7 Common Home Insulation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
From insufficient thickness to the wrong choice of material — the most common errors that reduce the efficiency of thermal insulation.
1. Insufficient insulation Layer
Too thin a layer does not provide the necessary heat resistance, no matter how good the material is used.
2. Ignoring Thermal Points
Uncovered areas around windows, doors or structural corners partially nullify the effect of the insulation applied correctly in the rest of the house.
3. Uncertified or Quality White Materials
The uncertified ISO foam loses its insulation properties much faster, reducing the real life of the investment.
4. Application Without Initial Building Assessment
Each house has peculiarities (orientation, building materials, old age) that influence the optimal insulation solution.
5. Denial of Ventilation
Good insulation without an adequate ventilation system can lead to moisture accumulation inside.
6. Choosing the Wrong Type of Foam
The use of open cells in areas exposed to moisture (subsoil, foundation) is a common mistake that compromises sustainability.
7. Lack of a written guarantee
Without clear warranty on the material and workmanship, you do not have protection in the case of any subsequent problems.
How to Avoid All These Mistakes
A professional assessment, ISO 9001 certified materials and an experienced team are essential. IsoThermLux offers free consultation and 25-year written warranty for each project.
