There is no need to talk about the need to warm the house, because this is an obvious fact. In this matter, special attention should be paid to the choice of material. After all, it depends on him how comfortable your house will be and how much the costs of it will be reduced.
First we decide on which side the walls will be insulated – from the internal or outer. Internal insulation has many minuses, the main of which is the probability of the formation of a dew point in the wall due to the temperature difference. Therefore, it is better to warm the house outside.
The ideal material for insulation is foam glass. This type of insulation has good heat -insulating properties, resistant to frost and fire, as well as environmentally friendly and durable. The truth is and the price of it is rather large, but the quality of the material fully corresponds to it.
Foam blocks are of different thicknesses, which should be taken into account based on the material and thickness of the walls of your house.
Consider the methods of fastening the insulation from the foam glass. The most popular mounting methods are two: mechanical (using special nails) and through glue. For greater reliability, you can combine them. It is better to choose a frost -resistant glue, and nails with plastic legs, in order to avoid the formation of the so -called “cold bridges”. The “laying” technology of the foam -glass also has its own nuances: it should be mounted (or with a shift) so that the blocks do not move off the walls. And the lowest layer should have a base, for example, in the form of a ledge of the foundation.
So, the basic rules of insulation of foam blocks are considered, the rest is a matter of technology.
