Insulation of residential premises is a very important stage of repair work in countries with changeable and cold climates. You can insulate both outside buildings and inside. Today we will talk about materials for indoor insulation and about the selection of glue.
In what cases is it necessary to insulate the room inside?
It is necessary to insulate the room from the inside when:
- Absence of external thermal insulation of the room;
- There is a need to maintain the indoor microclimate of the room, especially in private homes, where cold rooms, for example, storerooms can be located next to warm ones, for example, with a sauna.
- The need to reduce too high audibility in the room.
What types of insulation are used for internal insulation?
The most popular types of insulation for internal use are:
Expanded polystyrene;- Polyurethane foam.
Expanded polystyrene is light, but at the same time durable material that has minimal water absorption, which is very important for insulation from the inside.
Polyurethane foam is characterized by high adhesion to any type of surface and monolithic coating. The material does not pass and does not absorb moisture, and also has good thermal conductivity characteristics.
Some may advise using stone wool to insulate the room, but this should not be done. This material with high vapor permeability will absorb moisture, which will eventually lead to the appearance of mold or fungus.
If your repairman suddenly offered to lay stone wool – run away from such a pseudo-master.
What material should I choose for laying thermal insulation material indoors?
First of all, the adhesive must be eco-friendly, designed specifically for laying thermal insulation material indoors or both inside and outside. Also, the adhesive must be breathable, non-flammable and have high adhesion rates to ensure good fixation of the material for thermal insulation to the surface.
For example, Teknoizofix glue is used just for laying expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foam and other thermal insulation materials on surfaces such as concrete, aerated concrete and brick.
