1) What Areas of the House Should be Insulated?
The Areas of the house like – RCC deck slab or Brick wall which is directly facing the sun should need thermal insulation for energy-efficient space and comfort, The Areas like the home theater and Gym should need acoustic insulation for the comfort of a noisy environment. The chilled water pipes, Ducts, Drain, and Hot water pipes in the house should need to be insulated in Thermo Acoustic manner for the desired comfort. Sometimes, Door, Safe, and Kitchen Exhaust Ducts Should also need to be insulated with fire insulation with Thermo-acoustic application.
2) What’s The Best Time To Install Insulation?
When the House/Building is under construction or in the designing stage, We can design and execute the insulation at its best to ensure the best comfort. We can apply insulation after the final finish too by keeping a customized solution in the mind but it becomes quite complicated due to Renovation.
3) Does Insulation Have An Expiry Date?
Insulation, If rightly selected, properly designed, and perfectly executed then it has no expiry, it works till the building lasts. Still One should consider the pros and cons of material with its limitation as far as the insulation is concerned.
4) What are the advantages of insulating materials?
The Thermal insulation material keeps the heat away from your concerned space and accordingly it makes your environment more energy-efficient and comfortable. The Acoustic insulation materials control the sound energy to provide you with the best comfortable noise environment. The Added advantage of both these kinds of materials is fire safety if selected with the right material.
5) Can insulation save energy?
Yes, Insulation Saves the Energy of Appliances like Heater and AC in homes by helping them to slow down the ratio of heat transfer.
6) What are the main reasons to insulate a Home?
To make the home comfortable with respect to heat and Sound with fire safety. Thermal insulation provides a more energy-efficient home and reduces the electricity bills While Acoustic insulation helps to prevent echo and simultaneously stops the unnecessary sound transfer.
7) Does Insulation Burn? Is it Fire Retardant?
There are different kinds of insulation materials. Some of them can easily burn while Some are fire retardant. One Should choose it carefully by keeping the objective of the insulation in mind.
8) What is the best material to use for insulation?
The Best material for insulation varies on the basis of site and application for Which one should be going to apply the insulation. However, Some materials have all three characteristics like – Thermal. Acoustic and fire are called the best materials for a particular application in specific industries.
9)Which is the organic thermal insulating material?
The Insulation material which contains carbon compounds and is in the form of polymers mostly is called Organic Thermal insulating material. The Examples are XPS, and EPS.PUR, PIR Etc.
10)Which is better: Rockwool or polystyrene?
It depends on the Application and the objective for which we are seeking the Solution .If We are looking for solution in Textile industry then we prefer fire retardant Rockwool due to its better fire property but If We are looking solution for Pharma/Research /Packaging Industry then We should select polystyrene due to its non fibrous Structure .
12) Which insulating material is most widely used in refrigerators?
The EPDM and nitrile rubber insulation is most widely used in refrigerators nowadays .
13) What is the best insulation to keep heat out?
Vaccum or Cavity insulation combined with the different generic insulation materials can provide the Best Thermal Resistant value( R) to keep the heat away in the best manner .
