Thermal Insulation
What is thermal insulation?
Your home’s shield from heat and cold
Thermal insulation is the process of insulating buildings from the outside environment to prevent the transfer of heat or cold
In other words, it acts as a barrier that prevents hot air from entering the building in the summer, and cold air from exiting it in the winter.
Why is thermal insulation important?
Energy saving:
Thermal insulation reduces heat loss in the winter or heat gain in the summer, which reduces reliance on air conditioning and heating devices and thus saves on energy bills.
Thermal comfort: Thermal insulation maintains an ideal indoor temperature throughout the year, providing a comfortable living environment.
Building protection:
Thermal insulation increases the life of the building and protects the structure from damage caused by changes in temperature and humidity.
Better health: Thermal insulation reduces condensation and moisture accumulation, which reduces the growth of mold and mildew and improves indoor air quality.
Types of thermal insulation materials
Polyurethane
A good thermal and sound insulator, and fills voids completely.
Rock wool
Made from natural rock fibers, provides excellent thermal and sound insulation, and is fire resistant
Polystyrene
Lightweight and easy to install, ideal for thermal insulation of ceilings and walls
Benefits of thermal insulation:
- Reducing energy bills: reducing the electricity consumption needed for heating or cooling.
- Improving thermal comfort: by maintaining a constant internal temperature.
- Protect the building: from damage caused by changes in temperature and humidity.
- Increase property value: Thermally insulated buildings have a higher value.
- Protect the environment: by reducing carbon emissions from energy generation
