Insulation Tape

Three-layer walls without air gap With this method, insulation boards are placed in one or more layers in the cavity wall and fixed with anchors embedded in masonry joints bearing wall. With this method device wall vapor barrier is needed to prevent condensation of water vapor in the insulation. The front layer of bricks laid (stone) and binds to the carrier wall. Three-layer walls with an air Clearance With this method the device is built inside the walls of first bearing wall buildings of building bricks or blocks. Insulation panels is placed on the wire anchors (previously incorporated in masonry load-bearing wall) and pressed to her lock washers. In this constructive option uses flexible connections with clamps designed for communication between layers of brickwork and a retaining plate heater to create an air layer between the facing layer and a heater.

The role of fixatives are the special washers with anticorrosion coating. At its core, three-layer wall with ventilated air gap is facade, facing only role here do not leaf, cluster or slab material, and the stone outer wall. 3) The external insulation systems of “wet” type can be divided into three main layers of the “wet” type: Insulation – slabs of insulating material with low thermal conductivity (eg, polystyrene), reinforced – a layer of special adhesive mineral composition, reinforced alkali-resistant mesh protective and decorative – decorative plaster and primer (mineral or polymer) can paint with special “breathable” paint, can also be used facing materials (eg, clinker tiles). The application of exterior insulation “wet” type improves heat and sound insulation cladding. The benefits of outdoor systems insulation “wet” type include: providing the required resistance to heat all types of building envelopes; possibility to use without loss of heat-light frame structures. Lightweight walling have a lower coefficient of heat absorption material of the bearing wall, but the reduction in thermal resistance is compensated by the high thermal resistance insulation material; increase living space the interior structure.

Foams Insulation

Posted by on

Liquid and sheet foams emit a range of hazardous gases and vapors, leading to allergies, asthma, cancer. Therefore, this type of insulation may not be used indoors, and I would not recommend even outside since any masonry – brick, cement, concrete, not to mention the tree is permeable to gas molecules, in addition, we rarely organize a separate ventilation system in the house more often – ventilated. Styrofoam less dangerous than the foams, but also not recommended for internal insulation. Product of cotton insulation is a suspension of microscopic glass shards – or mineral fiber that can penetrate mucous membranes and lungs. Another danger – the fibers are fastened together formaldehyde resins, which is the source of allergies. Because after the weatherization work on the need to seal the layer of insulation and completely clean the air in the room. Eco-friendly foam insulation does not have harmful fumes and limitations of the above materials.

In addition, a significant difference is their water vapor permeability (this can not provide even cotton insulation – because we have to use vapor barrier). Another problem with heaters – aging. Leafy heaters lose their performance characteristics for 3-7 years. Quilted insulation have a nasty trend and pressed zamokat (through aging gidrobarer included). In 5-7 years there is an urgent need to replace them. Foam insulation – the longest period of operation, some foam heaters have a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. What insulation would you recommend for insulation in the private use of a private home is unacceptable neekologichnyh uteliteley, because it is a grievous resource – the health of residents, especially children. Because – for insulation of private homes – eco-friendly foam insulation or, in extreme cases, cotton, and wool must be chosen from water-based adhesive, with mandatory sealing and fine-cleaning the air.

This type of installation provides good cooling conditions of the wires (cables), and the possibility of replacing them free access to them during the operation. Trays wirings produce sections of 2 m in length: the weld – a width of 200 and 400 mm, perforated – 50 and 100 mm. Trays mounted on at least 2 m above the ground or grounds maintenance; in areas served by specially trained personnel, the height of the trays and baskets not specified. Metal trays NL (Fig. 1) mounted on modular cable designs, the elements of building and technological structures, brackets and hangers. Step of fixing the cables – 250 mm. All connections for the installation and repair perform threaded clamping pieces of the process map. For reliable electrical contact at the joints straight painted tray flanges must be galvanized.

Electrical contact support elements with straight-colored bins provided by lock washers or cleaning up the site of contact. Operations wiring is in the trays in a specific technology sequence. First, a cord mark out the route in compliance with the mounting of the support and the support structures and points of attachment to the building elements of the building. The distance between fixing points Trays shall be equal to 2-2.5. Then, install or support structures are hung on brackets or consoles, perforated strips and profiles, fixing them or spacer plugs were shot. Supporting structures welded to the embedded parts of metal structures and buildings, or suspended in the spans of shops for carrying cables and cable hangers guys.

When crossing the tray with the distance from the pipeline before the pipeline supporting structure must be at least 50, with a parallel pursuit – not less than 100 mm for pipes with hot liquids or gases, respectively, at least 100 and 250 mm. After these operations of individual sections of the trays are collected in blocks 6-12 m, connecting them with strips of bolts. When laying boxes for cable suspension provide a bias towards the descent to the power consumers. Next, prepare a dimensional piece of wire in the ground and their connections at the ends removed isolation prozvanivatsya, twisted veins that produce the correct connections in the right places or squeezing a box set, harvested in bunches, bandazhiruyut, label tags. The number of wires in the bundle must not exceed 12 outer diameter of the beam – 0.1 m. The distance between the bandages on the horizontal beams of 4.5, the vertical – no more than 1 m.

Decoration area consists of an impressive composition of flower beds, pools, lighting, architectural ornaments. Properly chosen components form a single style, in which all "participants" look harmoniously. Designing the site begin with drainage. Even if the landscape design of a particular site does not imply artificial ponds, streams and fountains, drainage is still needed because the rainwater regularly goes to the flower beds. Drainage represents an engineered drainage system as laid in the ground pipes, canals and wells. Drainage channels are placed along the edges of garden paths and around residential buildings. In small stations are allowed instead of culverts used bricks and trays with holes. Very often in landscaping laid artificial reservoirs.

The very nature of man laid to admire and pacify the type and splash of water. Reservoir depends on the size of the site, for example, can be constructed with a cascade waterfall, a small stream, pond or fountain supply. If the plant pond plants – and get the original and elegant solution decoration. During construction and laying of artificial reservoirs are of great importance Construction Materials: coatings, mechanisms. Now on sale a lot of different materials to create reservoirs: fiberglass, PVC film, concrete, rammed clay, polyethylene, ready-made forms, Butyl rubber. Material depends on the quality of the reservoir and its longevity "seamless." The most prominent participants in design the landscape are all sorts of flower beds.

Flower beds can be placed in vertical and horizontal planes, creating an interesting composition. From the flower beds, you can create a variety of flowerbeds, alpine gardens, ridges, group planting. This should take into account the height of the plants, the biological compatibility of different plants and flowering periods. Composition of plants of different flowering period can be created, but not from the combined "hostile" plants – not to be. However, to a flower bed looked bright spots – requires a uniform background. Background often appears lawn, sometimes the embankment and primer. The lawn does not necessarily have to be one color, and used colored lawns of wild flowers. The attractiveness of an area depends on correctly matched lighting. Landscape lighting is planned at the beginning of a creative project, when the zones are marked on the map activity, benches, bridges, paths and steps. Lighting plots can be of different types: general, concealer, flood, specifically: light flower gardens, ponds, architectural ornaments and lawns. Best Landscape design seems natural, it gives the impression of naturalness, and this may include a lot of artificial ingredients, made by man: the hedges, arbours, benches and much more.

Try to leave minimal gaps, because the better the tiles adjacent to the nearest surface, the stronger finish. Most often, first veneer floors, and then the walls, but it happens and vice versa. In the first case in wall covering tiles directly pressed to the floor tiles. In the second version of the bottom row of tiles bonded at some distance from the floor, so that could then put a layer of cement glue and floor plitku.Dlya such purposes, I usually They are used metallic profiles, which are bolted to the wall, exposing the horizontal level, and snow was beginning to stowage In I recommend paving mix items from several boxes. Laying start from the bottom.

The wall surface coat from the bottom up horizontal rows. Between the tiles retain a place in the seam. Gentle pressure tile adhesive on the base, tightly pressed to the surface of the tile. You can slightly move the tiles on the wall until the glue is not dried up, in order to bring them closer to or farther from each other. After laying the tiles and hand presses remove excess mortar until it is uniform seams zatverdel.Dlya use krestiki.Obychno joints have a width of 1.5 – 3 mm, and ceramic tiles in large sizes – 5 mm.

It depends on your desires, as well as the conditions for further Operating veneered surfaces: the higher the temperature difference, the higher the load on the surface (the floor, the pedestrian zone, the steps:) – the greater the width of the seams is recommended. The most important thing in the tiling-compliance level, as vertical and gorizontalnogo.Maleyshy failure can undermine all the work there. Here are some more, I think the important points: – If you are using in remote crosses, try to retrieve them after fixing adhesive, but until it is completely dry. Both figures, as a rule, manufacturers of glue on the package indicates, since time is highly individual and depends on the composition of the adhesive.
