lisäeristeistä

Lisäeristeistä refers to additional insulation applied to a building or structure beyond its original or standard thermal insulation. This is a common practice in renovations and energy efficiency upgrades to improve the building's thermal performance.

The primary goal of adding lisäeristeistä is to reduce heat loss during colder months and heat gain during warmer months, thereby lowering energy consumption for heating and cooling. This can lead to significant cost savings on utility bills and a more comfortable indoor environment.

Various types of insulation materials can be used for lisäeristeistä, including mineral wool, fiberglass, foam boards, spray foam, and natural materials like cellulose or wood fiber. The choice of material depends on factors such as the location of the insulation (walls, roof, floor), budget, and desired performance characteristics.

Common applications for lisäeristeistä include retrofitting older buildings that were not built to modern energy efficiency standards, upgrading insulation in attics or basements, and adding exterior insulation to walls to create a continuous thermal barrier and minimize thermal bridging. Proper installation is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the added insulation and prevent moisture-related issues.
