How to insulate the garage from the inside

The garage protects the car from precipitation. But the temperature differences and the large frosts can play the evil joke - the iron begins to rust, and the fungus is pierced into the salon. Therefore, in order to protect the machine from the harmful effects of the external environmental factors, it is worth thinking about high-quality thermal insulation of the construction. How to insulate the garage from the inside, you will learn from our instructions.

Comfortable temperature for a person - 20 degrees above zero. However, the car from so high temperature will only suffer. After leaving the warm garage on the case, condensate falls out, and the wet environment is not useful when operating a car. Any car, regardless of its assembly - domestic or foreign, will be unusable due to the spread of rust. When warming up the garage, consider that the temperature inside should have a plus value, differing from the street as little as possible. The optimal indicator is + 5 ° C.

To eliminate the leakage of warm air from the garage, it is recommended to warm up all the space, starting first of all from the gate:

The garage gate is the main distributor of the cold, given the fact that the most often car owners make a choice in favor of welded gates that are not capable of providing thermal insulation.
First, put the polyethylene film with strips that have a thickness of at least 0.8 mm. The bandwidth should be 20-30 cm, and make a length less than the height of the opening, 1-1.5 cm. In the case of excessively narrow stripes, remember that they will be clinging for the protruding elements of the machine, and if they are wide, then Will be inconvenient.
Attach the stripes to a wooden rail using a building stapler. At the same time, withstand the nest of 1.5-2 cm.
If necessary, instead of polyethylene, you can take dense matter or ordinary oilcloth. But in the extreme north is better than polyethylene, as it is withstanding the most severe frosts.
After creating a waterproofing, make a wooden frame for future skin, trusting all its elements using preheated olifes to prevent the fungus reproduction. You should also make guides.
For insulation of the cloth, the garage gates use foam due to its strength, moisture resistance and ease when working. Crepe it so that no gaps do not arise. In places where the material will come into contact with the metal, treat the web with an antiseptic.
After installing foam plastic, the joints of the mounting foam and close them with a more dense material. Osp or fine boards will be perfectly suitable, which should be attached to pre-installed guides. Use ordinary nails for this.
At the final stage, paint the gate of the water-level paint.
Not bad if you make a small door in them and you will use it to reduce heat loss, or build a veil from dense tissue by attaching it indoors.

If the walls are made of metal, insulate them like a gate. When building a garage from stone material, use our instructions:

The insulation for the walls is perfect foam plastic. The exceptions are places near heating stoves (if any), where high temperature. It is better to lay glass stoves.
Before insulation, make a crate using the middle boards for this - for example, 20x20 mm. Installing around the perimeter of the walls, holding a step in 80-100 cm.
It is desirable for greater stuff strength to install guides. Attach the foam between them, not leaving the gaps. If necessary, you can cut the thermal insulation material with a conventional knife.
At the next step, you need to protect the insulation with a sheet material. You can use plastic, GVL, GKL. For sealing sheets of sheets, the reinforced tape will need. After mounting, shook the surface.

Work on the insulation of the roof is carried out after the thermal insulation of the gate and the walls of the garage from the inside:

The procedure is similar to the insulation of the walls: we glue the foam, closeing all the formed slots by mounting foam. Nail the sheet material as protection. But it is impossible to use such heavy materials such as GLCs so that the finish does not collapse. It is better to give preference to plywood.
Fastening sheets depends on the material from which the overlap is made. If it is wooden, then nails will be needed for fixing the foam, or you can take a dowel "umbrella", sheet material is fixed with long screws. In the case of concrete floors, it is necessary to equip the frame, attaching it with metal corners, screws and screws, the foam fit into the frame, fixing the scotch and pressing the trim.
For foam plastic, a layer of hydro and vaporizolation is not required, since it does not miss moisture, but when laying a fibrous insulation, additional protective measures are needed. Place the Film of the Izospan, consolidating the construction stapler.

Heated the garage, do not forget to worry about ventilation, as it is necessary that the pairs and harmful gases can be removed from the room, and condensate did not form. As a rule, the natural supply-exhaust ventilation is chosen: the exhaust valves are placed at a height of no more than 10 cm from the ceiling, the supply holes are 10 cm from the floor, they make them in different corners of the garage so that they are as remote as possible from each other. To ensure the best efficiency of removing "spent" air in an exhaust valve, you can put an electric fan.

In addition, it is recommended to provide for the heating of the garage. If it is located near the house, you can connect to the overall heating system, given that the load on it will increase by 25-30%. When conducting gas heating from trunk networks, contact qualified specialists should be applied independently. And electricity remains the most popular version of the garage heating. For this, such devices are suitable such as thermal electric guns, outdoor and wall convectors, oil radiators and infrared heaters.

If there is a desire, you can carry out additional surface treatment. The plaster perfectly combines lime, chalk and water-emulsion formulations. CSP and GLK cover acrylic or oil paint.
