Wall insulation in our country, as a rule, is carried out according to the method «insulation with a thin plaster layer». That is, the thermal insulation material is simply mounted on the walls, which does not allow the building of cold air inside, and warm — out. At the same time, do not forget that it is also necessary to maintain the normal mode of vapor permeability of the room, because no one needs excess moisture to be accumulated in it, which will lead to mold and development of the fungus on the walls.
Polistyle foam (facade polystyrene) and mineral wool plates (glass wool plates) most often act as thermal insulation. The latter cost a little more, so they are used less often. But at the same time they have a significant advantage — they do not miss moisture. That is, when mounting mineral wool plates, you do not need to take care of creating an acarning layer.
Wall insulation begins with the preparation of the surface. Extra layers of cladding are removed, paint (preferably) too. Unevenness necessarily grinning, or hungry. Then the thermal insulation material is simply glued to the wall. You can also attach it to a pre -installed frame of aluminum profiles. Additionally, the insulation is strengthened with dowels (or self-tapping clips). On top of the entire structure is decorated with plaster, siding or decorative panels.
It is worth knowing that the insulation of the walls is quite realistic to carry out independently, without contacting the help of specialists. If we take into account Russia, then in this country many “independent” specialists in the insulation of houses have appeared in recent years, who actually crave only easy profit. Cases are not rare when the insulation work of such employees was carried out in the cold pores of the year. But wall insulation is allowed only when the temperature on the street is at least five degrees of heat! Therefore, be careful!
The insulation of the house in the future will save you at the expenses on the heating of the room. Statistics, represented by specialists of the construction industry, argues that saving on average ranges from 40 %! In addition, thermal insulation plates that are attached to the facade of the house also visually decorate the appearance of the room. That is, in this way it will also be possible to save on the work of the cosmetic repair of the building! The approximate cost of insulation of 1 m2 is estimated at 400-1000 rubles.
