Why insulate the walls In most buildings, the opaque vertical structures that delimit them are, quantitatively, the main ones responsible for the heat exchanges between the internal and external environment. In fact, it is estimated that, in renovations, the thermal insulation of the perimeter walls alone allows to obtain energy savings of 20-25% in the case of single-family buildings, and of 30 - 35% in condominiums. In passive buildings and in those with very low energy consumption (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings) the opaque perimeter walls are characterized by very low thermal transmittance values, between 0.10 and 0.20 W / mK 2. These values can be obtained with different construction methods and by positioning the insulating layer: inside the cavity on the inside of the walls on the outside of the walls The advantages of external insulation The insulation from the outside has both performance, application and economic advantages: the application of a continuous layer of insulation allows to eliminate thermal bridges the insulation protects the structures from thermal shocks, guaranteeing a longer life the mass of the structures, concentrated inside, makes it possible to exploit their thermal inertia: the walls cool down and heat up more slowly building single-walled buildings with external insulation is economically advantageous compared to double-walled solutions In the case of renovations, insulation from the outside has further advantages: the intervention does not foresee the reduction of the internal surfaces of the houses it can be built without compromising the usability of the buildings and with minimal inconvenience for the inhabitants site management, outside the buildings, is easy and minimally invasive the acoustic insulation performance is improved an important redevelopment of the buildings is obtained, both energetic and aesthetic, and the intervention can be made to coincide with the maintenance works of the facade IN EVIDENCE Video store Available the illustrative video of the characteristics and performances of the STIFERITE Class SK panel and of its application methods in the COAT System Site Map | Privacy Policy | Cookie Privacy | Usage Notes © Stiferite SpA with single shareholder - Viale Navigazione Interna 54/5 - 35129 Padua VAT No. 03647120280 - REA PD 325913 - Share Capital € 7,737,000 fully paid-up Cookies help us provide you with a better navigation on stiferite.com.
