The best way to insulate roofs
Home air conditioning, which includes heating and cooling, is necessary for the home, and the loss of that heat, whether from inside the house in winter or inside the house in summer, is undesirable, and therefore many seek to reduce the rate of heat transfer to and from the house by isolating the surfaces and walls, so that the walls allow For a percentage ranging between 15-20% and ceilings 10-15% of the heat to pass through them, and the following are some ways to isolate all kinds of roofs:
Concrete blocks or bricks
They are concrete blocks used to build walls, which are based on raising the rate of thermal insulation of the house, as they contain plastic granules or air voids that reduce the process of heat transfer outside the house, and what distinguishes them from the concrete casting method is that the latter depends on pouring concrete completely to build the wall, Thus, it allows the heat that is transmitted better in solid bodies to be transmitted more easily than in the method of concrete blocks only.
foam boards
It is an insulating foam made of polystyrene, polyisocyanate and polyurethane, surrounded by solid boards on all sides, which are fixed to the walls from the outside or from the inside, so that it gives great efficiency in thermal insulation in addition to its good heat resistance.
Reflective barriers
Thermal inversion barriers are widely used in the summer, as they are installed on the roofs of houses or in places rich in sunlight, so that they reflect the sun's rays falling on that roof and remove them from the outside, and thus reduce the heat flow to the interior.
Structural insulation panels
This method is used to insulate ceilings and walls so that it depends on a prefabricated structure consisting of two facades separated by a vacuum that is filled with compressed insulating foam, and is characterized by its high efficiency to resist heat flow, and the structural insulation panels can be manufactured in large sizes that require a crane to be able to be installed on buildings.
Isolation with blankets
In this method, blankets consisting of several types of fibers such as glass, plastic, and natural fibers are used, as well as in the form of rock wool, and are installed on floors, walls, and wooden beams. If there is wind.
