The best way to insulate surfaces
Home air conditioning, which includes heating and cooling, is necessary for the home, and the loss of that heat, whether from inside the house in winter or being inside the house in summer is undesirable, and therefore many seek to reduce the rate of heat transfer to and from the house by insulating surfaces and walls, so that walls allow For a percentage ranging between 15-20% and ceilings 10-15% of the heat to pass through them, and the following are some methods of insulating roofs of all kinds:
concrete blocks or bricks
They are concrete blocks used to build walls, which are based on raising the rate of thermal insulation of the house, so that they contain plastic granules or air spaces that reduce the heat transfer process outside the house, which distinguishes them from the concrete casting method is that the latter depends on pouring concrete completely to build the wall, Thus, it allows heat that is better transmitted in solid objects to transfer more easily than the method of concrete blocks only.
foam boards
It is an insulating foam made of polystyrene, polyisocyanate and polyurethane, surrounded by solid panels on all sides, which are installed on the walls from the outside or from the inside, so that it gives great effectiveness in thermal insulation in addition to its good heat resistance.
reflective barriers
Thermal reflection barriers are widely used in the summer so that they are installed on the roofs of houses or in places rich in sunlight, so that they work to reflect the sun's rays falling on that roof and keep it away, thus reducing the heat flow into the interior.
Structural Insulation Panels
This method is used to insulate ceilings and walls so that it depends on a prefabricated structure that consists of two facades separated by a vacuum that is filled with compressed insulating foam, and is characterized by its high efficiency to resist heat flow, and structural insulation panels can be manufactured in large sizes that require a crane to be installed on buildings.
Insulation with blankets
In this method, blankets are used consisting of several types of fibers such as fiberglass, plastic, natural, and also found in the form of rock wool, and are installed on floors, walls and wooden supports, and these blankets can be installed inside the faces in order to keep them away from moisture or support them in If there is wind
