Thermal insulation of a wooden house for siding - we perform the necessary calculations
Thermal calculations are usually carried out at the design stage of an apartment house, but it is not too late to make them and immediately before the walls are insulated under the siding. When calculating, you should take into account the following factors: the climate of the area where the house is being built;The mode of its operation( it can be seasonal and permanent);coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material used for work. It should immediately be clarified that during the seasonal operation of a residential house, which falls on May-September, these calculations may not be carried out at all.
Strict requirements for the insulation of seasonally exploited homes there! All relevant work is carried out strictly at your discretion and in accordance with your wishes.
As for houses intended for permanent residence, such calculations are mandatory for them. They are carried out on the basis of the standards in force in a given region.
So, if the walls of your house are made of coniferous timber with a thickness of 200 mm, then the thickness of the insulation layer will be 50 mm. When using a similar bar with a thickness of 150 mm, it will increase to 100 mm. Do not forget that the insulation of a wooden house under siding is carried out taking into account several factors, including the properties of the material used.
Insulation of walls under siding - choose insulation material
At the moment, the market of thermal insulation materials is saturated, both traditional products and a variety of novelties. You can easily find ordinary mineral wool or a more modern foam polyurethane. However, how to make the right choice among this variety? How not to throw money - in the literal sense - to the wind? For this, it is necessary to study the characteristics and performance characteristics of the most suitable materials.
First, let's pay attention to fiberglass heaters. Glass wool has been known for many years for its excellent fire-fighting properties, absence of unpleasant odor and resistance to increased humidity. In addition, its performance properties do not change with sudden changes in humidity, temperatures and over time. Glass wool perfectly performs the function of not only heat, but also soundproof material. It is available to a wide range of consumers and is represented by most famous brands.
For the insulation of facades, roofs, mansards, partitions and floors, materials based on basalt fibers are also widely used. They also prevent foreign noise from entering the house and are environmentally friendly. An up-to-date and rather high-quality material is extruded polystyrene foam. On sale it comes in the form of insulating boards, characterized by high density and closed cellular structure.
This material is characterized by the lowest possible heat conductivity, which can not but rejoice if the walls under the siding are insulated. Also you can choose your own foam polyethylene. It is based on high pressure polyethylene, which adds dyes, special additives to improve fire resistance, fire retardants, etc. Such material not only perfectly preserves the heat in the house, but also prevents the formation of condensation under the siding.
In addition, it is good to protect your home from extraneous noise. Thus, your attention is presented to a fairly wide range of insulation materials. It is enough to choose the most optimal option, which will meet the existing operating conditions, your preferences and financial possibilities.
Thermal insulation of the house under siding - choose the technology of mounting the material
To date, it is customary to allocate several technologies for installing insulation material. The first option is rightly recognized as maximally budgetary. It consists in the purchase of conventional roll warmers, which are glued directly to the wall and fixed in addition crate. The second option involves interframe insulation. In this case, the role of insulation is played by special rigid insulating boards. They are tightly inserted into the cells of the crate and attached to the wall with glue, mastic or screws.
It is quite effective to insulate the house under siding on a cross-skeleton. This technology is considered the most correct by most specialists, however the cost of materials and work is rather high. The fact is that the installation in this case is carried out in several stages. Firstly, a crate is fastened to the wall, the cells of which are filled with the selected material.
Secondly, on the first one another frame( crate) is mounted, which is also filled with a heater. In this case, undesirable cold bridges are successfully eliminated, which makes this technology as efficient as possible. feature of the second frame is that it is mounted perpendicular to the first. That is, if the first crate was placed horizontally, the second should be fixed vertically.
Thus, for the best quality insulation of a wooden house, you must stock up on time, patience, attention and, of course, financial means. They will largely determine what kind of material for insulation you will acquire, which editing technology you prefer.
