Classification of Insulation Technologies
Building insulation technologies can be categorized into various types, including exterior wall insulation, roof insulation, floor insulation, and interior wall insulation. Among these, exterior wall insulation is the most widely applied technique, functioning by applying insulation materials to the exterior walls to prevent indoor heat loss. Roof insulation serves as the primary defense against heat loss within buildings, while floor insulation reduces thermal loss beneath the ground to achieve energy savings.
Common Insulation Materials
Polyurethane Insulation Boards: Offer excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance, making them a cost-effective insulation solution.
Extruded Polystyrene Boards (XPS): Feature superior thermal insulation with low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, minimal deformation, and fire-resistant properties.
Vitrified Microsphere Insulation Board: Features high thermal insulation, lightweight density, high compressive strength, and excellent chemical stability, making it a widely used insulation material.
Installation Methods
Exterior Wall Insulation: Install insulation boards or apply insulation coatings to exterior walls, securing materials with fasteners and adhesive.
Roof Insulation: Lay insulation materials on the roof surface and secure them with fasteners.
Interior Wall Insulation: Install interior insulation panels or apply thermal-insulating coatings.
