Insulation: It is a thermal insulation method applied to the exterior facades of buildings. In this process, the outer surfaces of structures are covered with specialized materials that provide thermal insulation. Insulation can be applied not only to newly constructed buildings but also to existing ones. Insulation materials typically include EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), and mineral wool, among others. These materials are mounted on the building's outer facade, onto which plaster and decorative coating can be applied.
The importance of insulation is evaluated from several perspectives:
Energy Savings: Insulation significantly reduces buildings' heat loss, thereby reducing heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer. Energy savings provide economic advantages and reduce negative environmental impacts.
Comfort: Proper insulation stabilizes indoor temperatures, making living spaces more comfortable regardless of seasonal changes.
Extended Building Lifespan: Insulation protects buildings from external elements, especially by providing moisture and water resistance, which prevents structural damage. This extends the building's lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.
Increased Property Value: Buildings with insulation installed command higher market value. Insulated buildings are preferred by buyers for their energy efficiency benefits and improved aesthetic appearance.
Environmental Sustainability: Reducing energy consumption also decreases the use of fossil fuels and consequently reduces carbon emissions. Insulation contributes to environmental sustainability goals as an eco-friendly application.
How is Insulation Installed?
The insulation process involves several key steps:
Surface Preparation: The surface to be insulated is cleaned and prepared to ensure a smooth base.
Application of Insulation Boards: Selected insulation materials (EPS, XPS, mineral wool, etc.) are adhered to the surface.
Fastening: Insulation boards are secured using mechanical fasteners.
Plaster Application: The first layer of plaster is applied over the boards, followed by a second thin layer with a mesh reinforcement.
Decorative Coating: Finally, a decorative coating or paint is applied for aesthetic and protective purposes.
