One of the main stages of the construction of a residential building is the thermal insulation of the ceiling and walls. This is necessary so as not to suffer from the cold in winter and so that the surfaces in the house are not affected by mold and fungus. The ceilings in a private house have a fairly large area, so heat loss can be rather big.
In order to avoid this situation, you should choose the appropriate material. Insulation of ceilings in a private house should be done with a high-quality, environmentally friendly, refractory insulator, which will have a certain level of thermal conductivity. In addition, it must be resistant to moisture. Otherwise, the material will quickly lose its functionality and shape.
Insulation of the ceiling in a private house can be made by such insulators: mineral wool, expanded clay, sawdust with lime. The last two options can be used if you will be working in the attic. But mineral wool can be laid directly on the ceiling, while constructing a small structure from the profile.
In order for the insulation of the ceilings in a private house to be done efficiently, you will need the following materials: mineral wool, a waterproofing agent,
polyurethane foam, stapler and, possibly, other tools. The first thing to attach to the ceiling is a film that protects it from moisture. If there is nothing to fasten the material to (there are no wooden beams), then you should build a structure from the profile, into which cotton will then be pushed. It is best to use 2 layers of insulation. It can be fixed with self-tapping screws. In addition, it is good to use mounting foam for bonding layers. After the material is laid, you can finish the ceiling.
Difficulties may arise in those places where spotlights will be placed. However, this problem can be dealt with. Just cut out the corresponding holes in the insulation. Naturally, the material will need to be isolated.
Insulation of ceilings in a private house is desirable to produce in the attic. To do this, you can use both rolled and bulk material. In this case, the finish of the
ceiling can already be done.
Attic insulation is more effective, since it does not allow moisture to penetrate into the room. If you nail mineral wool from the inside, but do not think through waterproofing under the roof, then it will leak.
So, the insulation of the ceilings in a private house from the attic begins with the installation of a glassine and a polyethylene waterproofing pad. You can fix it with a stapler. After this procedure, insulation should be laid. In order for the ceiling insulation to be of high quality, cotton wool should be laid in 2-3 layers. You can also pour 10-15 cm of expanded clay. It is not necessary to compress the cotton, as it will be compacted over time. It is the air that is inside the material that provides heat savings in the room. After the cotton wool is laid, you should additionally cover it with glassine. That's all the features of the ceiling insulation in the house.
