House in the style of old England.
The company where Martin itself works throughout England supplies high -quality warm windows from the PHV profile with triple glazing, with the filling of the volume between the windows of the double -glazed window crypton.
Such warm window double -glazed windows have a heat transfer coefficient no worse than 0.5 W/(M2 K), which is significantly lower than the construction norm in England – 2.0 W/(M2 K).
Naturally, Martin put a window of a famous company in his own house, because for him the price of PVC windows was much lower. At the same time, Martin saved about 9,000 pounds.
As a result, it turned out – windows, which were decorated on the dark for a dark oak and having all the differences and advantages of modern warm building structures, which perfectly complement the general style of the house.
Martin correctly used various building materials to warm his house. For example, the walls of the house are insulated with mineral wool mats with a total thickness of up to 80 mm, and under the roof the same heat insulator is already laid in a layer of 180 mm, to insulate the flooring of the floor, foamed polystyrene with a thickness of only 100 mm was used.
To significantly improve the sound insulation between the adjacent rooms, even interior partitions are sound-excited. In relation to all other costs of building a house, thermal insulation work was worth very little, and such monetary investments should have returned to Martin in the future thanks to the laws of saving on heating.
Martin, first of all, advises people to invest in the insulation of his house the maximum possible funds, since such expenses will certainly pay off with more than during the operation of the structure.
But still there were no stupid mistakes. For example, workers could not immediately mount the entire floor heating system in the house. And rubber heating pipes laid in the floor overlap began to flow. And a year later he had to replace this whole system, already using new polyethylene pipes.
Then the floor was already flooded with a cement mortar, however, the bitter experience very alerted Martin. And he is ready for the fact that if something is wrong with the floor in the house, then you will have to break everything again. However, to great happiness, it was only one inconsistency during construction.
