Cement Insulation

cement insulation is a material that provides thermal insulation of walls, floors and roofs. It also helps prevent heat transfer from the outside to the inside of the house. It is highly effective, reducing energy costs and increasing the life of a building.

The properties of cement insulation vary depending on the type of building and its location. It has a high fire resistance and moisture barrier.

Compared to other building materials, concrete is less susceptible to mold and mildew growth because it is less porous. It is also a good insulator, which can reduce your heating and cooling expenses by as much as 30 percent.

Walls of houses made of aerated concrete block require special thermal insulation from the outside. It is necessary to apply a thick layer of heat-insulating plaster (gypsum or cement-sand) to the grid with a thickness of up to 4 cm, laying it on top of the insulation.

This method is in demand when the facade is decorated with heavy ceramic panels or natural stone. It requires more time and costs than the "easy" technology, but is quite effective.

In addition to the heat-insulating plaster, a vapor barrier is installed in the interior of the insulated walls. This vapor barrier is not directly fixed to the aerated concrete blocks, but to a reinforced steel mesh.

In the case of aerated concrete blocks, dew points can fall on the aerated concrete blocks, which will cause moisture to freeze and thaw, destroying them. It is possible to prevent this from occurring by transferring the dew point to the thermal insulator layer, which is less susceptible to destruction.
