Insulation gaskets
Introduction
A selection of insulation materials can help insulate buildings. All of these are based on the principles of thermal insulation.
Materials used to reduce heat transfer by conduction, radiation or convection are used in various combinations to achieve the desired results (usually hygrothermal comfort with reduced energy consumption).
Choice of insulating materials
The choice and degree of insulation is based on a number of factors:
Typically, a combination of materials are necessary to achieve an optimal solution for a building over a range of climatic conditions. There are also some products that combine different types of insulation in a single product. It is a great idea.
Commercial systems used for insulation
Contenido
El aislamiento puede ser instalado en una serie de formas:.
Structural
Board insulation is the most common at the moment, although it can generally allow for more heat transfer than other options. There are other options that work better for sealing wall cavities completely. The plates can reduce heat loss through walls, beams and others due to thermal bridges due to conduction.
Rigid panels
Panel de aislamiento rígido se fabrica a partir de materiales fibrosos (fibra de vidrio, roca y lana de escoria")) o de plástico espuma. Algunas veces son vendidos en las secciones diseñados para encajar perfectamente en este tipo de cavidades de pared. Cuando se vende de esta manera, se les llama "batts", y vienen en diferentes grosores para que coincida con la profundidad de la pared de caries, por ejemplo, aprox. 5 ½ pulgadas a la altura de 2 x 6 pared cavidad.
Cuando paneles rígidos son más utilizadas:.
Importante # 1: Si aislar las bases con paneles rígidos, pero que dejen de utilizar paneles rígidos, donde el revestimiento se inicia, entonces usted debe instalar entre la parte destellante en la parte inferior curso de revestimiento y el borde superior de los paneles rígidos, para evitar que el agua de filtrarse detrás de los paneles.
