The best way to insulate surfaces
Domestic air conditioning, which includes heating and cooling, is necessary for the home, and the loss of that heat, whether from inside the house in the winter or being inside the house in the summer, is undesirable, and therefore many seek to reduce the rate of heat moving to and from the house by insulating the surfaces and walls so that the walls allow a percentage of Between 15-20% and ceilings 10-15% of the heat passes through them. Here are some ways to insulate roofs of all types:
Concrete blocks or bricks
They are concrete blocks used in the construction of walls, which are based on raising the rate of thermal insulation of the house so that they contain plastic granules or air voids that reduce the process of heat transfer outside the house, which distinguishes them from the concrete casting method is that the latter depends on pouring the entire concrete to build the wall, and therefore it allows Heat transfer that transfers better in solid bodies more easily than in concrete blocks only.
foam boards
It is an insulating foam made of polystyrene, polyisocyanate and polyurethane, surrounded by solid boards on all sides, to be 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, as they are installed on the roofs of houses or in places rich in sunlight, so that they reflect and divert the sun's rays falling on this surface, and thus reduce the heat flow to the interior. procedure.
Structural insulation panels
This method is used to insulate ceilings and walls so that it depends on a prefabricated structure consisting of two facades separated by a vacuum filled with compressed insulating foam, and is characterized by its high efficiency in resisting heat flow, and structural insulation panels can be manufactured in large sizes that require the installation of a crane on buildings.
Isolation with blankets
In this method, blankets consisting of several types of fibers such as glass, plastic, and natural fibers are used, and they are also found in the form of rock wool, and are installed on floors, walls, and wooden beams. These blankets can be installed inside in order to keep them away from moisture or support them in case of wind.
