When building a house, it is necessary to clearly understand its purpose – whether it is a holiday house, which is not necessary to warm, or it will be a house for year-round living. There are different types of insulation, so they need to be well understood before giving preference to one of them.
Styrofoam
Expanded polystyrene is characterized as a material with low thermal conductivity. Consequently, its thickness can be safely reduced. Because he keeps warm indoors. But there is a drawback – poor vapor permeability. This means that polystyrene foam is by no means suitable for wooden buildings. In addition, it is more difficult to fit in size.
Extruded polystyrene foam
Extruded polystyrene is characterized by the fact that during its production high temperatures are used so that the granules constituting its base are mixed. Extrusion proper gives it increased strength and low thermal conductivity. It is resistant to vapor permeability, to changes in temperature. Therefore, this material can be called durable. But it is quite simple to use and fit. And, most importantly, he is not afraid of the processes of decay.
Fiberglass
The fiberglass components are cullet, soda and sand. The production technology of fiber glass is a combination of the highest technologies. Fiberglass pressed into the canvas, which, in turn, rolled into rolls. This simplifies their further use.
Features of stone-based mineral wool
Stone-base mineral wool is a material that can withstand high temperatures. Therefore, it greatly prevents the fire. And in the frosty season, mineral wool on a stone base retains heat indoors well. Our company recommends mineral wool insulation, the advantage of mineral stone-based mineral wool is hydrophobicity. That is, it does not actually get wet. This means that in the event of increasing humidity, this material continues to retain heat. In addition, about the mechanical effects of this material retains the desired thickness. Being located chaotically, its constituent fibers are woven inside. This, accordingly, gives the material high rigidity. We also recommend and use the silicate system of materials from the German manufacturer KEIM, which are very well suited for finishing and have been used for 12 years.
