Modern developments in insulation materials offer easy, fast and affordable solutions for dealing with insulation problems in buildings. Every insulation problem is addressed differently and requires proper study. Some of the most common problems include moisture from the roof terrace, the ground, the tiles on the balcony or even from a shower.
Did you know…? The insulation materials available on the market today can save us up to 50% of the energy we waste.
Types of Insulation
Home thermal insulation
With thermal insulation of our home, we achieve significant energy savings during the winter months by maintaining a stable temperature inside the house, creating a more comfortable and pleasant environment for the occupants. It also has the advantage of protecting the exterior walls from mold, which can appear on the interior surfaces of exterior walls and ceilings. In this way it helps create an effective barrier against moisture.
External thermal insulation (ETICS)
External thermal insulation is applied to old and new buildings by placing the insulating material on the exterior side of the building. It covers the entire surface, except for the openings, in order to prevent thermal bridges. Expanded polystyrene is usually used as the insulating material, but extruded polystyrene is sometimes used in special cases.
Waterproofing
Moisture usually appears when the insulating material has not been installed correctly, has been damaged or is missing altogether. In many cases, it is difficult to tell whether a building has been properly waterproofed, because the waterproofing may be covered by other materials. Examples of this are when the basement wall is covered by soil, or the roof terrace is covered by the thermal insulation material, or a veranda is covered by tiles.
Roof terrace insulation
The roof terrace faces many challenges and is exposed to extreme conditions throughout the year: from the high temperatures of the summer months, when it is constantly exposed to the sun, to the low temperatures of winter, especially in areas with snowfall. In addition, we must take into account the contraction and expansion that occurs on this surface, which is significant due to temperature changes.
Insulation tips:
- Install external thermal insulation on the whole house
- Install internal thermal insulation only where needed
- Thermal insulation of the roof terrace
- Replacement of window and door frames with energy-efficient ones
