Lisäeristysratkaisuja

Lisäeristysratkaisuja refers to supplementary insulation solutions in Finnish. These are methods and materials used to enhance the thermal performance of existing buildings. The primary goal is to reduce heat loss during colder months and heat gain during warmer months, leading to improved comfort and energy savings.

Common lisäeristysratkaisuja include adding insulation to attics, walls, and floors. For attics, loose-fill insulation such as mineral wool or cellulose can be blown in or laid over existing insulation. Wall insulation can be achieved by injecting foam or loose-fill materials into wall cavities or by adding exterior insulation boards during renovations. Floor insulation often involves adding insulation beneath crawl spaces or basements.

Another approach is to improve the airtightness of the building envelope. This involves sealing gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other penetrations to prevent uncontrolled air leakage. This is often done in conjunction with adding insulation to maximize the benefits.

The choice of lisäeristysratkaisuja depends on the building's construction type, current condition, and the owner's budget and goals. Professionals often conduct an energy audit to identify the most effective areas for improvement. Implementing these solutions can significantly lower heating and cooling costs, reduce the building's carbon footprint, and enhance indoor air quality by preventing drafts and moisture issues.
