Interior wall insulation in the bathroom with their hands

Often, the bathroom is the only room in the cold apartment.Causes uncomfortable climate can be very different.This may be a bathroom wall, facing the street or in a utility room, not working coil towel warmer, with ventilation channels, problems, etc.

not always have a real opportunity to make the outer insulation.For example, the wall is expansion joint, elevator shaft, staircase or other unheated premises where it is impossible to mount the insulation.Make internal insulation of walls with their hands in the bathroom is not difficult.

choice of material for the insulation inside the bathroom

Insulating material for the bathroom should have a low thermal conductivity, does not absorb moisture, be durable and strong.Mineral wool because of its characteristics to absorb moisture, is not suitable for warming bath.

1. easiest and cheaper to produce foam insulation of the interior walls, and with his own hands.Polystyrene is an inexpensive and practical material.Low price, ease of handling and low thermal conductivity is advantageous distinguish it from similar types of insulation material.The foam has an extremely low coefficient of water vapor permeability.He does not let couples, but does not absorb it and is suitable for any kind of warming of the walls.Choosing material for insulating walls inside the bathroom keep in mind that the price depends on the density and thickness of the insulation.
2. can produce insulation of internal walls and polystyrene.Extruded polystyrene foam has similar properties.The high density expanded polystyrene with a smaller thickness allows to maintain high insulating properties.It is of great importance at warming a small bathroom.In addition, he is stronger, and the methods of installation are no different from the insulation foam.

process of insulation foam interior walls with his own hands is on the video at the end.

Materials and tools for internal insulation bath

measured area of ​​each wall separately.On a sheet of paper, draw a diagram of a bathroom on a gross basis.Under the scheme calculated the required number of sheets of insulation.Styrofoam and polystyrene sheets are available in 1x1 and 1h0.5 m. In the figure, note the order of placement of insulation with a minimum of seams and waste.

1. In the case of planned interior drywall, you must take into account the tolerances of the crate from galvanized profile, which is mounted on the bathroom wall prior to installation of insulation.In this case, the cost to take a step of profile strips 1h0.5 meters and insulation to purchase the correct size and thickness.
2. For everything crates buy rack profile (PS) or (CW) and the guiding profile (PN) or (UW).Standard profile depth of 40 mm, a width of 50 mm is sufficient bathroom.

you need to be adhesive foam adhesive consumption in accordance with the area indicated on the packaging.Plastic plugs, plastic reinforcing mesh, primer and putty.

Tool:

• Turboshlifovalnaya machine and a drill with a mixer.
• hammer, chisel, measuring tape and mounting knife.
• spatula 50 and 200 mm and a notched adhesive.

Room Preparation for installation of insulation

Before starting work, all removable items in the bathroom must be removed.The bathroom had a shower, sink, cabinets, etc.For internal wiring pipes water supply and sewerage is best to build a box of water-resistant gypsum board or OSB.

1. walls are cleaned of paint, whitewash, or ceramic tile and aligned.Painting and whitewashing are removed with a spatula and brush with metal bristles, and then the walls are washed with soap and water.Tile strays chisel and hammer.Adhesive residues turboshlifovalnoy trimming machine.The pits and hollows smeared with glue for insulation or grout.The surface of the walls must be smooth and hygroscopic.
2. For mounting foam, followed by finishing drywall is mounted crate galvanized profile.To avoid cold bridges, empty profile openings should be filled with foam strips.Profile is attached to the wall plugs so that the image of the vertical cell 1h0.5 meters.

surfaces inside the cells are processed deeply penetrating primer and antiseptic preparations.

Installing foam insulation inside the bathroom

1. Take a bucket and fill up half of its dry adhesive mixture to foam.By adding a little water, stir the mixture with a spatula, and then drill with a mixer.Alternately adding water or dry adhesive Achieve consistency of heavy cream.The adhesive mixture should not slide with a spatula or a foam.
2. 16 is applied on a sheet of foam the size of 1h0.5 meters - 18 strokes glue.Strokes are evenly distributed along the plane of the sheet of foam and trim with a notched trowel.
3. foam sheet is set in the cell, firmly pressed to the wall, and inciting his hand over the entire plane.In the middle of a sheet of plastic anchors for fixing the foam installed in the upper and lower quarters.A foam drilled holes on diameter dowel.
4. dowel tip of the knife assembly is split on the factory tag and is inserted into the hole until it stops.Fixing plastic nail is inserted into the hole and the dowel is hammered with a hammer.Nothing bad will happen if in the process of mounting dowels hat dig into the foam for 3 - 4 mm.This place is simply smeared with glue for insulation.
5. After installing whole sheets cutting measures and the remaining blank space.Roulette are measured all four sides.Using a ruler or flat rack sizes are transferred to the foam sheet.Molds cut workpiece knife mounting and installed in its cell method described above.

final stage of warming the bathroom inside

When decorating the walls of insulated plasterboard sheets are screwed with screws to the sheathing, processed primer deep penetrating and shpaklyuyut.Plasterboard can be paste over ceramic tiles or paint with latex paint.

Warmed bathroom wall without mounting frame for gypsum board plastered and shpaklyuyut.During plaster reinforcing mesh used for strength, and after plastering the walls are treated with a mixture of dirt for waterproofing and antiseptic.
