Ways to save on heating.
According to the experience of the Western homeowners, where the tariffing of the service of apartment buildings has higher indicators than ours, there is a real opportunity to save on utilities. Experts calculated that almost half of the energy resources was spent in vain due to ineffective thermal insulation of structures, the irrational use of electric and thermal energy. That is, it turns out that the owner of a typical urban real estate pays for heating more than needed almost twice.
There are several reasons for this:
– Alternatively modern materials (gas block, brick blocks) are everywhere quite ineffective materials were used – silicate brick or reinforced concrete panels.
– the presence of a high level of heat loss.
– Poor quality thermal insulation.
It is typical that when the first cold -heating, the central heating batteries work very poorly, so we take out warm things from the closet and, of course, turn on the heaters to warm our home. Then, along with the advent of winter, cold air appears, which penetrates through the joints of the wall panels and through the window slots … and the amount of the heating account at this time begins to grow exponentially.
Solving the problem of heat leaks by means of window slots can be insulated. This approach makes it possible to reduce energy consumption by fifteen percent. In addition to the sealing of cracks, it will also be useful to install an additional glass that will create an air gap, which acts as a heat insulator. Of course, it is more advisable to install modern plastic windows. To increase the effectiveness of the method, the window between the balcony and the room also needs to be replaced.
To minimize thermal losses through a loggia or balcony, in addition to insulation or replacement of windows, it is necessary to thermal insulation of the floor and walls. The most modern, economically profitable and durable thermal insulation is stone cotton wool. Heater made of this excellent natural material is environmentally friendly, chemically inert, have high resistance to solvents, and also differ in slight weight, which is of particular importance for work on the balcony. The thermal insulation from stone cotton wool is characterized by excellent soundproofing properties, which are achieved due to the fiber of the structure of the source product. You can get acquainted with building materials that provide a high level of thermal insulation in detail on the site – porous brick and ceramic warm blocks.
Another important advantage of thermal insulation from stone wool is fire safety. For example, foamed thermal insulation belongs to normal -power, and in some cases to a strong -powerful group of materials. While the stone cotton wool fibers are able to withstand temperatures almost 1000 ° C, delaying the spread of flame in case of fire.
In a large number of European countries, the cost of design insurance directly depends on the degree of fueling of all finishing materials. And although our insurance companies still do not take into account this factor, ensuring the fire safety of their own housing is an important component of family care.
