The heating season has not yet begun, but it has already become noticeably colder in the house? Or maybe the available heaters are just not enough to heat your home, especially in energy saving mode? It doesn't matter why you have to chatter your teeth: what matters is that you need to think about how to use heat more rationally.
How warm it will be depends on the house itself and many of its features. You can enjoy the warmth, spending a minimum of heating appliances, or you can heat with might and main, and still not know winter evenings without a sweater.
HOW TO MAKE A HOME WARMER WITHOUT HEATERS?
- First of all, it is important to insulate the house itself. If you are seriously thinking about saving heat and its rational use, pay attention to the thickness of the walls of your house. If the wall is 40 cm thick, then it is not surprising that you expect the winter period with horror: you will have to insulate the walls with foam or other material that has low thermal conductivity. If the house itself becomes a "thermos", then it will not get very hot in the heat, but it will not get cold in the winter frosts either.
- The next nuance of the house is the windows. Large windows bring in plenty of daylight. They are also a huge source of heat loss. The modern fashion of "glass" houses and floor-to-ceiling windows has its downside: the incredible fuel costs for heating such a house. Therefore, without insulating windows and eliminating cracks, it will not be easy to keep the heat in the house.
If the windows are wooden, then you have 2 ways: rational, but costly and long, but economical. Following the first path, you once change all the windows to metal-plastic at least three-chamber ones, thereby reducing heat loss by several times and eliminating the very concept of drafts. Unnecessary spaces are simply bricked up. The second way is an annual red tape with window insulation, plugging them with foam rubber, pasting with a film (by the way, a window curtained on both sides with an ordinary polyethylene garden film keeps heat no worse than metal-plastic. Appearance - this is an amateur), curtaining them with thick curtains.
- Make the most of outdoor heat and sunlight. During the day, remove everything from windowsills and windows that prevents light from getting inside. In the evening - curtain the windows with shower curtains or film: it will attract sunlight and heat, and at the same time prevent drafts. Doors, by the way, can also be hung with a film: when you enter the house, less cold air will flow there.
- Try to insulate the ceiling of the house, if the house is private: after all, warm air rises, leaving through the attic. Put foam or drywall on the floor of the attic, at worst, an old thick carpet.
- Thermally insulate the floor: carpet on the floor will greatly increase the comfort of walking.
- Use incandescent lamps for heating: they emit up to 90% of heat during operation, and only 10% goes to glow. Electricity costs will increase, but without a heater, the house will be warmer.
- Close rooms you don't use. If the house is two-story, it makes sense to heat only that part of the house that you use, and the largest rooms in terms of area should be closed and curtained altogether.
HOW TO FEEL WARMER IN A HOUSE WITHOUT A HEATER?
- If it is still very cold outside, then you can light a fire in the yard. Stones are heated on it (dense in structure, not building bricks), and they are brought into the house. For some time, the stones will give off heat no worse than the stove.
- Try to be in small rooms: they are faster to "breathe".
- Light candles, if any. Candles give off some of the heat.
- Use a hairdryer to dry your hair: warm your clothes and linen with it. You can also heat the bed, but manually: in no case leave the veins covered, otherwise it may catch fire.
- Cook food in the oven. Along with a delicious meal, get a heated kitchen. But dishes that produce a lot of steam when cooked are better not to cook: they increase the humidity in the room.
- Dress in multiple layers of clothing. Oddly enough, the proverb “why do I need your jacket if I have 3 bathrobes-ta-ta-ta” makes sense: several light sweaters are warmer than one dense one. Wear slippers and woolen socks: if your feet are warm, it is easier to warm up. In extreme cold, wear a hat: a large percentage of the heat goes through the head.
- Sleep in warm fluffy pajamas: it's a thing!
- Another thing is a warm down sleeping bag. Hikers successfully use this achievement, and nothing interferes with you: it perfectly warms and retains the heat of your body. By the way, you can’t climb into it very warmly dressed: a downy sleeping bag reliably stores your body heat, which is not released through three sweaters and a jacket.
- Put a heating pad in bed: heat water and pour it into ordinary plastic bottles. Such a heating pad will perfectly warm the bed. You can also heat a pillow with rice inside in the microwave: it also keeps heat for a long time.
- Drink hot drinks: Ginger tea is a great way to warm up.
- Let warm pets into the house. A cat in bed or in arms successfully replaces a heating pad.
- Hug: the coldest evenings are better spent together than alone!
Everyone knows that a comfortable stay in the house is not possible without heat. Being indoors at a low temperature, you constantly catch yourself thinking that you need to warm up somehow. A good heater will only temporarily help get rid of such sensations, but the problem should be solved radically - make the house warm.
Today, thanks to the "care" of the so-called democrats, the constant increase in prices for energy carriers and building materials is forcing private owners to cut down hard on literally everything. Including the heat. Over the past few years, domestic and world industry has developed a number of integrated systems for insulating houses to solve this issue.
To date, technologies for insulating existing houses are available:
- from wood;
- from brick;
- frame and concrete buildings.
If possible, such methods of insulation should be used even at the stage of construction of a private house - design solutions of this type already exist, for example, a “thermal house”.
It is no secret that the walls of a building are the weakest point in retaining heat. It is through them that its greatest losses occur (more than 50%). Knowing this, any economical owner, willy-nilly wondering how to make the house warm, starts work from the walls of the facade of the building, and, if possible, insulates the walls from the inside.
External insulation of houses.
External insulation of a private house involves the use of mineral wool and polyurethane foam as a heater. These materials are universal and have a number of positive properties.

Mineral wool is an environmentally friendly material with excellent thermal insulation characteristics and increased strength. It is also important that the properties inherent in it do not allow the material to support and spread combustion.
In most cases, when equipping a house from the facade, mineral wool is placed in the cavities of the frame floor. However, there is another way of fastening to external walls - using special anchor dowels.
polyurethane foam differs in small weight, but at the same time having good strength characteristics, and at the same time a wide range of applications.
Polyurethane foam is attached to the facade with glue, and then, in addition, it is fixed with anchor dowels. Unlike mineral wool, this material is combustible. To prevent fire, its outer side is plastered over a grid.
How to make a wooden house warmer.
The reason for significant heat loss in wooden houses is due to thermal radiation through basements, roofs, walls and windows. At the same time, more than 30% falls on the walls of the building and 30% on the windows and ceiling. This fact suggests that the insulation of the walls of the house should be made a priority.
Helpful Hints
Before you start learning all the secrets of keeping warm in the house, you should pay attention to how heat escapes from our house (percentage of all losses in a conventional panel house):
* Walls and doors - 42%
* Ventilation - 30%
* Windows - 16%
* Cellars - 5%
* Roof - 7%
How to keep warm in the house
1. In the morning, open curtains and/or blinds to let sunlight into your home. The glass in the window allows light to pass in but not out. In the house, light accumulates, starting from walls and furniture, and eventually turns into heat.
2. Use thick (dense) curtains at night to keep heat from escaping through windows. Without sunlight, windows become your enemy. Create thick wallpaper to keep the heat from escaping.
* You can use just a thick blanket to which a rod or stick is attached to keep the shape.
Measure your window and find something solid, such as a stiff rod or a strong stick, to which you can then wrap the curtain. You can also use the old rod from the former curtain (if you have one).
* You can also use two pieces of heavy fabric. There is an instruction for this:
2.1 Prepare two pieces of thick fabric. Lay both pieces of fabric one on top of the other drawing to each other. Secure everything with pins and cut so that you end up with a size a few centimeters larger than the size of the window.
2.2 Sew all layers on three sides. On the last 4th side, sew a third of the entire length from each end (it turns out that one unsewn third will remain in the middle). Use the unsewn part to turn fabrics inside out.
2.3 Insert a pin into the hole and secure it with a stitch, and sew the fabric to the end.
* If the curtains are long and cover the batteries, then attach loops to the bottom edge of the curtains, and sew buttons in the middle of the curtains. So you can string loops on buttons, raising the curtains above the battery.
3. Seal old window frames to avoid heat leakage. You don't have to spend a lot - inexpensive sealant can be found at any hardware store. It will also take you very little time.
4. If you still have bubble wrap from the products that were wrapped in it, cut off the size you need. It is worth noting that such a film can be purchased separately. Sprinkle some water on the window and lean the film against the window with bubbles - the water will act as glue for the film, and there will be no stains later. So you can reduce heat loss by 50%.
How to make the floor warmer
5. Cover the floors with carpets. There is nothing more unpleasant than being barefoot on a cold floor in the morning. In addition to feeling good, carpets also create an extra layer of insulation that keeps cold air from the floor from rising, which means your feet will thank you.
6. Use a sealing pad (cotton wool or foam rubber, for example) to close any gaps in the windows. After that, paste over the cracks with strips of cotton fabric (the width of each strip is 4-5 cm). This way you won't let the heat escape from the house.
7. It is desirable to have thick, massive doors in the house that will keep you a lot of heat. You can also upholster the old front door with leatherette filled with foam padding.
It is desirable to plaster all cracks with mounting foam. If you decide to install a new door, then see if you can save the old one, because. two front doors create an air gap between them and it insulates the heat.
How to keep your home warm
8. Attach a sheet of foil behind a radiator and it will reflect heat back into the room with little heat escaping through the wall. It is worth noting that the gap between the foil and the battery must be at least 3 cm.
9. If for one reason or another it is not possible to attach a metal foil screen, try to insulate the house from the outside. Order the insulation of the end wall (as a rule, this is done with special plates).
10. Take a shower with the door open (if possible). The heat and moist air created while bathing will raise the air temperature throughout the house.
11. Dry things at home. As well as bathing with the door open, this method increases the humidity of the air, and you will feel nicer and more comfortable.
Do-it-yourself home insulation
12. Rearrange furniture
Can't afford to insulate the walls outside? Then try rearranging the furniture. For example, put a large closet near the coldest wall. But note that the sofa should not be placed near the battery, because. you will disturb the air circulation.
13. If you have cracked windows, be sure to replace them.
14. If you decide to bake something, leave the kitchen door open so that the heat of the oven and / or stove spreads throughout the house.
15. The last thing you can buy a heater.
How to choose a heater
Before you buy a heater, you should know a few things.
First you need to decide what you need it for. Based on this, it is worth choosing how powerful the heater will be required. Find out the area of \u200b\u200bthe room (room). An ordinary apartment with ceilings of 2.75 - 2.8 m needs a heater with a power of at least 1 kW for every 10 square meters. m.
A big plus will be the presence of a temperature and power regulator in the heater. There are several types of heaters:
15.1 Oil heater
How does he work:
Inside such a heater there are 2 or 3 heating elements that are used to heat mineral oil. This oil has a rather high boiling point and when it is heated, the heat is given off over the entire metal surface of the apparatus.
With the help of such a heater, the air is heated quite quickly, besides, the oil heater does not dry out the air. It can be equipped with a thermostat that turns off the heater when the temperature reaches the set level.
15.2 Convector
How does he work:
Cold air is passed through the heater and heated, and then exits through the grates located in the upper part of the device. An additional source of heat is the convector body, which also heats up. But it is worth putting the heater away from furniture, because. a warm body can ruin it.
Convectors can be fixed to the wall or put on special legs. The device is quite safe, because. its heating element is hidden inside the case. If the convector has a thermostat, then it can work continuously.
The only negative is that the heater heats the room slowly. It should be used to maintain the desired temperature.
15.3 Fan heater
How does he work:
Inside this heater is a thin spiral, which is very hot. The heat created by heating the coil is distributed throughout the room with the help of a fan.
The air in the room heats up quite quickly, besides, the device itself is easy to carry, because. it's pretty light. Typically, a fan heater is used in offices.
But it is worth noting that the device dries the air, which in turn is harmful to health. A heat fan is undesirable to use where there is an asthmatic. Another disadvantage of such a device is the constant noise during its operation.
15.4 Infrared heater (quartz emitter)
How does he work:
This device, unlike others, heats the objects around it, not the air. Further heating of the room occurs due to the heat emanating from the heated floors, walls and furniture. This allows you to save electricity, because. the device itself may not work, and the room continues to be warm.
If savings are in the first place, then it is worth choosing just such a heater. But you should know that infrared quartz emitters are the most expensive and you need a specialist to install them.
Close windows and doors
In anticipation of the cold weather, the housewives do their best to insulate the windows. Double-glazed windows are the best option for insulation, but not everyone has the opportunity to install them at this moment. I do not want to buy any, but quality ones are much more expensive. So the hostesses do it the old fashioned way with the help of improvised means.
Before insulating the frames, you should inspect the glass - sometimes they do not “sit” very tightly, and cold air freely enters the house. To prevent this, the gaps must be carefully sealed. You can buy window putty at the store, or you can make it yourself by mixing flour glue and chalk in equal proportions. In addition, you can get rid of the gaps between the glass and the frame using silicone sealant. It is transparent and durable - once you miss the glass, you will forget about this problem.
Frames can be insulated in several ways. If you are not going to open, then lay the slots with foam rubber or cotton wool, and glue paper on top. This is a proven and reliable way. By the way, old newspapers are also great as a heater, and masking tape can be used instead of paper strips, just take a good one, otherwise it will peel off in a couple of weeks. You can also use ordinary transparent tape, but working with it is not very convenient, as it twists and sticks to your hands.
You can fill unnecessary gaps like this: soak newspapers in water and then fill the gaps with this mass. When this composition dries, it completely seals the free space. Cold air does not penetrate at all! And in the spring it is easy to get rid of such a heater - when you open the windows, it will fall off by itself.
Those who still intend to open the sashes in winter can be advised to stick foam rubber around the entire perimeter of the frame so that it does not interfere with closing the window. Do not save on insulation, a cheap one will cost you more, because it will fall off pretty soon, while high-quality material will last more than one year.
The same applies to doors, entrance and balcony. Of course, modern doors meet not only safety requirements, but also thermal insulation, which cannot be said about those that were produced earlier. They need to be additionally insulated and for this a rubber seal is glued to the door frame or door or felt strips are nailed.
Lay the cold floor under the balcony door with an old pillow or blanket, and the front door below can be upholstered with felt, so that the edge of the material covers the gap. Felt is nailed on the side in which the door opens.
To keep your feet warm
Underfloor heating is another prerequisite for comfort. After all, it happens that the floors remain cold, even if the air temperature at home is normal. This is especially true on the first floors. It seems to be not a problem - laying a carpet on the floor does not take long, but this may not always be the right decision. For people suffering from allergies or respiratory diseases (asthma, for example), it is contraindicated to cover the floors with carpets. You can get out of the situation with the help of felt-based linoleum and the "warm floor" system.
This system has already ceased to be a curiosity - more and more people are striving to install it in their apartment, as there are a lot of positive moments. It was especially appreciated by those who have small children, who spend most of their time on the floor.
The floor is heated using a special mat under the tiles, which is only three mm thick, or a two-core shielded cable installed in a concrete screed. All work must be carried out by specialists according to the rules of electrical installation. Probably, you should not experiment on your own, even if everything is fine with you. Connecting and checking the system is best entrusted to qualified electricians.
We increase the heat dissipation of batteries
If, and the house is cool, then you can resort to little tricks to increase their heat transfer. For example, attach a piece of foil to the wall behind the radiator, which will reflect warm air into the center of the room. By the way, hardware stores have long been selling foil canvases specifically for this purpose.
Heavy, dense curtains and battery grilles also retain heat, thereby preventing the room from heating up. Therefore, either change the curtains to lighter ones, or find another way to open the batteries.
Additional heat source
Even if the house is always warm, a heater in the household is still needed. It will come in handy, given that the heating season starts a little late in our country and ends when it is still quite cold outside. An adult can easily survive this inconvenience, while children have a harder time. Extra clothing restricts movement and interferes with play, and at night some babies throw off their blankets. Therefore, additional heating will only come in handy.
The choice of heaters is now wider than ever, and choosing the right one for you will not be difficult. You need to buy a radiator based on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. As a rule, 100 watts of radiator power is required per 1 square meter. Heaters are convection, oil and infrared.
Convection heaters were not very popular before, since, by heating the room, they burned oxygen. Today, convectors are somewhat more perfect - the maximum temperature of their heating is now not high, only 90 degrees, which contributes to the preservation of oxygen in the room. And due to the large surface area, they heat the air quickly and evenly. Convectors are absolutely safe. The body of the convector does not heat up above a certain temperature, and if a foreign object gets on the heater and raises it, the radiator will automatically turn off. And convectors do not require placement in the center - they can be placed under the window or in any other secluded corner and the room will still warm up evenly. The service life of such heaters is calculated in tens of years, even with their constant use.
Oil heaters are more bulky, but warm the air very well and do not burn oxygen. Inside such a radiator, a special heat-intensive oil circulates, which is heated by internal electric heaters and radiates uniform heat. Such a heater is equipped with a thermostat, which allows you to maintain the desired temperature in the room. Oil heaters are very convenient because they work efficiently with low power consumption.
Infrared heaters heat the air with heat radiation. Their feature is that even with too high ceilings, the room will warm up evenly from top to bottom. And infrared radiators save from drafts. You need to place them above the windows, which allows you to use these heaters in children's rooms.
When the house is warm, the atmosphere in it is completely different. The feeling of comfort and security increases, things are going well, and you want to spend more time with your family.
It can be solved both at the construction stage and directly during operation. Moreover, this can be caused by a desire to make housing warmer and more comfortable, or dictated by objective reasons - to correct mistakes made during the design.
There are several options for how you can make your home warmer. It all depends on the degree of readiness of the building, the material and technology chosen for construction, as well as the financial capabilities of the homeowner.
If you look at private residential buildings through the screen of a thermal imager, you can understand that buildings that are completely protected from heat loss simply do not exist. Every home releases heated air to some extent.
Display of heat loss on the thermal imager Depending on the quality of construction, selected materials and technology, the percentage of heat loss varies. Regardless of this, there is a rating of the most vulnerable or problematic places, which, more than others, are cold bridges.
Taking this data as a basis, it becomes clear how to solve the problem, and what to insulate in the first place. If the construction of a house is still at the design stage, then it's time to think about what and what technology to build it from in order to save on additional insulation in the future.
Construction technologies on guard of heat
Despite the vast experience in low-rise construction, the debate about which house is the warmest has not subsided so far. Because there is no single answer to this question. As soon as any technology or material proves itself in the market, it is replaced by another one with better characteristics and performance. And in combination with the already accumulated experience, he generally makes a revolution in the professional environment.
brick house
Warm but expensive. Monowall technology is practically not used in construction in its pure form (the entire area is completely laid out from bricks). The result is too much expensive material consumption and inefficient use of space. The recommended thickness of the walls of a residential building depends on the climatic conditions. In Russia, this figure ranges from 300-400 mm in southern cities and up to 800-1500 mm in temperate and northern latitudes (Urals, Siberia).
Cross-sectional laying of warm brick In most cases, a brick house needs additional external insulation. It is suitable exclusively for the construction of buildings for permanent residence, since the microclimate must be constantly maintained inside. Long-term conservation of the object has a detrimental effect on brickwork: the material begins to absorb moisture and collapse. Yes, and in winter it will not be possible to quickly warm up such a house, in order to achieve the final result, the process must last at least 72 hours.
Aerated concrete block house
Great option for building a house. Suitable for those who are going to build a seasonal cottage, and those who choose a house project for permanent residence. If the main criterion for you is the heat capacity of the future home, then aerated concrete and its derivatives are one of the best options.
Construction from modern aerated concrete blocks The calculations of specialists and the practice of using this material proved that such a block is suitable for the construction of a single-layer wall, which does not have to be additionally insulated from the outside. There is a saving of time and money.
Unlike brick, aerated concrete walls are made up to half a meter thick, which makes it possible to comfortably operate the house even in the northern regions of the country.
For the construction of a country house with the possibility of visiting in winter, it is enough to build walls only 230 mm thick.
Wooden house
Another favorite in the construction market is a wooden house. Along with brick, he has his own army of adherents. But even among them there is a split, and there are constant disputes about which wooden house is warmer.
Timber house
The thickness of the walls should be from 150 to 240 mm wide. This is again determined based on the climatic features of the territory where the house will be built. The beam has a large area of contact with each other, so the walls can be made thinner than when building a house from logs. A simpler and more practical version of wooden houses. Despite the good heat-saving performance, houses made of timber are still recommended to be additionally insulated.
log house
The diameter of the logs used for the construction of a house for permanent residence is 240-280 mm. For suburban options, the figure may be less. A house located in the northern corners of the country is best built from thicker logs. An important role is played not by the diameter of the log itself, but by the area of their contact with each other, that is, the width of the groove-lock. It is this place that is the weak link in such a house. It is possible to insulate a log house, but it is irrational. Firstly, all the natural beauty of the log house is hidden behind a layer of insulation. Secondly, it is quite difficult to professionally insulate a log house from logs, but it is possible.
Meanwhile, natural wood is an excellent material for building houses for permanent and seasonal use.
It is easy to warm up such a house in a matter of hours, even if no one has appeared in it for a long time, and there are severe frosts outside.
Frame house
Construction technology, time-tested in the foreign construction market. It is gaining popularity in Russia, but it still meets a lot of skeptics and adherents of the classical methods of building houses.
Fast, simple and inexpensive - the main advantages that characterize. Using this technology, houses can be built in regions with a hot climate, and on the northern outskirts of the country.
Frame construction technology The basis is a wooden frame made of timber, and the walls are multi-layered sandwiches, assembled according to the needs of a particular climate. The required layer of insulation - from 50 to several hundred millimeters - is laid in a horizontal and vertical crate, sheathed with vapor and waterproofing films, covered inside and out with a material chosen by the customer: board, lining, gypsum, OSB boards and other available names. There is no need to additionally insulate such a house. If there are doubts about whether it will be warm enough in it, you can add an additional layer of insulation to the walls of the house at the construction stage.
Modern combined technologies
They allow you to build a house from the desired materials with a minimum wall thickness, while making it as warm as possible. For this, the principle of multilayering is used. When at the construction stage a layer of structural material is insulated, and then the facade is laid out. 
- This technology is used to build a brick house, not maintaining the minimum allowable width of the walls. Assembling a sandwich of supporting bricks, insulation and finishing bricks.
- They also save on the construction of houses from aerated concrete, when walls are built in one block for a house in the northern latitudes, but then they additionally insulate it and close it with a facade.
- It is possible to build a house from a bar, with walls less than the permissible width, closed facades, but additionally insulated from the outside.
- In addition, frame-fill construction is possible. In the first version, the frame is made of hollow foam blocks, inside of which reinforced concrete is poured. And in the second version, two brick walls are exposed - external and internal, and the space between them is filled with liquid insulation.
If the house is cold, it needs to be insulated
It is not always possible to make a house warm during the construction phase. There are design errors, changes in operating conditions, requirements for the building by the owners, and much more. Especially the problem of additional insulation of housing is relevant for those homeowners who have purchased a ready-made house in the secondary market. It is simply impossible to get objective information about how warm it is in the rooms in winter until you have wintered there yourself.
House insulation If the problem has become apparent, you can make the house warm with your own hands. To do this, you need to determine what the house is built from, what type of insulation is best suited, and how to install it correctly. And then the matter remains small.
Insulation for exterior walls of the house
When choosing a material to make the walls of the house the warmest, you need to remember that the matter is not limited to insulation only. It will be necessary to purchase additional vapor and waterproofing, a windproof membrane, material for attaching insulation, possibly arranging battens and counter-battens. And also choose the finishing of the facade - it can be facing brick, plaster, or a ventilated facade.
House insulation with mineral wool Today on the market you can find several types of heaters. You can work with some of them on your own, and when choosing others, you can seek help from specialists or rent expensive equipment.
mineral insulation
Mineral, stone, basalt wool, mineral wool board - these are all varieties of the same insulation. Release form: in rolls and plates. Different density and thickness allow you to choose the optimal amount that is convenient for work in your case. Of the main advantages, one can note the environmental friendliness of the material and its incombustibility. According to the thermal conductivity, you can also choose products: from low to high degree. This will also affect the price.
Mineral basalt insulation in the context Mineral insulation can be laid both in a specially prepared crate - vertical and / or horizontal, or can be attached to the surface on a dish-shaped dowel-umbrella. Suitable for insulating almost any surface, but it requires organizing a well-ventilated space inside the facade, as well as installing a vapor barrier.
Polystyrene and foam
A special type of insulation, which is widely used in construction. It is also used for wall decoration. It is ideal both for warming a house during the construction phase, for example, inside the masonry of facing and structural material, and for warming ready-made structures.
The video talks about the pros and cons of using polystyrene for home insulation
It is not recommended for warming wooden houses, as it is not an environmentally friendly material. But it is ideal for warming brick and aerated concrete surfaces. It practically does not absorb steam, therefore it can be attached to walls with similar characteristics without additional film and membrane protection. Polystyrene plates can be glued to special compounds, or they can be fixed with dowels-umbrellas. A huge disadvantage is the flammability of the material, so it must be carefully covered from the outside from external factors.
Spray insulation
Due to the non-standard method of application, these types of insulation make it possible to fill the voids between the facade and the wall much better, which means it is better to isolate the surface and prevent heat leakage. For example, if it is decided to process a log house and make a warm wooden house, then one of these types of insulation is better than sheet and roll materials. Since it will better fill the textured structure of the walls.
Ceramic insulation
A fairly young material, which is still not widely used in low-rise construction. It is a unique composition that looks like paint. It is enough to apply it on the wall with a layer of 1-5 mm to achieve maximum effect.
Liquid insulation for walls It is based on microgranules and spheres, seizing with each other and forming a protective layer, they create an effect that resembles a vacuum in properties. Minimum thermal conductivity, maximum useful protective properties for the surface.
Nano-particle liquid ceramic insulation And the method of application - painting or spraying - allows you to treat any surface, including the most inaccessible places. Creating a protective inseparable film over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe wall is the best thermal insulation that can be. No roll or sheet material can compete with this effect.
Perfect for homeowners who do not have classic smooth walls, but various design solutions - smooth or broken lines in the external design of the house, circles and spheres.
After watching the video, you can verify the effectiveness of ceramic insulation
Carrying out external insulation of the walls of the house, you need to understand that this work is not done for centuries. It is desirable to control the condition of the insulation, regularly check its properties and qualities, and, if necessary, replace it. If the installation work is done correctly, all the requirements for installing steam and hydro protection are met, ventilation gaps are made, then the insulation should last from 10 to 15 years, after which it is recommended to replace it. In the event of a violation of technology, the work will need to be repeated much more often.
Mineral insulation sometimes gets wet and shrinks, which significantly reduces its thermal insulation properties, and polystyrene boards tend to crumble and collapse. Liquid and foam insulation should not be damaged, that is, they must be checked for cracks and delamination from the walls of the building. Some of them do not accept contact with water or steam.
Thermal insulation of the house Competent prevention and timely measures taken to eliminate deficiencies also help to increase the life of the insulation, which means they help to keep the heat in your home longer and better.
