a heater to the requirements under the siding for the walls of the house

To the inside of the house was always warm, to a heater imposed certain requirements. Please find indicators that must be selected heat-insulating material.

Insulation used must meet certain requirements
Insulation used must meet certain requirements

The coefficient of thermal conductivity and hygroscopic

Modern insulation materials of different conductors of heat. This characteristic determines the thickness of the formed layer and the mounting technology. In numerical terms, this parameter reflects the thermal conductivity (λ), expressed in W / m × K

Attention! Preferred insulation material with the lowest λ, as it conducts heat less.

Thermal insulation characteristics significantly different
Thermal insulation characteristics significantly different

By hygroscopic insulator also imposed certain requirements. The material should not absorb moisture and accumulate water vapor. Otherwise, the heater density increase and decrease the insulating properties.

Water must not penetrate the insulation material
Water must not penetrate the insulation material

Steam, and the density

To characterize the ability of a material to pass a certain amount of vapor formed (in mm) square through a heater used vapor permeability coefficient per hour. This figure should be the maximum and correspond to the same coefficient of the wall material.

The steam must go outside
The steam must go outside

Attention! A low value of water vapor permeability coefficient broken natural ventilation, will damp inside.

Due to the porous structure of density insulating materials are usually small. Some manufacturers fill the pores with special compounds to thermal insulation characteristics without loss of insulation density and increase its strength.

The same heater may have a different density

Fire resistance and environmental friendliness

High-quality insulation under the influence open flameShould not be ignited. In this case, it will facilitate the suppression of fire, will not contribute to its spread. Its same insulator has ignited, the combustion process must not emit toxic fumes.

Fire resistance - an important parameter

In the process of production of thermal insulating materials commonly used substances that can be harmful to human health. It is important, whether these substances are allocated in operation.

Characteristics of insulation under the siding for the facade, depending on the type of

The market is a wide range of insulation to the facade by siding. Each of them has its own distinctive features, which you can see below.

Thermal insulation materials are available in a large range
Thermal insulation materials are available in a large range

stone wool

Insulation, received quite a large spread. Such material has:

  • a density from 25 kg / m³ - the lightweight boards and up to 225 kg / m³ - the rigid;
  • the thermal conductivity of 0,035-0,041 W / m × K;
  • water vapor permeability of 0.5 mg / m × h × Pa.
Stone wool - enough popular material
Stone wool - enough popular material

Stone wool is chemically inert. It does not get wet and retains the properties when exposed to moisture and durability. According to the producers estimated its service life can reach 70 years.

When mounting material should be protected from exposure to precipitation
When mounting material should be protected from exposure to precipitation

Attention! During the operation can not be allowed to accumulate moisture between the fibers of the material: it will lose its properties.

All items must fit tightly to each other

fiberglass

The cheapest form of cotton, with the following advantages:

  • thermal conductivity up to 0.041 W / m × K;
  • density 25 kg / m³;
  • retains properties at -60 ° C;
  • It does not absorb water;
  • does not burn;
  • chemically inert.

The disadvantage is a certain danger to human health because of the risk of inhalation of glass dust. Also in the production process used phenol formaldehyde resin, which includes hazardous substances.

Attention! Despite the high performance characteristics of glass, it is worth considering the risks associated with the health of people living in the house.

Installation should be done with extreme caution

«If you do not want to purchase a separate insulation and lining material, pay attention to the metal siding with insulation made of polyurethane foam. "

Ecowool

Ekovaty used for manufacturing cellulose fibers, bonded to each other by means of lignin. Additionally, a heater is introduced as an antiseptic, boric acid, and flame retardants are also added.

loose material
loose material

Apply the composition, which is a loose mass, "wet", or dry adhesive. Using ecowool as insulation under the metal siding, you should choose the first option. In this case, the heat insulator is mixed with some water, and then applied to the surface to form a dense protective layer. The "wet" method allows you to get the coverage, not shrink.

Formation of a continuous layer
Formation of a continuous layer

Styrofoam

This insulation has low hygroscopicity. Do not miss the air, which can cause accumulation of condensation on the walls. It provides sufficient windscreen base. The advantages include:

  • availability;
  • low thermal conductivity (0.038 W / m × K);
  • Easy installation;
  • light weight, which facilitates transportation and attachment of the sheets.
foam sheets are lightweight
foam sheets are lightweight

The disadvantage is:

  • low rates sound absorption;
  • high risk of damaging the sheets during transport and installation;
  • combustibility;
  • selection toxic fumes during combustion;
  • lack of biological inertness.

Installation is straightforward

Penoplex

extruded polystyreneSold under the trademark, it holds a leading position in the market due to high quality of production and optimum specifications. It is used for roof insulation, Walls, ceiling and gender. Wall insulation Penoplex outside with siding sheathing has advantages, as active material:

  • hydrophobic;
  • little weight;
  • It has sufficient strength;
  • universal. It can be used for thermal insulation of various surfaces, both old and new buildings;
  • allows the installation of siding on penoplex in all weather conditions;
  • environmentally friendly;
  • biologically inert;
  • It has a long service life;
  • easy to assemble.
The heat insulator of consistently high quality
The heat insulator of consistently high quality

Among the shortcomings should be noted:

  • combustibility. The composition of some grades are entered retardants, making the material self-extinguishing. However, during the combustion heater is allocated toxic black smoke;
  • destruction upon contact with the solvent;
  • low water vapor transmission rate;
  • plates deformation or damage to the top layer under the influence of UV;
  • low adhesion characteristics.

What is insulation under the siding better options for a variety of grounds

Planning to perform thermal insulation of walls, it is difficult to determine what kind of insulation under the siding better. It all depends on what kind of material was used for the construction of walls. We offer this to understand in more detail.

For insulation under the siding of wooden houses: the best option

A distinctive feature wood It is the high hygroscopicity. Processing of special structures to reduce this figure, however, it still remains relatively high. To eliminate the negative effects of moisture on the wall material, insulation of a wooden house under the siding should be performed by a heat insulator with good water vapor permeability. Mount it should be in such a way as to allow a small gap, providing adequate ventilation. As a heater for a wooden house outside under the siding is best to use mineral wool, having sufficient vapor barrier. The use of foam should be abandoned, as it does not let steam and moisture.

For thermal insulation of a brick house outside under the siding: affordable solutions

Thermal insulation of a brick house outside under the siding is most often performed using basalt wool. However it is possible to use polyurethane foam and extruded polystyrene. By the latest version necessary to resort to the most extreme case, and carefully follow the installation technology.

The optimal variant of warming

We offer watch a video about how to choose a heater under the siding to brick house.

House of foam blocks and aerated concrete

high vapor permeability block walls high requirements to the used insulation. The preferred option is mineral wool, which is due to the performance level will help to ensure sufficient air exchange between the street and the interior of the house. Perhaps spraying polyurethane foam. From polystyrene foam and should be abandoned. Using this heater can provoke the appearance of damp and mildew in the living room.
