Pipe isolation fooled flew. Heat insulation for foil pipes

When carrying out insulation problems when repairing an apartment, building a house, baths, other utility or economic structures, any owner always gets up to the problem of choosing optimal thermal insulation materials. It is good that in our time an assortment of them on sale is quite wide. But this variety of choice can play with a dozen man and a "evil joke" - it is not difficult to get confused in such an abundance and make a mistake. Therefore, going to the store for buying or going to make an online order, the consumer must already have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe characteristics of the material, its features, applications and the main technological methods of installation.

This article will be placed an overview of thermal insulation materials, which, despite the fact that they can have a different base foundation, are still combined with one common important feature - a foil surface. So, we consider varieties, advantages and disadvantages, price level and practical use of insulation with foil.

Advantages and disadvantages of insulation with foilization

Any of insulation materials has its insulation qualities due to foamed, porous, sweat, fibrous or other base, which allows you to create and hold the air layer. Well, the air itself has an extremely low thermal conductivity, and in the amount it turns out the thermal insulation layer, the transmission of thermal energy through which if not completely excluded is significantly reduced. It is clear that any material has its own thermal resistance indicators, and the general capabilities of the insulation depend on its thickness.

1 - Mineral Wat.

2 - Polyethylene foamed.

3 - polystyrene foam.

4 - foamed concrete.

But this, so to speak, the passive role of the insulation. And whether it is impossible to do so that the thermal insulator not only missed the heat through its structure, but also participated more actively, reflecting thermal energy in the right direction? It turns out, it is possible - and for this is used foil.

The wavelength of infrared radiation is close to the visible light, and the heat flux is as well as the light beam, is able to reflect from the mirror surface and redirect it back. It is according to such a principle that any thermos is working - a thin glass or metal flask for a liquid with an inner mirror or polished surface, and an air (or vacuum) layer around.

Heat in such a simple design is preserved for a very long time. The exact same principle is used in the insulation of residential premises, baths, industrial buildings and technological lines, agricultural objects, etc. For this use foil insulation.

Modern technologies make it possible to apply aluminum foil layer to almost any thermal insulation materials, so that the strength of the resulting multilayer design is observed, without its bundle. As a result, new insulation acquire a number of wonderful qualities:

The "Effect T of Yermos" created in the room allows much better to maintain heat in winter, and vice versa - coolness in the summer.
Improving the efficiency of thermal insulation will attract the reduction of energy spending on the needs of heating.
The foil surface in itself is a good barrier from the penetration of moisture and water vapor, which in some cases it allows you to do without an additional waterproofing layer.
Folation does not reduce the thermal insulation of the material, on the contrary - enhances them and allows the insulation of a much less thickness, which is sometimes extremely important in clode premises.
Any type of foil insulation is also a good noise insulator.
The application of foil on the thermal insulator does not pose any threat from an ecological point of view. On the contrary, it often becomes a strengtheing border from the penetration of the smallest particles of the material into the space of the room.
The material is easily mounted, for which some special professional skills are required. Moreover, it can, if necessary, be dismantled, and then installed on the same or another place.
Material release form - rolls or panels are very convenient for installation work.

From disadvantages, you can note the following:

Aluminum is still susceptible to gradual corrosion, which is why it begins to curly, and over time, its reflective qualities weaken somewhat.
The metal layer can be very hot, and therefore, when installing, it is necessary to provide a small air gap between the insulation and the finish finish of the surface. By the way, the same air gap will contribute to the air coating, and the lack of moisture on the foil surface will significantly reduce the aggressiveness of corrosion processes and thereby increase the operational period of the material.

Main types of insulation with foil

Now it is worth considering the main varieties of foil insulation, their characteristic features and scope of application. In private construction, materials from foamed polyethylene, from mineral wool or polystyrene foaming are widely used. There are other materials, for example, plates on a basalt-fiber-based basis with foil, but this is the material of roads, and has a specific purpose - for thermal insulation of technological lines, energy installations, special industrial facilities, and the like.

Foilized insulation based on polyethylene foamed

It is one of the most common and convenient in the work of the types of foil insulation. It is a layer of foamed by special technology covered with one or two layers of foil with a thickness of 10 ÷ 15 μm.

The thickness of the insulating layer can be different - from 2 to 15 mm. The form of release is usually rolls, but there may be sheets of standardized size, which is particularly characteristic of the thick (15 mm) species.

Three varieties of material are produced:

type A - one-sided foil;
the type b - foil is applied on both sides, which is sometimes required to enhance thermal insulation properties;
a type FROM – from One side of the foil, on the other - covered with a protective film self-adhesive layer facilitating in the necessary cases of installation of the installation on the ceiling or on vertical surfaces.

By type of source material used, there may also be differences:

In low-cost brands applied ordinary polyethylene N.PE, which is subjected to multiple foaming in the process of production with the creation of a closed gas-filled porous structure. The disadvantage of this material is low resistance to deformation loads, the property of the gradual shrinkage.
The best indicators are the insulation on the basis of a specially processed, "cross-linked" polyethylene (PPE). It has a slightly higher density, but due to transverse intermolecular connections, it not only withstands the mechanical effects better, but also strives to recreate its original form after removing the dynamic load. When the material is found, this nuance must be considered.

Some types of such insulation may additionally have a fiberglass reinforcing mesh in their structure.

You can find a lot of names of insulation on the basis of foamed polyethylene. Certified production of MAROK "Penofole", "Ecoofol", "Isoflex", "Cellon", "Jermaflex", "Folgoisol" uses well-deserved popularity. Some characteristics of these materials are shown in the table:

Rolls 1200 mm wide, insulation thickness 2, 3, 5, 8, or 10 mm, 25 and 15 m long. Filtration thickness - 10 μm.

Foil polyethylene foam finds widest use when carrying out repair and construction work. Sheets or lanes of the insulation are attached to the surface by any convenient way, but so as to prevent a strong violation of the integrity of foils (for example, it is permissible to fix it with a construction stapler brackets). As a rule, the canvas are stacked, which is then sampled by foil tape to provide a single solid reflective and insulating surface.

Floor insulation. It is used as an additional or even the main (for example, in multi-storey houses) the thermal insulating layer, which can also play the role of the waterproofer at the same time. It is fitted with a foil portion up before the flooring flooring flooring.

Thermal insulation and additional noise insulation of walls and ceilings, especially in conditions when the size of the room does not allow the use of thicker types of insulation (the classic example is a narrow balcony or loggia). Fucked by a foil side towards the room. It is necessarily a gap between the foil and the finishing coating (clapboard, panels, etc.). It is usually fixed on the surface of the crates (counter tests), which become the basis for cladding.

Insulation of roofing rods. It can be used independently either in a complex with other materials. In any case, foil polyethylene is attached to the last in the direction of the attic room, and on top of it, with the observance of the gap, the casing is mounted.

. The foil layer simultaneously plays the role of reliable parohydrozolation, Protecting the wall material from the conjunction. True, in the conditions of a steam room, where there may be critical high temperatures, the use of material is not always justified due to the limited temperature range of its operation.

Thermo reflecting Screens for heating radiators. Such a measure does not allow the heat to consume heat energy into unnecessary heating in a non-shear wall, redirecting the infrared flow back to the room.

Interestingly, this material is widely used for other purposes that are not related to construction. So, it is great for insulation and noise insulation of the car's salons. Use it for the manufacture of warm rake for winter shoes.

Mineral wool with foil

Thermal insulation properties of mineral wool are very high by themselves. But additional foils will only increase the effectiveness of insulation. In addition, this material is very hygroscopic, and an additional barrier from the penetration of moisture and water pair will not allow the Minvat to get into and lose their qualities.

Material release form - rolls, pre-compressed or sectional, or individual plates.

Due to the fact that the upper temperature limit of the mineral wool operation exceeds 300 degrees, it is not suitable for both the ceilings in the baths. In principle, this is the main purpose of such a foil insulation, although, of course, nothing prevents it from applying it for other purposes, for example, for thermal insulation of the roof.

In any case, the plates or mats are located between the guides of the crates. The step of the guides is initially set by 10 ÷ 20 m m. Mr. The width of the insulation - so he will enter the niche intended for him. Folation density is usually that it is possible that the insulation can be fixed with brackets for the aluminum layer. The joints are necessarily sampled by foil scotch, to observe the effect of hydropara insulation. A 20 ÷ 25 mm of air gap is left between the insulation and the wall covering the wall (ceiling).

The mineral wool insulation is produced and in the form of collapsible cylinders or half-cylinders - these products are perfectly suitable for thermal insulation of pipelines.

The heat resistance of mineral foil wool allows it to be used for additional thermal insulation of boilers, boilers, accumulative tanks, other heat engineers.

Polystyrene foam mats with foil

Not so often, but still one species of foil insulation is also used. We are talking about plates (mats) from polystyrene foam with aluminum foil with one of the sides.

Such products can be issued with single mats or rolls for several meters made sectionally, by type of tractor caterpillar.

The main purpose of such insulation foil materials is, both independent and in the "" system. The aluminum foil layer reflects the thermal stream up, to warm the finish coating, so that expensive energy is not spent on the hearts of massive slabs of overlapping or black floor laid on the ground.

To facilitate the installation of the circuits of "warm sex" on most models of such mats, a convenient, well-visible markup is applied. The fixation of the pipes will not submit a special difficulty - for this you can use special clamps with "harpoon" tips that reliably keep the element in the thickness of polystyrene foam.

Fastening the "warm floor" pipe to mat

Better better mats made of extruded polystyrene. Its elevated density makes the material resistant to fairly significant mechanical loads, which is particularly important when furnacely.

In the conclusion of the review, it is necessary to make one very important remark. All the listed advantages of foil insulation will be valid only if the material is high-quality. The fact is that some unscrupulous manufacturers are limited to the application of thin aluminized spraying. This is not fooling, although externally materials can be similar. A thin pompaled layer is not capable of properly reflect the thermal flow - infrared radiation for the most part will pass through it. And the obstacle to penetrate moisture and water vapor such a "decorative" brilliant layer will not be.

Foilized insulation belongs to the category of thermal insulation materials with a wide area of \u200b\u200bapplication. Before buying, it is recommended to study varieties, properties and possibilities of using each type of product.

Application

This material for thermal insulation refers to the category of combined products. It is a layer with foamed polyethylene and polished foil. With the help of a compound of two materials, high quality thermal insulation is ensured for enclosing structures.

Products with foil minvat can be used in different rooms. Depending on the object assignment, it is necessary to select the corresponding view. The insulation is suitable for almost any surface, but most often it is purchased for the following objects:

Pipeline covering. Operation is allowed for pipes of hot and cold water supply.
Isolation of ventilation mines and air ducts.
Warming of pastry, arrangement inside the roof.
Heat insulation for walls from the inside of the house or outside.
Laying layer under linoleum.

Views

Depending on the purpose of the products, several varieties of insulation are produced. They differ in each other by the density of the foil used and the type of heat insulating material.

Penophol

Foil Penofol (second name: Polysto-Foenhelene, C Isolon, Folgoisol). This rolled products, which is distinguished by a low price tag. In the role of the insulation, a foamed polyethylene of cross-linked or nonstained type is used. The layer thickness is 3-8 mm, 10 mm. Foil layer is located on one or both sides. A self-adhesive basis is allowed.

Some types of products have a reinforcing interlayer in which fiberglass is present. Moisture absorption indicators are 0.35-0.7%. Parry permeability is about 0.001 mg / m * to.

Material is used to work with a warm floor system, to arrange the heat insulating layer in the room, as well as for split systems. Also the canvas can be used as a pipe insulation.

Minvata.

This material can be produced in rolls or possess plates. Products with aluminum coating contribute to improving heat shields, as well as protect the hygroscopic material from humidity.

The role of mineral insulation is often used basalt. It has elevated moisture resistance and is characterized by a long service life. Such a heater can be used in different spheres. Often it can be found in the role of insulation for chimney pipes, for the arrangement of walls, ceiling, roof.

Styrofoam

This material is used for a warm floor system. On the inside of the product there is a markup, which is intended for laying the cable system. The density of the material is 30-50 kg / cubic meter. The thickness of the product reaches 3-5 mm. The release of the insulation is carried out in a roll width of 50 cm. For other areas of use, foil foam is not intended.

Basalt thermal insulator

The heat insulator is able to cope with aggressive terms of use. The material does not lose its qualities in temperature mode from -200 to +700 degrees. Used during construction work of various structures.

Characteristics

All types of material are distinguished by the total list of technical specifications:

Resistance to temperature drops.
Moisture resistance.
High levels of vapor permeability (value is 0.001 mg / m. H. PA).
High rates regarding the reflection of thermal radiation. The thermal conductivity is 0.037 W / m ° C.
Folgized insulation - heat-resistant material.
A sufficient level of sound insulation (sound absorption reaches 68%).
Foil provides reliable protection against exposure to solar and radon radiation. Also, the aluminum insulation does not require auxiliary processing with a chemical agent, which indicates the environmental safety of the material.
According to manufacturers, products are distinguished by a long service life, which reaches 95 years.

Pros and cons

Folgized insulation has the following advantages:

Thanks to the metal layer, the material is not subjected to the corrosion process.
The product is able to provide auxiliary sound insulation layer in the room.
The insulation contributes to a decrease in heat losses.
The performance of the heating system increases. This is achieved due to the reflection of thermal energy.
The canvas saves the cost of heating.
Insulation insulation does not allow the appearance of drafts.
Wide area of \u200b\u200buse.
A wide range of an assortment that differs in the type of insulating material and the thickness of the canvas.
Resistance to moisture.
Small mass and good elasticity indicators.
Ease of installation.
Ingredients are not present toxic compounds. For this reason, the material is considered environmentally safe.
Affordable price category.

Also, the insulation has disadvantages:

Due to the soft structure, it is impossible to use the insulation under the decay with mixtures for construction work.
If the product without adhesive base is used, it will be necessary to purchase special adhesives. This speaks about additional expenses.
A small thickness of the layer is not able to provide a sufficient level of thermal protection. For this reason, the product is often complemented by other insulation.

FEATURES OF MONTAGE

When installing, you should familiarize yourself with some features of the process:

The thickness of the insulation, with which it is necessary to insulate the wall, ceiling or floor, should not be less than 50 mm. Experts recommend using for complex work the same material. However, if the ceiling insulation is made using a thicker web, it will not be considered an error, since the main mass of thermal energy goes through the ceiling. For this reason, the feet should be given for more attention.
The properties of mineral wool consist in the fact that it absorbs moisture. After wetting, the material loses insulating characteristics. At the same time, the insulation gives moisture poor quality, and in the cold time, wet particles can turn into pieces of ice.
To prevent moisture crystallization, the foil insulation will require protection. In the thin aluminum layer there may be small holes or microcracks that cannot be seen. At the same time, if there are even two barriers for vapors and moisture, steam particles will still be able to penetrate thermal insulation. For this reason, experts recommend creating insulating layers in such a way that the moisture can leave Wat.

Order levels of insulating cake:

Finishing made from natural origin materials. Most users use wooden lining for these purposes.
Steam-speaking film. This is a membrane that helps protect against humidity and vapor. Laying should be made in principle to finishing material.
Ventilated clearance. It is an air layer that is formed by creating a crate.
Heatel with foil for wall surfaces. The laying should be done in such a way that the reflected rays can return to the room to the main wall.
Layer of waterproofing. This is a membrane that will not pass moisture, but allows you to skip steam. Laying is made in bulk to mineral wool.
Between the foil and other surfaces, an air layer must be present. If you neglect this rule, the insulation will not be able to reflect IR rays.

The heat insulating material should be located between the guides of the crates. For these purposes, you can use wooden bars with a thickness that exceeds the thickness of the insulation. Such quality allows you to provide ventilation gap between the foil and finishing material.

There should be a distance between the guides, which is 3 cm less than the width of the heat insulation canvas. The waterproofing layer is fixed into the wall and attached by the brackets. Since there is a difference between the width and cells in the crate, the insulation is seated tightly, without requiring auxiliary fixation. Parobarrier is mounted on the crate. On top of it, the finishing material should be laid.

Insulation balcony

The insulation of a balcony or loggia is performed using a foil insulation with a base in the form of polyethylene. Polyethylene is subjected to foaming, after which an aluminum foil is pasted on it. The thickness of the foamed polyethylene can reach 10 mm. The canvas acts not only as reinforcement and the damper, but also able to prevent thermal losses.

Most users know this material called Penofol. There is one-sided and double-sided material whose foil can have a smooth or corrugated surface. Products with auxiliary protection in the form of a polyethylene film are also available. The layer is applied using lamination.

The insulation of the balcony without auxiliary isolation does not differ in efficiency and does not allow to achieve the desired result. For this reason, the foam should be used in a pair with foam or cotton.

It is easiest to work with foam, using self-adhesive glue-foam. Externally, it is similar to simple mounting foam and can be used for applying a mounting gun.

Warming is made according to the following scheme:

Polyfoam must be pasted on a prepared base from the inside.
Penofol is placed on a layer of foam.
Obillion should be fixed wooden bars to be used for finishing.
Then you need to sew the resulting "pie" by any material for finishing. You can use plaster, siding or block house.
Not allowed to lay a foam bang. The junction of the joints is performed using a special aluminum tape.

For the insulation of the floor, it will be necessary to arrange according to the level of the guides, after which there is a foam between them. The guides need to lay a foam. Next there are two ways to lay:

the flooring is made directly on the foam layer;
the second level of the crate should be mounted, after which it is laying flooding.

Experts recommend using the second methodology, since when using the first method, it is impossible to obtain a ventilating gap required for the insulation reflection. If you exclude the improvement of the ventilation gap, it is not necessary and a foam, since it will not be any benefit.

Thermal insulation of pipes

Foil thermal insulation for the pipeline is used during the arrangement of communications under the ground or by air. To reduce thermal loss of pipes, the foil insulation is used even in unheated rooms, which are located on the ground floors in the suburban buildings.

No special guide is required for installation, since the installation of heaters with foil is easily ease.It is enough to wear the shell on the desired area and in some places remove the protective coating from the adhesive layer, which is located on the ends of the longitudinal cuts

Due to the reflecting surface of communication, protection against solar radiation is provided if the reflective shell is located only outside. If the reflective coating is present on the inside, it contributes to heat recovery back to the pipe.

Folgized insulation are used for interior decoration, and can also be used to isolate communications that are located on the street. Mineral wool, polystyrene foam or foamed polyethylene are used as the basis for the heat insulating material. The insulation of wool and foamflast is used as a key insulating layer, and the reflective shell is used as an auxiliary barrier.

Bath Protection

If the bathing is planned, it is recommended to acquire rolled materials. This is due to the fact that an unprepared person is easier to work with rolls. For these purposes, you can use foamed polyethylene or mineral wool medium thickness.

Most often wooden buildings are insulated. Start mounting from the ceiling, moving to the walls. The thermal insulation material with the floor foil is latter. For work, the parchment is also required, which is pasted on the ceiling in a pair with mineral wool.

The fastening of the foil insulation to the wall is made according to the following scheme:

First of all, you need to create a wooden crate. Rolls are stacked in it. For fixing it is necessary to use glue.
If the folgized insulation broke, the damaged area can be sealed using metal tape. Masters advise using basalt cotton wool with foil, which is rarely torn.
Then you should attach to the screening of the plank. They are further attached to the ceiling coating. Foil film is fixed by rail.
If there is no foil basalt wool in the presence, it can be replaced with another thermal insulating material with foil. The installation of products is done in the same way as the installation of the wool.
The easiest to be laying foam polyethylene is made. To install it, you just need to cut the roll to the necessary parts and exercise the ceiling. A heat-resistant tape is applied to the seams.
Installing the insulation on the surface of the walls occurs in a similar way. The difference is that it is necessary to ensure the fall of five centimeters, which should be superimposed on the floor and the ceiling. Thus, steam will not be able to leave the room. A small gap should be present between the inner wall and the foil layer.
The hot pairs of air rise upstairs, so the ceiling should be paid special attention. Many users produce basalt wool styling in two layers.

Outside the building

Woodering of wooden houses is best made from the inside, since such an event allows you to maintain heat. However, if an internal insulation is impossible, an outdoor casing is allowed. For these purposes, it is necessary to acquire a foil minor from the average layer thickness.

To ensure high-quality work, you will need:

adhesive;
pistol for construction work;
a set of dowels;
film to protect against wind;
grinding brush.

What is so good foil insulation for pipes? Foil Heating Heating True

Advantages of foil thermal insulation (insulation) of pipes

The insulation for pipes performs very important features. Without it, we would have to lay pipes exclusively in premises with a normal temperature level, or deep underground.

Otherwise, the cavity of the pipes will not be able to protect against the freezing during the cold, and therefore from the paralysis of the entire water supply system.

However, now the thermal insulation required to protect pipes is in the market in excess. We will pay attention to the interesting subspecies - the insulation for pipes fooled. What is his feature and advantages?

Building articles

Features and appointment of insulation

As we have noted above, the insulation for pipes is applied almost everywhere. The main task is to protect pipes from freezing during the winter period. If it is not necessary to process the pipes, then at best the plumbing is partially freezed. In the worst it is completely blocked.

Thaw water supply systems, and even in winter - the pleasure is expensive. Not to mention that in such situations, the risk of damage or breakthrough of one of the sites increases at times.

Also, the insulation protects the surface of the pipes from heat loss, and therefore increases the overall efficiency of the heating system.

Thermal insulation is used to protect chimneys and sewage. In the first case, the insulation plays the role of the limiter, so to speak the protective layer that does not give the drains to frozen and score the pipe. In the second insulation, it is necessary to prevent steam condensation and improving thrust inside the chimney.

Foil as insulation

Folgized insulation is often used in construction. However, it is not necessary to be mistaken, thinking that the foil is standard material for thermal insulation.

Just on the contrary, the foil performs those functions with which ordinary insulation, such as mineral wool or foam, is simply not able to cope.

The whole thing is here in the special properties of foil. You probably already know about the types of thermal radiation. If not, then we will briefly remind.

There are three types of radiation:

convection;
heat transfer due to thermal conductivity;
ultraviolet or thermal.

The first option does not interest us, limit it with special means. The second option is the main article of heat expenditure. It is that any design or equipment quickly picks up or gives heat from the atmosphere.

To reduce the interaction rate with a thermal medium, standard heat insulation is used. It has thermal conductivity too low to transfer heat, which means the design protected by such a casing will not face low-temperature zones at all.

But the third type of radiation. Ordinary isolation is not able to level. For such tasks, material is needed that it is capable of reflecting the thermal waves not visible. Just for such purposes and use foil.

It reflects thermal radiation, preventing excessive energy consumption. At the same time, for effective interaction, it is enough to have a layer of foil with a thickness of only 1 mm, and even less.

The need for combination

So why not use the foil alone, you certainly ask you. Surely and there you can do if it were not for one serious drawback. Foil is very fragile. Even building patterns with a rather serious thickness can be damaged by bare hands.

Yes, and mount such a gentle material as thermal insulation is really difficult.

Manufacturers immediately understood the essence of the problem, and offered elegant, but at the same time an extremely effective solution. They began to produce a foil insulation. That is, combine standard materials for insulation with the foil itself.

According to the performance, the material obtained exceeded all our expectations. A person managed to create a heater, which is able to cope immediately with the two main articles of heat loss.

Losses due to different levels of thermal conductivity eliminates the basic thermal insulation material (minvat, foam, etc.) and thermal radiation reflects the foil sheath.

At the same time, the risk of foil the foil does not threaten us more, and if somewhere shell and breaks, then nothing terrible. It is specifically stuck on the body of the insulation so that serious damage to even a major plot has affected the overall protection of the design.

It is obvious that for the insulation of pipes, such schemes began to apply with the same enthusiasm. Even more, foil thermal insulation performed for pipes has become the most popular decision of recent years.

Types of foil insulation

The heat insulation from the foil is combined at once with several materials. You need to choose one or another sample carefully, weigh all their properties, as well as given the features of a particular insulation.

Folgized thermal insulation is found:

Mineralovate.
Foam.
With foamed polyethylene.
With the base of the foam.

We listed only the main samples. There are also less popular, so to speak specialized options, but they are either too expensive or used in a narrow direction.

Mineral wool insulation

Thermal insulation from Minvati with Foil Rockvul is deservedly considered one of the most universal options.

Pipes trimmed with such material do not need additional protection. The main article heat loss eliminates the mineral wool. It has an extremely low thermal conductivity, that is, the pipe does not contact the outer medium at all, and also does not give its heat.

The foil reflects inside all the heat waves of radiation, which wool is simply not able to isolate.

Foil is glued directly to the mineral wool. Its thickness is determined by the pipe diameter and an exemplary temperature level. As a rule, for household needs, there are enough thickness of 3-6 cm. If large main pipelines are considered, then the working thickness will already increase to 10 cm or more.

The mineral wool insulation for pipes is for sale in the form of cut-gray billets. You only need to make them around the pipe and sang together. Then squeak the joints with foil scotch. That's the whole working procedure. It takes a few minutes.

Polyfoam insulation

Competition of mineral wool has always been a foam. And thermal insulation of pipes is no exception.

If the Ministry of Service is quite expensive and has excellent performance, then the foam in its parameters is similar to it, that's just cheaper. It would seem why then at all buy insulation from watts if you can take foam.

The answer is simple - the foam material is artificial material, mineral wool is natural. Plus, the foam burns on fire and a completely steamproof.

However, it is necessary to understand the specifics of the insulation of pipelines. In case of interaction with pipes, we are not interested in the vapor permeability or structure of the insulation. Therefore, the foam can be applied without fears.

The only drawback that still should be considered to be combustible. Try either at all do not use foam plastic at all with an increased likelihood of fire, or apply it in the appropriate protection.

Partly foil just forms this very defense, but only partly. When contacting with high temperatures, the foam will quickly light up, becoming essentially one of the sources of fire.

As for the construction of the insulation, the foam plastic is released in the same way as in the past one - in specially poured half-dead billets, around which foil stick.

Foil with foamed polyethylene

Foamed polyethylene with foil is a more modern insulation. It does not boast of the same thermal conductivity as a minvat, or low-cost foam, but it is easy and easy to handle.

Polyethylene foamed, probably easier to mount. After all, the blanks are very plastic, made in the form of finished shells for pipes cut along the axis.

You just need to dress the insulation to the pipe as the peel, and then make the seams with special glue for polyethylene. It is sold in any construction store.

Polyethylene foamed has a soft structure, does not give in corrosion, does not respond to moisture. Available in blanks with a wall thickness from 1 cm and up to 5 cm. There are larger samples and larger samples, but there is no use in everyday construction.

Fungalized polyethylene is so convenient in circulation that it is put even on those systems that are by and large in insulation do not need. In this case, thermal insulation performs protective and aesthetic functions.

Penopol application

The last sample under consideration is a foam insulation. Penophol is called material, which consists of two components: foil and thin layer of frozen foam. It can not be called a traditional solution.

The thickness of the material rarely exceeds the mark of several millimeters. Penofol does not boast of high thermal insulation properties. In essence, it is just a protective wrapper with a reflective effect. However, for basic protection of pipes and it is sometimes used.

Penofol is very cheap. Square meter is sold for 1 dollar, and even cheaper. At the same time it is easy to cut and glue. That is, the pipe of any diameter can be quickly wrapped as you need.

The quality of the result is certain, it will not be compared using the same foam or foamed polyethylene, but if there are no other options, then this will be in joy.

Moreover, it is possible to work with him with your own hands, practically without expending additional funds.

Foilized insulation for walls and pipes

The technical characteristics of the foil insulation allow you to use it for insulation of pipelines, roofs, walls inside and outside the room. Installation of heating radiator is also possible, which will ensure the increase in heat transfer. In fact, such a material was widely used with the arrangement of the attic, roof, for sound insulation, insulation of the entrance doors. Consider more details and features of insulation with foil, because they can be called differently.

Types of foil insulators

By title it is clear that it is not just a foil, but the material with the heat insulating properties to which it is pasted. As the basis can be used:

mineral wool;
polystyrene foam;
polyethylene foamed.

Regardless of the name, foil insulation work according to one principle. The insulator consists of two layers, one of which reflects the IR rays, and the second is endowed with thermal insulation properties. In case of infrared radiation, the main part of the rays is reflected on the heat transferser. Heat transmission occurs by convection, i.e. Through the air. Since the foil does not have resistance, heating, it misses all heat through itself. After that, the main material comes into operation, which is a thermal insulation layer, which has very high resistance to heat transfer.

From how the insulator is called as a basis will depend on the overall resistance of the insulation with the foil to heat transfer. It is important to understand that the use of material inside the room involves the presence of finishing, and so that the IR rays reflected, the distance between the foil and the insulated surface should be no more than 20 mm. Heat on the foil layer will flow through the finish.

Areas of use of foil insulation

Such material as foamed polyethylene has another name - thermophol. The area of \u200b\u200bits use is wide: insulation of walls, floors, roofing, pipelines, systems of warm floors, baths, saunas.

Can be used for indoor and outdoor installation. Such an insulator is a roll material with a width of 1 m, a thickness of 1 to 20 mm thick. Thanks to the porous structure, it does not allow moisture to penetrate, which eliminates the accumulation of condensate. This gives the material with good vapor insulation properties. It can be ceiling, for walls or floor. But experts recommend using the thermal insulation of the same thickness. In addition, such material is environmentally friendly, safe, characterized by a high level of thermal insulation. In addition, it is offered not only as usual, but also as a self-adhesive insulation.

There are several varieties of the insulator under consideration. Differences are in the technical specifications and applications. The insulation of walls and ventilation channels is produced using foamed polyethylene. The floors are insulated with foil polystyrene foam, which is a thick plate.

For premises with a high level of humidity, a foil mineral wool has proven well. Such material can be used to insulate the roof and chimney. The heat insulator based on basalt is used at very low and high
temperatures.

The viewed view of the insulation is good flexibility, which allows insulating non-standard structures. It is possible to use the material to protect metal structures from corrosion. The insulation with foil not so long ago appeared on the market, but at the same time there is already numerous positive feedback. Conducted by significant savings in the heating season. But before making a choice in favor of this material, in addition to positive qualities, you need to know about one substantial minus: the foil may be subject to corrosion after a while. We will deal with what and how to fix this isolation.

How to insulate the walls with foil material?

To work with foil insulation, you will need the following set:

heat insulator;
stapler;
small nails;
a hammer;
dowels;
wooden rails;
foil Scotch.

Insulation has been applied as in country houses and apartments. In a private house for thermal insulation of walls, it is necessary to fill the rails, which will make the installation of the insulation more convenient. In this case, the space for ventilation will be formed between the wall and thermal insulation layer. Rakes to the wall are mounted using a dowel with a step in 1 m. The laying of the material is made by peaks, then it is fixed to the slats, for which it is better to use the construction brakes either self-tapping screw. A more reliable fastening will provide a dowel. For sizing joints use double-sided foil tape. Laying thermal insulation is made by a foil side inside the room, after which plasterboard is mounted. To eliminate the gap between the wall and the insulation, before installing thermal insulation, the additional rails are assembled to which the plasterboard is made.

The foil insulation for walls is used for the thermal insulation of apartments. In particular, this refers to the highly refined premises, insulate which is problematic outside. In addition, the use of thermal insulation of this kind from the inside will be relevant if there is an elevator, corridor and other unheated premises behind the wall. Before starting work, it is necessary to inspect the walls: if there are cracks and cracks, they will be needed to be eliminated. On the wall, the material can be stuck with a special glue after surface preparation.

Heat insulation for pipes

Fungalized insulation for pipes is used when installing communications under the ground either by air. In addition, this material can be used to reduce heat losses by the coolant in unheated premises. This includes, for example, a boiler room in a country house, which in most cases is located on the ground floor. In addition to the foil to cover the insulation, a metallized film can be used. The easiest tooltomators for such tasks include foil minvat. In addition to mineral wool, foam, foam, thermophol, thermophol can be used as the basis of the insulation.

For household needs, quite sufficiently thickness of the material is 3-6 cm.

Special difficulties when installing insulation under the pipeline does not occur. To do this, the required segment is powered by a shell, and, depending on the case, the protective film from the adhesive layer is removed. The film is applied to the end of the longitudinal cut. When using a foil coating material, communication from solar exposure is carried out from the outside. Foil with its availability from the inside reflects heat back into the pipe.

How to insulate the ceiling with foil thermal insulation?

If you follow the recommendations of specialists, then the thickness of the insulation with the foil both for the ceiling and for the walls and the floor should be at least 50 mm. The ceiling of the brick or wooden building is worth paying special attention, because it turns out the greatest amount of heat. When using mineral wool as insulation, it is important to know that this material absorbs moisture well and with wetting all its positive qualities are lost. At the same time he gives moisture very badly. To protect the insulation with a foil for the ceiling, walls and gears, special films are used. In this case, the mineral wool is considered, since it has such positive characteristics as fire resistance, environmental friendliness, good sound insulation and resistance to rotting.

The ceiling insulation must be performed in such a sequence (installation begins from the inside of the room):

Decoration Materials. For a wooden house, a lining is often used.
Steamosistrate. Film that prevents moisture from entering. Installation is performed tightly to the finish.
Ventilated clearance. Created in the process of assembling the ceiling cable and is an air layer.
Insulation. Installation is made in such a way that the heat is reflected in the room.
Layer of waterproofing. We are needed in order to prevent moisture from entering, but the material misses steam. Installation is produced close to insulation.

Locate the material between the crate, for which brus are used from wood. Their thickness must be somewhat more than that of the insulation, to ensure the ventilation gap. Waterproofing must be attached to the ends of the crates of brackets. So that the insulation tightly kept in the cells of the crate, the distance between the bars must be made less than 3 cm than the size of the heat insulator. From above, the crate is mounted by a parobarar, and after that - finish.

It was considered how to lay thermal insulation foil material, what kind of types there are and in what areas they found use. To say unequivocally, that this or that isolation has undeniable advantages, it is impossible. After all, much depends on the specific tasks, in which each of the materials appear inherent positive properties. Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting the thermophole, because this material has practicality and versatility.

The use of insulation with foil is a solution to several problems at the same time!

Advantages and disadvantages of heaters with foil

Any of the insulation materials has its insulation qualities for light foam, porous, sweat, fibrous or other base, which allows you to create and hold the air layer. Well, the air itself has an extremely low thermal conductivity, and in the amount it turns out the thermal insulation layer, the transmission of thermal energy through which if not completely excluded is significantly reduced. It is clear that any material has its own thermal resistance indicators, and the general capabilities of the insulation depend on its thickness.

1 - Mineral Wat

2 - Polyethylene foamed

3 - polystyrene foam.

4 - foamed concrete.

The created "thermos effect" in the room allows much better to maintain heat in winter, and vice versa - coolness in the summer.
Improving the efficiency of thermal insulation will attract the reduction of energy spending on the needs of heating.
The foil surface in itself is a good barrier from the penetration of moisture and water vapor, which in some cases it allows you to do without an additional waterproofing layer.
Folation does not reduce the thermal insulation of the material, on the contrary - enhances them and allows the insulation of a much less thickness, which is sometimes extremely important in clode premises.
Any type of foil insulation is also a good noise insulator.
The application of foil on the thermal insulator does not pose any threat from an ecological point of view. On the contrary, it often becomes a strengtheing border from the penetration of the smallest particles of the material into the space of the room.
The material is easily mounted, for which some special professional skills are required. Moreover, it can, if necessary, be dismantled, and then installed on the same or another place.
Material release form - rolls or panels are very convenient for installation work.

From disadvantages, you can note the following:

Aluminum is still susceptible to gradual corrosion, which is why it begins to curly, and over time, its reflective qualities weaken somewhat.
The metal layer can be very hot, and therefore, when installing, it is necessary to provide a small air gap between the insulation and the finish finish of the surface. By the way, the same air gap will contribute to the air coating, and the lack of moisture on the foil surface will significantly reduce the aggressiveness of corrosion processes and thereby increase the operational period of the material.

Main types of insulation with foil

Now it is worth considering the main variety of foil insulation, their characteristic features and scope of application. In private construction, materials from foamed polyethylene, from mineral wool or polystyrene foaming are widely used. There are other materials, for example, plates on a basalt-fiber-based basis with foil, but this is the material of roads, and has a specific purpose - for thermal insulation of technological lines, energy installations, special industrial facilities, etc.

Foilized insulation based on polyethylene foamed

This is one of the most common and convenient types of foil insulation. It is a layer of foamed by special polyethylene technology covered with one or two layers of foil 10 ÷ 15 μm thick.

Three varieties of material are produced:

type A - one-sided foil;
the type b - foil is applied on both sides, which is sometimes required to enhance thermal insulation properties;
type C - on one side of the foil, on the other - covered with a protective film self-adhesive layer, facilitating in the necessary cases of the installation process on the ceiling or on vertical surfaces.

By type of source material used, there may also be differences:

In low-cost brands, conventional NPE polyethylene is used, which is subjected to multiple foaming in the production process with the creation of a closed gas-filled porous structure. The disadvantage of this material is low resistance to deformation loads, the property of the gradual shrinkage.
The best indicators are the insulation on the basis of a specially processed, "cross-linked" polyethylene (PPE). It has a slightly higher density, but due to transverse intermolecular connections, it not only withstands the mechanical effects better, but also strives to recreate its original form after removing the dynamic load. When purchasing material, this nuance must be considered.

Some types of such insulation may additionally have a fiberglass reinforcing mesh in their structure.

Foil polyethylene foam finds widest use when carrying out repair and construction work. Sheets or insulation bands are attached to the surface by any convenient way, but so as to prevent a strong disruption of fooling integrity (for example, it is permissible to fix it with the construction stamp brackets). As a rule, the canvas are stacked, which is then sampled by foil tape to provide a single solid reflective and insulating surface.

Floor insulation. It is used as an additional or even the main (for example, in multi-storey houses) the thermal insulating layer, which can also play the role of the waterproofer at the same time. It is fitted with a foil portion up before the flooring flooring flooring.

Thermal insulation and additional noise insulation of walls and ceilings, especially in conditions when the size of the room does not allow the use of thicker types of insulation (the classic example is a narrow balcony or loggia). Fucked by a foil side towards the room. It is necessarily a gap between the foil and the finish coating (clapboard, panels, etc.). It is usually fixed on the surface of the crates (counter tests), which become the basis for cladding.

Insulation of roofing rods. It can be used independently either in a complex with other materials. In any case, foil polyethylene is attached to the last in the direction of the attic room, and on top of it, with the observance of the gap, the casing is mounted.

Bath insulation. The foil layer simultaneously plays the role of reliable vapor insulation, preventing the wall material from the conjunction. True, in the conditions of a steam room, where there may be critical high temperatures, the use of material is not always justified due to the limited temperature range of its operation.

Thermo-reflecting screens for heating radiators. Such a measure does not allow the heat to consume heat energy on unnecessary heating of the outer wall, redirecting the infrared flow back to the room.

Due to the fact that the upper temperature limit of mineral wool is exceeding 300 degrees, it is not better suitable for insulation of the surface of the walls and ceilings in the baths. In principle, this is the main purpose of such a foil insulation, although, of course, nothing prevents it from applying it for other purposes, for example, for thermal insulation of the roof.

In any case, the plates or mats are located between the guides of the crates. The step of the guides is initially set to 10 ÷ 20 mm less than the width of the insulation - so it will enter the niche intended for him. Folation density is usually that it is possible that the insulation can be fixed with brackets for the aluminum layer. The joints are necessarily sampled by foil scotch, to observe the effect of hydropara insulation. A 20 ÷ 25 mm of air gap is left between the insulation and the wall covering the wall (ceiling).

The mineral wool insulation is produced and in the form of collapsible cylinders or semi-cylinders - these products are excellent for thermal insulation of pipelines.

The heat resistance of mineral foil wool allows it to be used for additional thermal insulation of boilers, boilers, accumulative tanks, other heat engineers.

Polystyrene foam mats with foil

Not so often, but still one species of foil insulation is also used. We are talking about plates (mats) from polystyrene foam with aluminum foil with one of the sides.

Such products can be issued with single mats or rolls for several meters made sectionally, by type of tractor caterpillar.

The main purpose of such insulation foil materials is thermal insulation of floors, both independent and in the "warm floor" system. The aluminum foil layer reflects the heat stream upward, to warm the finishing coating, so that expensive energy is not spent on the heating of massive slabs of overlapping or black floor laid on the soil.

Fastening the "warm floor" pipe to mat

Better better mats made of extruded polystyrene. Its elevated density makes the material resistant to fairly significant mechanical loads, which is particularly important when furnacely.

In the conclusion of the review, it is necessary to make one very important remark. All the listed advantages of foil insulation will be valid only if the material is high-quality. The fact is that some unscrupulous manufacturers are limited to the application of a thin aluminized spraying. This is not fooling, although externally materials can be similar. A thin pompaled layer is not capable of properly reflect the thermal flow - infrared radiation for the most part will pass through it. And the obstacle to penetrate moisture and water vapor such a "decorative" brilliant layer will not be.

views, features, pros and cons

When preparing for work on thermal insulation, the house arises the question of choosing the optimal insulation. For an intense person, it is not easy for an intense person to determine the large variety of thermal insulation materials. That is why, going to buy, you need to prepare in advance: clarify the features of this or that insulation and the scope of its use, technical characteristics, etc.

Comfortable temperature in the house is often provided using porous or fibrous materials having a low thermal conductivity. However, insulation, working on another principle, on the reflectivity of the mirror surface began to acquire increasing popularity. This is how foil thermal insulation works, which today is considered the most efficient.

What is thermal insulation with foil

This is a combined insulation, which in addition to the base base with low thermal conductivity, has a folling layer of very thin, about 20-30 Å (angstrom) polished aluminum foil. This component ensures the maximum effect of reflection of infrared rays, in fact, heat - up to 97%, and the base layer "takes over" the remaining 3%. Thus, heat remains in the room.

Types of insulation

Foil thermal insulation has a variety of output - in the form of rolls, mat, tiles, cylinders used mainly for pipe heat insulation, and dimensions. They differ in other parameters.

View of the base layer.

polyethylene foamed
mineral or basalt wool;
polystyrene foam.

Folging technology insulation. Aluminum foil for thermal insulation can be glued or sprayed, have a perforation or not.

Specialists advise you to choose heat insulation with a glued layer of foil. Spray reflective insulation is not as effective due to the too low thickness of the resulting layer, although more resistant to the effects of the external environment.

The number of reflective layers. In some types of thermal insulation, the foil can be applied from one or both sides, on others there is a glue layer, that is, besides that, such thermal insulation reflects, it can be laid straight to the surface without a device of the crate. These insulation are labeled, respectively, A, B and C.

On a note

Since self-adhesive foil thermal insulation is quite flexible, it can be used for laying at the corners, as well as on uneven surfaces. Samping the docking seams of thermal insulators fooled by scotch, you can achieve their complete tightness.

Purpose. Foil coating thermal insulation materials are used both as the main heat insulation and optional.

For those who are going to buy heat insulation, we note that the price of the foil insulation is formed depending on the parameters such as:

basic material;
aluminum foil thickness;
height of the heat insulating layer;
the number of reflective screens.

Advantages and disadvantages

Foil has an excellent ability to maximally reflect heat radiation. On the one hand, it retains heat in the room, on the other - does not let the heat inside, that is, inside the "thermos effect" is created.
The additional layer of foil increases wear resistance of isolation.
It has hydrophobic properties, so in some cases it can replace waterproofing.
Insulation of this group have a small mass, easily cut and installed. Moreover, if it is necessary to dismantle it and use again in the same or elsewhere.

They are insulated as much as possible from external influences: the wind does not let, resistant to critical temperatures, significantly reduce the noise level coming outside and so on.
Such isolation serves a long time, it does not rot and is not covered with mold.
It is much thinner than ordinary insulation, but much more efficiently and allows you to save energy consumption to 25-30 percent.
The foil layer not only does not create problems for human health, but also becomes a barrier on the path of the smallest particles of the base, which can penetrate the space of the room.

Of the minuses of insulation with foil, we note the exposure to aluminum to gradual corrosion. The reflecting layer over time begins to curly, which leads to some weakening of its main reflective qualities.

These materials are manufactured on the basis of foam polyethylene for special technology. The height of the insulation layer may be the most different starting from very thin 2 mm to relatively thick and 15 mm. As a rule, this rolled foil thermal insulation. Materials are thoroughly supplied in the form of sheets having a standard size.
The thickness of the foil foil layer is 10 ÷ 15 microns.
The technical and performance characteristics of the insulation depend on the species of the source material:

Inexpensive brands produced from conventional polyethylene, subjected to a multiple foaming process. The result becomes a closed porous gas-filled structure of a new material. These insulation have a significant drawback - this is a tendency to a gradual shrinkage due to low resistance to mechanical loads.
"Stitched" polyethylene (so-called insulation based on PPE) has better strength indicators. Transverse links at the molecular level provide resistance to mechanical loads.

They have a slightly higher density. Moreover, when dynamic impact is terminated, the material "tries" to restore the original form.

On a note

Some types of foil polyethylene foam have an additional reinforcing layer of fiberglass mesh.

The construction market presents a wide range of heat-insulating materials based on foamed polyethylene. Among them are the most demanded foil foam, isolon, pholoisol and others.

The insulation canvas laid jack and fix to the surface, for example, using a construction steppeller. In principle, you can use any other way. The main thing is that at the same time, the integrity of foil is not very affected. Then the docking seam is punctured by foil scotch.

Use of use

Used in the role of an additional either the main thermal insulating layer with a floor device, which at the same time acts as waterproofing. Foil part when laying should look up, toward the finish coating.

It perfectly copes with thermal insulation of walls, as well as ceilings in rooms, the dimensions of which do not allow the use of insulation of greater thickness, for example, on a narrow balcony (loggia). Fasten the material with a foil surface inside the room.
It is used for the insulation of roofing rods both independent material and optional to others. And in that, in another case, it is fastened with a reflective surface inside the indoors of the attic and feed on it a crate under the trim.
With it, it is equipped with thermal insulation of the bath. Simultaneously with the insulation of the bath from the inside (ceiling, walls), the question of the pair-hydro insulation is solved - the protection of the plating from the conversion. For critical temperatures, as, let's say, this material is not very suitable in the pair, as it is operated in a limited television range.

Fungalized Minvata.

Minvata itself has very high thermal insulation characteristics. Folation, firstly, further increases the effectiveness of insulation, and secondly, this is an additional way to protect the hygroscopic material from the penetration of excess moisture and steam, which is extremely negatively affected by its operational qualities.

For sale, the material comes in the form of compressed rolls, sectional or individual plates, cylinders and semi-cylinders.

Application

When thermally insulation, the roof material is placed in the interconnection space is sufficiently tight enough to not formed the bridges of the cold.
Folation density is usually enough to make the reflective layer on the brackets. The joints are definitely sick with foil scotch. This will help ensure the effect of hydrocariozing.

The maximum operating temperature of this material is more than 300˚, so it is more than some other suitable for the insulation of the bath. Some experts even consider it the main destination. Insulating plates or mats are located between guides laid in increments, which is less than the width of thermal insulation. Mandatory is the presence of an air gap A 20-25 mm, which is left between the heat insulation layer and the walls of the walls and the ceiling.
The heat resistance of minvati with foil makes it possible to use it for additional warming of boilers, boilers and other similar devices.
Collapsible cylindrical or semi-cylindrical thermal insulation materials from foil mineral wool are suitable for insulation of pipelines.

Foil polystyrene foam

This is a solid thermoplastic obtained as a result of fusion of polystyrene granules, with aluminum foil one of the sides. This is a strong material, resistant to significant mechanical impacts and high humidity. It does not rot, biologically stable. Keeps its characteristics in the temperature range ranging from -180˚ to 180˚.

Material is often used when laying a warm floor. To facilitate this process on the plates in the factory conditions, markup is applied. When laying insulation, the foil layer reflects the heat flux up, warming up the finish coating.

Heater with foil: species and application

The folgized insulation is a relatively new thermal insulation combination material, which, from one or two sides, is coated with a layer of polished foil with an aluminum layer or a metallized polypropylene film. Due to the allyum component of the coating, this product can reflect and maintain heat in the room, and the effect of reflection reaches up to 97%.

Heater with Foil: Application

The scope of its use is sufficiently diverse. Insulation with foil used for:

Insulating pipes of thermal networks.
Healing pipes in engineering networks of the building of hot and cold water supply.
Thermal insulation of air ducts, ventilation channels.
Technical insulation of technological equipment.
Thermal insulation of walls and gender in residential and public premises.
Soundproofing of an inter-storey coating.

Varieties of foil insulation

The foil insulation is currently produced in four main types, which are different between themselves not only in appearance, functional features, but also on the scope of application.

Fungalized insulation, the basis of which is foamed polyethylene. As a rule, this is the most efficient heat insulator. This multilayer material is sold in the form of fine rolls of a material covered with an aluminum layer. This insulation with foil (the name of the other is a foam) can have a glue layer in order to provide the convenience and reliability of fastening to the surface. It is mainly used for the insulation of the floor, roofs, walls, ventilation system. In addition, this material is quite effective for conducting insulation of pipes, air ducts. It has good elasticity, vapor-and waterproofing, heat-stained and sound insulation, high depreciable properties, resistance to biological pests and chemical impacts.
Foil material, the base of which is mineral wool. This unique insulation with foil is produced in the form of rolls (mats), plates and cylinders. Its base is mineral wool. This environmentally friendly, durable and non-combustible material is used for all types of insulation. Perfect for insulation saunas, insulation baths, roofing, chimneys.
Fungalized polystyrene foam or insulation with foil, whose name is isol or pholoisol. Used for insulation of a warm water floor system and heating. Such a heater with foil refers to a solid heat-insulating material that retains its properties at a temperature of -180 ° C - + 180 ° C.
Basalt thermal insulation insulation with foil. It is applied in different sectors of thermal power engineering, in housing, industry, in aircraft enterprise, as well as for the construction of a gas station. This material is non-combustible and able to withstand the temperature -200˚C + 700˚C. It has a higher resistance to aggressive environmental impacts.

General characteristics of foil insulation

The material is stable with a large temperature range.
Does not absorb moisture and has good reflection resistance.
It has high heat, vapor and waterproofing indicators.
Environmentally friendly material that does not emit any toxic and hazardous substances.
Installation is quite simple and fast. Even the unprofessional will be able to correctly perform the installation, for which it will only be enough to use a very simple instruction.
It has excellent sound insulation characteristics.

The insulation for the bath with foil is good in that in addition to isolation, it can still serve as an additional reflector of thermal energy. This material enjoys the greatest demand and popularity in the construction of Parims and the washing offices.

The main and greatest drawback of this insulation is that the foil is subject to corrosion.

Installation of foil insulation

The installation of the material is performed by the reflecting side inside the room. This allows you to reflect and maintain heat. The insulation of the jack is attached, and not a mustache, thanks to which the costs of construction are significantly reduced. For fixing, use a building stapler or nails of a small size.

Between the finish and the insulation material, the gap is about 12-25 mm, which contributes to additional heat and offshore. Visible joints glue with a special aluminum (foil) tape. Installation work completed.

How to choose a foil insulation

The price of any foil insulation is commensurate with the cost of alternative competitors with similar heat insulating characteristics. However, with the help of a heater with a foil, it is possible to save on factors such as installation time and space (insulation with foil thinner than normal), as well as get environmentally friendly and refractory material that is used for thermal insulation of absolutely any objects. Stoping your choice when buying follows the insulation, which is covered with aluminum foil, and not by spraying, since it is most likely to work.

Infrared radiation easily passes through most of the heaters. The thermal insulation for pipes with foil has a high reflectivity and retains heat much more efficient than materials without a protective layer.

According to the average data, the building in the winter loses from 40% to 70% of thermal energy. Heat losses occur in three reasons: due to the high thermal conductivity of the pipe material, due to convection and due to infrared radiation. Heat transmission can be stopped by the reflection method.

You can purchase a foil insulation for pipes, and you can wrap the heat insulating layer in the foil itself. Such a heater is sold either in rolls or in the form of hollow tubes. Foil is placed face outside. It is important to provide a gap of 1-2 cm between the foil and the pipeline. The disadvantages of foil is its fragility and exposure to aggressive substances. The upper protective layer skips about 10% of energy.

Selection of insulation

Insulation (polyurethane foam, fiberglass, foam, mineral wool, polyethylene foamed) can be coated with a metallized film or aluminum foil with one or on both sides.

Mineral wool covered with a layer of foil is the easiest option. The thickness of the reflective surface is from 10 to 30 μm, the thickness of the wool is up to 5 cm. The foil foil has increased strength. Foil with foamed polyethylene is more fragile, can be deformed under the action of external forces. The advantage of such a heater is vapor permeability. Basalt thermal insulation is similar to mineral wool, but heavier, as it has a greater density. Indelible ease of use gives thermal insulation with self-adhesive base. If the foil is damaged in some place, aluminum tape can be used. It will be needed when docking parts of the material.

Lovevian film and polyethylene foam with foil can pass infrared radiation. Therefore, you should choose a film with a thick foil layer. Reference NPE-LF, Penofol 2000, Bestisol, EcoFol - the most popular brands of foil tube insulation. Air layer inside polyethylene foam and upper polished layer allow us to apply materials not only in industry, but also in private homes. The thickness of such insulation usually does not exceed 1 cm. Quality guarantee applies only to materials that have been certified.

Why a foil insulation is the right choice?

The material can be used at ambient temperature -60 ° .. + 150 °.
Parry permeability: 0.001% (foil almost misses couples). Water absorption: 0.74% per day.
Easy installation, low cost, environmental friendliness, good waterproofing properties, ability to absorb noise and extinguish vibrations in ventilation systems.
Creating the effect of the "thermos".
Easy installation and environmental material.

Lack of foil: high thermal conductivity. That is why it is not separately used, but together with traditional insulation.

Heat insulation for pipes with foil

Heating and sewage

Rockwool cylinders are the best solution for heating pipes, ventilation channels, air conditioners and sewer pipes. This flexible folgized insulation for pipes is resistant to chemical stimuli and easy to install. The casing covered with the protective layer is durable and durable.

First cut out the desired length of the segment. Segments are joined close to each other.
Then, 2 fastenings are installed on each segment with a distance of 500 mm between them.
For vertical sections, the retainer rings are used, which do not give cylinders to slip over time.
For curved pipes, the cylinder is trimmed by trying on the pipe.

Technical heat insulation - hollow cylinders made of stone wool and coated with layer aluminum foil. It is intended for insulation of thermal networks, industrial pipelines. Have a longitudinal cut for the maximum simple installation.

Chimney

The warming of the chimney is necessary to create a good thrust. The heatbarrier warns the formation of condensate, which means that protects the chimney from the destruction.

Learn how to make a tube-case for the iron chimney from the foil. You will need mineral wool (suitable Rockwool matte), foil and fasteners.

Unlock roll, separate the desired segment using the secaterator.
Using fasteners and wire, wrap the pipe insulation.
Top over all aluminum foil and pull the clamps. Instead of mineral wool, you can use any other non-combustible material.

Pipe insulation EnergoFlex

It has its strengths and weaknesses. Benefits include strength, moisture resistance, immunity to temperature differences. The material does not cause difficulties when installing, has a small weight. The layer thickness can be from 9 to 13 mm, length - up to two meters. Suitable for pipelines with a diameter of 18 to 160 mm. Flexible material can be laid on areas with complex geometry.

EnergoFlex does not need additional turnover of rubberoid. The disadvantages are the high cost and the inability to establish it where the temperature of the pipeline operating environment exceeds 100 °.

If you buy a roll insulation, make sure that it is designed for pipes.
Hard material in the form of semicircles has a size that allows you to put it on a pipe of a particular diameter.
Between the wall and aluminum foil, you need to withstand a distance of 2.5 cm.
The price of the insulation affects both the thickness of the reflective layer and the base material.
There is a significant difference between aluminum spraying and aluminum foil. In the first case, the heat insulator will work less efficiently, its reflectivity is small.

Advantages of using a foil insulation for heating pipes - theory and proven practice

The need for thermal insulation of engineering communications occurs often. So that when moving hot water from the source of its heating to the final consumer, there was no heat loss, the pipeline insulation should be carried out using a material as a material, for example, a heater for pipes with foil.

As practice shows, heat loss in the absence of insulation can reach 20 percent. In order to optimize the efficiency of the heating structure, it is necessary to warm the highway for which the coolant is transported. This work can be performed independently, not attracting specialists. At the same time, various materials are used, among which are liquid insulation, polyurethane foam (abbreviated PPU), mineral wool, foam.

The need for heating pipe insulation

Heat energy due to the high cost of energy carriers, it is necessary to use rationally, which means it is heated only the premises that are required. If not insulated pipes pass through a non-residential zone, for example, an attic or a basement, then heat is not consigned. This circumstance leads to a decrease in the performance of the heating system and increase the cost of purchasing fuel.

The insulation of the outer portion of the heat injection leads to a decrease in the probability of the freezing of the coolant in the event of a sharp decrease in temperature on the street. True, the freezing of the heat supply design is unlikely, but the plugs may appear.

For this reason, the insulation of the pipeline laid outside the building is a prerequisite for the operation of both internal and external sections of the heating system. A properly chosen insulation thickness will be able to protect the elements of the heating system from various kinds of damage, serious breakdowns and corrosive processes.

Selection of materials

There is a large range of insulating materials for heat supply mains. To make the right purchase, it is necessary to take into account the features of the room, its parameters and technical coverage of the heating system.

The main factors affecting the choice of insulation:

the location of the pipeline to isolate;
the temperature of the coolant moving through the pipes;
characteristics of the heating line;
the main properties of materials intended for the insulation of the pipeline.

When choosing, first of all, the following operational characteristics of insulation are taken into account:

heat resistance;
thermal conductivity;
fire safety;
moisture resistance;
thickness;
resistance to rotting and exposure to microorganisms;
cost of installation work.

By purchasing materials for insulation of pipes, it must be remembered that, the smaller the thermal conductivity, the higher the thermal insulation indicators. The degree of moisture resistance is reflected on the quality of protection of metal pipelines from corrosion processes and condensate formation.

Fire resistance of thermal insulators must comply with fireproof requirements for heated premises. To calculate the thickness of the material used, special formulas are used.

Variety of insulation for pipelines

In order to obtain the maximum effect from the insulation of the heating system, it is necessary to determine the choice of material for pipes, laid in the apartment, in the attic or in the basement. This product is solid piece, soft rolled and liquid. When buying, the parameters of the pipeline are taken into account in order to properly select the size of the piece products.

All types of thermal insulation materials used for heating pipes can perform their functions due to the presence of air in them, and their difference is in the convenience of installation work.

The most easily performed method of insulation is the thermal insulation, which called the "shell". It is produced in the form of semi-cylinders. Installation is performed by combining halves through grooves. As a result, the desired result is provided when the pipe is insulated in the basement or attic room.

The following pipelines insulation are most in demand: mineral wool or fiberglass, isolation for pipes with foil, foamed polyethylene, polyurethane foam, expanded polystyrene, foamizole.

PPU insulation for heating systems

Material for insulation of pipes from polyurethane foam happens:

In the first case, the mounting foam is used for isolation of small pipelines in extreme cases.

To apply PPU spraying, special equipment will be required and a 4-atmospheric compensator. The insulation is strongly connected to the surface of the pipes. But this material poorly tolerates the effect of ultraviolet, so it needs to be protected by winding or aluminum foil. When applying a spraying it is necessary to use overalls.

The rigid view of the insulation of the PPU is distinguished by strength and at the same time ease, a slight thermal conductivity coefficient and is used for individual contours. It should be noted from its advantages that it has an increased resistance to moisture. Material is environmentally friendly and absolutely non-toxic. It is mounted around the pipeline similarly "shell".

Foilized insulators for heating systems

If necessary, make a decision regarding the material with the best choice will be the use of insulation for foil pipes. The thermal insulation is considered effective if it allows not only to maintain heat, but also reflect it. In this case, it is preferable to use materials with aluminum foil.

This polished material has so high reflecting characteristics, which makes it possible to maintain the temperature of the coolant and hold on the maximum value of the efficiency of the heating structure. The fact is that in this case the flow of thermal energy comes from pipes, reflected back.

In addition, the foil insulation for heating pipes does not miss the cold-reaching cold and demonstrates excellent hydro and vaporizolation. In the process of its manufacture, the main thermal insulation material is applied on the foil layer - they can be polystyrene foam, foamed polyethylene or minvat.

This type of thermal insulation of different thicknesses for pipelines passing through residential premises, a basement or attic, produced in the form of "shell", plates, rolls, mats, canvas.

The tubular folgized insulation can be operated at ambient temperature in the range from - 60 ° C and to + 150 ° C, so it is involved in the arrangement of external heating parts. Since the foil for insulation tubes has a high degree of thermal conductivity, it is not used separately.

The use of foil thermal insulation for pipes

According to experts, the easiest way to heat insulation pipelines in the basement is considered to be the use of minvati, which is covered with a foil layer, while the thickness of the wool reaches 50 millimeters, and the reflective layer is 10-30 microns.

Before proceeding to the insulation of pipes in the attic or in the basement, you need to explore the conditions of operation of materials. For example, foil with foamed polyethylene differs fragility and deformation is subject to external influences. The strength indicators can be enhanced by prefering to heat insulation with foil for pipes and foam.

In turn, the basalt insulation has a lot of common characteristics with the Minvata, but it is heavier because it has a greater density.

It is convenient to install self-adhesive isolation. If the foil is damaged, aluminum tape is used. Lovevian film with foil and polyethylene not reflect infrared radiation, so such a material must have a significant thickness of the foil layer.

The main nuances of the use of thermal insulators

Before buying a rolled insulation for heat supply pipes, it is necessary to make sure that its operational indicators can use this material under an attic or basement.

When the insulation is characterized by rigidity and made in the form of a semicircle, it can be used for pipe products of a certain diameter. Between the wall and aluminum foil need to leave a distance of 25 millimeters.

The cost of the thermal insulator affects the thickness of the reflecting layer and the material from which its base is made. There is a significant difference between aluminum foil and aluminum spraying. The last option makes the functioning of the heat insulator less effective with a minor reflective ability.

It is not necessary to buy insulation tubular foil industrial production. You can independently wrap the layer with a foil heat insulation pipe if the pipeline is laid in an attic or basement room. Such material is made in rolls or in the form of hollow tubes.

Foil is placed face upside down. Between the foil layer and the pipeline you need to leave a gap equal to 10 -20 millimeters.

Independent installation of thermal insulation

Work on the isolation of heating pipes using thermal insulating polytolmine shell is performed as follows:

Half of the material is worn onto the pipe and ensure their offset relative to each other - it is required for overhearsow the size of 10 -20 centimeters.
Semi-cylinders should be copied in advance with the help of tape. If you need to apply a surface protective layer, it is fixed at the very end.
So that the shell is more reliably adjacent to the pipeline, the connection location must be glued with scotch.
When it is necessary to isolate the heating pipes on the rotations of the highway, the shaped types of shell are used.

In many ways, the choice of materials for the insulation of the elements of the heating system depends on the conditions of operation of the heating main and its construction device. Work on the insulation is simple and, if desired, can perform any home master.

Heater for pipes Foil: Heat insulation with foil for heating pipes, insulation, insulation

Foil insulation: types and properties. Preparation of the wall, installation and fasteners

To date, foil thermal insulation for pipes is a fairly new type of material and work, which, however, are increasingly popular, both in the environment of professional builders and among the simple alone, which will solve independently conducting insulation in the house.

For which you can use the material

The insulation is easily used in many thermal insulation works, in our case it can be:

Heat insulation of floors all over the house, including in cold rooms.
Thermal insulation of various heating equipment.
Work on noise insulation and thermal insulation of walls and partitions.
Thermal insulation of the roof and especially attic.

Foil on the roof

The properties of the material make it possible to use it to increase the heat transfer of the radiator indoors, for this purpose it is enough to place a sheet of material behind the radiator, and the volume of thermal energy will increase.

In which types of rooms fit foil material

In addition to the fact that we can perfectly warm the residential premises, the material is suitable for:

Full warmth and noise insulation of various rooms with engineering communications.
The insulation of the pipeline and the air duct in the boiler room.
Works in premises with high, and most importantly, with constant humidity, these are baths and saunas.
Hallway and corridor, where perfectly insulates the front door and levels heat loss.

Features of the material

First of all, we consider the components of the material, because foil heat isolate, it is a layered and combined material, which includes:

It is precisely the moment of combining these materials to one and gives us the opportunity to use all the magnificent heat-insulating properties of the foil material. We give simple figures that fully prove the high efficiency of the use of material in any thermal insulation purposes - thermal energy is reflected in the room with an indicator of 97% efficiency!

One layer of our material can replace the 15-centimeter brick wall, according to heat transfer resistance.

And if we translate all this into the area, we definitely save several squares of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.

In addition, this product has water-repellent properties, this is possible due to the cellular material structure. As a result, it is possible to avoid the formation of condensate, in other words, by purchasing material we buy and vaporizolation. As we said above, one of the premises where we can use isolation foil is a sauna or bath.

Structure of foil heat insulator

High sound insulation provides material with great popularity not only in household conditions.

And, of course, foil isolation, it is also a high level of environmental friendliness, which is important today. It has no harmful effect on the body.

Insulation in two types:

In sheets, which is convenient for small rooms.
In rolls.

Types of foil material

Today, several types of material are presented on the market, and each has its own features and scope of application.

The material is covered with a metallized film.
Foil layer.
Material based on basalt.

Material with metallized coating has excellent thermal conductivity indicators, but cannot be used in rooms with high humidity. Corrosion, which is subject to any metal coating, exclude this type of use in baths, saunas, bathrooms.

The material covered with foil can be used absolutely in any rooms. It works especially well on enclosing structures, and this in turn allows to reduce heating costs in the winter. Moreover, air ducts, and especially pipelines at sufficiently low temperatures require insulation.

Heavy insulator shells for pipes

But if we need good protection in the risk of fire engineering networks, the foil basalt thermal insulation is ideal, which and thermal losses reduce at times!

An important point is always the fact that the material is not affected by the aggressive medium, biological infection, the fungus and mold appear on it. Here it is also possible to note its durability, and the service life is calculated by decades!

This is the best thermal insulation for foil pipes, convenient, easily mounted and fully protecting them in the cold season from freezing and excessive thermal energy loss.

Combination of properties in basalt wad

The type of foil material based on basalt wool is also interesting because the aluminum foil and wool complement each other's features.

Beautiful insulation based on basalt wool

The foil has a reflective surface and moisture permeability, which protects cotton from moisture from entering, and wool ensures the fastening of the entire design of the material.

Installation work is quite simple, besides there is an instruction that, and what is going on in order, but first let's talk about the instrument.

So, we will need:

Preparation of the Wall

In order to ensure proper work with foil material, we need to provide a small gap between the insulation and the wall. We take into account that the material is completely moistureproof, and therefore condensate will be formed.

Installation and fasteners

We fix the guide strips on the wall, 1-2 cm thick, the insulation itself is already fastened. If this is a roll, then the principle of operation will be the same as with the blending of wallpaper.

Fresh insulation with the help of a bracket or special nails, the joints carefully glue with special foil scotch. You can purchase a little more than necessary, the benefit of the price allows, and the residues can always be used in the insulation of pipes.

Butt necessarily sample

In principle, in the work on installation there is absolutely nothing complicated, the main thing is to remember that the reflective surface of the foil should be directed inside the room, because it is precisely the essence of the reflection of heat!

Undoubtedly, this material is a great way to maintain heat in the house and significantly reduce heat loss. However, its use becomes several times more efficient if work in the complex and with external thermal insulation are carried out.

Features of insulation with foil when buying

Let's consider the types of foil thermal insulation depending on raw materials, its main advantages and nuances of the right choice. Depending on the main thermal insulation material used in production, the foil technician joint is divided into:

Basaltova - A real bestseller for sales in the mineral wool insulation market with a reflective metallized coating made of basalt rocks. Natural foil insulation, the price in Moscow which is only available in our price list, has a whole set of advantages. The main pluses of technical insulation include high fire resistance, ecological purity, durability (serves at least 50 years), the stability of parameters during operation.

Fiberglass - Made from the waste of glass industry, quartz sand and binder, therefore it has a reasonable price. The cost of foil thermal insulation up to 3 times lower than a basalt analogue. The insulator has excellent thermal insulating and acoustic properties, low weight and convenience in mounting.

Polystyrene foam - Made of extruded polystyrene. Such tech isolation is absolutely not afraid of direct contact with moisture and is indispensable when the heat-mall system under the concrete tie. Energy-efficient, practical and simple in laying - all these properties combined the polystyrene heat insulator for the floor with a foil. The price of products depends on the thickness and modification of the heat insulator.

Polyethylene - made of foamed polyethylene from 2 to 10 mm thick. You can buy a foil insulation in Moscow in compact rolls that are convenient for transportation. It is characterized by minimal thermal conductivity, zero water absorption and is an ideal solution for a warm floor device under a screed, insulation of water supply and sewage pipes.

Rubber - Produced on the basis of foamed rubber with adhesive layer on the mounting side. Resistance to high temperatures, moisture, chemical reagents, ultraviolet, durability and convenience in mounting - all this is an elastomer self-adhesive insulation with foil. The price of products allows you to save on purchasing and installing an additional reflective layer.

The installation of thermal insulation for pipes with foil can be made in one approach, while the installation of a separate tech-insulation and the heat transfer surface will increase the complexity and the cost of heat-insulating operations by 2 times.

The main minus of the puff cake from thermal insulation and foil will be bundle and rustling at the slightest wind and draft. If you use the finished foil tube thermal insulator of factory production with a firmly glued reflective layer, you can avoid unpleasant situations.

Special construction skills will not need to mount the self-adhesive foil insulation. The price of insulation with the finished adhesive layer is slightly higher than the analogues without it, but will save on the operation of the mounting brigade, since it can be installed independently.

How to choose perfect isolation with foil?

Choose technical isolation in Moscow, "cracked" in foil on both sides. So you relieve yourself from the dilemma, which side to put a foil insulation on the floor or other surfaces.
Try to buy In Moscow, the insulation follicate for pipes and techniques with a high-quality foil layer, and not just aluminum spraying, otherwise there will be no reflection of infrared rays.
Pay attention to the degree of polishing, which directly affects the reflective properties of aluminum. The higher the parameter, the more heat will reflect the insulation tube follicate from its surface.

The heat insulation of heating pipes is no less important than the thermal insulation of the basement, walls, or the roof of the building. The main reason for this is an uninterrupted flow of water in the cold season, so it is simply necessary to warm the plumbing.

How is the correct thermal insulation of heating pipes?

Depending on the material used, thermal insulation for pipes is featured by the structure and technology of production.

The selection and installation of pipe thermal insulation is only an experienced specialist. Otherwise, over time, it will be necessary to redo the work done again.

To ensure a long period of operation of the pipeline, it is always necessary to take into account the climatic conditions in which the heating or plumbing networks will be operated, and trust the installation of the material only by professionals.

The thermal insulation of water supply pipes is the most important stage of creating water supply or sewage systems. The correct thermal insulation of pipes guarantees the normal functioning of the pipeline even during the cold season. Hurry and savings on the insulation leads to the need for regular repairs.

For thermal insulation of pipelines, only high-quality materials should be chosen. It is also necessary to take into account that it is important not only to protect the pipe from the influence of cold, but also to protect against corrosion by creating an anti-corrosion layer.

It should be remembered that the thermal insulation of pipes must be different for a long service life in order not to have a need for a frequent replacement. Depending on the passage of the pipeline (external or underground), different types of thermal insulation of pipes are used.

For the use of indoors, the optimal use of Rockwool thermal insulation cylinders. Products from a well-known manufacturer possesses high quality and unique properties. High requirements for products of technical insulation, it is allowed today to be rocular cylinders of № 1. They are made of mineral wool on a synthetic binder 1 meter long. There may be different diameters from 19 to 273 mm. Thickness of hollow products can be 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 mm. Cylinders can be made with an additional coating of aluminum foil.

For external use, mineral wool cylinders can also be used, but followed by shelter in the form of protective shells. They protect the products from atmospheric precipitation and deterioration of thermal insulation. It is also possible to use mineral woeful mats of those mat and Vaeur Mat.

Thermal insulation for pipes can be performed with PPU shells or polystyrene foam shells. For use in Earth, this is the most common isolation option. In any case, all the necessary measures to protect pipes are recommended to produce strictly on the project in which these or other materials required for isolation are prescribed.

The heat insulation of heating pipes is a reliable protection of pipes. The effectiveness of the work of the heat-insulating material is dependent on the thermal insulation material, because without it, heat losses occur, especially in winter. All this is reflected in the wallets of our citizens.

Acceptable prices for insulation pipelines

Today it is possible to buy thermal insulation for pipes at various prices. Choosing one or another material, the buyer is often wondering what the price of insulation for the pipeline depends. The answer to the question is simple.

The cost of the material affects the following:

√ country manufacturer - Import is always more expensive, compared with the domestic product, although they are the same in quality;
√ the density of the material is the more denser, the more expensive;
√ heat insulation thickness;
√ the ratio "insulation of pipelines - the price" is completely dependent on the structural material;
√ wholesale purchase is always cheaper than retail sale.

However, buying thermal insulation for pipes, only one product should be chosen, which is optimally suitable for data, specific operating conditions. In this case, by paying once, the buyer will enjoy the smooth operation of the pipeline for a long time.
