Insulation material and its thickness are selected as indicated in thermotechnical calculation. At the same time, a layer of insulation is not a mandatory element of the NSF if thermal insulation properties of the outer envelope are provided by an array of main wall, then the hinged facade used in architectural and decorative purposes.
