Many are insulating their home. And the choice of suitable materials is an important component before starting work. If you choose the right insulation, you can achieve the ideal temperature in winter and coolness in summer.
There are no universal heaters that are equally well suited for brick walls, wood, floors and roofs. Each material has its own positive qualities, which determine the scope of its application during the insulation of the house. The construction market offers a wide range of heaters, from which it is sometimes very difficult to choose the right solution.
Types of insulation for the home
Mineral wool - usually in the form of rolls and slabs, and is ideal for roof and floor insulation. It can also be used for wall insulation, but with its subsequent isolation from the manifestation of external factors of nature. When choosing mineral wool, you need to take into account its density and size so that the insulation gives the desired result.
Polyfoam is the most common and versatile material. Due to its low cost, everyone can afford it, and excellent insulating properties, good sound protection and lack of toxicity complete the list of positive qualities. Styrofoam is great for wall insulation, and can be used on almost any wall, from any material.
The only exception to the application is wooden houses. Styrofoam is highly flammable, and in combination with wooden construction can cause a fire.
How to apply heaters correctly
Which insulation is best for walls, and which for the floor, what to choose for roof insulation. There is no single answer here, it all depends on many factors. But, of course, there is a general trend in this matter.
If for some reason the house needs to be insulated from the inside, foam plastic and polystyrene foam are best suited for these purposes. Having a minimum thickness and the highest rates of heat saving, the material will not greatly reduce the space of the room, but at the same time it will significantly increase the temperature comfortable for living.
Mineral wool or glass wool is best suited for roof insulation. Due to the fact that it is supplied in the form of rolls, it will not be difficult to insulate the roof. And you will feel the quality of such insulation in the very first winter, when the heat will not leave your home through the ceiling.
Basalt wool is ideal for both exterior wall insulation and floor insulation. This material does its job very well. And you can also put plaster on it, and decorate the house to your liking.
Any heater, if you buy it and use it correctly, copes with its duties, brings home not only warmth, but also coolness in the summer heat.
