Effective wall insulation in the apartment

It's not a secret for anyone that the price of energy carriers is getting higher every year, as resources are gradually coming to an end, and there is a sharp deficit in the world today. In this regard, the issues of rational consumption of electricity and gas are becoming very relevant, and many are trying to minimize possible heat loss through windows, walls and doors in their home or apartment. That's why competent wall insulation in the apartment is gaining popularity, as once spent on effective insulation, you will never overpay for heating your house. The cost of heat will drop for you several times, so at the first opportunity, you should definitely insulate your home.

One of the most popular materials in this regard today is foam, which has minimal heat conductivity. Due to this property and a relatively small price, many owners use it for high-quality insulation of facades and balconies. It is a mistake to think that only private houses need insulation, because even in multi-storey high-rise buildings the solid insulation of the walls in the apartment will give an excellent effect, which you will feel almost immediately. In terms of cost savings, it is most advantageous to carry out such work in the spring, when masters have fewer orders. It should be noted that the thermal insulation of the walls not only makes it possible to effectively keep heat in the cold season, but also protects the external walls from strong warming in the summer, as a result of which you get the optimum temperature in the room throughout the year.

Styrofoam and expanded polystyrene are produced in different thicknesses, which are selected depending on which region of the country you live in. It is most effective to use foam plastic, 10 cm thick, since in this case you will be able to protect your apartment as much as possible from the penetration of cold through the walls. If you live in the southern regions of Russia, then a 5 cm thick insulation will do.

The insulation of the walls in the apartment allows, among other things, to protect your walls from dampness, which is sometimes present in this or that room in many owners. After gluing and strengthening the foam plastic with additional plastic dowels, the entire surface is plastered on a special reinforced mesh. After that, the outer finish is "bark beetle", which can have any shade, depending on the preferences of the customer.

However, the walls can be warmed in the apartment not only from the outside of the wall, but also from the inside, so the thermal effect will be higher. Here, it is true that the foam is a product of the chemical industry, and it is highly undesirable to use it indoors. The fact is that when interacting with air, as well as ultraviolet rays from it, gas phenol is released, which is harmful to the human body. For this reason, most customers prefer to perform only external insulation of the walls of the apartment or house.

If you live in a private home, the high-quality performance of foam insulation systems will allow you to not only reduce the cost of heating the house, but also profitably transform the appearance of your home. After all, when the external walls are insulated with polystyrene foam, you not only level the walls of your house, but also after that, finish the exterior with textured plaster. As a result of such finishing, the walls of your home will not only be warm, windproof and waterproof, but also beautiful.

Summarizing, one should once again draw your attention to the fact that a qualitatively executed outer covering with heat-insulating materials is much more effective than internal insulation of walls.
