Insulation of a house with facade thermal panels

Energy efficiency of the house is an important aspect for those who will live in the premises. Maintaining heat and comfort in the building is not so difficult - if you approach this issue correctly at the construction stage. Today, manufacturers offer a variety of materials to solve thermal insulation problems. The list of the most practical ones includes facade thermal panels, which are available in several varieties.

What are the advantages of insulating a house with facade thermal panels?

This type of material is a successful tandem in the form of insulation and finishing 2 in 1. In addition, it also provides a facade ventilation option. They are supplied in the format of a modular design with specific dimensions. Thermal panels are installed by fixing them to the wall, providing for the connection of modules with specialized locks. Such a facade system provides the characteristics declared by the manufacturer, suggesting the following list of advantages:

low facade weight, allowing to reduce the load on the base and load-bearing walls;
removal of the "dew point" from the basic structure due to the installation of part of the insulation outside the load-bearing wall;
facade panels with insulation help to reduce the thickness of the walls.
Such thermal insulation of walls provides resistance to external influences, compressive strength and can last for several decades.

Insulation of walls with thermal panels: main types of material

In total, there are several types of materials for exterior finishing of a house:

• Foam plastic. They are based on polystyrene foam, which has good thermal insulation. They are easy to process and install, and provide significant savings on heating.
• Mineral wool. They are fireproof and have excellent moisture resistance. They also provide excellent sound insulation of the curtain wall, providing a long service life.
• Polyurethane foam. The properties of the base raw material polyurethane foam (PUF) make it possible to obtain excellent density and quality indicators with minimal panel thickness and good thermal insulation.
• The most popular for exterior work are two-layer and three-layer decorative panels. The first option is used mainly for processing flat surfaces. They consist of extruded polystyrene foam and decorative elements glued to it, providing protection from cold and moisture. They mainly provide installation without a frame.

The three-layer format consists of an OSB panel, a polyurethane foam layer, along the perimeter of which there are locks to prevent cold bridges.

Both of these options provide for installation without wet processes. The second point they have in common is the presence of a finishing coating in the form of acrylic elements or clinker. At the same time, thermal panels with clinker tiles look very stylish and modern.

What are the features of insulating a house with facade thermal panels in Kyiv?

Such thermal insulation materials are especially in demand when it is necessary to use the structure for a long time. In this case, there is no need to calculate the layer thickness, the amount of raw materials used, strength and thermal conductivity indicators. A panel prepared for installation provides long-term insulation, allowing you to avoid errors during installation work.

The choice of material is carried out taking into account the dimensional characteristics. In addition to the main panels, corner components and additional elements are purchased immediately. If necessary, the blocks can be cut, adjusting the structure to the desired format.

Such products involve turnkey installation of the facade, since they provide everything necessary for this. Environmentally, such products are neutral, allowing for the potential for installation even indoors in specific situations.
