Common Mistakes in Building Insulation
Building insulation is a fundamental way to increase energy efficiency, improve indoor comfort and ensure structural durability. When applied correctly, insulation can bring many benefits to you and your home. However, some common mistakes can also be made in the insulation process. These errors can lead to a lack of expected performance and even some unintended consequences. In this blog post, we will take a look at the mistakes made in building insulation and how you can avoid these mistakes with innovative products such as Izolteks NG200.
Inadequate Use of Insulating Material
Failure to apply the insulation material thick and dense enough leads to heat loss and a decrease in energy efficiency. To avoid this mistake, it is important that you choose the insulation material suitable for the climate of your area and the characteristics of your building and apply it at the right thickness. High-performance construction membranes such as Izolteks NG200 provide high insulation value even at less thickness, thus overcoming such problems and saving energy.
Neglect of Humidity Control
Moisture can often adversely affect the performance of insulation materials. Damp insulation materials lose their thermal insulation values and properties, leading to mold and fungus formation in insulation over time. Izolteks NG200 helps moisture control and vapor permeability control by allowing the insulation layers to breathe thanks to its vapor balancing feature. In this way, the life of the insulation is prolonged and the risk of mold growth is eliminated.
Ignoring Airtightness
Air tightness is critical to the effectiveness of insulation. Air leaks may occur in these areas if the insulation materials are placed correctly or if gaps are left. Such an installation error also reduces energy efficiency. Izolteks NG200 prevents this problem by creating an excellent airtight barrier between and around the insulation layers. Energy savings are always achieved while minimizing heat loss.
Use of Uniform Insulation Material
Different materials may be required for different insulation needs. In ventilated facade systems, the insulation materials used with the Izolteks NG200 building cladding membrane maintain the durability and quality of the insulation and eliminate the structural disadvantages of wool.
Incorrect Application and Assembly
Insulation installation is an important issue that requires material knowledge, technical knowledge, technical skills and professionalism in general. A correct application as well as the accuracy and robustness of the material have a direct impact on building fire safety. Technically advanced products need to be applied by trained and experienced professionals. Izolteks NG200 has an expert technical team to help you with the application. In this way, you can be sure that the insulation will be applied correctly and will provide maximum performance.
In general, a building insulation is an investment with long-term and subtleties. By avoiding these five mistakes while insulating, you can save energy and create a comfortable and safe living space. Innovative products such as the Izolteks NG200 will help you and your budget achieve these goals.
