A typical example is represented by "thermal bridges", that is those parts of a residential structure that have an identifiable thermal imbalance in correspondence with the pillars, corridors, horizontal beams and, above all, in the corners. You too may have seen how in many cases they are among the most neglected parts of a home. However, when you notice them, it is often too late to intervene adequately. In fact, these, corners and extreme parts of the rooms, are the points in which condensation and therefore molds are most easily formed. Hence the need to intervene in advance on these points of the premises to ensure a healthy environment. How, it is clearly understood: through adequate isolation. But not just the perimeter walls, as often happens: it is not enough! To avoid the possibility of thermal bridges forming, there must be perfect continuity of the insulation between the perimeter wall, its roof and its substrate. This is why the safest and most radical intervention is to build additional masonry and interpose a thermal insulator in the middle. However, a good kappotto insulation could be more than enough to guarantee the same result, especially along and under the curbs of the slabs, around the beams and pillars. Naturally, it is recommended not to neglect that part of the house from which it is easier for heat or cold to enter, that is, the roof; otherwise a part of the benefits obtained through the insulation of the walls and the relative thermal bridges would be canceled out. This is because the most damaging thermal bridges are created precisely along the eaves, in the intrados and in the extrados, in particular of reinforced concrete roofs, but the wooden ones where the load-bearing beams are inserted into the wall structure are also very vulnerable. We believe it is almost useless to add that an adequate intervention of this kind brings undoubted advantages under the thermal aspect. At this point all that remains is to decide according to the problem on which system and type of insulation to use. Our experience has always shown us that the best results are obtained by using natural blond cork. Why? Because it is easy to apply, in the dimensions and thicknesses suitable for any type of intervention, it is healthy precisely because it is "natural" and with characteristics that ensure both thermal and acoustic insulation. Cork has always proved to be a product that guarantees the living comfort that we are certainly looking for. Each type of intervention requires a specific quality and thickness of the natural blond cork panel. The basic quality of agglomeration of natural blond cork granules is that in high frequency without the use of adhesives, in order to avoid its reversibility during its operation. Other requirements are those of thickness, density and grain size. If used for casting in the formwork, it is preferable to use a compressed natural blond cork panel with an average grain size 4 / 8mm soKoVerd.AF, in order to obtain good adhesion to the concrete. While if the cladding of the beams and pillars is carried out after the casting, it is preferable to use a super-compact natural blond cork panel with a fine grain size 2 / 3mm SoKoVerd.LV or a KoFlex honed super-compressed natural blond cork panel, gluing it to the surface with a special PraKov cement anchor. In both cases, if the panels are not covered with bricks, they must be plastered with the special KoMalt.G mineral plaster by inserting a KoRet fiberglass mesh. On the surface obtained, any finish can be made for both interior and exterior. gluing it to the surface with the special PraKov cement anchor.
