     The most common types of insulation:



From building your own home, inevitably have to think about choosing the most appropriate and practical, but not very expensive material for insulation. Try to describe the most common types currently insulation for walls, consider the pros and cons to determine the best from the range that is presented in today's construction market

Mineral wool

Known since the Soviet era, this popular material has excellent thermal insulation properties and is relatively cheap. Note Mineral wool does not tolerate moisture, absorbs moisture and thus loses its positive properties. To protect the material from water, there is a need for additional waterproofing layer which leads to greater costs and more expensive project. Another no less important disadvantage of this heater is its low environmental friendliness. After all the components included in the mineral wool is quite toxic.

Foam

This insulation is also widespread, as well as mineral wool, its main advantage is the ease and excellent thermal insulation. The disadvantages of foam can be attributed to brittle mechanical influences, and are not resistant to sunlight. In addition, this material, as well as mineral wool absorbs moisture, and therefore also require additional waterproofing layer device. On top of this insulation is combustible, because what is not recommended for thermal insulation of wooden buildings.

Extruded styrofoam

In the manufacture of insulation used the same raw materials as for the foam, but using other technologies. With the latest technology it has increased performance, extruded polystyrene humidity resistant. Due to this, there is no need in the waterproofing layer, but the material does not let couples. Extruded polystyrene foam, as foam is flammable, it requires protection from UV rays. In areas where it is used, it is necessary to organize good ventilation system.

Polyurethane

Compared to sprochimi insulating materials, polyurethane has a weight dostoinstv- it is lightweight, very low thermal conductivity, ease of application by spraying. This insulation is completely harmless, is not afraid of moisture, is not affected by extreme temperatures, mechanical damage. It adheres well to any surface, with the installation does not require fastening. For all its advantages polyurethane foam is cheaper than mineral wool and will serve us to fifty years
