Qualitatively with insulation loggia or balcony will allow to arrange a comfortable place to relax or work. If you choose too thin a layer of insulation, the room is guaranteed not to get warm. If, on the contrary, to go too far with the thickness, the result of overpayment, but still lose valuable space. To avoid such errors, we have developed a convenient and accurate online calculator. Use of health and do not forget to put huskies :)
Online calculator for calculating the required thickness of a loggia or a balcony
What needs to be taken into account for calculation purposes?
The basic formula for calculating each enclosing structure is as follows:
R = s / λwhere
R- the required thermal resistance m² · K / W;
s - thickness of insulation, m;
λ - thermal conduction coefficient of the material (W / mK).
The first which affects the calculation, it is a region of an apartment house location. SNiPY set normalized value of heat transfer resistance, depending on the design and location of the partition. To determine these values can be on a special map-scheme.
Since the balcony consists of a parapet, walls, floor and ceiling, you need to perform calculations for each of the These types of barriers, not forgetting that the value of the desired value of heat transfer resistance will be different (cm. the color you want).
Also, the calculator asks you to select a heater from a large list of popular materials that have different coefficients of thermal conductivity.
For high accuracy of calculation of the calculator also provides a location into account insulated structure, as well as material and thickness. Do not forget that finishing can also have an impact on the final thickness, so do not neglect it.
The result is a very precise value specifically in your case. A "toying" with the type of insulation, it is possible to choose better option. Good luck!
