The superstructure of the attic floor

superstructure of the attic in an old renovated house

In order to build a loft above the house should first verify the reliability of the design, which will go to almost the entire load is built structures.If it is not strong enough, it is necessary to set the column to the foundation.That they will be the supporting structure for the construction of the attic.

Note that the structure on which rests the entire load is built structures should not be damaged.If it is not so, it should replace the frame more reliable.In this case, the load on the attic wall itself will be held.

strapping belt is an integral part of these construction works.It distributes the load on the attic of the restored house, combining their walls together.

Make a belt mainly made of reinforced concrete, but there are also lightweight aggregate construction.

for construction of multi-storey attic private house it is recommended to use a metal frame, it is more reliable.It is necessary that the overlap between the house and the attic was whole.

supporting structure of the attic in a private house

attic and attic houses are very similar in their structure.With the construction of buildings is built must take into account all the weather conditions of the terrain in which the home is located.Overbuild floor must withstand wind pressure and snow layer.

To build attic is best to use the most durable materials.Such a metal, wood or galvanized profile.You can use any combination of the above materials, if desired.

Note that the tree is best used where there is no electricity, so as welding in such facilities is difficult.Before working with the tree it must antipiriruyut.This fire protection of wood, it is necessary to ensure that this material is not flammable in extreme situations.

variety of frames, columns and rafters are load-bearing structures.They are attached at the perimeter of the outer wall.

best to choose a lighter construction for the power supplies, since they can be assembled with bolts and rivets, without using welding.These are wood or galvanized profile.

Pie insulation in the attic floor superstructure

During the construction of the attic construction is necessary with a responsible approach to the choice of material, which insulated superstructure.

In the attic there is a thermal cushion, so the room is losing about 25% of the heat.

Insulation of roofing pie

For insulation roofing pie is best to use either polystyrene or basalt insulation.Please note that magnifies the add lukewarm risky, because it is highly flammable.

The pitched roofs are best used basalt slabs.They are placed tightly in several layers.If you put insulation tightly enough, then over time they can become deformed, leading to the formation of cavities.

Vapor roofing pie

for vapor barrier roofing pie is recommended to use a special film, through which couples do not penetrate into the room, and at the same time it releases them from a heater.

Ventilation roofing pie

Due to the change in temperature condensation in the superstructure.It can lead to the formation of mold and icicles that is bad for the facade of the building.To protect the floor is built from such formations, between the roofing and insulation make space for ventilation.
