LET’S START AT THE BASE: THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Perhaps when reading the title of this section you have been a little puzzled, thinking about the extent to which building materials can protect your house from the cold. Well, it is much simpler and more essential than you think, since the correct use of materials and having quality materials will guarantee greater protection against the cold.

Stone and wood also have great insulating potential, ideal for the coating of interiors, and also exteriors, as well as floors.
WE ORIENT THE STAYS ACCORDING TO THE CLIMATE OF THE AREA
Muñoz Lanzas Construction, we are expert builders in all the Costa del Sol area and we carry out all kind of projects throughout it. That is the reason why we know that another fundamental aspect to guarantee the insulation of the cold in the house is the orientation of the rooms.
We advocate orienting the rooms according to the climate of the area in which the house is being built, taking into account where the sun rises, in which areas it has a greater incision and therefore which will be warmer. In the warmest areas of the house we will place the main rooms, to achieve good thermal insulation of walls and ceilings.
On the contrary, which is the area that receives the coldest winds and has less solar reception, we will place the other rooms that are not going to be so used, or those in which life is not made daily.
AIRTIGHTNESS: A KEY ALLY TO INSULATE THE HOUSE FROM THE COLD
The airtightness is essential to guarantee correct protection of your home from the cold. Isn’t it annoying when the windows don’t close properly and you can hear the noise from the street? Well, it will be even more so in winter when, not only the noise from the street is heard, but also the cold comes in at this time of year.
In addition, airtightness is also closely linked to energy saving, in relation to the cold. Why is this? Well, very simply: if the windows do not close correctly and you have the heating on in your home, the room will never finish heating up and you will have to have the heating on all the time; with the consumption and energy expenditure that this entails.
On the contrary, if you have a good thermal insulation system you will not have to make such frequent use of the heating, as, when you see that the house is already warm, you can turn it off and the internal temperature will be maintained; which means greater energy savings.
