Foam and its main advantages

Foamyplex is a rather popular building material that provides reliable protection of residential premises from heat loss. Its use contributes to a significant reduction in thermal conductivity of that part of the structure where it is laid. It is available in the form of plates. This material is considered foamed polystyrene. Visually, it resembles ordinary foam.

Advantages

High strength (for compression and bend).

Minimum heat conductivity. It is due to this that this building material effectively holds the heat in the house.

Weak vapor permeability.

A long period of operation (at least fifty to sixty years).

Environmental purity and safety. During operation, any substances that are harmful or dangerous for life and health of people are not distinguished from the material.

Fire safety.

The ability to use at temperatures from -45 to +75.

Ease of use. Almost every home master will be able to carry out insulation with a foam.

Features of installation

Wall insulation using a foam from the site is carried out according to the standard scheme. The initially careful surface preparation is performed. It should be dry and clean. There should not be old paint, putty, etc. Additionally, you need to treat the surface with a primer with an antiseptic effect.

After that, the plates are fastened. In this work, special adhesive compounds are used. To choose the right glue, the manufacturer’s recommendations should be taken into account. The solution is applied to the material.

If you want the insulation to be as effectively connected to the plaster, then you can use the crush. With its help, the texture will be quite rough.

Krpenoplex can be used to warm not only internal, but also external walls. Its technical characteristics make the material very universal and effective. However, in the case of internal insulation, it is recommended to additionally mount a special film with polyethylene coating for the insulation. It guarantees improved vapor barrier. In the future, drywall is installed, as well as the necessary finishing work. As practice shows, even unprofessional builders who do not have rich experience in this area can cope with this task.
