Vertical insulation and base plate insulation
Insulation of walls having contact with the soil is implemented according to the requirements from DIN 18195 section 4-6 with diverse materials. Alongside the generally known bitumen sheets or bitumen welding sheets, also utilized as vapor proof barriers with aluminium or copper inserts, plastic modified bitumen heavy coating dampness are becoming popular. Products from market leading suppliers, such as for example Deitermann or Remmers Construction Chemicals are processed by hand or machine as so-called point sealer. The dry coated insulation is required according to the necessity for a reinforced insert according to the loading case (base dampness, partial build-up of seepage water or build-up of ground water). Bitumen sheets are applied after the creation of a pre-coating through application by means of a flame-brush application or the pouring and roller process with hot bitumen and is finally given a top coating.
Bitumen welded sheets are welded with a flaming process (Burning-in).
There is a differentiation with block bitumen in unfilled, filled and with polymer bitumen. Plastic sheeting comprises for example of ECB (Ethyalene - Propylene – Terpolymere), PVC, PIB (Polyisobithylen) or EPDM and are generally hot air welded.
Additional possibilities for construction insulation is offered by cold self-adhesive sheets or rigid or elasticized, single or double component grouting components.
Special measures are necessary for insulation under greenery or also radon insulation. As a final protection against mechanical damage perimeter insulation panels made from extruded polystyrene resin foam, expanded polystyrene, polyurethane, foam glass or drainage sheets.
Plastic napping sheets are utilized with and without filter felt, directly onto the insulation with however an antifriction layer. For horizontal insulation protective felting or building mats can also be utilized.
