Garage warming - why is it necessary?
As a rule, it is customary for us to purchase metal garages. They have many pros and cons. The most weighty minus is the absence of any thermal insulation. This has a negative effect on the transport that is stored there. If your garage is cold, then what's the point of keeping your car in it?
In the garage it is as cold as on the street, the same dampness, in general, your vehicle is stored in very harsh conditions, which leads to accelerated wear of absolutely all units and assemblies of your iron horse. Want to keep your car - make the warming of the garage.
Choosing a method for the insulation of a metal garage
Having decided on the insulation of a metal garage, it is worthwhile to learn about all the ways and choose the best. In our time, the garage is insulated with virtually everything that they can. Some are fully blown with a mounting foam, the latter is covered with cardboard. All these approaches are rather simple, but ineffective. These materials are often toxic, easily light up, easily swell in cloudy weather.
You can consider many options, but the optimal and simple is the insulation of the garage foam. This method is fairly easy and does not require large financial costs, and most importantly - warming can be done by one's own hands. In general, some pluses and nothing more.
Getting ready for the warming of the garage
After all the thought and fundraising, you will have to produce small preparatory work for and purchase tool .To carry out the insulation of the garage with your own hands, you will need to put in order in it. To do this, take out all the details, tools, shelves and other things.
After it is necessary to check the metal for holes and seal them, it is advisable to brew with sheets of fresh metal. Also prepare a construction knife, saw( hacksaw), mounting foam( one large can).Do not forget to buy polystyrene with a minimum thickness of 50 mm( or better than 70 mm), putty on the foam, a few medium brushes, a trowel and liquid nails that can glue the foam to the iron. This is all you will be advised in the market.
Warm-up of the garage with our own hands - let's start
We move directly to the garage. We unpack foam and liquid nails. We apply the last to the entire surface of the foam plastic with a thin layer and press it against the wall. In this way pastes all side walls of from top to bottom. The main thing is to cut the foam as accurately as possible so that there are no gaps. Those places where the gaps have a place to be, gently blow out the mounting foam, and the extra cut off. Having warmed the walls, we make the roof insulation of the garage .This is done in the same way as in the case of walls, but liquid nails are poured out 20% more.
Do not forget about garage door insulation .As usual, they have the most slots, which means that all your work will go to waste if you do not insulate them. Glue the door in the same way as the walls. Joint, which separates the two halves of the gate, tightly blow out the mounting foam. Do the same along the entire perimeter of the gate.
Do not be afraid, you choose, it just makes it tight. With the help of a construction knife, carefully cut the holes in the places where the doors open. As a result, a rather tight and warm construction is obtained.
Insulation of garage doors is important to do on conscience, which means that you need to blow out seats with slots a second time, but to get a hood that covers that very slit. At the same time, we try to do everything so that we do not accidentally blow out the crack. It turns out a kind of wave over the cut. Now your garage is insulated. Do not forget to fill everything with a primer and bring in everything that was carried out.
