In the construction of any dwelling, one of the most important stages is the choice and installation of insulation. Today, the construction market is replete with all kinds of insulation types. Some of them will be described below.
Basalt insulation. This type of insulation is a alloy of rocks, or rather basalt and slag. The basalt insulation is used in construction as thermal insulation and soundproofing material. It is also used for external insulation of walls and ventilated facades. The advantages of basalt insulation are its high soundproofing and thermal insulation properties. This material is fire -resistant, it is not subject to the penetration and spread of fungi, moss.
In addition, basalt insulation has high resistance to moisture, and is not subject to deformation. When installing it, several methods can be used, with one of which the corners are perforated to create a metal structure. Sheets of insulation are inserted into this design, like a niche.
Foam. This type of insulation refers to plastics. Foam is characterized by its cellular structure, which consists of the air for most. The scope of foam is quite wide, it is used as a thermal insulation, soundproofing material, as well as as a container or seal. Provided that the foam is treated with special solutions, it becomes non -combustible. This material is also easy to install and is very durable. However, foam attracts rodents. In addition, polystyrene can be destroyed under the influence of different solvents and acids.
