Insulation plaster - types , installation methods

Types of insulation of walls under plaster

Consider the most common materials for thermal insulation of walls under plaster.

• Mineral wool is made on the basis of metallurgical slag waste.It has useful features such as a low chemical and biological interactions with foreign substances, making mineral wool does not rot from the interaction with micro-organisms, fungi and bacteria.On the market it is presented in the form of rolls, and mats.Fiberglass
• - a material made of glass fibers.It has a high threshold of fire and increased flexibility due to the structure of the long fibers arranged in parallel.It sold in the form of plates and rolls.
• Foam glass - insulation produced from glass by bringing it to the boiling point and foaming.Completely non-combustible material, has a strength resistant to stress and mechanical stress.Can be purchased in the form of mats in a wide range sizes.
• slabs of basalt is made from mineral rocks.This material has a high density and resistance to deformation.The market is presented in a wide size range.
• foam - the cheapest insulation produced from waste oil.It has good insulating properties, but at the same time is flammable, has no persistent mechanical properties.
• Aerated concrete and gas silicate - one of the most popular methods of thermal protection, which is particularly acute need for plastering.

How is plaster on a heater

After the selected material is mounted on the wall, comes the next stage - plaster on a heater, which is made after the reinforcement. The aim is to further consolidate the insulating material and create a good base for a layer of plaster.Reinforced mesh is attached using special non-conductive heat and cold fasteners, plastic-like fungi.Feet are screwed into the supporting wall, and a hat to draw a grid of the wall and a heat insulator.

Once the wall is reinforced on its surface put plaster beacons.This simple act will facilitate the next stage and will provide a perfectly flat surface.Now you can move on to the plaster and insulation.To do this, take a pre-mixed solution and gradually working from the bottom up is applied to it along the prepared surface.

Plastering of walls for insulation - advice

• above methods can insulate both internal and external vertical surfaces.facade plaster on a heater is made similarly plastering interior walls for thermal insulation material.The only difference is that use different mixtures of working solutions.
• In carrying out these activities do not trust good eye: it is necessary to use a good measuring instruments.
• thermal insulation for the walls should be selected based on the temperature characteristics of its climate zone, adding to the average values ​​in your area reserve at least 30%.
• Plastering necessarily start at the bottom and at the top end, which allows the upper layers of the plaster mixture to have a good basis and not to swim in the process.
• is necessary to pay attention to the kind of the selected mesh for plaster, it is different, each has its own characteristics - strengths and weaknesses.
• choosing insulation, foil and other materials, be sure to check certificates for purchased material, a lot of fakes on the market.And the result of your repair or improvement depends on you!
