Materials for thermal insulation of the ceiling in a private house

In order to create a comfortable temperature in the interior living space, it is necessary to begin to deal with what to insulate the ceiling in a private house, in the country are best and how to do it.

As you know, warm air flows tend to go up, and so, if you do not spend quality insulation of the ceiling, in the cold season will be difficult to maintain optimum temperature in the house.

Currently ceiling insulation offers a wide selection of different materials, each of which has both advantages and disadvantages.

should be noted that insulation can be made both inside the inner space and outside from the attic.

And in fact, and in another case, there are certain rules and insulation technology, which are determined by the material used for these purposes.

In a private house in the country ceiling may be wood or concrete, and it must always be taken into account.

addition, hold insulation in the attic is more difficult, as in this case, the roof actually plays the role of the ceiling.

In any case, to the inner space of the house with the onset of cold weather the temperature remained comfortable always, you must use only high-quality materials and technology to comply with the correct work on the ceiling insulation.

Features warming

Our ancestors thought about how best to insulate the ceiling in his private house.

Of course, in those days the choice of materials was quite limited and, as a rule, to insulate the ceiling used what was at hand.

In most cases, a layer of insulation laid on the outside of the ceiling from the attic space.

As a heater used hay, onion scales, as well as the husk of the seeds, which were scattered across the loft area.

For better insulation carefully plastered ceiling outside the ordinary clay.

main problem of natural insulation were rodents, which are quickly damaged material.

little later began to use more practical bulk materials, such as slag and testing of different from all sorts of industries.

Modern materials allow to insulate the ceiling more effectively, and they are not afraid of any rodents or aggressive influence of various external media.

To date, there are two methods that allow you to insulate the ceiling, resulting in an internal space of the house, optimum temperature is always maintained at the cottage.

As practice shows, it is necessary to insulate the ceiling, both outside and inside at the same time.

course, for each mode uses only their materials which are characterized by such properties as water vapor permeability.

So, for thermal insulation of the ceiling inside is better to use a vapor-permeable material, and a vapor outside.

In addition, there is a definite ceiling insulation technology in the home and in the country, according to which all work should be carried out.

For more information about how to perform a qualitative and effective insulation of the ceiling, told in the video, which is available below.

Types of heaters

In order to determine the choice of insulation, it is necessary to begin to deal with the basic requirements, which are presented to him at the moment.

One of the main conditions to which you should pay attention to are the safety of the material and its environmental properties.

addition, it should be resistant to combustion, and have a relatively low weight.Also, the material should not be afraid of moisture and dampness.

Currently, you can insulate the ceiling with mineral wool, which is easy to fit and well at trapping heat in the interior space.

In addition, use of mineral wool is also safe, as it is not toxic and, therefore, does not cause harm to health.

still used for thermal insulation of the ceiling expanded clay.He laid on the part of the attic on a pre-prepared base.

Work with expanded clay is easy, as the essence of packing is a uniform distribution of material over the entire surface of the ceiling.

in recent years have increasingly performed the ceiling insulation foam, but when working with this material you must be sure to sew him a solid foundation.

In any case, what material to use, determine the owner of the house, according to their capabilities and preferences.

Some types of insulation for the ceiling of a private house shown in the photo below.

Before starting work on the insulation of the ceiling in the house, it is necessary first of all to prepare the material itself, as well as thea tool that may be needed.

should also familiarize themselves with stacking technology selected insulation and read the advice of professional artists.

All work on the ceiling insulation is best done in the warm season.For more information, both independently insulate ceilings in the house, described in the video below.

Outside insulation

most optimal way to perform a warping of the upper insulation in the house - is laid insulation from the attic space.

In this case, there is no need to carry out complex and costly work, in addition, the outer insulation installation will not take much time.

insulated from the attic can be a variety of materials, including mineral wool and expanded clay.

In any case, the beginning of work necessary to prepare the surface properly.To this end, it should be thoroughly cleaned from various debris and mud, and dry well.

following is repaired all the cracks and joints between boards with a suitable material.For these purposes may be used ordinary clay.After that is necessary to lay a vapor barrier layer.

Subsequent work carried out depending on the chosen as insulation material.

So, if you plan to insulation base expanded clay, it will be necessary to arrange appropriate logs.

further layer of not less than thirty centimeters should be expanded clay fill the entire surface of the ceiling.

If the attic space to be used as some kind of space, the floor surface must be paved with planks, or other floor coverings.

This expanded clay and laid between the floor base must remain small distance required for ventilation.

even easier to work with mineral wool, which usually comes in the form of rolls.When working with mineral wool is also necessary to properly prepare the base and remove all debris from it.

is followed to perform a vapor barrier layer, on top of which lay the material itself.Surface laid over the mineral wool can also be laid out in any floor covering.

If the base is made of concrete, the insulation can be used as a foam.It fits uniformly over the entire surface of the base, as can be seen in the image below.

Internal insulation

insulate the upper base of the house should be inside a roll or tile materials, such as foam.To do this, carefully prepare all the base from inside the house.

It cleaned of dirt and treated basecoat.Then it is going out of the frame profiles, among which should be firmly laid the selected heater.

Attach can be glue or by means of special elements, depending on the type of material.

Also, do not forget about the vapor barrier layer, which is applied in the space between itself and the heater directly upper base.

After that you should sew a heater, for example, plasterboard, which is applied on top of the plaster.For more information about how to perform a self-warming, described in the video posted below.

By the choice of insulation should be approached responsibly, because of this depends largely on maintaining the optimum temperature in the interior of the house in the winter season.

should also observe and laying insulation technology, which may differ depending on the selected material.

Currently offers a wide range of heaters, and so the problems with his choice should arise.
