YEAR-ROUND INSULATED MOBILE HOMES – ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIVING WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
Year-round insulated Super Arktik® FAMILY mobile homes are becoming an increasingly popular choice for those looking for affordable, energy-efficient, and flexible housing. Thanks to high-quality insulation, they provide comfort throughout the entire year – whether during hot summers or freezing winters. A mobile home today no longer means only seasonal accommodation, but a full-fledged solution for permanent living with low operating costs. In this article, we take a closer look at the benefits of the designed insulation, the materials we use, and why it pays off to invest in a year-round habitable mobile home.
Insulation of the Super Arktik® FAMILY mobile family home using a combination of mineral wool (10 cm + 5 cm) and hardened PUR foam (11 cm in the floor) represents a high-quality thermal insulation solution with multiple benefits in terms of thermal comfort, sound insulation, and durability. Let’s take a closer look:
1) MINERAL WOOL – WALLS AND CEILING.
Excellent thermal insulation.
- Thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) approx. 0.035–0.039 W/m·K.
- Combination of two layers (10 cm + 5 cm) minimizes thermal bridges.
- Thermal resistance R = 4–4.2 m²K/W.
Excellent acoustic insulation.
- Mineral wool has a high ability to absorb noise. Ideal even in noisy environments or near roads.
- It also helps reduce noise caused by wind, rain on the roof, and everyday household operation.
Non-combustibility (fire reaction class A1).
- Mineral wool is non-flammable and slows down the spread of fire.
- In mobile homes with wooden structures, this is an important safety feature.
Vapor permeability.
- Mineral wool “breathes,” allowing water vapor to pass out of the structure, reducing the risk of condensation and mold.
- With this wall composition using mineral wool in the Super Arktik® FAMILY home, it represents a long-term healthy insulation solution.
2) PUR FOAM – FLOOR.
Excellent insulation properties.
- Lambda value approx. 0.022–0.024 W/m·K, better than mineral wool or polystyrene.
- Thickness of 110 mm = thermal resistance up to R = 5–5.5 m²K/W, ensuring minimal heat loss through the floor.
- PUR foam eliminates gaps and air leaks, filling even small cavities that traditional insulation materials cannot reach.
Vapor barrier and waterproofing.
- PUR foam also acts as a vapor barrier, preventing moisture penetration from the subsoil into the interior.
- At the same time, it provides partial waterproofing, which is especially suitable if the mobile home is placed on a damp surface.
Low weight and high load-bearing capacity.
- PUR foam is extremely lightweight while offering high compressive strength, making it ideal for floor applications.
Summary of the benefits of the complete insulation system.
- Thermal insulation: high resistance in walls (R ≈ 4–4.2) and floor (R ≈ 5–5.5).
- Elimination of thermal bridges: layered mineral wool (in two directions) + seamless foam filling.
- Acoustic comfort: mineral wool effectively reduces all types of noise.
- Fire protection: mineral wool is non-combustible, PUR foam slows down combustion (self-extinguishing).
- Protection against moisture and mold: vapor-permeable walls + vapor-impermeable floor.
- Long service life and stability: suitable for mobile homes due to transport, placement, and potential relocation.
- Low weight: PUR foam and mineral wool do not overload the structure.
