As for the thickness of the insulation, it depends on the region of residence and the corresponding temperature conditions. In calculation it is necessary to take also characteristics of directly heat-insulating material, and also features of system of beam overlapping.
So, let's go directly to the question of how to make a ceiling in a private house. We advise you to adhere to the following work plan:
- First, make a frame of metal profiles and beams, it will in the future without difficulty to paint the ceiling with plasterboard.

What is the ceiling in a wooden house?
There are some subtleties in working with different types of insulation. But in any case, you first need to clean the attic of garbage, dust and dirt, remove from there anything that can hinder and block access to the beams and the ceiling. All the cracks in the attic should be sealed, so that the insulation can not get wet afterwards and the cold air does not penetrate here.
There are several options for the material for the insulation of the ceiling in a private house. Before that, we examined foam and mineral wool, but some prefer penoizol. Please note that in this case, you can not do without the help of specialists.
For insulation with penoizol it is necessary to have special equipment and skills of working with the material. In fact, it is a powder, which is simply blown between the beams by a special machine. Previously, the entire room should be maximally sealed, so that the powder did not penetrate into the residential part of the house.
Another type of insulation is expanded clay. However, it is worth using with great care because of its great weight. You have to be sure that the floors of the house will withstand the load. In addition, on the floor of the attic you need to lay out the reinforcing grid in advance, which will distribute the weight of the heater more evenly.
A few tips on how to make a ceiling in the house:
- carefully insulate the places where the thermal insulation comes into contact with the walls;
- for the wooden beams perform the vapor barrier layer;
- be sure to seal the heater;
- choose a material that can withstand fire for up to 30 to 90 minutes.
