Attention Should Be Paid To Thermal Insulation
Energy performance certificate program was started in buildings. It will be obligatory to hang an energy identity document showing the number of consumed energy and the number of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming and climate change in new buildings and in visible places of all owned buildings until 2020 .
With the help of this document, you will be able to see the effects on fuel and electricity bills depending on the energy efficiency of the buildings you will buy or rent. If your building has not been insulated yet , we think that the topics covered below about the issues to be considered while applying sheathing may be of interest to you. You can access our article from the link for the renovation of the exterior of old buildings .
What Should We Consider When Choosing Thermal Insulation - Sheathing Material?
The city where your building is located, the altitude and the height of the building are the factors that you should consider when determining the exterior cladding product you will choose and the thickness of this product. You can click to find out the recommended insulation thicknesses according to your location. When it is decided to have sheathing in buildings , it should be noted that the insulation material to be selected has a CE certificate .
In addition to the insulation boards , it should be checked whether auxiliary elements such as adhesive, plaster, mesh, mesh corner, dowel are ideal for the standards. Attention should be paid to the consumption of these products, which are offered by the companies as a package and will work in harmony with each other, in the case of a set.
Considerations When Choosing a Sheathing Company
It should be checked whether the company to be insulated has a specialized team related to the program and workmanship, and if possible, it should be decided by seeing the works it has done in the past. When making an agreement with the implementing company , care should be taken to ensure that it is a reliableand do not forget to include guarantee clauses in your contract.
Pay attention in your contract that all necessary safety precautions will be taken during the construction of the works, and that the ideal scaffolding and working environment will be provided to the Occupational Health and Safety Laws . During the construction of your exterior sheathing works, pay attention to the relevant article in your contract that all workers who will work in the insulation of the facade will be paid SSI premiums .
Matters to be Considered During the Sheathing Application:
Ensure uninterrupted thermal insulation of the outer-facing walls of all spaces in the building . For example , make sure that the thermal insulation board turns from the wall to the joinery on the windowsills and is adjacent to the joinery . Make sure that the bottom of the terraces or the bottom of the overhangs is alsocovered with jamb cladding . Since the interruptions in the thermal insulation will cause the formation of thermal bridges, it causes condensation spots on the walls and ceilings inside the buildings and mold growth over time.
Before the scaffolding is erected and the work begins, ensure that an occupational health and safety specialist inspects the safety of the work area and, if not, the workers receive the necessary training . Remember, you will be legally responsible for the safety of all workers working in your building . We recommend continuing the programs on shaded surfaces in sunny and hot weather, and not working in rainy weather .
We can briefly list the Matters to be Considered in Sheathing as follows.
What Should We Pay Attention To While Making Thermal Insulation?
Often, in old houses, it is necessary to warm the inner walls of the apartment or completely replace the insulation with more technical insulation. It is important to choose the right material and install it correctly, otherwise condensate will begin to accumulate and mold will form directly inside the walls. And overcoming the consequences of improper thermal insulation is very expensive and time-consuming. So do not rush, calculate the possible options and choose the only correct solution.
Expanded polystyrene
Or it is also called - polystyrene (PPP). This most common insulation is obtained by the polymerization of styrene, which is heated and foamed under the influence of a gas-forming substance. The resulting granules can be placed on the horizontal roof for insulation, but in most cases, compacted blocks or slabs are already on sale. It has excellent thermal insulation properties and practically does not absorb moisture. While warming, they will not have to build formwork and perform additional work on the walls of waterproofing and vapor barrier. It was condemned during operation and for several decades retained its qualities with proper installation.
Apart from that, its low price is also attractive. But the choice of material for indoor wall insulation should be approached with great responsibility, and in this case it should not be cost-effective. PPP has many disadvantages, which are not so important for the insulation of the walls of external or non-residential premises, but are a serious threat to apartments and private houses.
Polystyrene is flammable and emits toxic substances harmful to human health when burned;
PPP sheets are very fragile and break easily, so you often have to buy materials;
Rodents are almost always present in the teaching staff and happily put their noses in it. This leads to the destruction of insulation and the need to use special chemicals. Thermal insulation is an absolutely essential consideration when placing an air conditioner or heater in a room . A significant amount of heat is exchanged from the outside through walls and windows. The best way to increase the efficiency of an air conditioner or heater is to install the correct thermal insulation in the room.
The best way to protect heat loss through windows is considered to be 'double gauge' (glazed) glass or 'insulated' glass. Double corrugated (glazed) glass or insulated glass is a combination of two or more glasses (glass) whose air gap consists of air or gas (as shown in the figure below). The space between the glass layers and the air provides resistance to heat flow. Thus, they reduce heat loss from the heater or the ingress of solar heat from the outside, especially when an air conditioner is on. It also works to reduce the U(U) factor (or solar heat coefficient).
Double Measured (Glazed) Glass:
Sitting close to windows in extreme summer or winter seasons is a bit difficult or rather unpleasant. But if the windows have double corrugated (glazed) glass, it definitely provides more comfort. This type of glass can also provide further improvements in the efficiency of air conditioners and heaters, thus helping you to limit your electricity bill.
