CONT

Insulation : Material used to make a building more energy efficient and is located in roofs, walls and floors. They are classified according to form :(1) k) loose fill(2) flexible(3) rigid(4) reflective and(5) foamed-in-place. All types [are] rated according to their ability to resist heat flow(R-Value)... Flexible-composed of organic fibers generally used in areas where it is not practical to install AE fill or where the attached foil or Kraft paper facing is desired as a vapor barrier. Flexible insulation's can be wrapped with Kraft paper on the edges and a vapor barrier on one or both sides. Faces has a vapor barrier on one side only.

OBS

flexible insulation: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

CONT

Si vous souhaitez utiliser les combles simplement pour entreposer des objets : Posez un isolant rigide si votre sol est plan. En l'absence de plancher, déroulez un isolant souple entre les solives. Recouvrez ensuite l'isolant de plaques de plâtre «spécial sol» ou de panneaux de particules de bois qui permettront un aménagement ultérieur. Vérifiez bien sûr que votre structure permet cette surcharge.

DEF

Thermal insulation prepared by mixing the ingredients with a foaming agent immediately before placement, either by pouring the material into enclosed cavities or by application with a spray gun.

CONT

[Foamed-in-place insulation] is made of types of plastic such as : polyurethane, urea formal-dehyde or trichlorofluoromethane, and is injected in walls or roofs, by pouring or spraying, as a semi-liquid foam, which quickly solidifies. This type of insulation is subject to shrinkage, degradation and moisture problems.

CONT

"Foamed-in-place insulation. This is a polyurethane product, made by combining a polyisocyanate and a polyester resin. "

OBS

Les mousses à projeter. Les mousses de polyuréthane sont aussi proposées sous forme liquide, en récipients ou en bombes aérosols, pour injection ou projection sous pression : leur expansion en mousse et leur polymérisation s'effectuent au contact de l'air; on les utilise en calfeutrement de joints et de passages de canalisations, ainsi qu'en isolation par injection dans des emplacements difficiles d'accès.

CONT

Isolant liquide. Il est composé de matériaux injectables : la mousse d'urée-formol ou la mousse de polyuréthanne. On l'injecte dans les murs ou certains types de toits, et il devient solide presque aussitôt.
