Considering how to insulate the attic ceiling, it is not superfluous to understand the technology used for this, focused on the use of thermal insulation material for pitched or flat roofing.
Today, for this purpose, it is more reasonable to apply, of course, materials of a modern design that have the proper quality.
For example, among these, mineral wool boards used for thermal insulation can be distinguished.
Finished plates in this case, neatly stacked directly between the beams of rafters, and they can also be laid along the top of the attic floor.
In order to avoid the formation of "bridges" of cold in the room, and also to prevent the rupture of thermal insulation systems, mineral wool should be laid continuously, and so that lumens and cracks do not form.
One plate, at the same time, must cover the outer layer of the heater.

When deciding how to insulate an attic ceiling, you can apply the technology of additional backfilling for overlapping.
For this, the next, second layer is laid on the layer of already existing bulk insulation material.
It can be made on the basis of any improvised materials, including waste in the form of sawdust, wood shavings, straw, etc.
As a rule, the thicker the layer, the greater the likelihood that the room will be warm even in the harshest cold. Advantageously, the layer thickness is in the range of 5-10 centimeters.
As for the chimneys, it is necessary to make a dump around them using non-combustible raw materials.
In the event that you intend to walk around frequently in the attic, you will have to prepare for the inconvenience that will be associated with this.
The fact is that this will cause unevenness in compaction of the attic floor, as well as its displacement - in the end, walking around the attic, as it becomes clear, will be extremely inconvenient.
For the attic functional and habitable is better, if strong and thick boards are laid on top of the backfill. In addition, it is also possible to use slabs that can freely support the weight of a person.

It should be noted that quality insulation will not only give the house warmth, but also contribute to a significant increase in life.
An important point is preventing the entry of steam into the attic, otherwise moisture that regularly settles on the roof will inevitably lead to its destruction, and the replacement of the roof, as can be assumed, will cost a considerable amount to the careless owner of the dwelling.
