How to choose a thermal insulation material?

A lot depends on the quality of the insulating material - the microclimate in the room, the level of comfort at different times of the year (especially in winter), as well as the size of utility bills. Therefore, the choice of thermal insulation must be treated with full responsibility, and this should be done not least, but even at the design stage.

If the house is intended for year-round use, it is necessary to think in advance how it will be heated during the cold season. In most cases, the installation of the correct thermal insulation can significantly "unload" the heating system, which provides good savings.

If the house is to be used only as a summer residence, you should take care of how it will be "preserved" for the winter. Here, high-quality thermal insulation will also be very useful - it will prevent the house from freezing and damp in the cold.

What should be considered when choosing thermal insulation materials?

• Climatic conditions: the "harsher" the climate, the higher the importance of thermal insulation. Materials must provide high-quality protection from cold, as well as withstand significant temperature changes. In this regard, basalt materials are among the most effective, because they retain their properties over a wide temperature range - from -100 to +1000 ° C.

• House size: the required power of the heating system depends on the size of the house, as well as the amount of thermal insulation material. Here the price of insulation comes to the fore - this is especially important if the house is large and the budget is limited.
• Construction technology: prefabricated houses, as a rule, do not provide reliable protection from the cold, so they need to be additionally insulated. Capital structures (for example, made of brick or wood) also need thermal insulation - this moment should be clarified even before the construction of the box in order to immediately plan the installation of thermal insulation material. The easiest way is if it is a lightweight and durable material, such as basalt wool or mats.
• Number of storeys: the number of floors affects the weight of the building. The more floors have to be insulated, the higher the load on the foundation - this must be calculated in advance so that the house does not "sink" due to an incorrectly selected insulation.
• Features of heating systems: not only the choice of the type of heat-insulating material depends on this, but also its placement, as well as the quantity. For example, in some houses, it is enough just to insulate the walls with basalt mats, but in some houses you will also need to insulate the floor and the roof.

Thermal insulation material must have the following characteristics:

• Fire safety is one of the main properties on which not only comfort, but also life depends.
• Reliable thermal insulation at any time of the year.
• Noise protection - this characteristic is especially important for houses that are located near highways and industrial facilities.
• Environmental safety - the material must be harmless to both the inhabitants of the house and the environment.
• Durability - ideally, the material should last for several decades.
