The cost of energy is increasing annually. For this reason, a large number of owners of houses are thinking about reducing their consumption. This can be done using a procedure such as the arrangement of thermal insulation. Materials that can be used for this, a lot. Foam – one of them.
We can say that this insulation today is already considered morally outdated. But even this fact does not affect its characteristics negatively. Moreover, the cost of acquiring polystyrene is small. It has a light weight, so it is very simple to carry out its installation. And this does not need a lot of time.
Usually the foam is fixed on the outer side of the walls. Before starting this procedure, the surface must be covered with a primer. Then the walls are treated with glue on such an area that will be enough to fix the sheet of insulation. After that, the foam is pressed against the wall.
Sheets of thermal insulation material should be located so that long seams do not form. All gaps of more than 1 cm must be filled with mounting foam. To get a stronger mount, you should grab the foam in the corners using dowels, which should enter the wall 4 cm or more.
