I-Insulation yenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo zezakhiwo ezininzi oya kuzenza. Njengoko usenokuba uyazi, ukugquma kuthintela ukufuduswa kobushushu ukusuka ngaphakathi kwikhaya lakho ukuya ngaphandle. Igcina ukufudumala kwesakhiwo, ikuvumela ukuba uchithe ixesha ngaphakathi ngokukhululekile.
Kodwa xa kufika ixesha lokukhetha inkqubo yokugquma efunekayo kwisakhiwo sakho sesinyithi, unokuziva uphazamisekile kuzo zonke iinketho. Eli nqaku liza kukunceda uhlele kwiinketho zakho kwaye ukhethe imveliso efanelekileyo yokugquma kwiimfuno zakho ezithile.
Ukuba ufuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba uphumelele ekukhetheni i-insulation efanelekileyo kwisakhiwo sakho sesinyithi, kufuneka wazi izinto ezimbini:
Oku kuquka izoyikiso ezibangelwa kukujiya kunye nokufuma, kunye nendlela yokusebenzisa ukugquma ukukhusela isakhiwo sakho kwizinto eziyingozi ezifana nomhlwa kunye nokungunda.
Esi sikhokelo siya kunika iimpendulo ezipheleleyo kwimibuzo esoloko ibuzwa malunga nokugqunywa kwesakhiwo sesinyithi.
Ngexesha ugqiba ukufunda, musa ukumangaliswa xa uzifumanisa uyingcali kulo mbandela.
Uya kufumana ukuqonda okucacileyo kwenjongo yokugquma kwesakhiwo sesinyithi, yeyiphi imingcipheko ethintelayo, indlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba ukhetha ukhetho olufanelekileyo lokugquma, kunye nokunye okuninzi.
I-Insulation esetyenziswa kulwakhiwo ngokwesiko yimveliso esetyenziselwa ukwenza umqobo phakathi kwendlu yangaphakathi nangaphandle kwendlu, ehlala ixhomekeke kutshintsho lobushushu.
Injongo yokugquma kukugcina ubushushu obungaguqukiyo kwikhaya lakho kunye nokuthintela amaqondo obushushu angaphandle ukuba angangeni.
Umzekelo, ukugquma kuthetha ukuba ikhaya lakho liya kuba shushu ebusika nokuba kubanda kakhulu ngaphandle.
Oku kunokukunceda ukuba wonge imali eninzi, njengakumatyala ombane kunye neendleko ezinokubakhona zokulungisa ikhaya lakho, kwaye uqinisekise ukuba ikhaya lakho lihlala likhululekile nokuba liliphi ixesha lonyaka. Ngokuxhomekeke kwimozulu yakho, ukugquma kungafunwa ukuqinisekisa ukuba unokuchitha naliphi na ixesha ngaphakathi kwesakhiwo ngokukhululeka.
Kukho iinketho ezininzi kwiintlobo zokugquma. Ngamanye amaxesha ukugquma kungathatha imo yeepaneli zesandwich ezenziwe ngoboya okanye isinyithi, okanye sebenzisa iintsinga ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo ezivuthelwa phakathi kweendonga zangaphandle nezingaphakathi.
Ixabiso layo kunye neendleko zokufakela nazo zinokuhluka, ngoko kufuneka uqhathanise iinketho ngaphambi kokuba wenze isigqibo, ngakumbi ukuba unohlahlo lwabiwo-mali oluthile.
Ingakumbi xa ucinga ukuba izinto ezithile zokugquma zinokusebenza ngakumbi kwikhaya lentsapho enye okanye kwimozulu.
Ukuba uhlala kwindawo enamaqondo obushushu aguquguqukayo kunye nemozulu ebandayo okanye eshushu, isakhiwo sakho siya kufuna ukugquma. Izakhiwo ezikhuselayo zikwayindlela esebenzayo yokonga amandla.
Nokuba uhlala kwimozulu ezinzileyo, ukusebenzisa i-insulation yesakhiwo kunokunciphisa iindleko zakho zangoku nezexesha elizayo zokufudumeza kunye nokupholisa.
Ngaphandle kokuba uhlala kwindawo efanelekileyo yemozulu apho ukufudumeza kunye nokupholisa kwesakhiwo akufuneki, ukufakwa kwe-insulation kuyimfuneko ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kwe-thermal yesakhiwo. Olu lutyalo-mali oluya kongela imali.
Ukufakwa kwe-thermal kusombulula ezimbini zezona ngxaki zibalulekileyo ezijongene nezakhiwo: ukulawula ukushisa kunye nokukhuselwa kwe-condensation.
Inyani yokuba isinyithi sesinye sezona zikhokelo zobushushu ziindaba ezimbi kuwe. Oku kuthetha ukuba isakhiwo sakho asiyi kukwazi ukugcina ubushushu ngokufanelekileyo (ebusika) okanye ukulawula ubushushu (ehlotyeni).
Ukongeza, xa ukufuma kunye nokuxinana kungena kwisakhiwo sakho, kunokubangela umhlwa kunye nokungunda, okunokonakalisa isiseko sakho.
Ukujiya kwenzeka xa kukho umahluko omkhulu wobushushu phakathi kwesakhiwo nangaphandle kwesakhiwo.
Ukufuma emva koko kuqokelelwa kwiindawo ezingakhuselekanga (ngokuqhelekileyo uphahla kunye neendonga) kwaye kungene ngakumbi kwisakhiwo.
Ukufuma kukhuthaza ukukhula komhlwa kunye nokungunda, okuyingozi kwisakhiwo sakho njengoko kunokusenza buthathaka kakhulu iziseko zophuhliso, ekugqibeleni zikhokelela kumonakalo omkhulu.
Indlela esebenza ngayo kukuba ukugquma kusebenza njengesithintelo, kuthintela umoya obandayo ukuba usasazeke kwisakhiwo kunye nomoya ofudumeleyo ukuba ungaphumi ngaphakathi.
Ukubeka ngokulula, ukufaka i-insulation kufana nesisombululo esibanzi kwiingxaki ezininzi ezibangelwa yimozulu.
Ngokuxhomekeke kubungakanani, uyilo kunye neemfuno zokugquma kwesakhiwo sakho, uya kulungela ngcono ezinye iintlobo zokugquma kunezinye.
Umzekelo, ukuba isakhiwo sakho sineekona ezininzi ezimile ngendlela engaqhelekanga kunye neendawo ekunzima ukufikelela kuzo, ukugquma amagwebu okutshizwayo kuyindlela engcono kunezinye izixhobo zokugquma iipaneli ezisikwe ngaphambili.
Oku kunceda ngokwenene ukugxila kwiimfuno ezithile zesakhiwo. Ukukhetha i-insulation efanelekileyo akuyi kuqinisekisa kuphela ukulawulwa kokushisa okufanelekileyo, kodwa ekugqibeleni kuya kuba yinto ebiza kakhulu.
Ngokwesiko, izinto zokugquma zingafumaneka kwiivenkile ezininzi zokuphucula ikhaya, kunye nabathengisi be-intanethi. Makhe sijonge ezinye iindlela onazo.
Ukufakwa kwe-Insulation yase-US ngumthengisi wokugquma osekwe eCalifornia, ekunika ukhetho olubanzi lwazo zonke izixhobo zokugquma ozifunayo, ezifana ne-fiberglass kunye ne-foam.
Baya kukunika umbono wokuba yeyiphi i-insulation eyona nto ilungileyo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zekhaya lakho okanye isakhiwo, njenge-attic okanye igaraji.
I-USA i-Insulation inikezela ngaphezu kweemveliso zokugquma; Bakwabonelela ngeenkonzo zokugquma ezisuka kwiingcali eziqeqeshiweyo ezinokufakela ubushushu obuncinane nje ngemini.
I-USA i-Insulation ibonelela ngoluhlu oluphezulu lwezisombululo zokugquma amagwebu ezenziwe endlwini.
I-Home Depot ligama elaziwayo elinika abathengi uluhlu olubanzi lwezisombululo zokuphucula ikhaya njengephepha lodonga, umgangatho, ucingo okanye ukugquma ekhaya.
Banikezela ngoluhlu olubanzi lweemveliso, kubandakanya yonke into ukusuka kwi-fiberglass insulation ukuya kwisithintelo esikhanyayo okanye ukugqunywa koboya bamatye, okuthetha ukuba ungafumana impendulo kuyo yonke imfuno yekhaya lakho.
Ukukhetha i-insulation efanelekileyo yakho kunye nesakhiwo sakho ihlala ixhomekeke kwizinto ezininzi ezahlukeneyo, ezinokubandakanya oku kulandelayo:
Ezinye iintlobo zokugquma, ezifana nokuvala ukugquma kwesakhiwo, kunokufuna uhlobo olukhethekileyo lomatshini onokuvuthela i-insulation kuwo wonke umsele kunye nekona yesakhiwo, oku kuthetha ukuba kunokufuna iingcali ukuba zenze oku.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iipaneli ezifakwe kwi-insulated zinokuthi zifakwe ngokulula kwaye zisuswe, ezinokubenza bafaneleke ngakumbi abaqalayo.
Ukuqala kokubona, i-foam yokutshiza inokuba yeyona nto ifikelelekayo, kodwa ukugubungela iindawo ezinkulu, kuya kufuneka uchithe amakhulu eedola kwikhithi epheleleyo, kwaye iipaneli zinokuthoba iindleko zakho ngonyawo lwesikwere olugqunyiweyo.
Ewe kunjalo, oku kukwaxhomekeke kuhlobo lwe-insulation esebenzayo oyifunayo. Kwiindawo ezinobushushu obugqithisileyo, uya kufuna ukugquma okungaphezulu ukuze ubushushu bukwazi ukulawulwa ngokufanelekileyo. Kuya kufuneka uqwalasele ukuba loluphi uhlobo lokugquma oluya kusebenza ngokwenene. Ukuba wonga imali yokuthenga i-insulation engasebenziyo, imali oyiyongileyo ayikufanelanga.
Yingakho kufuneka uhlale uthelekisa iimfuno zokugquma kunye nazo zonke izakhiwo zentsimbi ngaphambi kokuba wenze naziphi na izigqibo.
I-Insulation ilinganiswa nge-R-value yayo. Banike ireyithingi yempumelelo yokugquma ekuxhathiseni ukuhamba kobushushu, ukuvuza komoya, kunye nesiphumo sokujiya.
Ngoko ke, kwi-insulation material kunye ne-R-value ephantsi nge-intshi nganye (njengeengubo ze-fiberglass), kunokwenzeka ngokobuchule ukunyusa ixabiso layo le-R ngokudibanisa ezinye iileya (ukwandisa ubukhulu bezinto).
Ngelixa oku kunokubonakala ngathi yenye indlela enomtsalane ekuthengeni ukugquma kwezakhiwo ezibizayo ngexabiso eliphezulu le-R nge-intshi nganye, kuya kufuneka uqwalasele ukuba sisisombululo esiyonga iindleko.
Ukuba iileyile ezininzi zongezwa, ixabiso lilonke linokuba phezulu kwaye inkqubo yofakelo / yokususa inokuba nzima ngakumbi.
Nokuba ukhetha luphi uhlobo lwesigqubuthelo, kukho imigangatho ethile ekufuneka ihlangatyezwe ukuqinisekisa ngokupheleleyo umgangatho kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kokungagcwaliswa kwesakhiwo sakho.
Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba ukugquma lutyalo-mali olufanelekileyo olunokukhusela isakhiwo sakho, luthintele ilahleko yexabiso kunye nokunciphisa iindleko zakho zamandla eziqhubekayo.
Ukukhetha ibhegi yokugquma yinto ekufuneka yenziwe ngokufanelekileyo okokuqala ukunqanda ukuchitha imali eninzi kamva.
Kubalulekile ke ngoko ukukhetha umboneleli ofanelekileyo ngokuqonda umgangatho kunye nobubanzi bomsebenzi wabo kunye nokuba baya kuzifanela na iimfuno zokugquma kwesakhiwo sakho.
Unokusombulula le ngxaki ngokujonga ukuphononongwa, iifoto kunye nolunye ulwazi malunga neenkonzo zabo zangoku kunye nomsebenzi wangaphambili.
