Insulation of the ceiling in a private house
Thermal insulation of a ceiling is a significant saving on energy carriers. Most often it is made from the attic. Various materials are used for this. The main requirements for them are good heat-insulating properties and at the same time the preservation of steam circulation in the room. According to the specified criteria, the following materials are suitable for this purpose:
- mineral wool;
- expanded clay;
- polystyrene foam;
- ecowool;
- penoizol.
There are various thermal insulation technologies, the application of which depends on the material used. The simplest and cheapest is the covering of the ceiling with mineral wool and foam. It is carried out from the attic. For this, the first thing to do is put a vapor barrier layer. It is cut into strips and spreads between the ceiling beams. The width of the strips should be 5 centimeters wider than the distance between the beams so that it can be attached. Then put the foam, and the gaps between the sheets are filled with mounting foam. The next layer is mineral wool, which should reach the upper edge of the beam. At the end of the floor boards.
Another popular method is the insulation with expanded clay. First of all put a vapor barrier and pour a layer of crumpled clay. In general, the layer of expanded clay should be a minimum of 15 centimeters thick. From above, a cementitious screed is made or planks are laid.
Note! Warming with other materials has a similar stacking technology.
Thermal insulation of the ceiling in the apartment
The insulation of the ceiling in the apartment is very important for the tenants of the upper floors. But even if the apartment is not on the top floor, then make protection for the ceiling will not be superfluous. The main criterion in the selection of material, in addition to low heat transfer, are good sound insulation capabilities. This is due to the fact that the concrete floors between the floors practically do not interfere with the noise produced by the tenants from above. This problem is not for tenants of the upper floors, so the material can be chosen without sound insulation.
Important! It should be borne in mind that the more layers of material are mounted, the lower the ceiling level.
Thermal insulation of a concrete ceiling begins with the installation of a crate of wooden rails or galvanized metal. To the crate and will be attached insulation and finishing material. To do this, you can use mineral wool, penoizol or foam. The simplest way is to glue the ceiling surface with foam plastic sheets. To do this, you do not need to do the crate, just fix the foam with glue. This method is worse in quality than the technology using the battens, but the cheapest, fastest and least labor-intensive.
Mounting insulation on the loggia
For the full insulation of the apartment is not superfluous and the insulation of the ceiling of the loggia, which in its technology is similar to a similar procedure in any of the rooms. To do this, a 3 mm thick foil, foam plastic, wooden strip, mounting foam and plastic panels are used.
Note! In addition to polystyrene, you can use the same materials as for insulation inside the apartment.
Along the walls are mounted wooden slats, on which the whole system will hold. Then the front side is put in foil, and then sheets of foam. There are a lot of fixing methods, but it's best to use wooden slats that are mounted on top of the foam. They are laid along the whole wall. The slots between the foam plastic foam are filled with foam. After this, you can start the plating with plastic panels.
