The use of liquid insulation in recent years of controversy and differing opinions not only ordinary people but also the builders. There is an opinion that the material has a harm to human health, but when properly used this raw material will protect the house from the wind and cold, giving warmth and comfort in winter. After reviewing the different types of material, their characteristics, can independently carry wall insulation.
Is there a health hazard?
Liquid insulation for the inner and outer surfaces of the walls - most successful type insulation used today. With it you can save significant space of the room, and spend a minimum of time resources on the warming process.
Building stores offer several types of liquid insulation: foam and ceramic Penoizol insulate thermal paint.
Liquid foam: main features and costs
Priming foam in demand due to the high strength, possible applications in inaccessible areas, as well as ecology and excellent insulating qualities. This material is used for both the outer as well for the inner insulating walls. This is due to the lack of any smell that does not cause discomfort to residents of the room.
The cellular structure of the foam liquid type allows to use it even in high-rise work. Manufacturing staff can be engaged directly on the construction site.
Main features of the liquid polystyrene:
- resistance to pathogens - mildew fungus;
- resistance to fracture;
- high strength;
- durability.
Due to the porous structure of the wall after the insulation materials can "breathe". Acceptable use this insulation in freezing and excessive heat. The service life of the liquid foam type - from 60 to 70 years.
In the market of building materials offer a liquid foam in cylinders. For example, for the domestic production cylinder 780 mL necessary to give about 570 rubles. For German material manufacturing capacity 850 ml client give about 350 rubles. Raw Chinese origin 750 ml will cost from 400 rubles.
Especially liquid penoizol
Another contender for wall insulation - liquid Penoizol. The material on the characteristics able to surpass the mineral wool and polystyrene. Base material - foamed and solidified urea resin.
Penoizol the building materials market is in the medium price range, so it is loved by the masters of wall insulation. raw application finds its echoes still with the 30s of the last century, but then warming penoizol not in demand because of the high cost. Material as actual manufacture on the construction site.
This material is often used as a filler between the inner frame and the outer surface of the wall. But thanks to the good performance, Penoizol can apply to be placed on a steep wall.
Several basic characteristics of said material:
- It does not increase in volume;
- represents suflepodobnuyu weight'm going foam;
- It is used for thermal insulation of walls and floors;
- It is about 50 years;
- low water absorptivity.
Penoizol use in external walls and partitions of buildings made of wood, made of reinforced concrete; in buildings that are subject to repeated dismantling, as well as roof panels.
Cost penoizol liquid depends on the type of the brand. For example, advertisements can often be found directly on the fill material prices - from 1500 rubles per 1 cu. meter. However, some manufacturers offer components for the independent production of UF foam - resin VPSG, ABSFK and phosphoric acid.
Liquid ceramic insulation: what is it?
Another most popular representative of the liquid insulation is a ceramic option. This material is considered to be the most popular because of its technical characteristics, however, are often not used by people because of the high cost. Ceramic insulation are attracted by the fact that it can be applied to brick, wood, concrete structures. She has also been successfully used on metal, plastic and drywall in order to increase their strength.
Ceramic liquid waterproof foam for insulation of walls has a high fire resistance, and is completely safe for humans. After doing work on warming, you can use any kind of finishing directly on the material. The raw material is based lacquer or water, so it is best to use it at temperatures above zero. In the process of applying the composition, it need stirring every 10 minutes.
The cost of the ceramic heater ranges from 2 thousand rubles per bucket of 10 liters. Consumption of raw materials cost, so it is best to apply it with a special atomizer on the compressor.
How to distinguish a harmless material from hazardous to health?
All of these materials are considered safe for humans, but the most appropriate option is a ceramic insulation liquid type.
To distinguish it from other types of liquid insulation is not difficult:
- Insulation is sold as a finished product, packaged in a bucket.
- The consistency of the thermal insulation similar to ordinary paint.
- When dry ceramic composition forms a dense film, which acts as a heater.
The packaging material indicated that the raw material has high adhesion to various types of materials. The composition contains the silicone components, evacuated, ceramic materials and layered polymer.
The principle of conservation of heat: as a working heater?
At warming the surface of the walls of the liquid foam or penoizol working mechanism of heat preservation. To better understand the principle of thermal insulation, are a few nuances:
- low thermal conductivity is provided due to the fact that the material is based only 20% binder;
- filling the holes made in the joints between the bricks, thereby keeping the heat indoors;
- because of the whole casting insulation, creates a monolithic layer, which further prevents the heat out of the house.
The material is not able to live rodents, it does not strike the fungus and mold spores. High speed - another advantage of applying the liquid insulation walls. In addition, this material can reduce heating costs. Affordable price, resistance to moisture and high sound insulation opt for a liquid insulation of walls - decisive.
Basic nuances of self-insulating walls
The process of insulation of walls with his own hands, using this material is better to carry out together with another assistant. Penoizol kneading can be directly on site or purchased foam liquid type in cylinders. If you use liquid ceramic insulation - here the strength to handle for one person.
Independent insulation will cost much cheaper, as the costs go only to the materials and tools you need. The cost of warming the vast homeland varies depending on the complexity of the work and the type of material:
- up to 10 cubic meters of filling the walls of buildings liquid material will cost from 20 000 rubles;
- 10 cubes of value changes, it will amount to 1,500 rubles per cubic meter.
As can be seen from the quotations, can be carried out warming yourself: it will require to choose the right tools and materials, as well as explore the stepwise algorithm.
Preparation tools and materials
Manufacture of material for insulation may be performed on the construction site, it is necessary to buy a special pre-installation. It lays all the necessary components for manufacturing the insulation, air is supplied and carried penoizol or foam formation process.
The cost of such a plant will start from 20 thousand rubles, it can also be rented. If such a move is not beneficial, but for insulation area is small - you can use ready-made insulation in cylinders.
Before you get started, you need to prepare:
- electric hammer;
- drill pobeditovymi tipped;
- wooden pegs appropriate size for temporary plugs of apertures;
- cylinder assembly with a liquid or foam.
Depending on the respective type of coating selected heater. While insulating the exterior walls is better to work with a partner: a man switches on the device, the other - monitors the supply of foam into the hole. When filling the holes therein is inserted a wooden wedge, and with the hose assembly is inserted into another hole.
Incremental algorithm works
Initially, you need to calculate the amount of material. This is done using the formula V (v) = length x height walls wall thickness x of the future layer.
Considering the volume of material, it is possible to calculate the approximate total cost, taking as a basis the price of 70-80 rubles per square heater.
Instructions for self-insulation:
- Thermal insulation of the internal wall. As the walls of the cell are under the finishing of corrugated board or drywall. The surface is thoroughly cleaned of dust. Filling starts from the bottom up. As filling Penoizol begins to harden for 20 minutes.
- Filling exterior wall insulation. First, you need to drill holes in the wall - if it's brickwork, they are drilled in the firmware. Then the tube is inserted into the hose bore size, there is injected material. Prior to injection, it is desirable to check the air holes on the subject of "dead zones".
Wall insulation liquid insulation is considered the most popular procedure insulation exterior and interior surfaces. High quality material, excellent performance and durability play a decisive role in choosing the type of insulation.
