We heat the frame house with mineral wool from the inside and out

Material for insulation

Many years of practice showed that the best insulation for a frame house is mineral wool. It is used in housing construction in various climatic zones.

Minvate is produced in rolls and plates. In comparison with other types of heat-saving products, cotton wool has the best technical and operational characteristics.

The most important parameters of mineral wool are:

• low thermal conductivity;
• resistance to deformation without loss of performance;
• small specific weight.

The technology of work on the insulation of mineral wool walls is quite simple. It can be mastered by almost every person who knows how to work with his own hands.

The construction industry enterprises produce a wide range of materials with low thermal conductivity.

The source of raw materials for their production are non-metallic natural resources, industrial waste and foamed synthetic substances.

Thermal insulation of a frame house is a responsible process and it is necessary to clearly imagine which mineral wool should be used for this purpose.

Slag,

For its production, slag is used, which is formed in blast furnaces during the smelting of cast iron.

The slag panels are of low cost and high heat-saving characteristics. However, this heater is very hygroscopic and has an increased acidity.

Therefore, the insulation of the frame house is not slagged.

Steklovata

This insulation is well known in the construction market. The basis for the production of glass wool is limestone, quartz sand, dolomites and glass "battle".

Glass wool has a high porosity, it can compress up to five times. Among the shortcomings noted low heat resistance and the need to use personal protective equipment when working with it.

Basalt wool

This type of mineral wool has received the greatest distribution. As a raw material for its production, rocks with basalt content are used.

Basalt slabs are not flammable or hygroscopic. At the same time, "stone" cotton wool has a vapor permeability, it can be used for insulation both inside the house and outside.

Home frame warming technology

The walls for the frame house are thin plates that need to be insulated. The experience of operating such houses shows that the insulation must be carried out bilaterial - inside and out.

To achieve maximum effect, it is necessary that the insulation fill the entire frame unit.

When preparing for warming the house with basalt cotton wool, you need to remember that the ceiling and the floor also need to be taken into account. Through them, as well as through other nodes and elements of the structure, there is a heat leak.

Thermal insulation material must be protected from moisture through a special waterproofing film.

Today in the production of frame houses used two technologies.

The first is called frame-panel, when all elements of the future house are assembled in the factory.

The second is a frame-frame. In this case, the preparation and assembly of the frame house is carried out on the construction site, respectively, and the walls of the mineral wool are insulated at the place of erection.

Panels of this structure have a layered structure.

And they consist of the following layers:

• interior finish;
• vapor barrier layer;
• heater, fixed in the frame;
• waterproofing layer;
• facade cladding.

Carrying out the warming of the walls with mineral wool by own hands can be guided by this structure.

Insulation from inside

Before starting the basic works on laying insulation from the inside of the house, it is necessary to conduct appropriate training.

All dirt and dust are removed from walls, floor and ceiling. All protruding objects - nails and screws - are pulled and twisted in the required order.

If crevices have been found between the elements of the frame structure, they should be fixed with a mounting foam.

The damp sections of the frame can be dried using a building hair dryer.

After that, the waterproofing foil is laid and fixed on all the surfaces to be protected. It is stacked in rows, overlapping. The size of the overlap must be at least 10 cm.

The next step is fixing the heater. According to the current standards, the frames of the frame house should be located at a distance of 60 cm from one another.

The size of the mineral wool sheet is the same - it should fit tightly into the cell of the frame. On top of it, the film is attached for vapor barrier insulation and after that the finishing of the room is carried out.

Completing the insulation of walls from the inside, it is necessary to deal with the insulation of the floor and ceiling.

Before laying floors, it is necessary to lay a layer of mineral wool under the floor covering. The laying process is almost the same as for wall warming.

It is very important not to forget about laying and fixing the vapor barrier film.

In a similar way, the ceiling is also insulated.

External insulation

When you have to choose to insulate the house from the inside or outside, then experts advise you to use the second option.

It is more effective because it immediately cuts off cold air from the exterior surface of the house. The internal insulation does not let the heat to the outer layers of the wall.

The insulation of the frame house from the outside must be carried out in a certain sequence.

At the first stage, a vapor barrier film is attached to the wall. In this capacity, there can be used parchment, aluminum foil or polyethylene membrane.

Then the frame is made of wooden beams. You can use metal profiles, but they will cost considerably more.

The insulation of the walls of the frame house from the outside is done with mineral wool in sheets. Use in this case, the roll insulation is not technologically, although it is not forbidden by instructions for carrying out the work.

The frame, which is fixed from the outside, must have cells according to the size of the insulation plate. With the exact observance of the dimensions, the mineral wool plate is securely fixed in the frame and does not require additional fastening.

After the insulation is laid out on the whole plane, a film is applied over it and fixes the film, which performs the function of waterproofing.

And the final stage of work is finishing the house with siding or other material.

Carrying out work on the insulation of the frame house with mineral wool, it is necessary to pay special attention to the mating of the wall plane with the floor and ceiling, and it is absolutely not important whether the insulation is insulated from the inside or outside.

In the line of interface of surfaces, freezing occurs most often in winter.

At the junction of the floor and walls it is desirable to put additional protection against rodents. For these purposes, you can use a metal mesh.

Thermal insulation of a frame house is a laborious and responsible process that requires considerable financial costs. All operations should be carried out qualitatively and avoid negligence.
