Insulations

Thermal insulation is an important component in modern construction, which not only improves the comfort of living, but also reduces energy costs and the carbon footprint of buildings. At SIKO you will find a huge variety of thermal insulation from well-known manufacturers at affordable prices.

What are thermal insulations?

Thermal insulation is a material or system that limits the transfer of heat between the interior and exterior of a building. It acts as a barrier against cold in winter and heat in summer, ensuring a more stable and comfortable indoor temperature.

Application

The application of thermal insulation in construction is extremely diverse and plays a key role in optimizing the energy efficiency of buildings. Insulation materials can be integrated into almost all aspects of the construction process, thus significantly improving thermal comfort and reducing energy costs for heating and cooling.

Roofs

Roof insulation is particularly important as they are exposed to direct sunlight in the summer and can be a significant source of heat loss in the winter. Properly insulated roofs can reduce this heat loss.

Walls

External wall insulation is critical for preventing thermal bridges - areas of the building envelope that have significantly higher thermal conductivity than surrounding materials, leading to heat loss.

Floors

Floor insulation is especially important in buildings with unheated spaces below, such as basements or garages. Floor insulation helps reduce the amount of cold air that can penetrate from below, thus providing a warmer and more comfortable floor and reducing the overall heat loss of the building.

The selection of an appropriate thermal insulation material and its proper application are key to optimizing the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings.

Types

There are different types of thermal insulation materials, each with its own advantages and uses. Some of the most popular include the following types.

Polystyrene

Polystyrene is one of the most common insulation materials, thanks to its lightness, efficiency and economy. There are two main types of polystyrene - expanded (EPS) and extruded (XPS).

EPS is lightweight and porous, while XPS is denser and has higher moisture resistance. Polystyrene is ideal for insulating exterior walls and roofs due to its ability to withstand moisture and offer stable thermal insulation protection over time.

Mineral wool

Mineral wool, which can be both glass and stone, is known for its excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties. It is particularly suitable for insulating interior partitions and interfloor structures, where the combination of thermal and acoustic insulation properties can significantly improve the comfort and energy efficiency of buildings.

Polyurethane foam

Polyurethane foam is an extremely effective insulation material with high thermal insulation properties and a small thickness. It is ideal for applications where space is limited but a high degree of thermal insulation is required.

Polyurethane foam is moisture-resistant and can be applied by spraying, making it ideal for insulating roofs, hard-to-reach areas, and complex geometries.

How do I choose a suitable thermal insulation model?

To make an informed choice, it is necessary to consider a number of important aspects.

Climatic conditions

Climate is a major factor in choosing insulation materials. In areas with cold winters, it is important to choose materials with high thermal insulation properties to keep heat in. In warmer climates, the focus may be on reflecting sunlight and preventing excessive heating.

Building type and structure

The architecture and structure of the building also play an important role in the choice of thermal insulation materials. For example, buildings with many architectural details and irregularities may need flexible insulation materials that can easily adapt to complex shapes.

Specific insulation needs

Different parts of a building may have different insulation requirements. Floors, walls, roofs and ceilings may require different types of insulation materials depending on their characteristics.

Budget

Budget is an important aspect of any construction project, and the choice of thermal insulation materials is no exception. It is important to find a balance between the quality and cost of materials, while not compromising on energy efficiency and long-term durability.
