What to check before hiring a thermal insulation

Graphite-enhanced (grey) EPS is more efficient than white EPS at the same thickness
Ask for references from similar completed projects and visit a site if possible
Don't sacrifice material quality to reduce cost — poor insulation costs more in the long run
Choose a minimum polystyrene thickness of 10 cm for facades and 15 cm for roofs
Request a detailed quote specifying brand and material type
Verify the company offers a written warranty for the insulation system

Frequently Asked Questions

What's more effective — polystyrene or mineral wool?

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is cheaper and easier to install. Mineral (basalt) wool offers better acoustic insulation and is fire-resistant. The choice depends on budget and building requirements.

How much can energy bills drop after insulating my home?

Studies show a well-insulated home can reduce heating energy consumption by 30-60%. The investment payback period is typically 5-10 years.

What polystyrene thickness is recommended?

Current standards recommend a minimum of 10 cm for facades and 15-20 cm for roofs. The greater the thickness, the better the insulation, but cost increases proportionally.

What is graphite-enhanced polystyrene and why is it better?

Graphite-enhanced EPS (grey EPS) has a thermal conductivity coefficient 20-30% lower than standard white EPS. This means better insulation at the same thickness.

Can I insulate only part of my home?

Yes, but specialists recommend insulating the entire thermal envelope for optimal results. Partial insulation can create thermal bridges and condensation in uninsulated areas.

How long does facade insulation take for a house?

For a medium-sized house (150-200 sqm built), facade insulation work typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the team and weather conditions.
