In modern times, it is rare what repairs do without carrying out thermal insulation. The issue of energy-saving apartments at a level of prices for utilities costs an edge. About the main types of heaters and their characteristics, we'll talk in this article.
All construction materials for the renovation of apartments must meet special safety standards. To the insulation for the walls from inside the apartment are the following requirements:
- fire safety;
- durability;
- low thermal conductivity;
- absence of deformation;
- ecological compatibility;
- moisture resistance.
Types of insulation and their characteristics
All types of insulation for walls from the inside can be divided into two large groups:
- reflecting - prevent the outgoing infrared radiation;
- preventing - retain heat due to low thermal conductivity of insulating materials.
In most cases, materials of the second type are used, they in turn are divided into organic and inorganic. Of course, it is better to use natural thermal insulation in an apartment.
The organic types of heaters include:
- mineral wool, produced from metallurgical waste and basalt;
- foam polyvinylchloride insulation (PPVH) - is made of polyvinyl chloride resins by porphyring;
- chipboard (particleboard) - is compressed wood waste or trimmed corn and other crops.
- polyurethane foam insulation, consists of polyester, water, emulsifier and diisocyanate;
- arbolitovye insulation - produce from wood waste.
This is not the whole list of organic heaters . Each year their number increases, and the quality improves. The question, what kinds of heaters are, it is best to ask directly before the repair , in order to be aware of all the innovations in the construction industry.
