During the preparatory processes, not only the project of the future building is created for the construction of houses, but also a system of communications, rules and methods for improving the strength and sustainability of the construction is thought out. It also takes into account a very important point, how to organize protection of walls, floors, slopes and roofs from heat loss.
Problems requiring roof insulation. Types of insulation
The one who is familiar with the elementary laws of physics should understand that the warm air, which is formed in the room, rises up. If the system is not thought out of heat loss through the roof and premises in attics, we risk obtaining the following problems:
- Cold room
- Great heat loss carries, increase resource consumption, and material losses
- The accumulation of moisture provokes the growth of fungus and mold on wooden structures and crossbars
- As a result, there is a process of destruction of the roof structure, a decrease in operating deadlines. In such cases, the house comes into disrepair
When the construction of a multi-storey building occurs, insulation standards are dictated by state and expert commissions. But if the project is carried out in private, the owner must take care of the means of protection against excess heat loss through roofing.
The main insulation of the roofs are considered:
- Ceramzit (cheap material that is convenient to apply for insulation outside)
- Mineral wool
- Mounting foam, polyurethane foam
- Styrofoam
- Ekwata.
All listed materials have different characteristics, are used for insulation in certain places. For example, polystyrene foam is conveniently laying for a house with a flat roof (multi-storey), and eco-house - used to cover a large area, requires a lot of space.
How to warm the roof?
Before the warming of the roof, it is necessary to properly and high-quality layers of hydro, heat, vaporizolation, ensure the ventilation of the structure. Then start the process of installing insulating materials. It can fit in several ways:
- First - laying of insulating materials between wooden partitions
- The second - the insulation falls on top of the rafted
- Third - insulation occurs from the bottom from the log beams
Depending on the type of roof, flat or inversion, the method and insulation material is determined:
- Material for thermal insulation should be environmentally friendly, not heavy, durable, have sound insulation and heat resistance, resistance to high temperatures, do not interfere with the ventilation of the room.
- Mineral wool is superimposed on top of wooden beams of economic premises, attic, shed.
- Rolled coating in the form of mineral wool is simply cut into strips of the desired dimensions, and lie between the wooden rafters, if there are pipes or chimneys in the wrench simply cut the hole of the desired size.
- The foam is widely used for the insulation of the walls and the roofs, is able to cause pulmonary diseases, when exposed to a temperature above 80 degrees, there is harmful chemical impurities, but at the same time the only convenient material for the insulation of the roof with joints provides high-quality thermal insulation. Sheets of polystyrene foams are cut and stacked next to each other, mounting foam is used as glue.
- Dry fading Ceramzite is used for flat roofs. The layer of vapor barrier is stacked on the rafter, then an additional construction is built, which will be filled with clay gravel. It is necessary to take care of what he would be protected from moisture. The rubberoid sheets are stacked on top. So flooded and the roofs of apartment buildings are insulated.
As you can see, today there are more than enough methods for insulation. The choice primarily depends on your capabilities and preferences. Let your home be reliable and warm!
