Why is Building Insulation Important?
Water, which is an indispensable resource for life, can be destructive and damaging in some cases. In these cases, it is very important to stay away from water and the harmful effects of water. The essential waterproofing systems of the construction sector ensure that the buildings are longer lasting and durable by keeping the structures away from the effects of moisture and water.
Waterproofing should be started first from the roofs, which are the hats of the buildings. It is necessary to isolate both the sub-roof floors and the roof skeleton and the upper surfaces from external factors as much as possible. In this way, it is possible to live comfortably and safely in the buildings.
The moisture and water contained in the soil can pass through the capillary pores of the structures and cause undesirable conditions such as mold, yellowing, shedding and fungal formation. This situation leads to the shedding of plasters, damage and weakening of the main columns and side support units, shortening the life of the buildings.
Moisture and unpressurized water contained in the soil pass through the concrete pores and cause adverse conditions such as mold and fungus in the structure. The waterproofing system is very important in order for plasters not to crack and shed and materials such as wood not to rot.
What is a Membrane?
A membrane is a basic insulating material that is laid on the lower or upper layer of surfaces that are in contact with water and prevents the passage of water. Preventing the passage of water in and out, the membrane helps to maintain the condition of construction materials such as concrete, steel blocks, construction wire and bricks, which are important to keep dry and keep away from moisture, and to keep the structures standing smoothly for many years. There are many different membrane models available according to their quality, structure and price.
What are the Types of Membranes?
There are different types of membranes used in the building construction industry such as polymer, polyethylene, bituminous, modified, slate and liquid. The water drainage mechanisms located on the roof of the structure and around it help to reduce the pressure and density of water accumulated underground, but cannot guarantee the complete protection of concrete from water. Wrapping the roof floor, foundation and concrete columns with membrane and similar insulation coatings prevents corrosion and increases the water resistance of the structure to the highest level.
What Do Membrane Prices Vary According to?
The price of membrane types manufactured for the construction sector may vary depending on the brand and model of the product. In general, membrane prices may vary depending on various aspects such as the thickness, quality, content, structure, durability and technical characteristics of the product.
