The wide range of construction materials allows to carry out heat-insulating works quickly, simply and cheap today. Polyfoam, penoplex and haydite are considered as the most favorable and quality heaters – so what material it is better to choose for the house?
Polyfoam
The demand of polyfoam is explained by its ease and the attractive price and also convenient laying and excellent sound-absorbing properties. At thermal insulation polyfoam it is previously necessary to clean and dry up the warmed surface, and then to lay obligatory waterproofing film course. The tightness of the turned-out seams will be provided by gluing with adhesive tape. Over film the layer of polyfoam at least ten centimeters thick, and then one more waterproofing course is imposed.
Thanks to film, moisture will not get to heater that will significantly prolong polyfoam life cycle.
After warming by polyfoam over it and layers of waterproofing the metal framework which is filled in together with heater cement slurry keeps within. Thickness of cement screed at the same time should not be more than five centimeters.
Penoplex
Penoplex which is often called extruded polystyrene foam has high strength, resistance to deformation and rotting, water tightness, eco-friendly structure and absence in it toxic substances. Use of penoplex as heater allows to reduce considerably costs of the electric power and to save on acquisition of additional heating devices. At high-quality laying, penoplex is capable to provide ideal heat-insulating indicators. For penoplex laying soil is leveled gravel, carefully stamped and covered with layer of the stamped sand. Then from the reinforced concrete the draft basis which is left for week is created to dry then stack waterproofing course on it, and on it – penoplex. Penoplex is covered with one more layer of waterproofing and filled in with concrete tie.
Haydite
Heater in the form of haydite is the heatpreserving, durable and economical choice which will perfectly keep warmly indoors for many years. To warm it the basis, the ceramsite layer is stacked on the stiffened concrete to which earlier haydite granules have also been added. Then the ready ceramsite layer is carefully stamped and leveled then the design is filled in with liquid solution of cement which will fix insulating layer and will provide coupling of separate granules of haydite. Finally from far corner to door opening everything is filled in with concrete tie.
