Ok, make a new subject, because I made photos of each step.
I think there is a way for a good handyman to do it yourself.

Yes and no:

1) must see if you can get the technical certificates of conformity (especially fire behavior), if not, the pros cannot use it

2) attention: you are sometimes quickly surprised by the fixed costs, sometimes more expensive than the goods.

As an indication, bringing a 38 tonnes (Turkish, Turkish driver) from Turkey cost around 2500 euros in 2008. I'm talking about the price of transport and I don't know if the truck came back loaded or not.

Fire behavior?
Social houses were isolated in this way near my home.
Fixed costs, no big surprises, but there is a trick.
The truck? 1000 euros, I paid. (Polish transport)

Finally, here is my comparison chart insulators. (Promised a long time ago to Christopher on another thread) It compares my price I got for various insulation with equivalent thermal resistance !!

This is the result of the small market study that I realized in October 2006, prior to the isolation of my attic (Region of Liège, Belgium.). And we feel really, this insulation, even if it is only a beginning. 8)

On reflection, I'm not quite on the price of extruded PS (polystyrene foam), I had to make a note of decision error, it seems low to me. And I feel a little silly to have left 4 decimals in an excel formula : Oops:


Thanks to Bolton069 for this comparison!

I have on this subject a more "pointed" problem whose solution is CRUCIAL for me!

How to determine the thickness of one or more combined thermal insulators to bring the temperature of cold sanitary water (copper pipe diam 15 and 22 mm) above 0 ° c in an unheated room where the temperature would be in winter by expl of -5 ° C?

What technical data and which formulas to apply?

Thank you for your suggestions, it is urgent to build my pipe protection box before the bad season!

I am thinking of 18 mm plywood walls lined with a plate (thickness ??) expanded polystyrene (less dense frigolite) or polyurethane (denser = less insulating and more expensive ??).
Inside glass wool and polyethylene climatubes on all pipes.

Is it better to leave the hot water pipe to the radiators GLUTEN climatube?

In the same vein, a French window double glazing insulates as well or not as what thickness of a wooden door?

unnecessary, false and incomplete table

This table does not speak of certain insulators.
This table only talks about the insulation against the cold while now the biggest problem will be the insulation against the heat.
The glass wool lobby is very powerful.

I have nothing against hemp wool, lime and hemp (I have some) but I think that the best sustainability and quality price ratio today is not in these so-called natural insulators.

Glass wool or rock wool is the biggest scam in the housing industry.
In fact, man is much less afraid of the cold than the hot.
Some people keep telling you about lambda, R = 6 or arreuh = mc2 to talk to you about insulation.

Go and live on the upper floors of all houses insulated with glass wool in late spring, summer or early fall. Impossible ; you have to put the air conditioning (= energy consumption, put the fan, close the shutters etc ...). The energy saved in winter is spent in summer. Bravo the calculation.

Me I would like to know of all these end lambda calculators that of glass wool in terms of insulation against heat. It is probably minus 100.

None of these lambda calculators has ever bivouacked in the high mountains by minus 25 or minus thirty; to bivouac means to sleep under the stars.

Well here is how to do it:

Dig a space 20 to 40 cm deep in the snow (it's for the wind)
Put your clothes and shoes in the down (that's for the gel)
Lay a survival blanket flat (thin sheet of aluminum in fact) (this is to insulate yourself from the cold - I would point out that you don't carry around with a glass wool roller)
Lay a square mat (that's for comfort)
And sleep very well in his down

The issue of insulation affects just as much, see more in the future with global warming (which will cause longer hot periods and colder cold periods) the question of insulating yourself from cold than from heat.
And for heat there is very little simple choice.

So yes, the best insulator against heat is the thin multi-layer insulation (no air conditioning necessary, no fans and shutters wide open - daylight is so pleasant)

Of course it must be put in the rules of the art and not as we lay everywhere glass wool between the rafters for example.

And for winter this insulator is also quite effective, even if its lambda is a little less than that of glass wool. In addition it avoids any allergy, allows to have no thermal bridge etc ...

No there is no photo actually.
Stop having this dirty glass wool installed.

I would never buy a house insulated with glass wool, never.

Mine is multi-layered in the Seine and Marne and I am very satisfied with it. But I repeat that we must ask it of course.

In this regard: would you be interested in seeing the formal notice received from a 16th century lawyer appointed by Rockwool?: Cheesy: : Cheesy:
