To make the convertible attic habitable and comfortable, it is necessary to provide adequate thermal insulation of the surfaces as well as good natural lighting. The convertible attic, being the terminal part of the building, has a large dispersion surface, which tends to be very hot in summer and very cold in winter. To improve living comfort inside the attic, it is necessary to install adequate thermal insulation materials to reduce the dispersion of heat. The thermal insulation of the walls can be carried out on the outside, by creating a coating, or on the inside, with the installation of thermal insulation panels.
The insulation of the crawlers can be done by applying an exterior or interior coating. It can also be done with an intermediate insulating layer of masonry. This last solution limits the problem of the reduction of the thermal inertia which occurs with an internal coating. It avoids the formation of condensation on the surface and also has excellent behavior in terms of acoustic insulation.
The main function of the thermal insulation layer is to create an insulating barrier capable of preventing the dispersion of heat. The outer layer has better temperature retention, also because the thickness creates a more comfortable environment. Thermal layers are produced with different materials, which are chosen according to customer needs.
Cavity wall thermal insulation is designed to quickly and easily insulate the exterior double walls of an existing building without having to demolish part of the wall. An exclusive solution with very high performance using nanotechnology is present on the market. It is an insulating barrier made up of a patented nanomolecule. The application of liquid nanocomposite thermal insulation creates a thin but tenacious barrier to the passage of heat, guaranteeing:
The insulation of the roof of the convertible attic is important to improve the comfort of the whole house, because it is the part most exposed to thermal excursions. It influences the internal temperature and creates inconvenience and waste of energy.
Thermal insulation can be achieved by placing insulating panels between the structure and the roof covering. The thermal insulation of the roof, associated with a high level cover, is very important for the quality of life of the occupants.
There are different types of insulation boards and tiles that contribute to optimal insulation. The choice of high quality materials is therefore of fundamental importance.
For the insulation of the roof, materials of natural and non-natural origin are used:
