During the mass construction of residential buildings (50-60 years of the last century), the main goal was to build a house faster, and few people wondered about the insulation of the room. That is why everything is in the same "Stalinki", despite the insulation of the apartment from the inside, in the strengths of the indoors in the room decreases. With the development of modern construction, new building materials, including insulation for walls, have become available. A worthy place among them is the material of the new generation - a liquid insulation for walls.

Brief overview of insulation for walls

Even in the nineties and the beginning of the two thousand and popular types of thermal insulation of buildings were Minvat, glass gamble and other materials, including cellulose. Each of these materials is well holding heat, but also has a number of disadvantages: if the room was insulated from the inside, then the size of the mineral or cellulose insulation was taken part of the useful area. In addition, the material quickly dismissed and crumbled, so often in the thermal insulation of the building, the bars were found that it was necessary to fill out a new insulation. Even despite these shortcomings, similar materials for the insulation of the walls of the buildings are still popular due to low cost. Gradually, they are displaced by other, modern and ergonomic insulation, such as a liquid insulation for walls.

What is liquid insulation

The building materials market offers buyers a large selection of various insulation. The liquid insulation is used for the insulation of the walls outside the building. As a result of treatment with liquid, a natural heat exchange is settled in the room - this means that the building will not cool in the winter, and in the summer it will not be warm. In addition, according to numerous reviews of specialists, the liquid insulation protects the building from the occurrence of mold, prevents ingestion of moisture, prevents condensate on the windows and at the corners of the rooms. Also, thanks to the processing of the outer wall of the construction of the liquid insulation, the cost of heating the premises is reduced.

The liquid insulation for the walls will reduce the cost of coolants and raise the temperature for two or four degrees.

The insulation is a liquid paint, called "Teplokra". The basis is the acrylic components in which the microspheres (silicone or ceramic) are contained. The percentage ratio of microparticles (microspheres) in high-quality insulation is about eighty percent. It is thanks to these microspheres and an air layer is created, which provides thermal insulation effect. In addition, special additives (clamps and catalysts) provide a uniform distribution of material on the surface, as well as good grip and durability. The composition of the liquid insulation may include various additives that prevent corrosion of metal and preventing the occurrence of mold.

What are the advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of insulation are:

1. The ability to apply on any surface.
2. There are no construction waste, which you can not say about mineral and glass.
3. Low thermal conductivity.
4. Resistance to temperature drops and mechanical damage.
5. Refractory.

Due to the insulation of the insulation, the microspheres, a layer of thermal insulation (one millimeter thickness) on thermal properties is equal to a five-seven centimeter layer of any block insulation (minvati, foam or glass gambled).

Among the minuses of the liquid insulation, you can note the following:

• the material is very sensitive to the terms of transportation and storage;
• the shelf life of the liquid insulation is very small;
• manufacturers do not guarantee thermal conductivity, in addition, there are no reasonable methods for calculating the amount of stored heat;
• to perform high-quality insulation of walls, you must apply ten-twelve layers, and the consumption of material will be an order of magnitude higher than indicated in the instructions.

Popular types of liquid insulation

Popular types of liquid insulation:

• ceramic;
• foamizole;
• liquid foam.

Each material individually has its advantages and disadvantages, but in general they are combined simplicity of application. To insulate the building to one hundred square meters, it is necessary to allocate only one working day. And from the tools you need to get a single ordinary painting brush.

Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare the surface - to clear the wall from dust, and if there is a need, then sharpen the surface. In this case, the heat will be reduced by twenty-five to thirty percent. In addition, the application of the liquid insulation will not significantly affect the appearance of the building.

Ceramic insulation

According to the structure, the suspension of dairy color resembles a suspension. The liquid insulation can be applied on any surface: walls and partitions of brick, wood, concrete, can also be applied to metal, cardboard and plastic surfaces in order to give them stiffness, as well as to protect against mechanical damage.

An essential advantage is safety for health, so the insulation can be applied to the inner surfaces (right on the wallpaper, plaster or paint). Also, the ceramic insulation does not ignore, does not let moisture and air.

You can find two types of ceramic liquid insulation - on aquatic and lacquer-based basis. If it is planned to work in the warm season - to process walls, partitions for the purpose of insulation, then the air temperature should be not lower than seven degrees. In winter, it is better to handle the walls with a heat-based insulation.

Buy liquid insulation can be both in specialized stores and in building supermarkets. Use the material is simple: it is enough to open the packaging (sold in small plastic containers) and mix the contents thoroughly. The suspension should be homogeneous, since during storage water and other components are resolve and form a thin film on the surface. Mix the suspension can be wooden or plastic wand.

In order to work on the surface, the film did not appear, also periodically it is necessary to mix the liquid insulation every ten minutes.

Before applying the material, it is necessary to prepare the wall - it must be cleaned from pollution, rust, ocalan and dust. In addition, the metal surface should be deguted.

For the convenience of the distribution of the insulation along the surface of the wall, you can use the roller from the foam rubber if it is planned to be covered with a large surface, or a brush to cover a small surface.

To achieve the maximum thermal insulation effect, it should be covered with a liquid insulation of the wall in several layers (layer thickness - half a million). Each new layer should be applied with an interval of twenty-four hours or more, provided that the previous layer is well reduced.

Liquid foamizol

The popular view of the liquid insulation, according to the characteristics and insulating properties greater than the indicators of mineral wool and polystyolster.

The base of the liquid insulation is the foamed resin (carbomide), this type of material is used for the insulation of single-storey buildings. A liquid insulation is produced in cylinders.

The cost of liquid foamizol is slightly lower than the price of a ceramic insulation, so the demand for this building material is always high.

Penosaol on the construction market appeared in the thirties of the last century in Germany. The process of manufacturing insulation was long and expensive, but over time, thanks to modern technologies, manufacturers managed to establish production and reach a new level. Therefore, it is currently to make foamizol right on construction sites.

Most often, the liquid insulation is used to fill the space between the walls (airbag), but can be placed on a sheer wall, and specialists can apply a thick layer of material.

Among the advantages of foamizol, refractory, durability and endurance can be distinguished. Manufacturers provide a guarantee for this type of insulation - fifty years.

Working with this type of insulation is very simple. First, the surface is prepared (inspired from dust and debris), and then filling with the material (foam) under pressure. After performing work, the wall should be carefully dried.

Areas of use of foamizol:

1. Filling the space between the inner and outer wall.
2. Filling holes and seams between buildings (blocks).

When working with a liquid insulation, it is necessary to remember that foamizol is very tech, so it is capable of penetrating even in the most hard-to-reach places, which will protect small slots from external influences formed in the walls of buildings.

Styrofoam

The most common and demanded liquid insulation. Most often you can hear such a building term as a fuzzy foam.

Its main advantages are:

• strength;
• environmental friendliness;
• the ability to fill even the most hard-to-reach places;
• high insulating properties;
• lack of smell, which allows the insulation of the insulation both outside and inside the building.

The uniqueness of the liquid foam is that it can be used to insulate the walls of multi-storey houses, as it is possible to prepare the insulation directly on the construction site - immediately fill in profiles and wait until it grabs.

Liquid foam is not exposed to fungus, mold. This "breathable" porous insulation can be used at any temperature. The service life is more than sixty years.

Most manufacturers are positioning foam and foaming as the same liquid insulation, but it is not. Both materials are distinguished not only by production technology, but also the application area. Liquid insulation foamizol has a high price, compared with the cost of liquid foam.

Liquid insulation corundum

When it is necessary to insulate the walls with a liquid insulation, you can use the top-bottom thermal insulation of the company Corundum. This material is ideal for the insulation of wooden and brick walls outside and inside buildings.

The insulation of a thin layer (one millimeter) is applied as the usual facade paint. After that, on top on the wall, you can apply any decorative facade coating.

Corund cover protects the walls inside the building from freezing, the formation of mold and condensate. After applying the thin layer of the insulation, you can glue the wallpaper or paint wall wallpaper.

The main advantage of the insulation is resistance to ignition. The coating will begin charring only at temperatures above two hundred and sixty degrees, and at a temperature of eight hundred degrees - the insulation of corundum will begin to decelerate and slow down the spread of fire.
