What kind of insulation do you spend money on?

High-quality insulation of a residential property, regardless of whether it is a house or an apartment, affects the entire further operation process. Properly selected material, as well as high-quality installation - all this will form microclimate, as well as affect the costs associated with the heating process in the future residence.

Today, the domestic market is oversaturated with various types of insulation. But low cost often encourages buyers to purchase materials such as expanded polystyrene and mineral wool. The latter is distinguished by its tendency to shrink and deform. Expanded polystyrene belongs to the category of fire hazardous substances, as well as emitting toxic chemical vapors during fire.

All these shortcomings, although significant, are nevertheless far from every person considers them, since the cost of such materials is much cheaper than analogues.

A characteristic quality of polystyrene foam and mineral wool is their fragility. The service life of both materials reaches no more than 15 years. After this, the insulation becomes completely unusable and requires replacement.

In order to determine that the money spent was not wasted, just compare expenses for heating and conditioning the room for the first time after repair, and after a few years old. Most likely, few people will be happy with the result.

If with a heater everything is more or less clear, then why sometimes a high-quality material does not give the proper effect? The answer to this question lies in the fact that many people make a number of mistakes in the process of its installation. The most common include:

1. Improper reinforcement;
2. Installation of a grid and protective corners in violation of technology;
3. The use of dowel umbrellas with an iron nail;
4. Processing a mixture of the sides of the insulation;
5. Incorrect material thickness.

It is not uncommon to encounter the fact that in order to save money, cheap and low-quality priming materials, adhesive mixtures and other elements accompanying the warming process are used.

All of these factors will never lead to a qualitative result, but most likely will cause the effort and money spent.
