For a modern city dweller, the construction of a private house is a very attractive prospect - it is a great opportunity to get out of a stuffy city, get the opportunity to live and raise offspring in an environmentally friendly and natural for humans. Since the construction of a private house is associated with considerable financial costs, developers often resort to the use of modern building materials and technologies that are quite effective and affordable. An important factor in choosing a project is the ability to obtain a building with high energy-saving characteristics, which saves money on paying for heat carriers.

Heat insulation can be solved by insulating the walls of the building from the outside with expanded polystyrene plates, but is it really that simple with this heat insulator? Expanded polystyrene is a low-combustible and self-extinguishing insulation.

Folk wisdom says: Keep your feet warm, head cold, and your stomach hungry. But following it is not always easy. And if you can somehow cope with the head and stomach, then what about the legs? Most heaters equip above floor level. And as a result, the floor remains cold. To solve this problem, there is a warm floor.

Recently, foam concrete blocks have increasingly been used for low-rise construction. In this case, the laying of blocks is carried out mainly using cement-sand mortar, and not special glue. As a result, the seams are thick, forming places in the air pockets and creating, thereby, bridges of cold. In addition, foam concrete is a rather porous material, which contributes to the penetration of moisture into the structure of foam blocks. Under the influence of temperature differences, the integrity of the blocks is violated, leading to partial destruction of the wall. To avoid these and other problems, it is necessary to correctly insulate the building, while increasing its operational life.

The duration of the operating period of a warm floor directly depends on the quality of the screed and the installation of an electric heated floor under the screed. Even a slight deviation from the rules can lead to the failure of the warm floor, which will entail additional costs for its complete replacement.

In an effort to save on heating in the cold season, home owners resort to improving their buildings: studies show that a significant part of the heat received from the heating system simply goes outside due to poor thermal insulation of the building. The culprits of such losses are not only walls, but also not insulated foundations, floors, ceilings and roofs, and an uninsulated roof leads to considerable losses, about a third of the thermal energy can escape from the house through it. So it is necessary for those homeowners who do not want to heat the streets for winter with their own money to think about roof insulation in a wooden house, brick or frame.

With the growing popularity of suburban and suburban construction, the issue of thermal insulation has become a topic of concern to many developers. The urgency of the issue is given by the considerable cost of fuel, or even simply the reluctance to mess with the stove for almost 9 months a year, when real living in the house can be deprived of comfort due to lower temperatures at night. In order to ensure coolness in the summer heat in a private house and reduce energy consumption in the cold season, it is customary to resort to the installation of thermal insulation.

Ordinary roofing cardboard, impregnated with soft oil bitumen and coated with refractory bitumen on top, is called roofing material. The scope of its application is extremely wide and roofing material is used both for roofing and for waterproofing.
