The comfortable temperature in the room largely depends on whether the roof is insulated. According to the laws of physics, warm air rises up and can quickly leave the room. That this does not happen, you need to know how to warm the ceiling zone correctly. Additional insulation can also serve as excellent sound insulation, as well as a barrier to get hot air in the summer.
Varieties of materials for ceiling insulation
There is a considerable amount of materials that can keep warm air within the room and do not let the cold air masses there. To properly choose the desired look, first it is necessary to analyze the criteria for selecting the material. This can be attributed to:
- Heat conductivity - you need to choose the insulation with the lowest such indicator.
- Moisture resistance - this criterion is especially important when the zone from the attic will be insulated.
- The ability to inflammation should be minimal or equal to zero.
- Life time.
- Ecology.
A wide variety of insulation will expand the capabilities of the master. All their six types:
- Mineral wool.
- Ceramzit.
- Sawdust.
- Equata based on cellulose.
- Styrofoam.
- Penosole.
Some masters in the old manner use straw. But this material requires special stacking skills, has a low security indicator (quickly flammable in case of fire) and is short-lived.
It is important that the coating is not too heavy. Otherwise, it will sweep the ceiling overlap and the design may not withstand.
Task number 1 - find out the thickness of the insulation
Before you begin the ceiling warming procedure, you must calculate the thickness of the material. It is important to find the best option: the thickness must be minimal to stand the ceiling, but also such to keep heat.
To calculate, it is necessary to analyze all the factors that affect the temperature regime in the room, take into account the parameters of the insulation and climate.
Also on the Internet there are special online - calculators that calculate the result quickly and accurately. To do this, make all the indicators and wait for the processing by the system.
How to insulate the ceiling from the side of the room
When you need to warm the ceiling zone from the dwelling side, this procedure is carried out in two ways:
- Plates are glued to the ceiling and fix them with special clamps.
- At first, the grille is made of wood or metal profile, and after the insulation is placed in the sections between them.
It is important to pay attention to preparatory work. The ceiling needs to be examined for the presence of chips, cracks, dampness, etc. Eliminate all the flaws, just then start work.
Installation of sheets with glue
Choosing this option, you need to purchase a foam, expanded polystyrene foam or basalt wool as a material. You also need to buy glue on a cement basis, "liquid" nails or mounting foam.
The insulation algorithm is as follows:
- Read the rules and make glue according to the instructions. Especially needed to follow how quickly dries composition. If this indicator is high, you do not need to knead a lot of adhesive masses at once. Apply the glue on the surface evenly.
- If foam is used, it is placed along the edges and in the middle of the sheet a special gun.
- The stove is applied to the ceiling and attaches a bit.
- By gluing a pair of meters of plates, you need to drill holes and install fasteners.
- Clauses should be filled with foam.
Installation of insulation between lattice
This method is chosen if the ceiling zone will be subjected to the trim, for example, plasterboard.
The rules for performing the task are:
- The ceiling markup is carried out. Then the profile will be mounted on it.
- Profile or timber installation is made.
- The insulation laying occurs.
- From above, a vapor barrier film is attached.
- Mounting of plasterboard or lining. Plasterboard is attached using self-tapping screws.
- The seams between the sheets and the hats of the screws must be separated by putty. After the surface is driving, it is necessary to put a putty on the entire ceiling and proceed to the decor.
User work
The result will also depend on whether the ceiling will be insulated from the outside. For this purpose, the same materials are used, but their laying algorithm is different.
The material should be tightly to lie down between beams - this is one of the main conditions for quality work. If colors are used, they must be evenly distributed over the surface.
The surface must also be prepared: there should be no cracks and other serious flaws.
Acquaintance with the methods of insulation of the ceiling zone will allow you to cope with the task yourself, to acquire useful experience and significantly save on the payment by the master. The efforts will not be in vain and the room will be immediately warmer and more cozy.
