What insulation for walls is best not to buy

insulate their homes inhabitants of northern expanses began long ago.However, for our ancestors themselves in polobhvata logs of pine or larch, stuffed with moss or oakum, it was the best insulation of a house.Times are changing, capital log cabins set once, and well insulate the walls of his villa built, which wants to proudly call home, is vital.Nothing to do, go to the store or on building materials markets.

Winterizing Your home

we separately discuss the problem of warming the house from the outside, and some criteria for the selection of thermal insulation materials for these works.Arte repeat key recommendations on arrangement of the thermal protection of the perimeter of your living space.

  • Good insulation walls of the house should not absorb water.If mats (plate) laid in the frame cavity is highly hygroscopic, not isolated from the external and internal influences moisture vapor barrier layer double, then in the end we have: mold, fungus, rot and the rapid destruction of the supporting framework.
  • best to choose insulation for walls with fire resistance categories A1 or A2: wood, and brick buildings ignite from any nonsense and poor-quality interior insulation can only give heat accidental fire.
  • The main function of the inner insulating walls is obvious - to prevent the penetration of cold in the living room.The lower the thermal conductivity of the insulation for the walls, the warmer in your room.Technical characteristics of any insulating material you can find on the websites of the manufacturer or supplier of the product.Do not be lazy to compare and choose from.
  • Sometimes there is a need to do something in a country house with their own hands, for example, to insulate at least my room.The idea of ​​a perfect descendants will appreciate, but construction works ... The obvious conclusion: a good insulation for internal wall insulation in any building shall be simple and easy to use.How long does it cut where wanted - he built.It is from this perspective, we offer you two alternatives insulating walls of his country house.

Select foam for insulation home

history of this insulation material has already decades.All modern foamed plastics (polystyrene, polyurethane foam, penopropilena and so on.), Trade names such as "Penoplex" born from the familiar to you from childhood cubes for labor lessons.

Thermal insulation foam at home

  • Warming residential building similar materials - a measure likely forced.But we just have to support the producers of construction materials, while the market does not offer us something new.Excellent sound, heat and moisture.Small weight (minimum of problems with transportation, storage and installation).The loads on the supporting structures of any structure using a foam does not become critical, even with the full warming holiday home inside or outside.The benefits are clear, now the two fly in the ointment.
  • Plates foam (styrofoam) are very fragile, so installation vnutristenovogo or internal wall insulation in the building of these panels are best left to a professional or by breaking two or three cuttings, learn to fix them yourself.We remind the simple truth: it is better to insulate flat surfaces.
  • Foamed Plastics (foam) from leading manufacturers have fire resistance class not lower than A2, but that does not mean that they do not burn.The melting of any plastic is usually accompanied by the release of a large amount of poisonous gas for your body, so be careful with fire and electricity.

good insulation for the walls of the house from the outside: Sandwich - panels

should be recognized that engineering thought in the construction industry does not stand still, and some industrial development of industrial construction smoothly flow to the household level.Multi-layer sandwiches - the best evidence.

Sandwich - panel

design extremely simple: two thin-walled outer skin layer of galvanized steel with a thickness of 0.4-0.6 mm with padded inside filled with compressed mineral wool.The corrosion resistance of metal sheets provides a reliable polymer coating and composite characteristics of the insulation for the walls have the basis for durable binders.Specific 100 kg / m3 density filler ensures a low thermal conductivity and a small plate of sufficient weight for rough finishing coating strength.

Frankly, these panels are designed exclusively for industrial development as a good thermal insulation of walls of industrial, commercial and other non-residential buildings.But in the construction marketing is always a place for a miracle, and modified sandwich - panel found wide demand in the suburban housing construction, repeating the fate of the profiled sheeting.When quality of insulation joints such thermal protection will last a very long time, and for farm buildings in the country, it is simply irreplaceable.
