Thermal insulation

hot, cold and costly?

Thermal insulation saves heating costs

The rising cost of heating has made people more energy conscious. Essentially, people are paying more attention to their annual oil, gas and electricity bills because we can see that maintaining the heat supply eats up a significant portion of the family budget that could be used for other purposes. What's more, extreme summer heatwaves with temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius put an unprecedented strain on the building fabric and its residents. It is therefore no wonder that Cemix facade insulation systems , which protect against both cold and heat from outside, have become an essential part of modern construction.

Where is the heat escaping?

Most heat usually escapes through the external walls, although this will vary considerably depending on the type of building. This can be as much as 30-40% of the total heat loss.
The amount of heat loss is essentially determined by the heat transfer coefficient of the structural elements and the materials used in the insulation system. This depends, among other things, on the material and thickness of the walls and individual elements, the number of layers of render, the quality of the insulation and the method of construction.

A clever investment

Investing in insulation pays immediate dividends for property owners. Energy-efficient properties are more attractive to buyers and tend to sell faster and at higher prices in the competitive real estate market. The initial cost of insulation is quickly recouped through increased property value, making it a smart financial move.

MAXIMIZING PROPERTY VALUE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Return on investment of modern thermal insulation systems

The decision to invest in a modern thermal insulation system is proving to be more than just a home improvement; it's a move that can significantly enhance property value. According to recent surveys, properties undergoing renovation with upgraded insulation systems witness an average value increase of 10-15 percent.

Beyond the immediate return on investment, the financial benefits extend to lower utility bills, with heating and cooling costs showing substantial reductions over time. This article explains the details of investing in insulation and shows how this seemingly simple decision can lead to returns and long-term energy savings.

Insulation planning in renovations and new builds

Insulation planning in particular requires a large number of considerations. Modernisation projects have special requirements, but new buildings also require forward-looking planning. How are technical regulations developing and what impact does this have on the valuation of buildings?
