Foil insulation for walls - a modern high-tech and safe material, which is used to insulate both residential and industrial premises. Thanks to the aluminum foil covering, such a heater keeps a large amount of heat and even a thin layer of it can create a good thermal insulation of the room.
Types of foil insulation
Foil insulation is used for insulation of walls inside and for external surfaces. In addition, it can be used for individual sections of walls where the greatest heat conservation is required. So, for example, such heaters are very popular for work on thermal insulation of baths. There are several types of foil insulation that are recommended for use in different parts of the house, for the insulation of different surfaces.
Foamed polyethylene with a foil coating is most often recommended for finishing interior walls of a room. It can also be used for thermal insulation of roofs, floors, various separate building systems, for example, ventilation. This type of foil insulation is especially suitable for insulating walls from the inside, because it has a small thickness, that is, it will not take up too much space and, accordingly, reduce the size of the room. Produced in the form of rolls, which can additionally be supplied with an adhesive layer, which simplifies the work with a heater and allows it to work even on walls with complex geometries.
Foamed polystyrene is used in the decoration of walls not so often, as it has a large thickness. It is often used for warming floors in the room.
Warming of the wall with foil insulation can also be carried out using materials based on mineral wool. It is absolutely safe and non-flammable, and also provides reliable heat and noise insulation, which makes it very much in demand for warming walls in apartment houses and apartments. Can be sold in the form of plates, rolls or cylinders.
Finally, the last type of foil insulation is basalt foil insulation. It is absolutely non-combustible and able to withstand the impact of even an aggressive external environment. Therefore, this material as a heater is used even in the aircraft industry and industry, but can be successfully applied and in the housing construction to insulate the walls of the house from the inside or outside.
Work with foil insulation
When choosing a foil insulation, make sure that its reflective layer consists precisely of a foil, that is a solid film. It is this option that can keep up to 97% of the heat inside the room. If the surface is simply applied with a brilliant coating, then, most likely,
Work with foil insulation on a carefully prepared surface. Walls must first be cleaned of traces of old cover, dirt, dust and other disturbing objects. Then you must necessarily treat the walls with antiseptic and that they could not develop mold and various harmful fungi and bacteria in the future. After the antiseptic compound is thoroughly dried, it is possible to glue a heater of the kind you have chosen. Next, a lath is built on top of it, onto which the material selected for the finishing of the walls, for example, plasterboard sheets, will then be fastened.
