One of the great properties of wood is thermal insulation. Houses built of logs or timber are always warm and comfortable, despite the most severe climatic conditions. However, in such buildings, in addition to walls constructed of solid wood, there are many planar structures made of prefabricated materials.
Such a surface is the ceiling in a wooden house. Usually it is based on special beams and floors from various lumber. But even with all efforts, it is not possible to avoid the formation of gaps and gaps between the boards. Therefore,
wooden ceilings must be additionally insulated. And you need to take this seriously, and do the work carefully.
Insulation of the ceiling in a wooden house
When the main construction work on the construction of the building is completed, the time comes to deal with its thermal insulation. And first of all, you should insulate the walls and floor. This is usually done six months after the completion of construction. During this time, the log house will shrink, and all the defects of the main structures will appear.
The revealed cracks and distortions are necessarily eliminated. Then, thermal insulation of wall structures and the floor is carried out. And only after that it is possible to insulate the ceiling in a wooden house.
In the presence of an attic for high-quality thermal insulation of the
ceiling of the first floor, sometimes a single layer of insulation and
waterproofing film is enough
. The ceiling of the upper level requires additional materials and work.
And it is necessary to begin these works with insulation of the roof. Waterproofing and thermal insulation material are laid directly on the ceiling. Between the roof and the insulation layer, a small gap must be left. The air cushion that occurs in this case will not only retain heat, but will also prevent condensation from forming.
The ceiling in a wooden house today is most often insulated with modern materials made on the basis of fiberglass. Such a heater is environmentally friendly and has a significant life. Properly executed thermal insulation will allow you to get real pleasure from living in a cozy and comfortable home.
Finishing the ceiling in a wooden house
Currently, there are many ways to finish it. The most popular, and also quite beautiful finishing material is wood. Its use for decorating the ceiling in a wooden house looks quite natural. This will help to create a unified style and a unique atmosphere of harmony.
As a finishing material use:
- wooden lining;
- veneered panels;
- panels from an array.
You can also finish the ceiling in a wooden house with exclusive hemmed embossed bars. With their help, a beautiful unique ornament is easily created. This method of decoration has many advantages over the others, in particular, the installation speed, because for this it is enough to just attach small bars to the ceiling.
Drywall is considered a good finishing material. Only it cannot be fixed directly to the draft ceiling - you must first mount the suspension structure, to which sheets of this modern material are subsequently attached.
