Warming Penoplex foundation

Good day, dear subscribers portal Stroy-shkola.ru.In today's lesson, we will touch on the theme of the foundation insulation and material that will help us with warming is penoplex.

One of the most popular ways of thermal insulation - insulation of the foundation Penoplex.Penoplex - expanded polymeric material having a closed cell structure, so that the water absorption of the material is very low and amounts to only 0.5% of its volume during the entire service life.Closed cell Penoplex material filled with air, which is known, is a good insulator.Penoplex does not absorb water, allowing it to retain insulating properties in all conditions, in addition, it is not subject to destruction during the freezing of the internal moisture.

Penoplex produced in the form of plates of different thickness, having a mounting groove, and due to this insulation of the foundation slab using Penoplex performed quickly, while avoiding the formation of gaps, joints and thermal bridges.

Types of insulation foundation Penoplex

1. vertical wall insulation and foundation plinth.Running is usually on the outside of the building, since in this case in the insulation and protection zone covers not only the space inside the house, but also the foundation wall, which extends the life of the house.Plate mounted on the prepared surface with an adhesive or cement-based polymer, in the basement of their further strengthen using special plugs.
2. horizontal insulation of the foundation slab or base melkozaglublennogo strip foundation.This method is an excellent basement protection, as well as from the effects of tangential forces of frost heaving.Plates are placed at the base of the foundation.
3. Warming of the soil around the house by creating a blind area, the warmed plates Penoplex.This method is indispensable for the protection of buildings from the deformation forces of frost heaving, especially on silnopuchinistyh soils.Plates Penoplex laid on specially prepared pad and carry them over the concrete blind area.

This method can be used as a foundation under construction, as well as for existing buildings.In the case of thermal insulation of the foundation of the existing building must first dig it to the depth.

1. Foundation cleaned of soil residues, dust and other contaminants.If the surface is uneven - align it with the cement slurry.Execute surface waterproofing foundation using plastic or mastic asphalt, water-based.Use mastic-based solvents can not - Penoplex from contact with it destroyed.
2. breed glue for polystyrene foam according to the instructions on the packaging.Mix thoroughly and allow it to mature.On the basement level mark on the bottom line of stacking plates.If the base of the foundation is uneven - a heater can be recessed below the base level, it will not hurt.
3. Apply glue to the plate Penoplex dot in several places.Completely flatten the adhesive can only absolutely flat plane to be warming.Penoplex presses the plate to the foundation for a few seconds, and then align if necessary.The next plate is secured, combining the mounting groove.If you want to consolidate several layers Penoplex, they are staggered, so that the second layer overlaps the first seam.This contributes to better thermal insulation.The second layer is attached to the adhesive, the technology also differs.

4. The underground part of the foundation Penoplex additional fastening to the foundation is not required - when filling it will be pressed firmly against the ground.In the basement of the Penoplex after the glue has dried, secure with special dowels, nails.Plugs for insulation fixing have a wide perforated plastic bonnet that allows tightly hold the insulation in the wall, towering over its surface.The plates are drilled through holes, going into the concrete of 3-4 cm, and then hammer the dowel-nails.The length of the drill must be chosen depending on the thickness of the insulation boards.

5. If necessary, decorating the cap directly on the heater plate can be applied to the plaster or tile adhesive, reinforced their net.
