What are the advantages and disadvantages of new external wall fireproof and thermal inuslation matertials?
The new external wall fireproof and thermal inuslation matertials have both the advantages and disadvantages. Advantages: 1)Low requirements on the waterproof, weather resistance and other technical indicators. The dry wall and gypsum plastering mortar, etc. can meet the requirements and can be easily obtained; 2) The inner insulation material are separated by the floor, and construct within a height of only a storey , without erecting scaffold ; 3) In the hot summer and cold winter or hot summer and warm winter area, the inner insulation meets the requirements; 4) The glass beads overcome the shortcomings of expanded perlite, like, large amount water absorption, easy powdering, big volumetric shrinkage in the slurry mixing process, easily leading to post-insulation product performance degradation and hollowing, cracking, and also make up for the defects of polystyrene particles organic materials, like, flammable, poor fire performance, producing harmful gas at high temperatures and anti-aging, poor weather resistance, poor workability and large rebound in construction, ect. Disadvantages of external wall insulation : 1) Since the ring beam, slab and column structure would cause thermal bridges, leading a greater heat loss; 2) It is of low intensity, high water absorption, easy to shrink and crack. The insulation system is prone to cracking, leaking or loss and other common quality problems, especially it is easy to crack at the seams, thus being difficult to exsit as long as the building. 3) It is inconvenient for the users to redecorate and hang ornaments; 4) It takes up indoor used space;

STP has a certain chance to self-destruct. After the sealing layer is damaged, the property will be bothered. When filling the foam glass, burst foam cement and low-strength glass fiber, the structural requirements are very high with big spraying limitations. As everyone knows that rock wool absorb organic matters, and the government do not allow us to use self-insulation, so it is not the mainstream with too low adoption rates. In fact the owners shouldn't worry about this problem. Since the developers have installed it for you, it is useless to worry about it. The other is that for those who want the original balcony closed up, if you want to shovel the original balcony wall insulation, you must pay attention to ask the construction team before you start. Because it is common that the cold bridges formed thereby will cause water seepage and moisture condensation in the balcony.
