In order to warm the housing and save on utility bills, many prefer to do the warming of the flow in the house or apartment. It turned out that there is a lot of building material in our time, but only people who are constantly making money on repairs are able to use them correctly. An important nuance - there are several completely different ways how to reliably cope with the heat leakage from the home. Let's take a walk on this popular topic to give readers an opportunity to clarify the situation in this issue.
Warming of the ceiling from the inside of the room
It is believed that this is not the best option, and it is only in extreme measures. The fact is that you not only lose a little in the height of the room, but you can also face other undesirable factors - the possible entry of insulating material into the room, and the formation of mildew on the surface of walls and insulation. If there is no way out, then in any case it is necessary to leave a gap for ventilation between the insulating material and the ceiling.
A less popular but effective method is a heat-insulating plaster mix. They rarely use it, apparently frightening off users that it is necessary to use "wet" processes here. Most often, a crate is installed, and a ceiling gypsum board is attached to it, after which a heater is placed inside. In this case, it is convenient to make the ceiling insulated with foam foam. Also sometimes use several insulators - "foamplax + penofol" or other combinations.
Insulation of the ceiling from the attic side
This option should be used when you are dealing with a private house.
We list the available methods:
- Warming of the ceiling with foam plastic.
- Use of penopolix.
- Make the insulation of the ceiling with expanded polystyrene.
- Take as a heat-insulating material sawdust.
- Thermal insulation of the ceiling with expanded clay.
- For strong ceilings, you can use the oldest method - a mixture of clay and sawdust.
- Well keep the heat of the mat from the reeds.
- In the coastal areas, sometimes for this case use dried seaweed.
- Laying between the beams of mineral wool.
- Use of foam (polyurethane foam).
If you exclude the old ways of warming, then it is most convenient to work with mineral wool and a sheet warmer such as penokleks. Let us briefly describe both methods:
- Warming of the ceiling with mineral wool . Minvata tightly fits into the space between the beams with a layer thickness of up to 250 mm. If you use the attic as a utility room, then you need to install a wooden floor on top.
- Warming of the ceiling with foam . With this material it is also easy to work. It is most convenient to lay it on an even concrete covering, before laying a vapor barrier layer. Sheets are laid out and fixed to the ceiling with dowels with a "fungus".
The joints between them are filled with foam and at the end we make a strong screed, getting a good and even floor on the second floor.
In order to describe all methods correctly and in detail, a book or a huge article would be needed. Much depends on the choice of the method of warming from the financial possibilities of the owner of the home. For example, foam with a cold is doing fine, but similar works are produced only by specialized enterprises, you yourself can not cope with such a thing. An important nuance is what the ceiling consists of. If used in the construction of concrete slabs, heavy filling compounds or mats will do. When you deal with ceilings consisting of beams and logs, it is better to buy lightweight loose mixtures or roll material.
