Stages of insulation foam frame home

Many people and today continue to think that the foam - is a combustible material.

But modern technology has allowed the production of foam to ensure that this type of material does not support combustion at all.

So today, the foam - excellent for insulation of private homes.In his favor and in favor environmentally friendly and a very low price.

conducting insulation foam frame home can be significant savings without compromising the quality of thermal insulation works.

Such material is not only securely retain heat in the house, but will also allow the house to breathe.

Although the foam does not pass, but using a special system of joints and an air layer can achieve excellent ventilation of the house.

Besides foam creates excellent sound insulation and prevents water to penetrate into the house.

If you are going to spend quality insulation foam frame house, when buying such a heat-insulating material is necessary to look to the material was undamaged.

quality material allow for a safe and reliable insulation of a frame house.In this case you do not have to spend this much money.

best to use foam for thermal insulation of a frame house on the ventilated facade.

When carrying out insulation work in the house will have to use insulation film.

It reliably protects the lining of the condensate accumulation.Thus, the house is protected from bacteria and fungi.

Pros &cons

foam is not only cheaper.It keeps well any form and easy to process.

thanks to the quality of such insulation material widely used in individual and industrial construction.

Viewed insulating material can significantly reduce the cost of the construction process.It is used not only for insulating walls of frame houses.

The foam can also be used for thermal insulation and concrete floor slabs.

foam can be attributed to the pluses and its ability to keep the shape.Therefore, it is excellent for insulation of vertical surfaces in the house.

foam will not crawl, as mineral wool or backfilling.

When using this material during the insulation work is not necessary to conduct hydro and steam insulating works, because the foam is moisture and steam.

Most pros and cons of home insulation foam evaluated ambiguously.Some people think that the foam is too tight and does not allow the house to breathe.

Video:

at warming the house is set from 2 to 3 layers of foam, which overlap joints previous layers.Moreover, the joints between them is filled with foam.

It is satisfactory skeptics who believe that in this case, the house stops breathing completely.

But this insulation material is no worse than rockwool.

Insulating foam layers have the same thickness as in the mineral wool, which also assumes the use of waterproofing films.

House, insulated foam continues to breathe through the holes provided design.

therefore such material is not causing him harm, and does not violate the air exchange in the house design.

Wall insulation foam

versatile insulation material, allowing to carry out wall insulation foam frame house both outside and inside the house.

When assembling such a heat-insulating material to carry out inside the thickness of the sheets must not exceed 2.5 cm.

This will not reduce the total floor space at the expense of too thick a layer of insulation.

To properly calculate the amount of material needed should be the length and height of the walls multiply.

Mount Technology insulation layer of foam inside the house includes:

  • preparatory phase, which is removed from the walls of the old plaster and putty.The wall must be completely free of dust and dirt;
  • Then stripped wall treated with a primer, which contains special anti-fungal supplements that will reliably protect the house from mold and mildew;
  • Mounting foam plates begins only after the first coat dries.For reliable fastening foam slabs in vertical position is used the adhesive composition that is applied either to the primed surface or to the surface of the foam slab.Then the foam is pressed against the wall and held for several minutes.So all glued insulated surface.After drying, the adhesive foam is carried additional fixing using dowels with wide hats, which allow them to stay on the surface of the foam;
  • next step is reinforcing walls.In foam adhesive is applied with a spatula, and then it utaplivajut reinforcing mesh;
  • When it dries, you can align the wall with the help of plaster and provetsi re-priming the surface, and then finish the work finishing.

Insulation of the ceiling and floor

foam may be in the same way to insulate the ceiling.For high-quality thermal insulation of a private home, this process is just as important.

Insulation of the ceiling may also be carried out from inside the house, and from the attic.Experts recommend to carry out the installation of the outer foam.

Video:

Installing foam insulation at the ceiling includes:

  • Primary laying insulation material.Sliced ​​asphalt laid in the overlap between the ceiling beams.Strips should overlap by at least 5 cm glassine Thereafter fixed slats that are nailed to the ends of the beams.;
  • then customize the foam plate in size and filled into the space between the ceiling beams.All cracks and gaps are sealed with foam then;
  • Then laid asphalt waterproofing material, on top of which is placed a layer of mineral wool;
  • After that the final finishing, which includes the installation of floor covering.

floor insulation foam technology takes place in several stages.

first stage

first stage is carried out preparatory work on which the floor is cleaned of the old coating.dust collector.

Defects sexual overlap eliminated with putty and foam.

second stage

second stage laying the waterproofing layer.It is superimposed on the base of sexual overlap in size 10 cm.

Stacked areas must sizing tape to sexual deck turned tight.

third stage

third stage is laying insulation material on the basis of waterproofing.Foam can in this case be laid in several ways.

most commonly used method of laying the base when the foam sheets are stacked parallel to the walls.

also foam sheets can be placed diagonally.In this case, they must lie at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface of the walls.

can also lay foam insulation in Extension.In this case the different angles of the plates may be different from each other.For

stacking must take extensibility in the foam of 20 mm thickness and a density of 35 kg / m.

fourth stage

the fourth stage of thermal insulation work carried out waterproofing measures.The polyethylene film can be used as a material.

In that case as a floor covering to use ceramic tile, laminate or carpet, then waterproofing the floor is best suited PVC membrane.

on it then set chipboard, which are rough flooring.

fifth stage

In the fifth stage, the cement-sand screed.The thicker it is, the more time it will require drying.In general, it takes less than one month.

firmly established on the tie are installing facial floor.
