How to insulate the ceiling in the bath

The overlap in the bath, which is thermally insulated enough, leads to a large heat loss, since the heated air rushes upwards. The formation of condensate on the wooden elements of the ceiling contributes to the resettlement of colonies of microorganisms, and in the pre-banner will always be cold and raw. All this provokes the destruction of wooden elements, the replacement of which is a rather time-consuming event.

Features of the ceiling in the bath

The main components of the elements from which the bath ceiling consists are beams that rest on the walls. The laying interval is calculated, depending on the thickness that the beams have. From above there are bars that perform the function of the supports for the pavement shields and to which the ceiling is fixed. Other elements of overlappings are boards, thermal insulation material, steam and waterproofing.

Selection of material for insulation

Popular materials for thermal insulation of a bath ceiling, and at the same time the most heat-resistant Consider below:

Minvata. The material is made of artificial fibers. In this process, such raw materials as basalt, dolomite and limestone can be involved. Mountain-based mining has the most sustainable properties to heat. Her advantages are durability, refractory. However, it loses properties during wetting, therefore it is necessary to lay waterproofing material on top of it.
Equouthat. This cottage is made of cellulose and consists of wood fibers of small thickness, which are processed from waste paper and antiseptics. As a rule, EcoWhat is used when carrying out insulation of private houses, since in the bath its installation is associated with certain difficulties. The material is clean with an ecological position, it is able to keep warm well, despite the thin fibers. In addition, the Equata has an affordable price.
Penosole. Used in the form of liquid foam. Application is beneficial from an economic point of view, but also material is inherent in many advantages. It is fire-resistant, capable of penetrating into any hard-to-reach places, does not change its size when drying. In addition, as an additional bonus, you will get protection against noise.
Foam. The material laminated with a foil is excellent for insulation bath, as it is able to reflect thermal energy like a mirror. Thanks to the foamerma, the heating time the steam can be reduced by 2-3 times.
Ceramzit. Craftsite filling is used mainly for baths that have large dimensions. Its layer should reach 30 centimeters, which increases the mass of the construction, despite its low weight. Porous granules are susceptible to moisturizing, like mineral wool, so waterproofing is required.
Natural materials. This method is the truth of people. First, the mint clay layer is stacked, the thickness of which is 2 centimeters, or a mixture consisting of chernozem and peat; clay, sawdust and sand. You can also put wood chips that you need to pour cement mortar. The second layer is a mass of sawdust or oak leaves, the third is dry ground - about 15 cm.

Traditional ceiling insulation technique

This technique is applicable to the baths that have a attic, and buildings without it:

At the first stage, process the beams of overlapping, to which the so-called "pie" will be attached, an antiseptic composition for protecting wood from rotting and developing fungus.
Next to the beams fasten a vapor insulation material, which has an aluminum layer. At the same time, a total of 5 cm is done. Such material is able to reflect heat inside the room, which leads to a reduction in the cost of heating the premises. For fastening vaporizolation is used stapler and brackets. In addition, do not forget to glue all the seams using aluminum tape for foil.
Now we will engage in the installation of the crate to maintain vapor barrier, thermal insulation material and trim. It must be triggered in perpendicular to the beams. The gap, which remained between the skin and vapor barrier, will help create optimal conditions for the reflection of heat and will prevent the formation of condensation.
Tightly put the thermal insulation material into the space formed by the beams. At the same time, watch no gaps remain. Remember that even the smallest gaps are unacceptable to be reinforced, it is enough to pre-squeeze the material, laying it with effort. The insulation is placed outside - that is, on the side of the attic or roof.
As an outdoor protection and preventing risk of moisture, we draw waterproofing. To do this, the polyethylene film is suitable, which must be secured by the stapler. To improve the thermal conductivity, leave the gap between the heat and waterproofing material.
The last layer is a trim, which, as a rule, is represented by a clapboard or a circulating board.

Note. In the attic one should be equipped with a rough floor on top of waterproofing using an unedged or edged board.

Panel ceiling thermal insulation procedure

The panel ceiling is a construction consisting of incomplete panel shields. They are installed between the beams, leaving the minimum clearance reaching 5 cm. Boards are stuffed in the transverse direction, and as a result, a structure is obtained that resembles in the form of "trough". Each product should be coated inside with a vapor barrier material and fix the brackets. To maintain the shields of the row to the beams from the bottom of the board. After installing the shields in the so-called "troughs", as well as the space formed between the beams, put the insulation. Next, the design is sewn by boards. At the same time, work is carried out in the perpendicular direction to beams. Since the width of the shields is rarely above 60 centimeters, even trimming boards are suitable for the ceiling.

Ceiling insulation cerarmisitis

A reliable method of ceiling thermal insulation in a bath, which is popular due to its availability, is to use clay:

Switch the ceiling by boards on both sides. In addition, it is possible to use a horn instead of them.
From above, a backfilling is made using clayzit, without diluting it with another bulk material. For example, sawdust over time is able to be installed due to increased humidity. The layer thickness reaches 20-30 cm, it must correspond to the thickness of the ceiling beams.
Tamming the filling, cut the ceiling board. Do not forget to pre-proliferate it.
In the place of passing through the ceiling of the chimney, make a snowing is denser, which you need to combine with a non-aggravated material.

Warming Ceiling Ceiling

The use of materials such as clay and straw for thermal insulation of the bath ceiling is a simple and affordable method that allows you to delay heat and moisture:

Prepare the surface to work, attaching the rail between beams, withstanding a step of 25-30 cm, screws or nails.
Next, you should prepare a mixture of straw and clay in a ratio of 3 to 2 with the addition of water that will be used for insulation.
Apply a lot to the surface between the beams so as to fill the space up to the top level.
After the murmur of the layer, wait until the clay is grabbing. The mixture fully gains strength for 1 month.
After the first thick layer is frozen, you need to close the cracks and cracks in the process. For this purpose, a solution is prepared similar to the one that you used for thermal insulation.
From above, it is necessary to put foil, attach to the beams with nails or self-strokes, which protrudes plywood, which has a greater thickness, fiberboard or chipboard.
Then another layer of foil is stacked, fixing it with a stapler.

If the bath is blowing away from all the cracks, and water drips on top, then the water procedures will not bring pleasure and benefit to health. The ceiling thermal insulation made in all the rules will be the key to the comfortable stay in the pair. At the same time, do not forget about the need to arrange ventilation.
