Floor insulation technology expanded clay in a wooden house , bath

Warming of the floor expanded clay - great for the supporters of the use of housing and civil construction of environmentally friendly materials.

Keramzit refers to natural products, because in its manufacture is only used clay and rocks, including shale.

Under the influence of high temperatures and rotary kiln efforts of said composition forming various factions of expanded clay granules.

Later this harmless for health building material used to increase the thermal insulation of the floor and walls of any buildings, floors of buildings, thermal insulation of the attic in a private house, and everything in the basement garage.

also hard to find a replacement for expanded clay for the insulation of walls and floors in the bath, which does not have in its composition of toxic substances and would not have distinguished them in the air.

Today, there are expanded clay fractions are three types of bulk materials of construction:

• Expanded clay, sand - produced the smallest fractions, endowed with a high rate of bulk density;
• Expanded clay-rubble - the result of grinding, pre-foamed and hardened clay;
• Expanded clay-gravel - is oval and round beads.In the production process of each granule pore structure is enveloped in a layer of sintered clay material, thereby insulating characteristics rise gravel.

Considering all the above, it is difficult to choose which approach is best for concrete block insulation floor.

Experts recommend mixing all three materials in the same proportions that will allow Loose materials quality to fill a work surface and not leave empty-way places.

Insulation floor wooden house

comfortable climatewooden house is the result of absorption of moisture walls, additionally contributes its bit and efficiently insulated floor.

In this case, the insulation of the floor in a private house require the use of the following materials:

1. expanded clay (fine and coarse granules);
2. ordinary sand;
3. liquid waterproofing;
4. wooden slats;
5. steam and waterproofing material.

also need to run a standard builder's kit, which includes:

• level;
• electric drill;
• roulette;
• hammer;
• plane.

technology of expanded clay floor insulation in a wooden house can be carried out according to the scheme below:

1. upper floor boards are removed to the supporting structures, called joists;
2. On the base floor is poured layer of sand, leveled and well tamped;
3. Using a builder's level, check the horizontal layers of sand pillows;
4. Its surface is covered with parchment or a special waterproofing liquid mastic;
5. The following markup for laying the foundations of expanded clay;
6. With roulette the working area is divided into the same zone, which later separated wooden racks to a height of 100 mm;
7. Each recess is filled 10-cm layer of expanded clay mixed large and small granules;
8. top of expanded clay equip hydro and vapor barrier.

Thermal insulation sub-floor in a wooden house with the use of expanded clay, complete mounting boards on the joists, which were removed at the beginning of the work.

If the main floor in a wooden house is located on the ground, its insulation technology will be different.

After removing the tree main floor, on the ground poured gravel.

gravel layer becomes a kind of obstacle coming from the land of cold and moist air.

on gravel is poured and leveled sand, the surface is thoroughly compacted.On top of the gravel bed pour concrete block, shall be verified horizontal level made layer.

keramzite plane fixed steel mesh on top of it is filled with concrete.After the complete maturation of the concrete base, assembled flooring.

add material will allow the thematic video about floor insulation in a private home.

insulation of expanded clay floor in the bath

If the floor in the bath for some reason failed to warm the construction phase, it is possible to hold the insulation in an already operational use.

usually concrete floor poured in the washing room and steam room, as it is in these spaces is constantly moist air.

Wooden floors - the inheritance of the changing room, locker rooms and lounges.Therefore, for every room in the bath floor insulation technology using expanded clay will have its own.

Warming concrete base floor in the bath, takes place as follows:

1. concrete screed sub-floor is cleaned of dust, if necessary, align the surface, remove bulges and cracks zashpaklevyvayut;
2. working on the base is applied several layers of rubbery mastic asphalt.It is used for fixing to concrete waterproofing material.As a waterproofing can be used durable plastic sheeting or roofing felt;
3. on waterproofing is placed concrete block, the thickness of the insulation layer should be at least 10 cm;
4. top of expanded clay equip additional waterproofing material;
5. completes the process of warming the floor in the bath of the concrete screed, its thickness is about 3 cm.

More information about the warming of the floor in the bath expanded clay, will enable the following video.

insulated expanded clay floor in the garage

The hardest part of the process of warming the floor in the garage, this excavation, after which the floor insulation will be made on the ground and can have a thickness of about 45 centimeters.

Insulationworks carried out in the following order:

• laid on the ground waterproofing material, as is commonly used roofing material.It is better to lay overlapping and bloat along the walls of the garage;
• Check horizontality of expanded clay backfill will allow the use of a metal profile as a beacon that should be set and fixed with a solution;
• waterproofing on top poured concrete block layer of 25-35 cm, leveled backfill construction rule on beacons;
• Beacon signs removed by the movement of expanded clay by using a sheet of plywood.Groove after the profile is also aligned;
• In the next step of warming the floor in the garage, on top of expanded clay cushion equips grid of reinforcement, the support which is made of thick wire.The process of reinforcement, as well as pouring concrete, performed often using guiding beacons.

Warming of the floor on the balcony and loggia keramzit

Insulation of expanded clay on the floor and the balcony loggia is a good way out of a situation where there is a need to make the microclimate in the premises of the glazed better.

guide future warmed plane on the balcony loggia will correct exposure the lighthouses on the horizontal level.

Before laying the insulating material, the floor surface is covered with vapor impermeable membrane, with its edge produced on the walls.Subsequently, the film is cut surpluses.

as beacons use a metal profile that is fixed across or along the floor on the balcony, or loggia, with a pitch of not more than the length of the building regulations.

Installation Beacon guides allows to divide the surface into segments which are then poured insulation.

level of expanded clay backfill surface shall not exceed the plane on which the lighthouses.

Excess concrete block is removed with the help of the rules by conducting a tool for parallel arrangement to each other, the flashing profiles.

If the floor in the balcony or loggia has a wooden base, it mounted a wooden crate.Ready frame has a unique cell, which is filled with expanded clay to the top of the boards.

The next step is to prepare a liquid mixture of cement or cement milk, which carefully sprinkle a heat insulating surface.

laitance promotes the formation of a water-resistant film on the expanded clay cushion and ensures its durability.

Upon completion of floor insulation on the balcony, or loggia, equip the main surface of the floor, it may be a 50 mm concrete screed or wooden boards.

Yet there are differences between the use of thermal insulation of expanded clay on the balcony and loggia.

different temperature regimes of these two facilities require the use of different thicknesses of insulation.Thus, for the balcony and a layer to be thicker than a couple of centimeters.

for thermal insulation is recommended to use two different-sized expanded clay granules, while the smaller grain is poured on top.

This approach would eliminate the shrinkage of the material and subsequent cracking of the floor surface.

In addition, the use of two different size filler contributes to the strength and density of the floor insulated expanded clay.
