Penoplex: reviews and practical use

Penoplex immediately after its appearance in the construction industry has gained immense popularity among developers. It is made of ordinary foamed polystyrene foam. Fame Penoplex, reviews of which speak for themselves, acquired after revealing its excellent ability for thermal insulation.

To imagine its true value, you should consider its features in more detail:

• The weight of this heat-insulating material is very small, which makes it possible to perform works on its installation without involving complicated construction equipment and considerable labor costs.
• Unlike some other samples of chemically synthesized substances, penoplex (reviews This is confirmed) is completely safe for people's health, since it does not emit harmful fumes into the environment.
• High compressive strength makes it possible to use it even under rather difficult conditions.
• Full airtightness, through which gas exchange between the room and the environment will only go through ventilation, will avoid unnecessary heat loss

Even with a small thickness of foam (reviews of builders are very good) has excellent thermal insulation qualities. In particular, it is for this reason that it can be used for interior wall decoration. Given that for this enough tiles with a thickness of 5 mm, the amount of living space of the room is almost not affected.

With the exterior decoration, everything is somewhat more complicated, since it is necessary to take into account certain factors that builders do not take into account at all. In particular, such aspects include the inadmissibility of fixing the insulation to the walls, when there is no ventilation gap between it and the finishing material.

The fact is that due to the above mentioned total air impermeability, penoplex (reviews testify to this) becomes an insurmountable barrier to the formed condensate, which leads to a gradual destruction of the structure.

That is why it is possible to insulate the facades only in cases where there is a reliable layer of waterproofing on the outer wall. Of course, if the characteristics of the finishing material do not prevent the installation of ventilation gaps, it is also not forbidden. In all other cases it is more reliable to use ordinary foam.

Thus, for outdoor works it is better not to use a foam foam insulation. The testimonies indicate that it is much more practical for them to perform internal thermal insulation. Among other things, such work can be done at any time of the year. Especially good for its use in those cases where it is required to warm a loggia or balcony.

In addition to these advantages, we can note the good ability of the material to soundproof the room. It is this quality that has made penoplex (characteristics, reviews of which are described above) a welcome acquisition for owners of old apartments, in which the neighbors are perfectly audible. It will be much cheaper than buying specialized noise insulation.
