If you do not like city apartments in panel houses and you do not want to depend on the mercy (disfavour) of housing companies - it's time to buy a house a few kilometers from the ring road and enjoy the silence and solitude of rural life. In addition, in your own house you are your own director: you wanted to build three floors - please, you don't like the veranda - make a new one, the walls are in the way - just demolish them! No restrictions in terms of architectural compliance and compliance with strict and by no means objective rules of SNiP! At the same time, you independently conclude contracts with vodokonals and other household services, so you can hope that the house will be relatively warm in winter.
Why did we use such an inappropriate word - hope? But because the comfortable temperature in the room depends on the quality of the materials for thermal insulation.
Insulation of a private house: how to choose the right material?
The choice of thermal insulation material depends on several factors:
- Insulation type (external or internal).
- Budget (if you have enough funds, you can buy natural stone or modern materials based on natural wood; inexpensive synthetic materials such as siding, expanded polystyrene and polyfacade will be an alternative).
- The material from which your house is built.
First, let's consider the most common option - house facade insulation ... In this case, you can use any heat-insulating materials, the main thing is to follow the installation technology so that the "dew point" - the place where condensation forms in severe frost and freezing occurs - is not inside the wall, but on its surface.
The procedure for insulating a private house is complicated if, for some reason, the installation of heat-insulating materials from the outside is impossible. Then you will have to use the same materials as when building a house, or at least analogs that are close in technical characteristics. Let us explain why. For example, you bought a wooden house in the central part of the city, and the architectural commission is categorically against "changing the appearance of the building." You insulate the wooden walls from the inside using expanded polystyrene, and after a while black mold appears in the house, and the building itself gradually collapses. Why is this happening? Synthetic insulation materials create a "greenhouse effect"; the temperature outside rises and falls, which is why condensation forms on the expanded polystyrene. Moisture is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. The house quickly falls into disrepair; you are forced to do major repairs.
Therefore, for the inner
