Modern repairs of the apartment, we emphasize – modern, simply cannot conceive without the use of thermal insulation materials in completely different construction processes. How is it, you ask, because the house has already been built, it would seem where it can still be useful? In fact, in several very useful works. If you want to insulate the loggia in order to increase the useful area of the apartment at the expense of it – be kind to insulate it to reduce heat loss to the minimum permissible. We stopped at a new building and do not want to hear how neighbors make repairs – use the insulation as excellent sound insulation. And what are thermal insulation materials? When repairing the apartment, two main types of thermal insulation are used – mineral wool insulation and extrusion foam polystitropol. Each of them has its own characteristics, pros and cons, we will dwell on each of them in more detail.
Mineral water insulation is best used on a basalt -based (by melting stone rocks), t. To. Such thermal insulation has a minimum waterjack, good vapor permeability, it is quite durable and holds the shape well. One of the advantages is also the fact that thermal insulation on a mineral wool is non -combustible, it can be safely used for warm floors, for example, with the same insulation of the balcony. Such material is environmentally friendly, durable and absolutely safe in operation. When the noise insulation is used, it is the main isolation material, and when warming the balcony, they can safely sheathe walls, entrusting the floor and ceiling to extrusion polystyrene foam, which will be discussed further.
Extruse polystyrene foam is a very effective thermal insulation material consisting of many closed cells, which has increased strength, water resistance, and a small coefficient of thermal conductivity, which makes it an excellent insulator. Such insulation is used mainly when warming basements and basement floors, t. To. He does not rot, moisture -resistant, does not react with other materials and substances. But even in the repair of the apartment, he can find application, for example, when installing thermal insulation of the floor and ceiling. True, there is one but-foaming foam, so fuel, so for its protection is laid on top (when the floor is warming) and below (when warming the ceiling) cement-stoves in two layers, or other leaf-combed material. When warming the floor and ceiling, thermal insulation slabs do not sag due to their high stiffness, do not bend, which makes their installation convenient and quick.
