Successful examples and options
The cork material is comparable in coefficient to that of foam. This allows you to carry out finishing work in corner houses, apartments or houses that are located in an open area when joining a balcony, loggia or after redevelopment. Also, cork insulation is used when decorating recording studios and other work spaces to achieve maximum noise isolation. You can use a special soundproof and soundproof membrane AntiSoundif necessary.
The effect of insulation and sound damping will be more pronounced in a room, the wall of which goes, for example, into an entrance. Panel houses with concrete walls do not retain heat well, so if one floor of the apartment faces the entrance, then a lot of heat will escape from the house and it will be cool. It can get very cold during the winter.
Sometimes solutions are found in the interior when the walls are decorated only with a cork backing instead of pasting wallpaper. It looks quite interesting and harmonious.
For more information on wall insulation with a backing, see the next video.
There are substrates 1). Noma Therm 5mm x 0.5m x 10m Polystyrene, 1 side cardboard. 2). Background under the wallpaper Polyfom 5mm x 0.5m x 14m. polyethylene, paper on 2 sides At different forums, when asked about sound insulation, the answer is one - it does not protect against airborne noise, all with a low thickness and density. But the manufacturer positions them as sound-reflecting, from impact noise, with a reduction of 20-25 dB. Question: is it really possible to protect itself, at least somehow, from low-frequency (sub-buffer) impact noise, and as I understand it, in this case, the impact noise coming from my room will be better isolated than from outside.

Naturally, if one speaker just stands on the floor, and the other on a polyphom substrate, then the last bass has exactly 20 decibels worse sausages. I checked it myself.
It looks like this is a joke. In general, impact noise includes individual impacts of objects, be it falling "bodies" or impacts of a sound wave (air) concentrated on a small floor area or wall, the same big "drum" in a drum kit or a subwoofer. It meant that the backing for the wallpaper and the backing for the laminate, the parquet works in the same way, from the side of the source of impact, Is that so?
nothing will help from the sub. low-frequency vibrations are transmitted along the structure of the building. in such cases, only very massive walls are extinguished
Good day. Our substrate material is a complete analogue of Polyph. The technical characteristics of this material are presented on our website, in particular, the frequency sound absorption coefficient at a thickness of 10 mm ">. From this we can conclude that cross-linked polyethylene foam insulates only high-frequency sounds, percussion (punch noise, heel sounds, etc.). Unfortunately, only cotton wool will save you from the sounds of the subwoofer, which will entail a considerable decrease in the internal volume of the room.
cotton wool absorbs frequencies in the middle range and above, for low frequencies it is absolutely transparent
Penolon, you work quickly.
I wonder if my wall adjacent to the neighbors is already sealed with a sound-insulating panel (frame, mineral wool, plasterboard) - is such a background for wallpaper on the same wall suitable? (a lot is not enough).
If you think logically, the sound, according to the manufacturer, will be reflected, you will get 20 dB more, from one wall it will be reflected from another, from the floor, from the ceiling, an excellent thing for increasing the sound level in the room.There are sound-absorbing materials in the room besides your ears and noodles what is the seller hanging up? Penolon, is your sound absorption data modestly written as a percentage? Alice, this material for working with impact noise is when you hit the floor with a hammer, or hit the wall with your fist or head.
How to insert the heater?
Any wall insulation in an apartment is almost the same.
Only the adhesives recommended by the manufacturers are changed. If you throw it away, you can use the heater step by step in the room:
- The walls are clean old wallpaper.
It is advisable to align them and go through the whale layer - The surface of the wall should be primed better than deep penetration. Some masters use PVA for the same purpose. The adhesive layer is applied to the wall in two layers
- Adhesive heater structure is applied to the wall and heater
- Cut and straighten the material with a roller or spatula to avoid air bubbles
Attention please!
The adhesive background of the heater must be at least 72 hours old. At the same humidity and temperature, they should remain unchanged. Avoid drafts!
Heater cost
The price range of this product may vary depending on the manufacturer chosen, as well as on the material itself. Below is the average price for each item:
- Wallpaper for rollers, the price ranges from 800 to 1000 rubles.
total area 5 m2. - Cork insulation. Depending on the thickness of the product, it can vary from 800 to 6000 rubles.
- Polyphony. 1100 rubles., On the package.
Total area 7 m2.
The most common of all the submissions was polyphobic. It is easier to stick to the wall, and if you follow all the manufacturer's recommendations, completely insulate the walls of the room.
Opinions about heaters against the background of Polif
Lena.
The outside wall in the kitchen was damp. What we haven't tried with my husband. Friends recommend Polyphon. With it, it heats up with a wall previously treated with an antifungal agent. This winter, for the first time ever, the wall is completely dry.
Semyon. I didn't trust the advertiser about the Polifu heater but decided to give it a try. Advertising continues to exaggerate. There was not much warmth in the room, but at least there was no ice, so you could touch the walls.
In principle, the result is complete.
Video about thermal insulation material Polifom
The characteristics and specifications of the Polypom installation are described in the accompanying video.
Self-adhesive foil sealing thermal insulation
Modern heat-insulating self-adhesive sealing tape is very popular. It is used everywhere: for walls, windows, various pipes, and so on. But why is self-adhesive insulation so popular?
Glue-based heaters
The fact is that thermal insulation of this type has two useful functions at once: insulating (sealing) and soundproofing.
In addition, this type of insulation for pipes, windows and walls can also absorb moisture, thereby reducing heat transfer in the building and significantly increasing the efficiency of saving heat in the room.
It is because of its widespread use that the self-adhesive sealing system, be it roll or foil, has gained its recognition and popularity.
But what types of it exist and what is their specificity?
Under-wall heater for walls inside the house
To do this, you must stick to a background with special insulation that can achieve the following results on the wall:
- Removal of moisture and effects: fungi, mold, etc.
- Thermal insulation of the room. The temperature rises by about 1-2 degrees
- Wall inequality correction.
After gluing the insulation against the background, small imperfections are hidden under a layer of heat-insulating material - Possibility of autonomous implementation.Heated seal walls have their own shades, but are basically the same as the adhesive backing
So the benefits are clear! But how do you choose the most suitable insulation for the back wall? What to focus on in addition to price?
Ecohit underlay
Another way to level and insulate walls is the Ecoheat wallpaper backing. It allows you to increase the operational characteristics of the room. The material is supplied in rolls, which are made of polyethylene foam covered with paper on both sides. The manufacturer especially recommends using this material in those rooms that have a partial exit of the walls to the street or have a staircase.
The substrate allows you to waterproof the base surface and wallpaper, because it does not absorb moisture and excludes the formation of fungus. On sale you can find several varieties of this insulation, it can be made of foamed polyethylene or have a cork base. The third type is a backing made of repair non-woven fabric, which is a vapor-permeable material and guarantees wall ventilation, reliably masking defects.
Brief installation instructions for Polyphom
It is quite easy to glue on walls with Polyf, and even a beginner can cope with this work. The main thing is to follow the instructions and perform all the work in stages:
- We prepare the base surface. To do this, remove old wallpaper, dirt, peeling plaster from the walls. If there are large depressions or bumps (more than 5 millimeters), we align and putty.
- After plastering the surface, we treat it with a deep penetration primer to improve adhesion.
- Preparing the canvas of Polyphomus. We make accurate measurements of the wall, cut pieces of material of the required size.
- For gluing the insulator, it is recommended to use an adhesive designed for non-woven and vinyl wallpaper. This is usually PVA.
- If the room is too humid, then baguette glue or "liquid nails" should be used.
- We apply the composition to the canvas and leave it for 5-10 minutes.
- We apply it to the wall with Polyph and press it, smoothing it with a special spatula in different directions.
- We glue the next strip strictly end-to-end with the previous one.
- The joints between the canvases can also be glued with masking tape. This will provide additional strength to the coating.
- We leave Polyf to dry before proceeding with wallpapering. It usually takes 72 hours to dry completely.
For gluing wallpaper, you can use the same glue that you used to attach to the walls with Polyf.
Watch the video review of Polyfom: Insulation for walls under the wallpaper Polyfom is an innovative material that performs several functions at once. It provides good thermal insulation, protects against the penetration of extraneous sounds and noises into the room, and evens out the base surface. The process of gluing Polyphom is practically no different from working with ordinary wallpaper.
Types of heaters
If you decide to insulate the room in this way, then the first step is to decide what material you should buy.
The market offers many options, among which you can find:
- insulating wallpaper made of expanded polystyrene;
- polyethylene foam covered on both sides with a treated paper covering;
- glue-based foil backing;
- heat-insulating plaster, which includes all the same expanded polystyrene.
Particular attention should be paid to cork roll insulation, which is currently considered one of the best materials used for this purpose.
In addition, it perfectly hides irregularities on the walls, which makes wallpapering much easier.
Cork insulation should be glued to the walls with a special glue, since ordinary glue will not be able to hold the dense mass of this material.
Reviews about the substrate "Polifom"
"Polyfom" for wallpaper, reviews of which it is recommended to read before purchasing a product, is a layer that increases the adhesion properties of the base surface and decorative coating. Not so long ago, it was customary to use old newspapers as substrates. However, they can show through a thin coating, in addition, with their help there is no way to achieve wall alignment. Newspapers in this capacity are a thing of the past also for the reason that they do not allow achieving a heat-insulating effect.
Already today on the market you can find dense vinyl cloths that eliminate the need for leveling. Today, the background under the wallpaper has the functions of sound and heat insulation. "Polyfom" under the wallpaper, reviews of which it is useful to read before visiting the store, is a material that, in the opinion of consumers, performs many functions.
The right to use this trade name belongs to Polifoam Ltd Co, which operates in Hungary. Today "Polifom" is the only material in Europe that has the ISO 9001 certificate. This, as users emphasize, is sometimes decisive when choosing.
