The construction of wooden houses is becoming increasingly popular. And this leads to the fact that the technologies used for interior decoration must correspond to the selected material and style. Since the emphasis in a wooden house is primarily on the environmental friendliness of construction, floors, walls and ceilings must be properly equipped. It can be implemented in different ways. For example, today many owners prefer to make a warm floor in a wooden house. There are a number of reasons for this.
Design Features
First you need to say that underfloor heating in a private house can be mounted from boards or concrete. In our case, we will consider how to create a coating specifically for a wooden residential object. So, gender is a combination of several layers:
- draft
- heat insulating;
- waterproofing;
- fine;
- flooring.
If necessary, heating elements can be placed between the layers in order to create a warm floor in a wooden house. The coating is erected on logs or on poles, if the foundation is not made of concrete. From the point of view of construction, the floors can be single-layer or double-layer. Their main difference is the presence of a draft layer in the second embodiment.
How to insulate?
Any floor - made of wood or concrete - must be insulated. To do this, you can use heat-insulating materials in the form of mineral wool or mats, polyurethane. With their help, a thick layer is created, which fills the internal space between the layers. To make a warm floor in a wooden At home, many owners also use old materials, such as sawdust or dry foliage. The most important thing when arranging such a design is the need for a gap, which should be left above the insulating layer: this will ensure free air circulation.
The device of heated floors in the house requires attention to the ventilation system. That is why the rough floor is being built : it is the foundation on which the insulating material is laid. In addition, its function is a kind of air gap, which ensures the preservation of heat in the house and the durability of the operation of the entire structure.
Technology features
A warm floor in a wooden house is created in several stages. To begin with, a draft layer is mounted, which should be well ventilated. It is necessary to take into account the good waterproofing of the foundation with the help of a competent blind area or with the use of roofing material, coated waterproofing materials. All the boards below, logs should be treated with antiseptics to protect the base of the floor from decay and destruction.
Direct insulation can be performed in several layers:
- waterproofing;
- insulation;
- vapor barrier.
The next stage is the finishing flooring, for example, from chipboard or grooved boards. Linoleum, laminate or other material is already laid on the finishing coating. As for the choice of the latter, it must meet the requirements of incombustibility, hypoallergenicity, strength, durability, ease of installation and ease. For thermal insulation, it is best to use mineral wool, as a waterproofing, you can choose isoplast, PVC membrane or roofing material.
