HOW SHOULD PREFABRICATED HOUSES BE INSULATED? WHAT ARE THE INSULATION TYPES?

Insulation is a very important process for the areas we live in and provides ease of life for us. By preventing the flow of heat going in and out, it reduces the costs of air conditioning such as heating and cooling to a minimum, as well as reducing costs, it also provides sound insulation and prevents you from being affected by situations such as sound pollution.

What is insulation?

Insulation is a process that is applied to your living area, work area or many other places in order to minimize heat loss and sound flow through reflection and absorption method. If there are small cracks and areas that need to be filled in your structure, it is a process that is done by closing them with some kind of material, even in areas that are difficult to reach.

How does insulation work?

Due to its nature, heat flows from the hot area to the cold area. Therefore, if you do not have insulation in your building during the winter months, there will be a heat flow from the inside to the outside, and in the summer months from the outside to the inside, and this will affect your living conditions badly. While it pays for overheating in winter, it can create air conditioning costs in summer. Insulation functions to slow the transfer of this heat from the hot area to the cold area. It slows down the flow of hot air entering the space in summer and hot air coming out in winter.

What is thermal insulation?

There are several types of insulation, including thermal insulation. The insulation that offers you a more comfortable life while reducing your expenses is thermal insulation. By slowing the entry and exit of hot air into your space, it helps to prevent your house or any place you have insulated from being cold in winter and very hot in summer. Although the sound insulation event is different, only in the heat insulation process, it is sound insulation due to the materials it contains, albeit a little.

What is sound insulation?

The sound insulation provided by the foam applied on the inner or outer wall of your building helps to increase your quality of life. Since sound travels faster in a dense environment, it travels slowly in the inter-foam spaces only due to the presence of air. Depending on the noise around you, you decide the thickness of the material to be made. If you live in a very noisy environment and are uncomfortable, we recommend choosing a thick foam.

So, which insulation material do we use in prefabricated houses?

We use either rock wool or eps styrofoam with a density of 16 dns in prefabricated houses.
