - 4%.This figure is higher than that of conventional insulation (penoplex, mineral wool, expanded clay).The presence of foil material allows not only to stop the penetration of heat into the structure, but also "reflect" it back into the room.

ability to maintain steady microclimate

In principle, in its action penofol creates a thermos effect.Therefore, do not have to hard "drive" the boiler in winter and summer - air conditioning.

Easy laying

Penofol elastic, so they can not only insulate the plane, but also the corners, pipes and other elements with a complex configuration.

light weight eliminates the need for load-bearing frame or any additional fastening.Installation can be done on the basis of any strength.

Penofol easy to cut, even with scissors.This is especially useful for insulation in places laying of utilities (pipes, cables, trays).

And that is important - for its installation does not require the services of professionals who are free, as is known, did not work.This material is widely used for insulation of loggias and balconies - about it in detail here.

Environmental

Now a lot of attention is paid to this issue.Taking into account the existing experience of the use of material from this side to him no complaints.

Low cost

This is probably the most attractive "feature."On average, foiled penofolom finish will cost 3 - 4 times less expensive than other insulation.And if we add the cost savings and other insulation materials, the figure is even higher.

prices depend on the manufacturer and product type.But if you focus on the average, the cost of 1 m2 penofol foil follows (in rubles):

• «A» - from 39 to 65;
• «B» - from 62 to 90;
• «C» - from 100 to 235.
