Ceiling Insulation, when every degree counts

Pre turmoil - collect

materials Even if you are not a builder, you can carry out this work on its own, there is a will to live, not afraid of low temperatures outside. Insulation of the ceiling with his hands can be made to present themselves with the necessary materials and, of course, tools.You will need:

• special film for vapor barrier, which is available in two types: for indoor and outdoor use;
• insulating material;
• staple gun for attaching the film;
• wooden slats, which will help firmly press the tape to the edges of the ceiling.

order to produce insulation of the ceiling from the inside (a video with instructions posted on our website), you need to buy film for interior work, which trail overlap.The film serves to trap moisture from one side to form a condensate and on the opposite side.

must be very careful not to lay it on the contrary.Its function is to protect the insulation from moisture, which will be placed between two layers of film.

What are the main operations to be implemented?

ceiling insulation technology - a work that can not be called a very complex, but it has a number of nuances, which must be remembered.First of all, steam is conducted ceiling of the special film, which was mentioned above.Especially if your choice has fallen on the mineral wool.After the first layer is laid insulation film and closes the second layer.

for ceiling insulation from the attic all looks simple: film - insulation - film.And the heater can be any thing to take care of waterproofing, so that, for example, mineral wool tends to absorb moisture well.From this sin spared concrete block, you can go to sleep and, although he has another feature in addition to the film under it need some kind of a dense substrate, such as clay.

But insulation from the room to be a bit more complicated, because the paste on the bare ceiling insulation will not work, but here at least facilitates the simple selection of material situation, the room is better to use the pressed mineral wool or foam.Then everything is closed ceiling.

to foam can be mounted to the ceiling lathing kind to which it can be attached.Its design depends on the shape and size purchased sheets.If you can, make it better in several layers to cover the seams.Mineral wool will be placed in the ceiling frame, but it will reduce the operating time, does not require additional structures, as in the case of the foam.

In carrying out this work, you need to pay special attention to how tightly the insulation adjacent to the places where the ceiling is joined to the outer walls.Firmly attach the insulation to the ceiling will staple gun.And if you think that somewhere in this fixture does not provide the desired fit, use wooden reechkami and with the help of a hammer and nails provide tight contact insulation around the perimeter of the ceiling.

When you want to keep the interior trim

Methods ceiling insulation provided the technology of building a house, where all the necessary manipulations must be made in the process of construction.Resale or old building houses require solving the problem of the residents themselves.And they can do the work for the conservation of heat in the house and the other way - to make the ceiling insulation that will not spoil the implementation of the recent renovation.

In so doing, you must exclude the following errors:

• buying insulation material, wrong doing measurements - as a result it does not cover the whole area of ​​the ceiling;
• can not allow even the slightest presence of moisture on the insulation film;
• looseness of the film;
• no gaps for ventilation to prevent the formation of condensation.

for ceiling insulation should be used only outside the film for exterior use, means can be any - it is fiberglass, and foam glass, polystyrene, cellulose materials, as well as mineral wool.Preferably glass fibers, as all the others have high moisture absorption property, and will need to conduct additional waterproofing.

When choosing insulation, or rather, to the exclusion of certain embodiments of the review, it is necessary to pay attention not only on the performance of the material, mainly - the ability to absorb moisture, but also on the natural indicators of combustibility, toxicity, etc.
