When deciding on the insulation of a building, two options are possible: internal insulation and external insulation. At first glance, internal insulation seems to be preferable, since it is much easier to work inside the building.
In addition, internal insulation does not prevent the formation of condensate on the walls, and this leads to damage to the building by fungus and mold. Therefore, this method has not received the proper distribution.
The External Insulation turned out to be more popular, both for reconstructed buildings and for new construction. The only exceptions are cases when external insulation is not possible for one or another technical or constructive reason.
To perform External Cavity Wall Insulation, specialized materials with sufficiently high thermal performance in the form of plates or mats are used. Such plates are fastened with synthetic adhesives and pastes or polymer expansion anchors.
The main thing to remember is that heat loss through window openings is much higher than through the walls themselves. But the total area of ​​the windows is much less than the area of ​​the walls. Due to the large area of ​​the walls, there is a significant loss of heat through them, and the need for high-quality insulation of the facade is connected with this.
The advantages of this method are that :-
[1] Great protection from environmental agents
The walls of the building are reliably protected from both the effects of atmospheric phenomena and temperature fluctuations. It provides sufficient thermal stability that is important not only in winter, but also in summer, when external insulation helps to avoid overheating of the walls.
This is especially important, since these factors are one of the most common causes of wall failure.
[2] Cover all "cold bridges"
with External Cavity Wall Insulation, when the insulation completely covers the outer surface of the concrete elements, the problem of the formation of "cold bridges" is solved.
This is important because concrete has a higher thermal conductivity than brick.
[3] Protect from external damages
It can protect the facade of the building from damage. It increases sound insulation, remove the dew point beyond the wall structure, and protects the wall from getting wet.
Hire CAVITY WALL INSULATION service that provides properly selected and good quality facade and properly applied to the surface.
[4] Increase the Value of Your Home
Proper use of thermal insulation increases the value of the building. As such, facade insulation represents capital gains for home and building owners.
Conclusion :
The main task with this method of solving the issue of maintaining the temperature inside the premises is to protect heat-insulating materials from atmospheric influences - precipitation and solar radiation.
According to the type of construction, the protection of the heat-insulating layer is divided into two groups: external insulation systems of the "wet" type and facade insulation systems with a ventilated air gap. And the facade paint must also be specialized, of good quality, properly selected, and properly applied to the surface.
