Facade Insulation

Facade insulation

Choosing the right insulation materials for a facade is an important decision when designing a building, since the building's energy efficiency and the comfort of the residents within will depend on this. You can alternatively add insulation for your facades during renovation. The best time to think about thermal insulation of the external walls is when the facade is being renovated or when you are considering replacing your windows. Renovations of facades must improve the insulation of the building without disrupting the life of the residents nor reduce the useful space of the property.

U-Value

The U-Value indicates the thermal quality of material and building components, the lower the U-value the better the thermal insulation property. High-quality insulation makes a house more energy efficient, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter, both factors that not only enhance living quality but also require less energy input. A facade insulation protects the building and helps it keep its market value by allowing itself to become a protective cover.

External insulation

External insulation is the most suitable solution for insulating walls. When applying insulation, you can go for different materials such as polystyrene, mineral wool or polyurethane.

The characteristics that must be met are:

Removal of thermal bridges.
Removal of condensation and moisture leaks.
Not affecting the interior space of the building.
Protecting the structure against thermal shocks.

Exterior Thermal Insulation System consists of the application of an insulating mortar coating to the exterior facade, protected with a mineral mortar. The fixing of the insulation material is done in both an adhesive and a mechanical way.

It is one of the most effective methods for thermally insulating the facade of a building and its cost is repaid over a period of approximately ten years. Other benefits include the fact that it contributes to reduce energy losses by more than 50%.

Polyurethane

Polyurethane systems are one of the best materials in terms of insulation thanks to their excellent thermal behaviour, their versatility, and their efficiency, as well as in terms of value for money. While sprayed polyurethane and sandwich panels are the best choice for insulation from the outside, injected polyurethane is an excellent choice to insulate walls with an air gap.

Buy Ceresit CT 84 polyurethane adhesive

Ceresit CT 84 polyurethane adhesive Ceresit CT 84 polyurethane adhesive is used for fixing expanded polystyrene boards in complex Ceresit Ceretherm systems for insulation of external walls of buildings (ETICS). Ceresit CT 84 is used for fixing foamed polystyrene boards when insulating newly erected buildings as well as those undergoing thermorenovation. After approx. 2 hours since application, foamed polystyrene boards can be sanded, doweled, and then made with a mesh reinforced layer using Ceresit CT 85, CT 87 or ZU mortar. Ceresit CT 84 polyurethane adhesive is also used for fixing materials such as EPS and XPS foam and hard mineral wool to substrates such as: wood, OSB, glass, bitumen, ceramic brick, concrete, coated and galvanized sheet, dry cellular concrete and after exposure to water, gypsum plasterboard and for layered bonding of foamed polystyrene boards and mineral wool under normal and reduced temperatures, also in thermal insulation systems.

How to Reduce Noise Using Underlay

Sound can travel through liquids, solids or gases making it one of the biggest nuisances for every home. Underlay can reduce acoustic noises, underlay reduces sound from travelling from one place to another. Underlay also dramatically improves sound and heat insulation, underlay can help cut your energy bills helping reduce costs and provide comfort to your home, it’s the best investment you can make long term for your home. How Can Underlay Reduce Sound and Loud Noises? There are lots of different materials that can be used for sound reduction, all with their own list of benefits. Some materials that are effective are foam and sponge, used as underlay they can reduce sound waves, you can purchase foam and sponge underlay from us at InsulationBee.co.uk . These materials will protect your flooring above and do a great job at sound reduction. What is Impact Noise Reduction? Impact noise is sound when two surfaces collide, and it is exactly what underlay is designed fo

One of the more common complaints about houses with poor build quality is noise transfer, both from outside sources but in particular between the rooms in the house itself. Poor acoustics is something that could, and should, be considered at the design stage of a project. Sound transmission between homes, is a major problem in the UK which requires serious consideration from both architects and builders. Noise nuisance can be a serious cause of stress, and if not remedied it can affect our health and wellbeing as well as influencing everyday life. What Does Soundproofing Do? To soundproof a home means to lower the intrusion of external noise, while also insulating it so noise cannot escape the space. In many cases acoustic insulation is used to prevent any noise from outside interfering with the residents within. This could be anything from voices, nearby building works or high levels of traffic noise. It also ensures neighbours and outside parties are not disturbed by the
