Does the condition of the wall affect the quality of insulation of external walls?

The installation of an insulation system has many advantages that significantly increase the comfort of everyday life of the household members. However, many owners of buildings, whose walls are not in the best condition and have cracks or defects, wonder about the sense of installing insulation, the functionality of which may be impaired due to these defects. Does the poor condition of external walls have any impact on the quality of the insulation?Insulation of external walls is a system of thermal insulation of utility or residential buildings, which is very effective in fighting building cooling down. Uninsulated walls absorb up to 75% of the heat obtained from electric heating, which generates high electricity bills and ruins the home budget. Therefore, it is worth first of all to focus on an appropriate thermal insulation system that will minimize monthly bills and contribute to maintaining the optimal temperature inside the building. Matching practical and functional insulation is the perfect solution to many problems that occur in non-insulated properties. The main ones are the cooling of the walls, the multiplication of viruses and molds, harmful to the human body, the lack of proper air circulation, unpleasant odors and high energy bills. In order to remove these inconveniences, you should consider investing in insulation, which will not only remove the above-mentioned problems, but also protect the walls against damage and negative weather conditions. Can the current condition of the external walls of our property affect the quality of insulation?

What is the impact of the condition of the building’s external walls on the quality of the thermal insulation system?

When we decide to install external wall insulation, we usually come to a point where the walls of our property leave a lot to be desired. Of course, the lack of insulation for a very long time causes fungus in the walls and contributes to the formation of cavities and cracks due to the harmful effects of high temperatures, intense rainfall or extreme frost. Then, before the qualified employees of a professional company dealing with the installation of thermal insulation start their installation work, their task is to first prepare the cracked walls so that the insulation system adheres to the walls and protects them without any problems. So if we insulate damaged and fungus walls, the entire insulation may not fulfill its functions, which will result in further degradation of the building walls and lack of air circulation.

How does wall insulation affect their strength?

Proper wall protection by installing insulation is an excellent solution to many problems with maintaining a moderate temperature inside a building while strengthening the structure of the entire property. The insulation creates additional layers that protect the walls against mechanical damage, cracks or the formation of cavities as a result of the negative effects of weather conditions. Properly installed insulation, secured with high-quality materials, ensuring constant air flow, finished with high-performance renders, is a guarantee of reliability and durability for many years. Therefore, it is worth betting on a professional and specialized finishing company that will help you match the appropriate materials and perform the assembly within a few weeks.

Why is it worth insulating walls that require refreshing?

Installation of insulation is not only a guarantee of obtaining the optimal temperature and preventing the growth of bacteria and absorption of moisture by the walls, but also an excellent way to refresh the entire facade and additionally strengthen the building structure. If your property has defects in the facade, cracks or any other damage, the application of further insulation layers is the perfect solution to problems with the formation of damage. Durable layers, such as polystyrene, specialized mesh or high-performance renders support the existing protection of the walls, creating a high-quality coating resistant to cracking and damage. So if you are the owner of a building whose walls are not in the best condition, it is even more worth investing in their additional protection and installation of insulation.
