Cozy house, the basics of thermal insulation

Even at the stage of design or construction of the private, it is better to take care of thermal insulation, so that in the future you are not visited by the problems of dampness and drafts.

The choice of foundations depends on the type of soil, soil composition, freezing depth and other factors. But whatever the type of foundation, in any case, it needs waterproofing and the device of the ventilation system (as if there is a basement and without it). It is better to arrange drainage around the perimeter of the house that diverts ground and rainwater.

The main thermal insulation indicator is the thermal conductivity of the walls, depending on the materials from which they are made. Today, a “sandwich” type has become very popular- multilayer performance of enclosing elements. Whatever the insulation is used, vapor barrier should be arranged on the inner surface of the wall.

When designing, it should be borne in mind that a large number of “broken” surfaces and protruding parts on the facade contribute to the loss of heat. Also, do not get carried away with large windows — this is a great option for warm tropics, but not for our region.

An important heat conservation point is the roof insulation, especially in the presence of an attic. Do not save and do not spare the insulation, losing its inner surface.
