Owners of suburban areas on which the doubles are erected, for sure, wonder how to insulate the baths from the inside with their own hands to be and relax in them could be really comfortable at any time of the year.
As is known, today the baths are made from a wide variety of materials, all kinds of designs and shapes, but in each of them they strive, first and foremost, to provide effective thermal insulation.
It is the quality and good insulation of all interior spaces is a must for every such structure.
Brick, frame, erected from a bar, cinder block or foam block, the bath can be insulated both from the outside and from the inside, however, many experts recommend carrying out all work in its internal space.
Of course, to ensure effective thermal insulation follows every room in the bath, but first of all pay attention to the steam room.
The insulation scheme can be very different, including using different materials.
Walls, ceiling, as well as the floor in the bath warming is best at the same time, using only high-quality material for this.

In order to make the indoor climate really useful for health, it is necessary to properly equip its insulation and do it both on the outside and inside.
Many experts recommend a frame, brick, built from a cinder block or some other block of a bath, to insulate it from the inside.

Despite the fact that this process is quite long and time consuming, since you need to properly process both the walls and the ceiling, you can do all the work yourself.
At the same time, before the beginning of all work, you should correctly assess your capabilities and study the technology of the work.
Choosing as a heater for any material, in the first place, you should pay attention to its practicality and quality characteristics.
Brick, frame, erected from a bar or cinder block bath, are warmed by one principle.
In any case, the walls and ceiling from the inside should be steam and waterproofed, protected from fire and be environmentally safe.
At present both natural and artificial insulators are produced.
In case when the main emphasis is placed on environmental protection during insulation, then only natural materials should be chosen, such as moss, felt, tow and so on.
It should be noted that if the walls and ceiling in a bath are insulated using natural materials, they will have to be treated with special compounds beforehand to exclude the formation of mold, fungus, and the appearance of insects.
Some natural insulation can be seen in the photo below. A simpler version is to insulate the sauna from inside with artificial materials.

As a rule, such heaters have fire resistance, good vapor barrier and are not subject to decay and decomposition processes.
In addition, with their stacking is easy enough to manage their own hands. Artificial insulation can be insulated as a brick and skeleton bath, and those that are built of cinder block or timber.
Some artificial insulators are placed on the photo above. More details on how to insulate inside the walls and ceiling of the bath with their own hands, is told on the video posted in our article.
Selection of
material Before you can insulate your own inside or outside with a frame sauna or built from a bar or slag block, you should first determine the material that will be used for this purpose.
We need to pay attention not only to its naturalness and security, but also to the appointment, as well as the appearance and, of course, the price.
By mechanical characteristics, all existing heaters can be conditionally divided into various backfills, blocks, plates, mats and plates.
Also heaters can differ and for some of their chemical properties.

So, there are organic and inorganic origin, techno heaters, as well as insulation based on some plastics. Each of these materials has both advantages and disadvantages.
For example, those materials that are created on the basis of plastics, it is better to use for work from the outside.
In turn, those materials that are of organic origin can only be used after special treatment.
More versatile and practical are those materials that have an inorganic origin. They are equally suitable for work both inside the bath and outside.
For example, when warming the steam room, it is better not to use foam and similar materials. Minvat can be used for these purposes.
Doing work on the warmth of the bath space from the inside, do not forget about its vapor barrier. As a material, you can choose your choice of roofing material, pergamene, as well as aluminum foil.
Many experts recommend to stop their choice on the use of mineral wool and aluminum foil in the complex.

These materials well protect the space of the bath from the inside, fireproof and safe for health.
In any case, before you warm yourself with a frame sauna or built from a bar or slag block, you need to carefully study the properties of each material and choose the most optimal.
More details on how to effectively insulate the bath, you can see the video posted in the section.
Thermal insulation of walls
As a rule, baths are insulated in a complex, using several different components.
The most common scheme of bath insulation includes simultaneous use of fibrous types of insulation and lining.
In order to realize it, it is necessary to perform an original frame in the form of a lath of a bar on the surface of the walls.
Further in a crate from a bar it is stacked an equal layer of a mineral wool or a similar material and carefully fixed.
After that it is necessary to lay a layer of vapor barrier, and for these purposes it is best to use aluminum foil. Then the entire surface is covered with fire-resistant lining.
This method of insulating the bath from the inside is the most effective and widespread. Its shortcomings include duration and high labor intensity.
At present, you can find insulation for the sauna, which simultaneously combines vapor barrier and waterproofing properties.
Their use greatly simplifies the process of warming the bath and allows you to reduce the amount of work. To such universal materials it is possible to carry, for example, foamed penoter.

In the event that the walls in the bath are made of any panels, it is best to use those heaters that have a relatively low weight, for example, reed plates or expanded polystyrene.
In this case, they will additionally have to be treated with special compounds that will increase the refractory properties.
The frame surfaces of walls in a bath are best insulated with special slabs created on the basis of fibrolite or cane.
In any case, the use of heaters in the form of blocks that have the appropriate characteristics, makes it easier to perform the work.
Thermal insulation of the ceiling
At the final stage of work on the insulation of the bath, it is necessary to properly insulate its ceiling.
Here it should be noted that it is on the ceiling of the bath has the highest temperature, which means that only fire resistant materials should be used.
It is not recommended to use for the insulation of the ceiling of the bath from inside with polystyrene, which is usually supplied in blocks and is subject to burning.
In the event that the sauna has an attic, then to start the ceiling board should be treated with ordinary clay, which will retain moisture.

Then follows in all the cracks between the planks from the attic side densely covered with chips or expanded clay.
Also outside the ceiling in the attic space, it is possible to use a foam block in the form of a heater, which should be tightly laid and tightly sealed all the seams.
For those baths that do not have an attic, the ceiling insulation scheme is slightly different from the previous one. In this case, the materials used should be laid in layers.
For example, to begin with a vapor barrier is attached to the surface, followed by a heater and a layer of skin.
The procedure may vary, but in any case, the technology of ceiling bath insulation should always remain unchanged.
When conducting the insulation of the ceiling in the bath, special attention should be given to the place through which the chimney duct passes.
In the junctions it is necessary to make an indentation and separate the insulation material from the surface of the pipe.
In any case, insulate the bath from the inside is only necessary with quality materials that have the appropriate characteristics.
For more details on how to perform the warming of the bath from the inside, it is told on the video, which is placed in the article.
