Монтаж утеплителя Тепофол® изнутри дома достаточно лёгкий, чтобы выполнить его самостоятельно, без привлечения строительных организаций. Такой способ утепления немного уменьшит площадь дома, но позволит сократить время монтажа и не зависеть от погоды за окном.

Утеплитель Тепофол: цены и характеристики

Теплоизоляция Тепофол изготавливается из вспененного полиэтилена. Она имеет фольгированную поверхность. Высокие теплоизоляционные показатели обеспечиваются двумя факторами:

• отражающими свойствами фольгированного слоя;
• закрытой пористой структурой пенополиэтилена.

Купить фольгированный Тепофол стоит еще и потому, что кроме теплозащиты, он обеспечивает паро-, гидро- и шумоизоляцию. Это позволяет сэкономить расходы на строительство, поскольку один материал защищает от нескольких неблагоприятных явлений.

Разновидности утеплителя Тепофол

• А. Отражающим покрытием служит алюминиевая фольга, реже – отполированная металлизированная пленка.
• В. Он имеет двустороннее отражающие покрытие: из металлизированной пленки и алюминиевой фольги.
• С. Это самоклеящийся Тепофол. С одной стороны он покрыт алюминиевой фольгой, с другой – металлизированной пленкой.
• Металл. В качестве отражающего слоя используется металлизированная пленка.
• НПЭ. Это подложки из вспененного пенополиэтилена.

Сферы и особенности применения утеплителя Тепофол

Утеплитель Тепофол используется для тепло-, влаго-, шумо- и гидроизоляции:

• полов;
• стен;
• мансард;
• бань и саун;
• воздуховодов и трубопроводов.

Часто Тепофол используется для создания теплоотражающих экранов за радиаторами отопления. Направление применения зависит от толщины материала, количества и типа слоев. Чем сложнее условия эксплуатации, тем выше должны быть параметры утеплителя. Например, для изоляции кровли и фасада целесообразно купить в Воронеже Тепофол максимальной толщины и с двусторонней отражающей поверхностью.

 

Подложки НПЭ используются при обустройстве полов. Чем больше нагрузка на покрытие, тем больше толщина материала. Самоклеящиеся утеплители Тепофол удобно использовать при самостоятельном обустройстве теплоизоляции. Они демонстрируют высокую адгезию к большинству оснований, поэтому предельно просты в нанесении. При монтаже отражающий слой должен располагаться со стороны более теплого объекта.

Технические характеристики теплоизоляции Тепофол

• Коэффициент отражения – может достигать 97 %.
• Водопоглощение – порядка 0,6-3,5 %.
• Температура применения – от -60 до +100 °С.
• Коэффициент теплопроводности – 0,038 ± 0,001 Вт/м*°С.
• Предельная прочность при сжатии материала – 0,035 МПа.
• Коэффициент паропроницаемости – 0,0011 мг/м*ч*Па.
• Удельный вес – 34-35 кг/м3.

Как и характеристики материала, цена на фольгированный Тепофол зависит от его разновидности. Чем лучше эксплуатационные и технические свойства, тем дороже будет стоить утеплитель. Также цена за м2 утеплителя Тепофол в рулонах зависит от толщины и длины материала. Толщина варьируется в диапазоне 2-10 мм. Длина рулона составляет 15 либо 25 м, ширина – 1,2 либо 1,05 м.

90000 How does heat insulation trap heat? 90001 90002 Advertisement 90003 90002 90003 90006 90007 90008 90009 90010 90002 by Chris Woodford. Last updated: June 2, 2019. 90003 90013 If you’re out and about in winter and you’re feeling cold, chances are you’ll put on a hat or another layer of clothing. If you’re sitting at home watching television and the same thought strikes you, you’re more likely to turn on your heating. Now what if we switched the logic around? What if you ate more food whenever you felt cold and stuck a woolly hat on top of your house each winter? The first would not make much difference: food supplies the energy your body needs, but it does not necessarily make you any warmer right there and then.But putting «clothes» on your house-by insulating it-is actually a very good idea: the more heat insulation you have, the less energy escapes, the lower your fuel bills, and the more you help the planet in the fight against global warming. Let’s take a closer look! 90003 90002 Photo: Aerogel is one of the world’s most exciting insulating materials. Put a slab of aerogel between a gas flame and some wax crayons and the crayons will not melt: the aerogel stops virtually any heat flowing through. One day, we could make all our windows out of aerogel-but scientists have to figure out how to make it transparent first! Photo by courtesy of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).90003 90017 Why do we need insulation? 90018 90002 Compared to using age-old technology such as an open-coal fire, most modern heating appliances are actually pretty efficient; look at the red bars in the chart below and you’ll see that, for every joule (the standard modern unit of measuring energy) of fuel you feed into them, you typically get about 70 percent back again as heat (in practical terms, that’s what the fuel efficiency percentage means). 90003 90002 90003 90002 Chart: Comparing the cost and efficiency of different fuels.How efficiently you can heat your home (and how much it will cost) depends to a large extent on the fuel you use-which is not always something you can change easily. As this chart shows, home heating fuels vary dramatically in cost (with electricity the most expensive and coal the cheapest), though most are about 70 percent efficient or better. Wood is the least efficient fuel, but given its low cost, availability, and sustainability, that does not always bother people. Even though coal is the cheapest fuel, it’s dirtiness and other environmental drawbacks have made it much less popular in recent decades.Natural gas owes its popularity to its relativity low cost and high efficiency. The blue bars in this chart show the cost in dollars per million btu of nine common residential fuels (read the vertical axis on the left). The red bars alongside show the efficiency of each fuel as a percentage (read the vertical axis on the right). Drawn using data for 2014 courtesy of US Energy Administration. (This still appears to be the newest comparative data from the EIA as of 2019. The efficiency data does not really change, but please bear in mind that the prices may be slightly inaccurate now.) 90003 90025 Holding onto your heat 90026 90002 The real problem with home heating is retaining the heat you produce: in winter, the air surrounding your home and the soil or rock on which it stands are always at a much lower temperature than the building so, no matter how efficient your heating is, your home will still lose heat sooner or later. The answer is, of course, to create a kind of buffer zone in between your warm house and the cold outdoors. This is the basic idea behind heat insulation, which is something most of us think about far too little.According to the US Department of Energy, only a fifth of homes built before 1980 are properly insulated; so, as you can see from the chart below, most of us believe our properties are better insulated than they actually are. 90003 90002 90003 90002 Chart: Over 95 percent of homes built in the 1990s and after are either well- or adequately insulated, according to the perceptions of their owners, compared to just 68 percent built before 1950. (In reality, many homes are much more poorly insulated than their owners believe.) Drawn using data from [PDF] Householder’s Perceptions of Insulation Adequacy and Drafts in the Home in 2001 by Behjat Hojjati, US Energy Information Administration, 2004. 90003 90017 How does heat escape from your home? 90018 90002 90003 90002 Artwork: Where does the heat escape in a typical home? It varies from building to building, but these are some rough, typical estimates. The walls give the biggest heat loss, followed by the doors and windows, the roof, and the floor. 90003 90002 Why does heat escape from your home in the first place? To understand that, it helps to know a little bit about the science of heat.As you probably know, heat travels in three different ways by processes called conduction, convection, and radiation. (If you’re not sure of the difference, take a look at our main article on heat for a quick recap.) Knowing about these three types of heat flow, it’s easy to see lots of ways in which your cozy warm home is leaking heat to the freezing cold world all around it: 90003 90041 90008 Your house is standing on cold soil or rock, so heat flows down directly into the Earth by conduction.90009 90008 Heat travels by conduction through the solid walls and roof of your home. On the outside, the outer walls and the roof tiles are hotter than the atmosphere around them, so the cold air near to them heats up and flows away by convection. 90009 90008 Your house may seem like a big complex space with lots going on inside in but, from the point of view of physics, it’s exactly the same as a camp fire in the middle of vast, cold surroundings: it constantly radiates heat into the atmosphere.90009 90048 90002 The more heat escapes from your home, the colder it gets inside, so the more you have to use your heating and the more it costs you. The more you use your heating, the more fuel has to be burned somewhere (either in your own home or in a power plant up-state), the more carbon dioxide gas is produced, and the worse global warming becomes. It’s far better to insulate your home and reduce the heat losses. That way, you’ll need to use your heating much less. The great thing about home insulation is that it usually pays for itself quite quickly in lower fuel bills.Before long, it’s even making you money! And it’s helping the planet too. 90003 90017 How heat insulation works 90018 90002 Suppose you’ve just poured yourself a hot cup of coffee. A fundamental rule of physics called the second law of thermodynamics says it’s never going to stay that way: pretty soon, it’s going to be a cold cup of coffee instead. What can you do to postpone the inevitable? Somehow you need to stop heat escaping by conduction, convection, and radiation. 90003 90002 The first thing you could do is put a lid on.By stopping hot air rising and falling above the cup, you’ll be cutting down heat losses by convection. Some heat is also going to be disappearing through the bottom of the hot cup into the cold table it’s standing on. What if you could surround the cup with a layer of air? Then very little conduction could take place. So maybe have a second cup outside the first one with an air gap (or, better still, a vacuum) in between. That’s convection and conduction just about licked, but what about radiation? If you were to wrap aluminum foil round the outer cup, most of the infrared radiation the hot coffee gives off will be reflected back inside it, so that should solve that problem too.Apply all three of those solutions-a lid, an air gap, and a metallic coating-and what you have is effectively a vacuum flask: a really effective way of keeping hot drinks hot. (It’s also good at keeping cold drinks cold, because it stops heat flowing in just as effectively as it stops heat flowing out.) It’s worth noting, just in passing, that most takeaway stores give you hot drinks in nasty-tasting polystyrene containers. Ever wondered why? The answer is simply that polystyrene (and especially expanded polystyrene, filled with air-the crumbly kind you get in packaging materials) is a superb heat insulator (check out the table below and you’ll see it rates better than double- and triple-glazing).90003 90002 90003 90002 Photo: Above: Vacuums coated with metal are among the best insulators, but they’re not always suitable for everyday uses. In the late 1980s, two scientists working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, David Benson and Thomas Potter, developed a more practical way to use this technology called compact vacuum insulation (CVI). The outer metal plates, held apart by ceramic spacers, seal an insulating vacuum inside. Photo by Warren Gretz courtesy of US Department of Energy / National Renewable Energy Laboratory (DOE / NREL).90003 90002 Photo: Below: A similar idea is at work in products like Superfoil, an affordable insulating material that (if you peel it apart) is much like bubble-wrap, only it’s sandwiched between thin layers of aluminum foil instead of paper. According to the manufacturers, the basic version has an R-value of around 0.97-2.33 (depending on where you use it), though the thicker versions manage somewhat better. 90003 90002 90003 90017 The best way to insulate your home 90018 90002 Now, unfortunately, we can not build our houses exactly like a vacuum flask.We have to have air to breathe, so a vacuum’s out of the question. Most people like windows too, so living in a sealed box lined with metallic foil is not that practical either. But the basic principle of cutting down heat losses from conduction, convection, and radiation still applies nevertheless. 90003 90002 If you want to improve your insulation, you need to take a very systematic approach, considering every possible way in which cold air can enter your home and heat can escape. You need to work your way around the entire building looking at every door, wall, window, roof, and other potential source of heat loss in turn.How much loft insulation do you have and could you do with some more? Is your home suitable for cavity-wall insulation and have you worked out the likely savings and payback period? How much energy are you losing through those drafty old sash windows? Have you thought about investing in caulking, secondary glazing, heavy curtains, magnetically attached plastic sheets, or some other means of keeping out the cold? 90003 90025 Walls 90026 90002 90003 90002 Photo: Reduce the energy losses from your home by filling the walls full of foam insulation.This eco-home is being insulated with Icynene, a plastic insulation material similar to that used in pillows and mattresses. Photo by Paul Norton courtesy of US Department of Energy / National Renewable Energy Laboratory (DOE / NREL). 90003 90002 Many homes have what are called cavity walls with two layers of brick or blocks between the inner rooms and the world outside and an air gap between the walls. The air gap reduces heat losses from the walls by both conduction and convection: conduction, because heat can not conduct through gases; convection, because there’s relatively little air between the walls and it’s sealed in, so convection currents can not really circulate.90003 90002 By itself, air is not the best insulating material to have between your walls. It’s actually far more effective to have the cavities in your walls filled with expanding foam or another really good insulating material that stops heat escaping. Cavity-wall insulation, as this is known, takes only hours to install and costs relatively little. Cavity walls are often filled with loosely packed, air-filled materials such as vermiculite, shredded recycled paper, or glass fibers (Specially treated to make them fireproof).These materials work in exactly the same way that your clothes work: extra layers of clothing make you warmer by trapping air-and it’s the air, as much as (or more than) the clothes themselves, that stops heat escaping. 90003 90017 Which are the best home insulation materials? 90018 90002 Some forms of insulation are better than others, but how can you compare them? The best way is to look out for measurements called R-values ​​and U-values. 90003 90025 R-values ​​90026 90002 The R-value of a material is its thermal resistance: how effectively it resists heat flowing through it.The bigger the value, the greater the resistance, and the more effective the material is as a heat insulator. 90003 90006 90008 Single glass: 0.9. 90009 90008 Air: 1 (0.5-4 inch air gap). 90009 90008 Double-glazing: 2.0 (with 0.5 inch air gap). 90009 90008 Vermiculite: 2.5 per inch. 90009 90008 Fiberglass: 3 per inch. 90009 90008 Triple-glazing: 3.2 (with 0.5 inch air gap). 90009 90008 Expanded polystyrene: 4 per inch. 90009 90008 Polyurethane: 6-7 per inch 90009 90008 Polyisocyanurate (foil-faced): 7 per inch.90009 90008 Aerogel: Space-age insulating material: 10 90009 90010 90002 90003 90002 Photo: You can reduce heat losses through your floor by building your home on a thick insulating material like this, which has an R value of 30. Photo by Paul Norton courtesy of US Department of Energy / National Renewable Energy Laboratory (DOE / NREL). 90003 90025 U-values ​​90026 90002 Another common measurement you’ll see is called the U-value, which is the total amount of heat lost through a certain thickness of insulating material.The lower the U-value, the lower the heat flow and the better the material does it job as an insulator (so that’s the opposite of R-value, where higher values ​​are better). U-values ​​and R-values ​​are obviously related concepts, but U-values ​​are more accurate. Where R-values ​​only consider conduction losses, U-values ​​take account of losses due to conduction, radiation, and convection. The conduction loss is the reciprocal of the R-value (that’s one divided by the R-value), then you add radiation and convection losses onto that to get the total U-value.90003 90002 Generally, we’re only interested in 90120 comparing 90121 different materials, so all you really need to remember is that high R-values ​​and low U-values ​​are good things. 90003 90025 Roof 90026 90002 Since warm air rises, plenty of heat escapes through the roof of your home (just as lots of heat escapes from your body through your head, if you do not wear a hat). Most people also have insulation inside the roof (loft area) of their homes, but there’s really no such thing as too much insulation.Loft insulation is generally made from the same materials as cavity-wall fillings-such things as rock wool and fiberglass. 90003 90025 Radiation losses 90026 90002 90003 90002 Photo: Double glazing: the air gap between the two panes of glass provides heat insulation-and soundproofing too. 90003 90002 Wall and roof insulation cuts down on heat losses by convection and conduction, but what about radiation? In a vacuum flask, that problem’s solved by having a reflective metallic lining-and the same idea can be used in homes too.Some homeowners install thin sheets of reflective metallic aluminum in the walls, floors, or ceilings to cut down on radiation losses. Good products of this kind can reduce radiation losses by as much as 97 percent. You can find out more by searching on «reflective insulation «or» radiant barrier «in one of the search boxes on this page. 90003 90002 That still leaves the windows as a major source of heat loss, but there are ways to tackle that problem too. Double-glazed windows have two panes of glass separated by a sealed air gap.The air stops heat losses by conduction and convection, while the extra pane of glass reflects more light and heat radiation back into your home and reduces heat losses that way too. You can have your windows treated with a very thin reflective metallic coating or made from special thermal glazing (Such as Pilkington-K, which traps heat a bit like a greenhouse) that reduces heat losses even further. (Read more in our main article on heat-reflective windows.) 90003 90002 Generally, the more insulation you have, the warmer you’ll be.But the amount you need varies depending on where you live and how cold it gets. 90003 90002 90003 90002 Chart: Switching from single- to double- or even triple glazing can make a big difference (darker blue), especially if you use low-e, heat-reflective glass (lighter blue). The numbers shown are R-values, with a 0.5 inch air gap. 90003 90025 Curtains and blinds 90026 90002 If you can not insulate your windows, for any reason, curtains and blinds can make a difference. Remember that the purpose of curtains is not simply to give you privacy: good curtains should trap a significant volume of air between the fabric and the window and stop it from moving; it’s the air that gives you the insulation and not (generally) the fabric of the curtains themselves.So you need curtains that seal at the sides and reach snugly to the floor (or touch the windowsill). The more air you trap between the fabric and the window the better your curtains will be as heat insulators. You might prefer the convenience of blinds, but they are almost never as effective as curtains, partly because most blinds have air gaps in them (so they do not create any kind of an air seal) and also because blinds tend to be fitted closer to the glass so the volume of air they trap is greatly reduced.90003 90025 Insulate yourself 90026 90002 If your heating bills are really starting to get to you, or your home is so old and drafty that you simply can not keep heat in it for any length of time, why not shift your focus away from heating the building to keeping your own body warm? Use a moderate amount of heating each day to keep your home in good condition and avoid problems such as damp and condensation, but do not have your heating on as long or as high as you would normally. Instead, buy yourself some thermal underwear (merino wool is particularly good-and often sold as «base layer» garments in outdoor activity shops) and put on more layers of clothing on top.Another option is to keep one or two rooms in your home comfortably warm and only heat the others occasionally, in rotation, when you feel they’re becoming too cold. 90003 90025 Insulation versus ventilation 90026 90002 The better insulated your home, the less well ventilated it’s likely to be. Although that does not sound like a problem, it certainly can be: the air in a home needs to be changed reasonably often to avoid problems like condensation and damp, and potentially dangerous indoor pollution (from things like cooking and heating).Exactly how often the air needs to be refreshed depends on how big the space is, how many people are inside it, and what sorts of things they’re doing (a bathroom or kitchen generally needs more ventilation than a living space, for example) . Insulation and ventilation do not have to be enemies, however; there are technical solutions to the problem, notably heat-recovery ventilation (HRV) systems that use heat exchangers to catch the warm, stale air flowing out of a building and reheat the cool, fresh air flowing in the other way.90003 90006 90007 90008 90009 90010 90017 Find out more 90018 90025 On this website 90026 90006 90008 Heat: The science of heat energy explored in more detail. 90009 90008 Heat-recovery ventilation: Explores ways to ventilate a home without losing the heat locked inside. 90009 90008 Passive solar: Stopping heat from escaping is a good thing, but so is letting in heat from the Sun to reduce your energy bills.

This heat energy is meant to vibrate only inside the dome space and cook for us for a long time.That is all there is to it. 90003 90002 90005 If the dome was not covered with some kind of light-weight thermic insulation material, the heat energy from the fire would quickly run away through the dense layer leaving the firebrick dome cooled down or cold. 90006 This is not hard science at all, plus, in fact, it’s also very easy to apply. If done properly that simple function gets truly amazing results. 90003 90002 90005 In the nutshell 90006: 90015 Dome walls of the oven are made out of a dense material.This heavy material has quite a high thermal conductivity (inside itself it transfers and builds up the heat it faces.) Therefore the cooking chamber is capable of soaking in & retaining a lots of heat from the fire … and lead it through all across its whole body mass. 90003 90002 Firebricks and other dense refractory materials have the capacity to conduct heat within them very well. That is why the heat-energy also enters right into the opposite outside edge very quickly. It soaks through.Literally in a high speed. 90003 90002 In other words, as much as the dome is hot on the inside, very fast the temperature gets equally hot on the outside. «That means the oven gets fully loaded with cooking energy: o) ‘Oh no no … do not get scared, it is totally very good for you !!! 90003 90002 We will just give the oven a nice warm coat to keep it warm, even though it is not a winter weather outside. And by doing it that way the heat will not escape out into the air, the energy remains only ours.90003 90002 Builders can choose from several refractory insulation types. Some are packed in bags and used simply in the loose form, by pouring it dry around and on top of a boxed-in dome, covering any shape or kind of cooking dome. 90003 90002 Then there is the blanket form of heat insulation (rolled in different lengths or precut into smaller lengths usually 24 «- 610mm wide standard size.) 90003 90002 You can easy prepare your own quality mix or buy insulation’s that are mixed with water before an application.These can be cast or built up by hand. After setting the mix creates solid but still soft and lightweight efficient thermal insulating layer. 90003 90002 90005 1. Dry, loose form heat insulation’s 90006 that can be poured around and on top to cover the main cooking part: 90015 Vermiculite or Perlite — both are being sold in different grade sizes. Choose one in the middle, do not get the fine dust size. Personally I use grade # 3 Vermiculite. It is sold in larger landscaping or gardening yards for horticulture or even for building swimming pools.Vermiculite and Perlite are commonly used for thermally insulating those nice oven structures where the dome is boxed-in between e.g. building brick or metal sheet walls. More on vermiculite insulation. 90003 90002 Application thickness of 4 «- 10cm plus will do for covering the oven. 90003 90002 90005 2. Ceramic fiber insulating blankets or ceramic fiber pads 90006: 90015 This high technology option is perhaps a bit more costly but in a limited space area for wood oven it will help perfectly.Sold in different grades, for wood oven you’ll need lowest grade because top grades of this material can be used in stoneware high temperatures and also on the hot face (and a lot higher). If you want to use ceramic fiber you only need to place it around the walls and top, often a good grade will require only 1 «- 2.5cm to 2» — 5cm width. Do not put anything heavy on top, like other layer or insulation or wet layer of mortar etc., it should not be squashed down at all, the high quality of insulation would be degraded / lost (remember the honeycomb effect?) 90003 90002 Ceramic fiber insulation blankets need to be hidden / protected against humid and dusty conditions, behind a casing, so the material does not deteriorate unnecessarily.90003 90002 WARNING when working with these blankets wear gloves and respiratory mask as it releases sharp dust particles which many people are allergic to, watch that silicosis. Silicosis is not dangerous as asbestosis (90005 unrelated but 90006 still for the awareness asbestos awareness — work & safety page.) 90003 90002 Sold are also ceramic fiber insulations in form of a loos wool, like a fluff, which can be pushed into narrow areas but do not pack it too much, not to make it into hard solid or it will not insulate well.Available in refractory or pottery supplies shops. I’ll take picture of the blanket and add it in here. 90003 90002 90005 Mixed refractory insulation’s 90006: 90015 13: 1: 1 — Vermiculite, Portland cement, Lime. Mix all dry ingredients then add small water amount in stages while mixing. This will become solid but stays soft! Used e.g. for covering of the dome e.g. into barrel or igloo effect on the outside. (It is not insulating concrete or mortar.) Apply in 2.5cm — 1 «layers, do 3-4 or more of them allow each layer to set before following one.Last, still insulating layer, can be thinner with double amount of cement. Finally for the weather finish, the oven can be rendered on chicken wire, just like the stucco on old wooden houses. 90003 90002 13: 1: 1 — Perlite, Portland cement, Lime. Mix all dry ingredients then add small water amount in stages while mixing. This will become solid but stays flexible! Used e.g. for covering of the dome e.g. into barrel or igloo effect on the outside. (It is not insulating concrete or mortar.) Apply in 2.5cm — 1 «layers, do 3-4 or more of them allow each layer to set before following one. Last and still insulating layer, can be thinner with double amount of cement. Finally for the weather finish, the oven can be rendered on chicken wire, just like the stucco on old wooden houses. 90003 90002 Heat resistant insulation for under the floor slab can be simply 5: 1 — mix of Vermiculite: Portland Cement (or often called also GP cement.) 90003 90002 This insulating layer has also metal mesh under (the mix is ​​then poured on top of the mesh).Mixing this type requires of approximately 1 part of water and 6 parts of dry matter, which makes it dry stuff to water 6: 1. . . (In other words: 5 + 1 = 6 parts of dry ingredients which is vermiculite and cement and water 1 part. All measuring is done fast in volume sense, NOT in weight.) Mix first only the dry Vermiculite and cement together. Then add into it only ~ 80% of the required water amount and mix. From the beginning it feels rather dry but as you progress with mixing you will realize that adding just a bid of water could make it very runny easily.90003 90002 I place into wheelbarrow 5 cans of Vermiculite, 1 can of cement, mix it with shovel there, then I add 1 full can of water and finish mixing. This makes me full wheelbarrow of insulation material. Because insulating ingredients are so much lighter in weight, when compared for instance with any sand, it would be easy to push it out of the wheelbarrow. So take it easy while mixing it. You will see 🙂 90003 90002 Do not mix Vermiculite based insulation in a cement mixer as the mixer is destroying the Vermiculite granular particles (page with images plus extra reading on vermiculite insulation.) 90003 90002 Thickness of this refractory insulation slab layer should be between 3 «to 4» (75mm to 100mm) which is sufficient for the small surface a family sized wood fired oven has. When you make the floor insulating slab; transfer it from your wheelbarrow into place, spread it on the whole surface, and tap the mix on the top to make it more solid. This tapping does not have to be done with an insulation applied on the top of the oven because that one just sits there on the dense cooking part.With the insulation that goes under the concrete slab for the oven, lite tapping is required, because the oven is heavy. Till it sets the surface will feel soft like a mulch. But as it dries it also becomes hard. 90003 90002 The same 5: 1 makes it light in weight concrete also. Floors are cast out of this mix in high raise buildings to lower the weight of the whole building down. However builders use mostly Perlite instead of vermiculite because as a building material Perlite is brittle. As a insulation in wood fired ovens both Vermiculite and Perlite perform very much the same way.90003 90002 I hope you find the 90005 thermal insulation 90006 information above useful. 90003 90002 90073 by Rado Hand 90074 90003 90076 Related: learn more about: 90077 .
