Thermal insulation of premises intended forhousing, is the main task in the construction and major repairs of buildings. This problem is especially acute in areas where diurnal temperature changes are quite noticeable.
To date, in the construction markets, you canIt is easy to find a lot of materials, the main task of which is the insulation of the premises. Among a wide variety of insulation, the most popular is mineral wool. Its wide distribution became possible due to the relatively low price and good performance of the declared qualities. As a heater mineral wool is an indispensable option in its price category. It is this criterion that is decisive when choosing the material for maintaining a comfortable temperature in the room.
Mineral wool, the characteristics of which are directlydepend on its components, has three main types. Their classification is carried out by types of raw materials. The slag wool was recognized as the least effective in various tests.
Its heat-carrying and heat-conducting qualities areat the level of standard values. Mineral wool, produced from blast furnace slag, is ideal for warming the inner sides of walls in a room. For facades it is better to use another type of insulation, as the ability to absorb moisture from cotton wool is very high. Also, do not use it to insulate pipes.
Slightly better properties and characteristicshas such a mineral wool as glass wool. The main raw material for its production was cullet. It is during its heat treatment that glass fibers are formed, which ensure the preservation of heat.
Glass wool is a wonderful insulation, buthere the process of its introduction into the walls is quite problematic. The fact is that with the slightest fluctuation of the fiberglass cloth these fibers begin to break down. Getting into the air, they can create a lot of inconvenience, from skin itching and ending with a strong irritation of the mucosa. Thinking about the insulation of the room glass wool, you need to prepare in advance. First, it is necessary to acquire such means of protection as glasses and respirators. Secondly, it is best to use such a set of work clothes when installing, from which it will not be a pity to get rid of at the end of work. Well, thirdly, try to ensure that at the time of construction activities, even in neighboring rooms there were no children and patients with asthma.
Well, the last kind of insulation, belonging to the group "Mineral wool" - stone wool.
Compared to previous competitors, ithas a lot of advantages. It has the highest rates for parameters such as the limiting temperature, heat capacity, sintering temperature and chemical stability in various media. In addition, it does not cause any inconvenience during installation. Also, the positive properties of stone wool can be attributed to its structure. It is thanks to its porous structure that cotton wool passes steam through itself, rather than accumulates it. This ability ensures the long-term preservation of all qualities.
Each type of mineral wool is good in its own way, but there is one quality that is inherent in all its varieties - soundproofing. Thanks to this factor, the expression "the walls have ears" loses all meaning.
