Thermal insulation of a frame house basalt wool - a turn-based technology

As one of the most common modern insulating materials today, which is made of basalt raw material by means of high-temperature melting, treated basalt wool.The manufacturing process of the construction material industry has a high environmental friendliness and thus has no waste.

Basalt wool: a brief description of the benefits and

This kind of wool is produced in the form of plates and the web material of the following categories:

• soft,
• semi,
• hard options.

This material has such a huge advantage as the ability to withstand high temperatures, so that it is characterized by high fire resistance.

The main advantages of the thermal insulation material are:

• low thermal conductivity,
• high vapor permeability,
• long life,
• high hydrophobicity,
• decent sound quality,
• volume stability of the structure and form,
• light weight,so that installation work is not time consuming.

Warming frame house basalt wool

fibrous structure, which consists of the material begins to lose its shape at temperatures above 1000 degrees Celsius, which leads to the use of wool for insulation of frame houses.

most commonly used basalt wool insulation layer for mounting both outside and inside the house.However, it is worth noting that the use of the material for thermal insulation inside the building is considered to be less advantageous from the constructive point of view.This is because the insulation layer disposed inside the building, promotes the formation of condensation on the internal parts of the walls, which leads to a decrease in the service life of the building framework.

When installing insulation layer requires special attention to be paid to the arrangement of hydro- and vapor barrier layers on the walls.To avoid reducing the service life of the house is required to prevent the penetration of vapor and moisture to the building skeleton.By installation of the thermal insulation layer is required to ensure reliable protection of the insulation from the effects of adverse external factors.A layer of insulation needed to protect against the formation of condensation in it, as well as high humidity, which can be caused by the penetration of moisture from the outside through the outer layer of skin the frame structure.In addition, it is required in the process of taking measures to prevent the capillary suction of ground water.

To insulation of the building, carried out with the use of basalt slabs, could last for a long time and was the most effective in carrying out installation work is required to comply with certain rules and guidelines.

insulation using basalt wool: advice prior to installation

To carry out installation work on warming houses basalt wool special knowledge and skills are not required.mount technology is quite simple, so every owner who has the slightest skills in construction work, cope with it on their own.

basalt wool for insulation home is best used in the form of plates.Plates rectangular or wedge-shaped dock perfectly with each other, that does not create problems during the installation.

Before the start of the insulation is recommended to prepare such materials and tools such as:

1. insulation - basalt wool in the form of plates.
2. Glassine.
3. Reiki is made of wood.
4. Polyurethane foam.
5. Construction nails, a knife.
6. Hammer.
7. Abrasive grater.

Before starting the installation work is required to remove all the cracks and crevices, which uses a special foam.However, it can be replaced with felt and hemp, the use of which is a cheaper option.

process of waterproofing and its characteristics

Then laid vapor barrier, which makes it possible to protect the layer of insulation from the adverse effects to moisture, which can condense on the inner surfaceroof.In order to preserve the durability and other quality characteristics of the material, use appropriate ventilation.During the insulation of the roof from the inside, to prevent the occurrence of moisture to the heat-insulating material is required between the wool and roofing material to build a layer vapor barrier material, which is a special film.She, in turn, creates a gap between the roof and insulation to prevent condensation.Vapour material used for the lining must possess characteristics such as:

• ensure an appropriate level of ventilation space and the air passage,
• detention steam.

as a vapor barrier layer of foil can be used, either conventional polyethylene film used asphalt, which fixing is carried out by using a staple gun.In addition to the stapler can be used for attaching the double-sided tape, which allows you to create an additional tightness when laying vapor barrier.

laying vapor barrier

During the insulation of the roof frame house waterproofing is laid directly under the roof.This is required to prevent the penetration of moisture winter steam condensate that is formed directly on the roof surface to the insulation layer.The waterproofing material is a kind of barrier that prevents the penetration of moisture is not only a heater but also wood-based construction.As usual, you can use plastic wrap as a waterproofing material.Film Strips are mounted on the surface of the lap.First, a lower fastening strips and the upper bands are stacked so as to overlap the bottom was carried out.Overlapping strips should be carried out in such a way that they do not happen by wicking moisture.

Fixing insulation material made using staple gun to the rafters, if the material thickness of 50 millimeters.Under the basalt wool slabs mounted crate made of thin wooden slats.If the insulation material is carried out having a thickness of 100 millimeters, it can be placed in a spacer between the rafters.When laying the material, use a special glue, screws and putty.

Warming of the roof frame house: step by step instructions

process of insulating walls of a frame house with the help of plates from basalt wool begins with:

1. installation of special cornice, which is made of metal.Fixing the cornice is carried out to the wall in the basement area with dowels.The main function is to facilitate the eaves laying insulation material and simultaneous protection from the negative effects produced by small rodents (mice and rats).

2. Fixing thermal insulation boards using a polymer-glue, which provides high-quality mounting plates to the wall base.The adhesive composition distributed on the surface of the plate evenly and then pressed tightly recommended plate to the wall structure.Installation of insulation made from bottom to top and from right to left.Initially starting to mount the entire plate, and after large areas are already covered with thermal insulation are being installed in small areas that require cutting plate pieces.

3. Implemented by leveling the surface with a cleaning trowel, it is recommended to do for the subsequent installation of a ventilated facade.

Thus, we found that warming of a frame house with the help of basalt wool - it's not a difficult technique which is able to cope even novice builders, and at the end let podsmotrena video about home insulation.
