The rise in the cost of utilities and heat energy makes today more and more often think about ways to protect buildings from heat loss. And this is no coincidence, because in this way you can significantly reduce heating costs. Moreover, thermal insulation works performed using modern technologies make it possible to increase the resistance of building objects to heat transfer by more than 3 times! That is why, when building new buildings and reconstructing old ones, special attention is paid to their thermal insulation.
A single-layer enclosure constructed using traditional building materials (wood, reinforced concrete or brick) will not provide the desired thermal insulation effect. Thermal resistance can be appreciably increased only by using multi-layer enclosing structures using an effective heat-insulating material as one of the layers.
The systems of facade thermal insulation used today, for example, facade butts , allow achieving the best results in solving such problems. The systems of the "wet" type, in which a thin-layer decorative plaster coating is used, have proved to be especially effective. The advantages of such systems can hardly be overestimated, because as a result of their use:
heating costs are reduced by up to 60%;
they make it possible to widely use lightweight enclosing structures, since they significantly increase their heat resistance;
ensure the timely removal of moisture that accumulates inside the thermal insulation system itself;
protect against the formation of mold and mildew on the inner surface of the walls of the building;
reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations on load-bearing walls and thereby extend their service life;
increase the sound insulation of external walls.
But their main advantage is the ability to use them both in newly built and reconstructed buildings and structures.
However, they have some limitations in their application. The fact is that the technological cycle for performing such work contains wet processes that require a certain temperature regime. They need to be performed only in the warm season, when the air temperature does not drop below + 5 ° C.
If you use thermal curtains, then some work can be performed in winter: dowel, glue insulation, reinforce the surface. But the final finishing should still be done in warm weather.
