Wind protection is a special material that is designed to protect building structures from heat loss due to wind.
Types of windproof materials
Vapor -permeable – their installation is carried out over the insulation, passes moisture and removes condensate to the outside;
Vapor barrier – attached to the insulation. Do not let out warm/cold air from the house.
Output form:
Films and membranes;
Stoves impregnated by wax.
Whether windproofing is needed?
Two heat leakage mechanisms:
Infiltration – warm air passes through pores, cracks and cracks in the walls of houses;
Blowing – mineral wool insulations have a porous structure, so the air in them circulates quite freely, which can reduce the efficiency of thermal insulation several times, it is for this that a windproof lining is needed.
Also, windproofing can perform the functions of moisture insulation.
