Methods of thermal insulation of walls in an apartment, choice and technology. What materials are suitable for heat and sound insulation of walls in an apartment? Mineral slabs Shumanet
- the work is now popular, performed in almost every house and apartment. Everyone began to take care of the heat, since this is a serious saving for the family budget, and excessive noise adds stress to our already intense life. Home should be a place where you have the opportunity to relax, which is why such technologies have become so popular.
Let's deal with the materials first, firstly, mainly thermal insulation materials they can rarely boast of soundproofing properties, of the most affordable and popular, there are only three - wool (eco, glass and mineral), cork sheets and isolon. Styrofoam and polypropylene foam poorly insulate sound, and pads for wallpaper or special mixtures that can remove extraneous noise do not give heat. You can either use one of the listed options, or build a structure from a combination of heat and sound insulators.
In order to finally convince you of the reasonableness of choosing one of the three proposed options, we will consider the charms and disadvantages, installation features of each of the listed materials.
Wadded materials: glass wool, ecowool, mineral wool
Cotton wool materials are almost identical in characteristics and therefore we will analyze them using the example of mineral wool.
Installation of mineral wool
Mineral wool has:
- Low thermal conductivity.
- Not susceptible to fire.
- Compressive strength, mechanical stress, rupture.
- High soundproofing characteristics.
- Resistant to thermal deformation.
- Biological and chemical resistance.
- Ease and simplicity in installation.
Mineral wool is produced both in sheets and in rolls, it has different thickness and softness. Installation instructions for structures using mineral wool are extremely simple:
- It is necessary to close the walls with a steam, hydro-barrier using a stapler, assemble a frame from special metal profiles, adhering to a step of 50 centimeters (cell 50 * 50).
- Carefully insert mineral wool into the resulting space, making sure that there is no uncovered space.
- Fix in any convenient way.
- Close the structure with sheets of drywall, plastic panels, clapboard, fiberboard.
The base for the walls is ready. You can start finishing, its appearance depends on what material you have chosen. Before accepting such an option into work, keep in mind that the thickness of the structure will "steal" several tens of centimeters from your premises. If noise insulation is the primary reason for the repair alterations, then before proceeding with the installation of the structure, inspect the walls, floor, ceiling for cracks, cracks, recesses through which extraneous noise can penetrate and seal them. In principle, the technology allows you to do everything yourself and not overpay those who perform this kind of work, therefore it is not financially costly.
Cork Wall Covering
Cork coverings
Cork also has many advantages:
- It's waterproof.
- Fireproof.
- Resistant to deformation and pressure.
- Does not collect dust, is a little dirty.
- Perfectly isolates extraneous noise and retains heat.
- Not susceptible to the appearance of mold and mildew.
- Hypoallergenic.
The disadvantages include:
- The high cost of the material.
- Low durability of the protective coating.
- Traces from heavy furniture, equipment.
Cork can be presented to the consumer in various types:
- Cork chips.
- Cork rolls.
- Cork wallpaper.
- "Liquid" plug.
- Technical cork coating for other types of finishes.
Mounting a plug in any form is not a complicated process, but rather painstaking. It is glued onto a special acrylic or contact compound. Contact adhesive has a two-sided principle of application, that is, it is applied both to the wall and to the material, ensures the reliability and strength of the fastening, the second version of fastening implies that the glue will be applied only to the material. Builders prefer contact adhesives.
When gluing on both sides, make sure that air bubbles do not fall under the material, and the glue is evenly distributed over the entire surface. Before gluing, you need to wait a while for a better adhesion of the materials. Before the stage of gluing, the cork must be acclimatized in the room, for this it must take at least a day. The walls and the room where the work will be carried out also need preparation. The room temperature should not be lower than 19 degrees Celsius, and the relative humidity should fluctuate between 35-65 percent. The walls must be dry and even, their maximum moisture content is 3%.
If you are not sure of the compliance with these indicators, then carry out the appropriate work - level or dry them. When installing cork coverings, it is unacceptable to use materials containing gypsum. The cork is glued in almost the same way as the tile, with the difference that the seams here should be minimal, and the materials are laid joint to joint. If the flooring is patterned, then lay the combination on the floor before gluing to the wall and follow the sequence you chose.
Izolon
The undoubted advantages of this material:
It can be glued or attached with a stapler, and the seams between the sheets can be carefully sealed with special tape. Heat and sound insulation can be produced both from the inside of the building and from the outside. What kind of thermal and noise insulation of walls in an apartment is better - choose for yourself.
External heat and noise insulation of walls
The advice of the masters is practically the same - you need to choose this particular type for insulation (if this is the main task), since it is easier to prevent the cold from penetrating into the wall of the room than to deal with the consequences of its freezing. There is a certain algorithm of actions that is applicable to thermal insulation outside the house.
Frame for heat and noise insulation
- The walls must first be prepared. The substrate must be dry, clean and sound. If we are talking about the production of work for which a frame or lathing is needed, before they are built, it is necessary to take care of a vapor barrier so that the materials are not exposed to moisture. This is especially true for working with wadded heat and noise insulators, since one of the disadvantages of the latter is, just, the fear of moisture. Under its influence, cotton wool loses its properties, and the work will not bring the desired effect. If you want to work with adhesives, dry the wall thoroughly. It is not recommended to carry out such outdoor work in the autumn - spring when the humidity is high, it is better to choose a summer day in a sunny week, then your walls will dry on their own, naturally without your help.
- Placement of heat and noise insulator. It is worth fixing the material in the way indicated in the technology above - either by gluing (attaching with a stapler), or placing it under the frame (formwork). Closing the insulator is adopted by special materials for facade works... It can be slabs, siding, or more.
If you do not have the opportunity to spend in the apartment outside, you can resort to internal installation... The technologies of insulation and sound insulation have already been given by us in this article.
Styrofoam or styrofoam? Is it worth it?
If sound insulation is not fundamental, and financial resources are not enough for large-scale insulation work, we can offer an option suitable for private houses or apartments, where external noise (from the street) is the main concern. This is the installation of foam or polypropylene plates. Due to their porosity, they absorb some amount of noise, although their performance significantly lags behind mineral wool, isolon or cork. Of course, you can carry out interior decoration using these sheets, but some experts are concerned about their toxicity, so we do not recommend taking risks.
Installation of such sheets is very simple - they are glued onto special mixtures, fixed with so-called fungi, plastered and painted. The density and thickness of the material is different and you can easily find the option you need.
Whatever your choice of thermal and noise insulation, the location of its placement, I would very much like you to succeed, and your work will bring you joy and satisfaction.

Mineral insulation based on quartz
Mineral wool ISOVER is produced using the TEL technology from high-quality quartz melt, which is confirmed by the relevant certificates and conclusions of expert organizations. Mineral insulation based on quartz is durable, environmentally friendly and belongs to the group non-combustible materials.
ProductsISOVER based on quartz, it is produced according to modern technologies at a plant in Yegoryevsk - one of the largest ISOVER enterprises in the world, producing more than 70,000 tons of heat and sound insulation per year. It is the only enterprise in our country that has the technology of crimping and can produce products from quartz with high mechanical strength.
Mineral insulation and sound insulation ISOVER based on quartz can be divided into light and hard brands... The advantages of light grades are elasticity, light weight, tight adhesion to the surface, and ease of installation. Light grades are produced in the form of rolls and plates, which are compressed in a package 4 - 6 times. This provides significant savings in the transportation and storage of material. After removing the packaging, mineral wool restores its original volumes in a few minutes and it can be used to insulate walls, floors, roofs, attics, ceilings or provide sound insulation as part of a partition.
Hard grades of mineral wool based on quartz in Russia today can only be produced by ISOVER. We are talking about mineral wool for structures designed to withstand a certain load, such as plaster facades, flat roofs, soundproof floors. For this, in production, using special equipment, the fibers of the material are redirected, giving thermal insulation boards required strength characteristics. The advantages of hard quartz-based ISOVER grades are lower weight and increased speed of installation of thermal insulation compared to basalt-based mineral wool slabs.
Basalt based mineral insulation
Mineral insulationISOVER basalt based is made from rock melts. The material has a wide range of applications, ranging from heat and sound insulation of premises, ending with use in refractory structures or even agriculture... Basalt fiber based mineral wool is fire resistant solution, resistant to mechanical stress and temperature deformations.Benefits of
Mineral wool has a number of competitive advantages, thanks to which it has been the first choice of consumers for a long time. Among the most important characteristics of ISOVER mineral wool:- effective level of thermal protection;
- high-quality sound insulation;
- belongs to the group of non-combustible materials (melts of rocks and quartz are used in production);
- vapor permeability (allows the walls to "breathe");
- durability;
- moisture resistance (has a hydrofiber impregnation);
- environmental friendliness (safe for human health and environment);
- low weight - for light brands;
- excellent resistance to mechanical stress - for hard brands;
- ease of installation.
Application area
ISOVER materials cover vertical, horizontal and inclined structures requiring insulation and sound insulation... The product portfolio includes both universal materials suitable for complex insulation of walls, roofs, floors in one product, as well as solutions developed for each separate design.- Facades with external plastering layer
An up-to-date solution for multi-storey, cottage and private housing construction. The popularity of this insulation system is due to the high thermal engineering uniformity due to the absence of "cold bridges".
For facades with a thin plaster layer a heat-insulating material is needed, which, in addition to thermal protection, must serve as a supporting base for plaster layers. Choose products with high mechanical strength. Among the ISOVER thermal insulation we recommend an innovative mineral wool solution - ISOVER Plaster Facade (for the multi-storey segment) or ISOVER LIGHT Facade (for low-rise buildings). For those who are accustomed to working only with stone wool, the products ISOVER Facade-Master (for cottage and low-rise buildings) and ISOVER Facade or ISOVER Facade-Plus (for project development) have been created.
Thermal insulation system for facades with thick plaster layer has a base layer thickness of more than 20 mm with movable fastening with special elements (mesh and anchors) to the walls of the building. In such a design, the insulation performs the function of thermal protection and must have a minimum coefficient of thermal conductivity. For this type, a material based on ISOVER OL-E mineral wool has proven itself well.
Choice effective material and adherence to the six steps for competent insulation plaster facade will help to ensure a comfortable temperature in the premises and durability of the external appearance of the building. video instruction on insulating a plaster facade from ISOVER experts using the example of one of the objects in Krasnodar.
- Ventilated facades
If it is necessary to carry out construction work regardless of the season and implement a variety of architectural ideas, preference is given to the system of hinged ventilated facades with the use of mineral wool insulation. For a one-layer insulation system, which is common in the reconstruction of facades or construction in regions with warm climates, we recommend using mineral wool based on ISOVER VentFasad Mono quartz or ISOVER VentFasad Optima, and on the basis of basalt or stone fiber - ISOVER Venti. As a single-layer thermal insulation in facade systems with air gap on balconies and loggias of buildings, it is allowed to use the material ISOVER VentFasad-Niz LITE.
Two-layer insulation system can consist entirely of stone wool, for example, the bottom layer - ISOVER Light or ISOVER Optimal, upper layer- ISOVER Venti or ISOVER Optimal. A widespread version of a two-layer solution is made of mineral wool based on quartz (ISOVER VentFasad Top and ISOVER VentFasad Niz or ISOVER VentFasad-Niz LIGHT) and a combination of mineral wool with basalt insulation, for example, ISOVER VentFasad Niz and ISOVER Vent.
- Flat roofs
Thermal insulation for a flat roof must meet stringent requirements: to provide effective heat and noise insulation, high fire resistance and durability of the roof structure, to maintain the original thickness and strength at maximum load.
These requirements are met ISOVER materials as for a one-layer insulation system- ISOVER OL-P (based on quartz), ISOVER Ruf (based on stone fiber) and for two-layer system... The choice here is wider - materials from mineral wool ISOVER OL-Pe and ISOVER OL-TOP, from stone wool ISOVER Ruf B, ISOVER Ruf N, ISOVER Ruf B Optimal, ISOVER Ruf N Optimal.
Video instruction on competent thermal insulation of the structure flat roofs from the ISOVER experts can be viewed.
- Pitched roofs
For efficient heat and For sound insulation of pitched roofs, a special product with low water absorption has been developed - ISOVER Warm Roof. For those who prefer basalt wool, we recommend using ISOVER Warm Roof Master or ISOVER Optimal.
- Frame walls
For reliable insulation and sound insulation of walls during the construction or renovation of a house, summer house or apartment, we recommend the material ISOVER Warm Walls based on quartz or ISOVER Master Warm Walls based on basalt.
For frame house construction in the project segment ISOVER offers the ISOVER Frame series of products. They are available in mats and slabs with different levels of thermal protection.
For individual construction and insulation of the whole house with one basalt-based material, a special product ISOVER Frame House has been developed.
- Partitions
Modern partitions made of rigid facing materials and soft mineral wool fillers today have become an excellent alternative to massive walls for noise protection. Mineral wool in this design absorbs a significant part of sound energy, converting it into thermal energy. The stone wool ISOVER Acoustic will help to achieve the maximum effect, as well as the insulation based on the mineral wool ISOVER Zvukozashchita or ISOVER Silent House.
- Floors
The sound insulation of the floor may not be load-bearing - the device of the floor on the logs, (for this case, the materials ISOVER Quiet House for private housing and ISOVER Karkas-M40 for multi-storey construction were developed) and loaded - floating floor device... In the second case, it is possible to protect oneself from impact noise... To solve this problem, we recommend stone wool for floors ISOVER Flor and mineral wool ISOVER Floating
A professional solution for protection against airborne noise in all types of structures for houses and apartments will be provided with mineral insulation based on basalt ISOVER Master of Acoustics.

Thermal insulation materials are used to insulate houses and apartments. With the help of them, you can reduce the monetary costs of heating. In addition, they can improve the sound insulation of walls, floors or ceilings. For insulation and sound insulation of houses and apartments, materials such as expanded polystyrene, mineral wool, polyurethane foam and cork are most often used.
Polyfoam is a porous and lightweight insulation. It is made of polystyrene by foaming. It is considered one of the best (at a low cost) in relation to other thermal insulation materials. Produced as slabs different sizes, density and thickness. Has good thermal insulation characteristics, since it consists of tightly connected sealed balls filled with air or gas.
Advantages of expanded polystyrene:
- low coefficient of thermal conductivity - 0.035 W / m · K;
- ecologicaly clean;
- does not allow humid air to pass through;
- able to serve for decades;
- not subject to decay;
- windproof.
Polyfoam is easy to install by one person, as it is lightweight. It is used both inside the living space - walls, ceiling, floor, and outside. Trim it different surfaces: wooden, brick, concrete and others.
It is not used as sound insulation, since it has weak sound insulating properties.
Extruded polystyrene foam
Externally, extruded polystyrene foam is similar to conventional foam, but has a higher density and less thickness. An extruder is used in its production. Due to this, the extruded expanded polystyrene has closed cells of the same size.
Due to its high density, extrusion is used in the construction of railway and highways as well as runways. This material has excellent strength, so it can be used not only as thermal insulation, but also as an auxiliary or supporting structure.
Positive qualities of extruded polystyrene foam:
- does not absorb liquids;
- does not sit down;
- not afraid of chemicals;
- does not rot and does not overgrow with mold and fungi;
- service life - about 50 years;
- has one of the lowest thermal conductivity coefficients.
It is used for insulation of walls, ceilings, floors, foundations in private houses, apartments and industrial facilities. Also, like polystyrene, it is used only as thermal insulation.
Polyurethane foam
Consists of two components: polyul and isocyanate. By mixing these substances on special equipment, you can get polyurethane foam different state- from elastic to stiff. Polyurethane foam has one of the best thermal conductivity coefficients, therefore it is used for heat and sound insulation of residential buildings and other objects. The consistency is similar to foam.
It is applied to any structure by spraying. In just a few seconds, a durable and seamless layer of thermal insulation material is obtained. It is important that all the rules for the application technology are followed. Only qualified specialists should work with this thermal insulation, using the appropriate equipment.
Positive characteristics of polyurethane foam:
- operating temperature - from −150 ° С to + 200 ° С;
- thermal conductivity coefficient 0.022-0.028 W / m · K;
- sprayed onto any surface;
- a solid and monolithic layer is formed;
- has anti-corrosion properties;
- long service life;
- environmentally friendly;
- excellent soundproofing material;
- does not require additional transportation costs, since all the components are brought by the service company.
Basalt wool
During the production process, from the molten basalt rock processed according to a special technology, mineral wool is obtained. Additives and binders are also added. Basalt slabs are used to insulate residential premises and other buildings. They are very convenient for installation, as they are easily cut with a knife. They can be given any desired shape and installed close to the structures of the house. Basalt slabs are often used as sound insulation on exterior or interior walls.
It is convenient to insulate inclined surfaces in attic buildings with mineral wool of the required thickness. Basalt wool is well suited as a device for fire protection of parts of roofs and roofs in houses with stove heating and baths.
Basalt wool properties:
- low hygroscopicity;
- high sound insulating ability;
- easy to process;
- has low deformation;
- is non-combustible material;
- has high thermal insulation qualities.
Cork
Ecologicaly clean wood material made from oak bark and having a porous structure. All cells are filled with inert gas. Is different positive qualities in sound and heat insulation when used in residential premises. Not used outside.
Technical cork materials provide excellent sound insulation. It can be classified into three application groups:
- Agglomerate panels are made from crushed cork oak bark, followed by steam treatment and then pressed. Since the bark contains the suberin adhesive, unnatural additives are not required. Two types of panels are made: white - from the bark taken from tree branches, and black - from the trunk bark.
- Natural cork - used for decorating rooms. The panels are additionally coated with wax, after which they will not be able to absorb moisture and odors.
- Cork granules - used for insulating frame structures.
Technical cork is produced in three forms: sheet, roll, in the form of mats.
Roll insulation is most often used as a backing for wallpaper. It can be with or without antibacterial and refractory impregnation. It is produced in lengths of 10 m and a width of 30 cm to 100 cm. For fixing on the surface of the walls, special glue is used.
Cork in the form of mats and sheets is used to insulate floors, walls and ceilings indoors. Also well suited for soundproofing with inside roofs, the covering of which is made of metal or profiled sheet.
Plugs of cork:
- low thermal conductivity -0.042 W / mK,
- it is resistant to deformation;
- good sound insulating performance - reduces noise by 17 dB;
- excellent antistatic properties;
- environmentally friendly;
- durable;
- natural material.
Working with a cork sheet does not require additional physical efforts, since it is easily cut to the size of the shape and is easy to install.
In rooms with high humidity, the cork coating must be protected with waterproofing materials.
Heat and sound insulation panel manufacturers
On the market of heat and sound insulating materials, cork insulation is represented by the Portuguese company Amorim Group.
The most popular brands of basalt wool are:
- Paroc;
- Isover;
- Linerock;
Well-known trade brands of expanded polystyrene are Penoplex, URSA and TechnoNicol. Knauf is the most popular foam manufacturer.
Installation of mineral wool on the walls
The procedure for soundproofing walls with basalt wool:
- A frame is made on the wall from wooden beams... The distance between the vertical posts is made 2 cm less than the width of the insulation.
- Basalt wool slabs are laid.
- TO wooden frame the strips are fastened in a horizontal position - for mounting the gypsum board.
- Plasterboard sheets are installed. Screwed onto horizontal crossbars with self-tapping screws.
Expanded polystyrene plates are installed in a different way - they are attached to the walls or ceiling with glue and special plastic dowels-nails.
Only environmentally friendly heat-insulating materials should be used in houses and apartments. Cheap basalt wool will contain hazardous phenol formaldehydes. During the heating of the insulation, they begin to turn into volatile compounds that are harmful to human health.
Insulation made of expanded polystyrene is best used for insulating floors (filling with a screed), balconies, loggias, since it is highly flammable. When the foam burns, it emits toxic fumes that cause poisoning. Also, expanded polystyrene does not allow moisture to pass through, therefore, in houses or apartments with poor ventilation, the microclimate will worsen.
Do you sleep badly and feel uncomfortable? Have you become annoyed for any reason? The best materials for sound insulation for an apartment will help to cope with your problems and create conditions for a good rest.
The reasons for poor sound insulation are:
- the inadequacy of the construction of the house to the norms and standards;
- malfunctions of fences. Voids and gaps reduce sound insulation;
- noise beyond measure in the apartments of neighbors or from the street from the outside.
Every owner of an apartment or house makes every effort to solve the inconvenience of everyday life and to protect themselves from unnecessary noise. Sound insulation is required to create comfortable living conditions, both in your home and for avoiding conflicts. Active games for children, home theater, musical instruments - a partial listing of objects and related activities for scandals.
To determine the choice of raw materials, it is necessary to establish the type of noise.
Distinguish:
- Air. Sounds transmitted from outside by air: busy traffic, deafening music, industrial plants.
- Shock. Drilling walls, hammering in nails during repairs. However, specially designed insulation is necessary when carrying out systematic work using a jackhammer.
- Structural. The road transmits vibration to the walls of the apartment, converting it into decibels.
Attention! The noise from the motorway reaches 70 dB.
Soundproofing materials absorb sounds from the outside or prevent them from spreading out of the apartment. It is required to find suitable material for the interior of the room.
What to look for when choosing a sound-absorbing material for your home?
When conducting work on sound insulation, one should take into account:
- The dimensions of the room.
For small rooms - a children's room or a bedroom - a plasterboard sheet is suitable, which will not reduce the usable area. V spacious rooms install sound-absorbing multilayer structures in a special frame, taking up a lot of space. Styrene, mineral wool or craft cardboard.
- Purpose of the premises.
Materials suitable for the bedroom should not be used in a kitchen that is prone to high humidity and temperature fluctuations. Select resistant insulating materials.
- Texture.
Its use in monolithic concrete houses differs from frame buildings. The quality of sound insulators depends on the price.
- Invoice quotation.
It is required not only to correctly combine sound insulators and sound insulating materials, but also to take into account their quality properties. The purpose of the texture is interior decoration premises, therefore, substances harmful to health are excluded from the composition: bitumen and lead, mercury and formaldehydes, volatile resins, EPDM compounds and volatile resins.
- Sealing joints and cracks.
Integrity and solidity are required in structures. Therefore, all unnecessary holes and holes are eliminated. Unsealed joints, bare air pipes, risers and sockets reduce noise insulation. Sealing joints with soft mastic or sealant.
- Qualified installation.
To achieve an effective result, you need competent mounting. Qualified noise insulation, renovation and decoration workers will come to the rescue. It is important that sound insulation based on design ideas corresponded to the interior inside the apartment or house and did not interfere with the implementation of engineering communications.

Collect the frame. If the walls are thin, attach the profile to a rubber backing. Minvata or other material as a noise absorber is embedded in the prepared crate. The structure is covered with plasterboard sheets. Putty, finish.
Assembling the soundproofing panel
If the surface is flawlessly even, the panel is installed directly on the wall. Fastening with a recess-protrusion lock or with construction glue. The problem of leveling the wall covering is solved in two ways: by assembling the frame as in the case of installing drywall or putty.
Panel assembly is fairly straightforward. No finishing required as surface coating is available. Various materials and colors: paper tapestries, fabric, wood or stone lamination.
Pasting roll-up noise insulators
They save money and time. Convenient to use. Adhesive is used for dense vinyl or non-woven wallpaper. The work is not very difficult, the result is good for inexpensive material... Roll-up sound insulators cope with 60% of the noise.
Noise insulation for partitions
As a rule, sheathing with two - or three-layer sheets is used. Installation is carried out in different variations: drywall, plywood, magnesia glass or gypsum fiber sheet. Construction of 2 layers drywall sheets with a gypsum fiber sheet has not only massiveness, but also positive resonance properties. Vertical fastening of sheets with screws at a distance of 25 cm so that the layers are connected with a shift. The joint of the slabs is sealed with a putty or silicone sealant.
