Bath construction is a structure with special operating conditions. As a rule, in a bath it is possible to make a ceiling with your own hands using a certain technology, then the room will be maintained at the optimum temperature and the service life of the building will last. It must be equipped in compliance with the requirements for the arrangement of premises with a humid and hot environment.
Arrangement of the ceiling in the bath
Bath is most often settled in a wooden house , to make the ceiling with their own hands you need to arrange steam and heat insulation, as hot air rises and the ceiling should ensure the preservation of heat. A good vapor barrier layer is aluminum foil. And as a heat insulator, you can use minvat. To install the ceiling you will need:
- minivat;
- rails for the frame;
- knife;
- aluminum foil and scotch tape;
- lining;
- self-tapping screws;
- drill;
- building stapler;
- pneumatic gun;
- staples.
Let's get to work:
- For laying a layer of mineral wool, the frame is assembled from a wooden beam to the main walls of the house. The insulation boards are laid in one or two layers between the frame racks without any additional fasteners. Mineral cotton wool is cut with a knife if necessary by two centimeters wider than the distance between the slats. Due to this spacer, it will hold better. The thermal insulation layer prevents all types of thermal leakage.
- The next stage is the installation of a vapor barrier with foil and tape. It will reflect thermal energy. For this purpose, a roll is rolled out and the foil is attached to the wooden frame by a construction stapler. All joints of the sheets are glued with aluminum tape.
- Before the finish finish, the slats are fixed with screws on top of the foil all over the ceiling. They will create an air gap between the vapor barrier and the cladding.
- As an interior finish, a lining made of natural wood with gaps is used. It is fixed with a pneumatic pistol with long staples to the crate.
- The installation is finished. Similarly, you can make not only the ceiling, but also the walls in the steam room, then the sauna will quickly heat up to high temperatures, and retain the heat for a long time.
The ceiling in the bath is the most vulnerable and hot place. Therefore, you need to arrange it carefully and carefully. Then the steam room for many years will please the owners with its warmth and curative effect.
