Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right insulation company?

Check if the company has experience with the chosen insulation system, request references from similar projects, ask for a detailed quote specifying materials, and ensure they offer a written warranty.

Is roof insulation more important than facade insulation?

25-35% of building heat loss occurs through the roof. The optimal combination is insulating both facade and roof. If budget allows only one intervention, the roof takes priority.

What is a thermal bridge and how is it eliminated?

A thermal bridge is an area with higher thermal conductivity than the rest of the structure (window sills, lintels, corners). It can cause condensation and mold. It's eliminated by continuous facade insulation and correct detailing.

How much does thermal insulation of a house cost in Zalău?

The cost depends on area and insulation type. A facade with 10 cm polystyrene averages 60-120 RON/sqm including materials and labor. A 150 sqm facade can total 9,000-18,000 RON.

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.
