Cellular glass

 
Very often we ask ourselves one question: « Which thermal insulation is better and also which will make home safe for a health of it's inhabitants»?!»
There are a lot of materials, but we shall consider those thermal insulation materials which has got the widest adaptation and has mostly identical ability for saving heat:

Cellular glass
Mineral wool
Foam plastic

Cellular glass(foamglass) - yes or no?

Cellular glass – is the most universal thermal insulation material. It has all positive characteristics of mineral wool and foam plastic, but it hasn't all the negative characteristics of them. Cellular glass is a plate of cellular glass which are consist of spherical closed bleb. Inestimable advantage of cellular glass is that besides great thermal insulation ability, full ecologicall and hygienic safety, it also has a waterproofing quality which makes it irreplaceable in insulation of foundation and plain exploitationed roofs.
Cellular glass is also incombustible, has high solidity, low compactness, long-lived, unshrinkable. Moreover, cellular glass is very comfortable in working and very simple in assembling. All abilities cellular glass saves during the whole time of exploitation of the building.

 
The advantages of the cellular glass:
 Watertightness
 Longevity
 Acidproof
 Steam and gas proof
 High compression strenght
 Incombustible
 Biological stability
 Easy in working
 Environmental
The disadvantages of the cellular glass:
 Price is higher than another materials

Video about the cellular glass

Possibilities of buying cellular glass has appear not very long ago. But for such a short time it has gain a market because of it's unique properties. Everyday, more and more people begin to warm their houses, flats with a cellular glass, again making sure that this material is totally environmental, safe, secure and absolutly incombustible.
The base of this material is glass, so it can't be strike by fungus and bacterium. Besides it doesn't maintain burning, doesn't send off toxic substances and smoke. Cellular glass is acidproof and steamproof. In view of the aforesaid cellular glass can be used for:

  • Facade insulationв
  • Floor insulation
  • Plane roof insulation
  • Foundation insulation

The one and only disadvantage of cellular glass is it's price. During the production there are a lot of power inputs, that's why the prise is so high. And with the prices rise on a energy resourses, the price on a cellular glass will rise too.
In any way, it's your choice, cellular glass- yes or no?


Mineral Wool - yes or no?

In this part we will talk about the mineral wool.
Mineral wool – is one of the types of thermal insulation materials. This is a heat insulation material which is produced from the melt of rocks and slag. Because of the excellent heat and sound insulation and cheapness it is very popular among other materials of this kind.

 
Advantages of mineral wool:
 Sound insulation
 Incombustible
Disadvantages:
 High moisture absorption
 Small parts are blow by the air
Video about mineral wool( NTV channel )

Disadvantages of mineral wool – mineral wool is habitat for mice and rats, that's why warmth of facade shold be done very carefull. Low moisture- resistance and mechanic strenght is also a cons of the mineral wool. Because of this, mineral wool can make a shrinkage which will form vacuum. For increasing it's quaility mineral wool, it saturated with polymeric pitch which is very harmful for a human health. Devastation of the mineral wool takes two steps . On a first step binding agent is wrecked. On a second step starts the process of a shrinkage of the plate along the width and expansion of it's heat-conduction, which is linked with destroing of filament. The last causes an evolving of filament dust into enviroment..

Now consumer should choose between – cellular glass and mineral wool?


Foam plastic - yes or no?

Foam plastic can reduce your expenditures on a house warm. The insulation of walls with the foam plastic got the widespread because of it's cheapness and good thermal insulation property but this is all nice qualities of a foam plastic.


 
Advantages of a foam plastic:
 Price and quality
are in an optimal correlation
Disadvantages of a foam plasticа:
 Harmful for health,
 excretion of toxic gas
 Non-biological stability
 Inflammability
Video about foam plastic( Новый канал )

Disadvantages - when the foam plastic burns, there are a lot of smoke. The smoke consists of a poison-gas which was used in First world war. Also this is a dwelling for mice and rats, so often it's used as an inner heat insulation material. Granulated- non- extrusion polystyrene( sheets are white as a rule) can amass 30% of moisture.

Professor Chistyakov A. M., deputy director of FGUP: — When the new building materials take their places in a Russian market, including heat insulation material, it's always accompanied by the lack of adaptational, normative base and because of this, when customer deals with such materials and the ways of using them he has some kind of disorientation in this field. For example, on the packages of all producers of an extrusion foam plastic, which are having sertificate groups of combustibility G1, producers write «Reaction to fire class E». So producer agree that, in Europe his heat insulation material can be use not higher then basement floor or in an inverted roofs on concrete foundation, but in Russia he shows his G1 sertificate and tell that, his production can be widely used in facades and roofs with a metal base. Following popular express «Capture the gist», in this situation everything on a Russian heat insulation material market can be explained- all probles are because of an economic reasons. Foam plastic are desired by costumers because of it cheapness.

It's only your choice - cellular glass or foam plastic?
