Insulation & Insulation
WHY THERMAL INSULATION?
Thermal insulation creates a warmer and milder or colder environment in indoor spaces according to seasonal values, creating a more comfortable and economical atmosphere by saving energy.
Exterior thermal insulation can prevent many problems that will occur on the interior facades of buildings over time, as well as completely protecting the exterior walls of your building from weather conditions and other effects, allowing for a longer-lasting and new-looking structure.
According to the seasonal weather conditions, in summer, the effect of the cooled air in the indoor environments and in winter, with the opposite effect, the effect of the heated atmosphere in the indoor environments stays inside for a longer period of time, prevents hot or cold air from entering the inside, preserves the heat inside and thus saves energy. Even the energy savings generated in this way cover the cost of exterior thermal insulation within a few years and reflect the comfort it creates to our lives.
The most efficient and effective application of thermal insulation is achieved by applying it to all areas where heat leakage and bridging may occur in the building. It should not only be applied to the exterior as it is customary. Thermal insulation should be applied to every surface in contact with the external environment, from the foundation of your buildings to the roofs.
In the basement floors, the walls in contact with the soil require thermal insulation from the outside of the basement walls to prevent condensation water. A thermal insulation to be applied under the foundation and as a complementary element, siding / natural stone cladding / quality sheathing to the entire exterior facade, as well as water and heat insulation to be applied to the roof and terraces will both extend the life of the building and prevent damage and additional costs that may occur over the years. With thermal insulation, dampness due to condensation inside the building is also prevented. Legally, new regulations are also in the direction of thermal insulation in buildings.
If the sheathing is also made with fire-resistant products, it also prevents or slows down the flame in a very effective way in case of fire in the building.
Thermal insulation is used not only in buildings, but also in furnaces, coolers and power plants, where heated air flows from high temperature to cold, to prevent heat loss to the environment when used together with the right quality product and application in accordance with the expectations.
WHY SOUND INSULATION?
Today, with technology, the excessive increase in noise has increased the need for sound insulation and in some cases made it compulsory. Sound insulation is a type of insulation made to reduce the negative effects of sound in buildings in order to minimize the damages of noise, which has negative effects on human health.
Noise is an energy created by the vibration of materials. Noise is one of the most important factors that negatively affect human health and productive working environments. Sound insulation aims to minimize the harmful effects of these sounds, called noise, by isolating the environment from unwanted sounds.
Sound in buildings is caused by airborne or impact noise. Airborne noise, such as loud music and speech, is caused by the vibration of sound waves in the atmosphere. Impact-induced noise is the result of objects hitting each other. These two types of noise can be prevented or minimized with sound insulation thanks to different installation applications.
Sound Insulation Applications
– Home Studio, sound recording studio, TV and radio studios sound insulation applications,
– Sound insulation applications between neighboring walls in buildings,
– Sound insulation applications between slabs in buildings,
– Exterior sound insulation applications,
– Sound insulation applications in machine rooms, generator rooms, elevator rooms, booster room, boiler room,
– Presentation room, cinema room, home theatre sound insulation applications,
– Meeting room, conference room sound insulation applications
WHY WATERPROOFING?
Waterproofing
In order for buildings to remain comfortable and durable in the long term and not to wear out; The application made to prevent water intake from the interior, exterior, foundation and roofs is called “waterproofing“. Buildings are exposed to water due to rain, snow, dew, hail, groundwater, domestic water (water leaks in wet floors such as kitchen, bathroom, toilet), pressurized or unpressurized groundwater on the ground where the building is located.
Water is one of the most important hazards that threaten the durability and life of all kinds of structures. Water seeping into the buildings from the environment causes corrosion of the reinforcement elements in the body and carrier parts of the buildings and causes a decrease in the load carrying capacity. It causes deterioration in the main carriers of the buildings, causing cracks and fractures in the buildings in the slightest ground movement and earthquake. In addition to this, water ingestion of buildings leads to the formation of harmful mold, fungus, blackening, flowering and other organic substances, threatening the structure and human health.
Waterproofing Protects Buildings
Water damage to buildings is one of the most important hazards for the safety of life and property, especially in earthquake-prone areas. Water seeping into the building reinforcement in any way causes corrosion (abrasion) in the building reinforcement by freezing and heating or chemical reactions. With the corrosion of the reinforcement, the strength of the reinforcement will weaken and will negatively affect the life of the building.
Waterproofing Provides Comfort
Water is an essential element to be protected for our buildings. Soil moisture and unpressurized water pass through the pores of concrete and building elements, causing the formation of organisms such as mold, black stains and fungi in the interior environment. This, in turn, causes materials such as wood on the interior surface to rot, plasters to swell and spill, reinforcement in columns and curtain walls to rust, disrupting our comfort and causing additional costs.
Moisture and mold caused by moisture cause bad odors in buildings. Preventing moisture through waterproofing will prevent such bad odors. Waterproofing will not damage the durability of buildings by preventing water from weakening the structure of buildings, and at the same time, it will prevent the formation of organisms such as bacteria, mold, etc.
Today, the service life of buildings is approximately 60 years. Without insulation, the negative effects of water will reduce the service life of buildings. This is an important loss for the country and private property owners. By eliminating this loss with waterproofing, the limited natural resources of our country will be used economically.
Statistically, it was determined that 60% of the damaged buildings examined after the earthquakes had corrosion (rusting), 38% lack of materials, 15% lack of watering the concrete during the construction phase, 10% aging and wear, and 2% project errors.
The cost of waterproofing during the construction phase is approximately 3% of the building cost. The durability of buildings is the most important factor to be considered conscientiously. Waterproofing to be done;
For effective waterproofing, the insulation application must cover all structural elements of the building, from the foundation to the roof.
-Walls, foundations and slabs in contact with the ground, exterior walls, balconies, terraces and sloping roofs below the level where water can accumulate outside the structure or where water can flood,
-Wet areas such as bathrooms, washbasins, kitchens and bathrooms,
-It is built in structures such as water tanks, artificial ponds and pools that we want to keep the water in.
Cement InjectionFrequently Asked Questions
What is the best waterproofing material?
Waterproofing materials should be selected according to the purpose of use and the region to be applied; the water pressure in the environment, the structure of the ground, the movements expected from the structure, the possible loads on the product, climatic conditions and the details in the structure.
