The thickness of the insulation plaster to be applied in the project varies according to the heat zone of the project, the wall elements and the architectural project. It is determined according to the insulation calculation.
Our acoustic product is applied on both surfaces of the wall and on the floor covering, in a total thickness of 5 cm, With 55 db sound insulation, it provides the necessary sound insulation and comfort.
WERNER Insulation plasters contain volcanic rocks of different sizes, fossil-characterized sedimentary rocks, special expanded perlite performance materials and raw materials using hydraulic industrial mines as binders.
Since it is a fireproof A1 class product, it can be used safely in high-rise buildings as FIREPROOF INSULATION. It continues to perform throughout the life of the structure.
It is light and environmentally friendly. There is no gas emission.
Insulation should be considered as a whole. For this reason, thermal insulation should be done in all building components (roof, wall, floor, floor, console, glass and joinery). A thermal insulation to be made only on the northern façade does not provide sufficient thermal insulation due to the excess heat losses, heat losses continue in the building, and the annual heating (winter) and cooling (summer) energy needs do not decrease sufficiently.
In thermal insulation, external thermal insulation (sheathing) is more efficient. In this way, the outer shell of the building is insulated from external weather conditions like a mantle, and it also benefits from the heat storage capacity of the building envelope (walls and bearing elements). Therefore, since the heat distribution is equal at every point in the interior of the building, unwanted air currents are eliminated and thermal comfort conditions are achieved. In addition, once the building is heated, even if the heating system is turned off, the building elements continue to give their heat to the indoor environment and the indoor environments get colder later. In addition, with jacketing, the risk of condensation on the building bearing elements under the abrasive effect of external weather conditions is eliminated and the formation of thermal bridges is prevented. Internal insulation should be preferred in places that are not used continuously (conference hall, cinema, theater, etc.) when temporary rapid heating is required.
When it comes to sheathing in our country, the first thing that comes to mind is more economical and comfortable heating in winter. However, sheathing is a very effective and necessary application in summer for protection from the cold as well as from the heat. It is a known fact that cooling costs even surpass heating costs in some regions.
The most effective method to eliminate the excess of heat energy experienced in the summer, to increase the comfort of life and to provide economy is to have thermal insulation. While south-facing living spaces are an advantage in winter, this situation is reversed in summer and in non-insulated buildings, more discomfort comes to the fore in south-facing living spaces. However, without neglecting the space, it can be eliminated with a suitable sheathing application and heat insulated windows.
Increasing the glass thickness does not contribute to thermal insulation, but contributes to insulated (double glass, low-e glass) thermal insulation. Insulated glasses, which are formed by combining two glasses in factory conditions with an air gap between them, can reduce heat losses by half compared to single glasses.
In a building, thermal insulation should be applied to the floor and roof along with all the facades. Contrary to popular belief, heat losses or gains are caused not only by the façade but also by the heat transmitted from the roof and floor. Since the floor of the building is a reinforced concrete element, the floor acts as a thermal bridge and transmits the heat drawn from the columns of the building to the ground quickly, causing heat loss. On the other hand, since the heated air in the building rises to the attic in accordance with the law of physics, heat losses from the roof are also high. Instead of laying flat slabs between floors, building elements that will provide insulation should be used, and the attic floors should be insulated from the floor or rafter level. In addition, the windows must be correctly selected as joinery and double glazing according to the climate zone.
If the interiors of the building are humid not only in rainy days but also in cold weather, and if there are swelling, mold, odor and similar formations as a result, this is because there is no thermal insulation. In buildings without thermal insulation, when the cold air coming from outside and the hot air inside meet on the wall section, the water vapor in the indoor air condenses and turns into water on the wall in the form of particles, and what we call condensation occurs.
This is just like the condensation that occurs on car windows in winter and is caused by a temperature difference. After the cracks and damaged areas on the outer shell of the building are repaired with watertight materials, this problem can be easily solved with external thermal insulation.
Insulation is not an expense, but an investment that contributes to health, comfort and environmental cleanliness. The cost of thermal insulation is between 3% and 5% of the building construction cost. It should not be forgotten that it should be perceived as an investment that pays for itself by reducing the heating and cooling costs by at least half, and then provides savings and comfort by making the consumer spend less for a lifetime.
