The thermal insulation of the house can be installed on the interior or on the exterior, including the floor and the ceiling. For increased efficiency, it must take into account the dew point.
Thermal insulation is required because the outer walls of a building represent a wide exterior area, and conventional construction materials – concrete, brick, wood etc.- are not sufficient to guarantee adequate thermal comfort and energy efficiency. In the absence of thermal insulation, you lose much of the amount of heat produced for indoor heating, which is easy to notice during the cold season.
A good insulation of the walls will make the interior more comfortable and the energy bills will be significantly smaller. This is true not just for the cold season, when energy is needed for heating, but also for the summer, when you turn on the air conditioning to keep the heat outside. It is important as well to have the attic insulated properly from a Shelby roofing professional to keep from loosing heat through your roof, and to keep cold out.
In order to get the best results in terms of thermal insulation, it is good to inform right from the project stage of the house construction if the chosen building materials are the most suitable to provide energy efficiency. As such, you will find, for example, that brick has a better heat transfer efficiency than many other materials.
Insulation can also be applied to old buildings on existing walls.
