Proper insulation of a house with polystyrene can significantly reduce heat loss and energy costs, but incorrect installation can lead to moisture and mold issues. Choosing the right type of polystyrene, such as expanded (EPS) for facades or extruded (XPS) for areas exposed to moisture, is crucial. The thickness of the insulation should be determined based on various factors, including wall material and climate, rather than solely on price. External insulation is generally preferred for maintaining wall warmth and minimizing thermal bridges. Proper installation involves preparing the wall surface, ensuring adequate adhesion, and avoiding gaps between panels, which can lead to heat transfer and moisture problems. Addressing humidity sources before insulation is essential to prevent mold growth.
