How to understand the selection and application of exterior wall insulation materials?
2023-07-18

Exterior wall insulation material is a material that can improve the thermal insulation performance of buildings. It is increasingly used in construction projects, which can not only reduce energy loss, but also provide good indoor suitability.


There are many types of exterior wall insulation materials, the most common of which are polystyrene board, glass wool, rock wool, etc. These materials have good thermal insulation performance, can insulate and heat, reduce the conduction of wall to external temperature, and improve the temperature stability of indoor space.


Polystyrene board is a common exterior wall insulation material, which is light, has good thermal insulation and is easy to use. The thermal insulation performance of polystyrene board mainly depends on its thermal conductivity. The smaller the thermal conductivity, the better the thermal insulation performance. In addition, polystyrene board also has excellent flame retardant properties, which can improve the security of buildings.


Glass wool is an exterior wall insulation material based on glass, which has good thermal insulation, heat insulation and noise reduction effects. The material structure of glass wool is unique, which can reduce heat conduction and has excellent sound absorption performance, providing a quieter environment for buildings.


Rock wool is a mineral-based exterior wall insulation material with good thermal insulation and fire resistance. The specific thermal conductivity of rock wool depends on the mineral composition and the density of the material. The greater the density, the better the thermal insulation performance. Rock wool has excellent fire resistance, which can delay the spread of fire and improve the safety of buildings.


In summary, exterior wall insulation materials are important materials for improving the thermal insulation performance of buildings. Polystyrene boards, glass wool, rock wool, etc. are all common exterior wall insulation materials. They have good thermal insulation, heat insulation and fire resistance, and can improve the energy efficiency and safety of buildings. When purchasing and using insulation materials, you should choose according to actual needs and requirements to ensure that the right materials are selected to achieve a good insulation effect.
