One of the most common ways to insulate the roof of a private house is to insulate the attic floor. The so - called cold attic. This method is the simplest and fastest. Thermal insulation Hotrok Light (Hotrok Block, Hotrok Vent Light) simply fit on the attic floor on a pre-laid vapor barrier film. The vapor barrier is installed on the side of a warm room and protects the thermal insulation from waterlogging and condensation. Since the air movement here is scanty, it is not necessary to additionally mount the wind protection on the insulating material from above. At the same time, it is important to observe the following nuances: build a windscreen and create a fifty-millimeter ventilation gap around the perimeter of the attic. Such a measure will ensure effective air removal from the cornices. The thickness and quantity of the material is calculated based on the heat engineering calculation. The use of the cold attic pitched roof system, together with other energy-saving technological solutions, significantly reduces the consumption of electric energy and reduces the cost of heating/cooling the building.
Insulation of inter-storey floors is very often used in low-rise construction. If the upper floor does not have heating systems, for example, a summer veranda, then the inter-floor ceiling will act as the only protection against heat losses. To solve such problems, use the lightest cookers that will not experience loads: Hotrok Light (Hotline Block). It is worth noting that the least effect will be in the case of the same microclimate indicators in two residential premises. Then basalt wool slabs will act as a sound-proofing material. They absorb noise between floors, which makes living more comfortable.
In the construction of modern townhouses, private cottages and other low-rise buildings, frame walls are increasingly being built. These structures contain a wooden or metal base with internal and external cladding. The free space inside is filled with a light insulation made of HOTROCK stone wool, which provides the frame with high heat and sound insulation qualities. Among the main advantages of a modern system, it is worth noting its light weight, which allows you to save on the construction of expensive massive foundations and strong foundations. In addition, the structure can be easily and quickly assembled, without spending significant effort and time. During operation, frame systems are completely unpretentious in maintenance and are not subject to shrinkage over time. For exterior decoration, vinyl siding is usually used, which perfectly copes with the protective function of the walls, firmly preventing the influence of natural factors.
