Thermal insulation of the roof from the inside with your own hands

Without quality insulated roof is impossible to imagine a comfortable living in cold climates.So the insulation of the roof becomes a guarantee of the reliability of the entire house, its ability to protect residents from low temperatures and unpleasant drafts.And if you have an attic floor becomes a prerequisite for the possibility of operating rooms.

preparatory stage

If it is decided to carry out insulation roof with his hands, you must prepare the following tools and materials:

• Isover insulation Pros in rolls;
• staple gun;
• insulation film;
• roulette;
• knife.

material for insulation Isover is recommended to purchase it in rolls.The entire roll can be easily cut in accordance with step trusses.Further, it is easy to fit into the space between the rafters and due to its elasticity does not fall out.Therefore, this roll can be easily unwound and set in inclined planes, or vertical.If necessary, it can be cut into pieces of any size.

material rolls of different thickness may be 50, 100, 150 mm.Selecting a particular embodiment depends on the climatic conditions of the region.If the insulation of the roof of the house in your area requires a thicker insulation layer, than commercially available, may be a single layer on top of the second overlay.Additional fastening is not required.Isover layers will stay due to its elasticity.Another indicator to the choice of the material thickness is the height of the rafters.

main stages of roof insulation

technology roof insulation consists of several stages.First, conduct outside work.Before attaching the roofing material is applied vapor barrier membrane having windproof properties.This layer protects the structure against moisture.The membrane is attached overlapping, joints glued construction tape.

external insulation When finished, proceed to install the thermal insulation to the inner side of the frame.To do this, measure the distance between the rafters.

If it is equal to 60 cm, the roll can be just cut in half lengthwise.The photo or video clearly shows how to do it.Half roll takes one strip of the roof.In this way, spend a mansard roof insulation.

If step rafters custom, roll Profi Isover unwound and cut the correct size plate, leaving about 1 cm allowances. If it so happened that the distance between the rafters unequal, then do not be afraid.You just have to cut a fragment of a heat insulating material such size that it was not less than the widest distance between the rafters.In those areas where Izover width exceeds the distance between the rafters, it can be compressed.

So Isover mineral wool insulation of the roof will not cause difficulties.The resiliency of the material will allow it to stand firmly on any structure.At Isover has other advantages:

• good thermal insulation properties;
• dense filling of space;
• life (50 years or more).

next stage, which includes the insulation of the roof from the inside with your own hands, - installation of vapor barrier membrane.

It is fastened to the rafters using stapler.The overlap is required.

Joints individual fragments glued membrane construction adhesive tape or mounting tape.

On top, it is desirable to establish additional kontrobreshetku.She will need to create the necessary gap between paroizoilyatsionnoy membrane and the inner liner.

After these works perform facing slabs of drywall or paneling.
