The socle connects the upper and lower part of the building. High-quality thermal insulation eliminates cold bridges in the lower part of the building, improves its microclimate.
What is better - the insulation of the cap outside or inside?
Insulate the basement of the house inside or outside - it's up to you. Most often, they choose the outer version. Thermotechnical calculation will tell you which option is more rational. In both cases, due to thermal insulation, the microclimate of the room improves, the foundation part is better protected from water, condensation and the destruction of concrete or brickwork are prevented. External isolation of the cap not only prolongs the use of building materials, protects from atmospheric influences, but also improves the aesthetic appearance of the building.
Warming of the basement with different materials
The choice of material depends on many indicators: the functional of the basement, the thickness and "composition" of walls, climatic zone.
Warming of the base with expanded polystyrene extruded will protect it from moisture, strength is high, the thermal conductivity of the material is low. It is worth noting the good frost resistance, the service life of about 50 years. Styrofoam is mounted with the help of glue on polyurethane basis or bitumen mastic. Pre-installed waterproofing layer. Particular attention is paid to joints, overlap when laying layers of insulation will prevent the appearance of bridges of cold.
Warming of the socle with penokleksom is considered to be an order of magnitude better than its "colleagues". The material is a kind of expanded polystyrene plates, it is used for exterior decoration. There is little climate impact, moisture repels well. The indexes for thermal insulation are 45% higher than those of the mineral wool base. For fastening use polymeric glues on the primed surface. In addition to the adhesive, dowel umbrellas with wide hats are desirable.
Warming of the plinth from the inside can be foam plastic. This option is often used for outdoor work. This insulation is the cheapest, performance is not too high. The colder the region, the thicker the finish. "Sit down" plates on a special glue and dowels-umbrellas. Only 75% of the surface can be coated with a mixture. Stitching is mandatory. Next is a layer of glass fiber, soil. The field of thermal insulation of the plinth with polystyrene allows the application of textured plaster, tiling, artificial or natural stone. For even better insulation of the lower part of the building, experts recommend warming and blind.
