How to insulate a wooden house?

Thermal insulation of a wooden house is an important part of its comfort and comfort. How to insulate a wooden house? This issue (the preservation of heat in a wooden log or log house) is affected even at the earliest stage of planning and designing a house.

Thermal insulation materials are divided into separate types:

1. Mineral and ecowool;
2. fiberglass;
3. Foam and foam isole;
4. Plaster thermal insulation;
5. Heat-insulating paint.

At the stage of building a wooden house, you can retreat somewhat from the design decision, but in the question of "how to insulate a wooden house," you should adhere to building codes and recommendations. After all, the recommended thermal insulation materials in the project are indicated taking into account individually carried out calculations for the heat losses in the building under construction.

Mineral wool is produced in the form of slabs and in rolls. Minvata has good thermal insulation characteristics and fire resistance. Ecowool serves as a heater of voids between separate elements of a ceiling and wall surfaces.

Fiberglass is manufactured using molten glass. It has negative characteristics in terms of fire safety.

Polyfoam has excellent heat insulation properties. And it is very easy to install and convenient to transport. Foam sheets have different sizes for thickness and their individual density. These parameters must be taken into account when calculating heat losses. Penoizol is a liquid heat insulator made of foam plastic.

Plaster heat-insulating with special additives made of perlite is used in conjunction with other building materials.

The heat-insulating paint contains filler, water, acrylic dispersion and various additives.

Internal insulation of the house necessarily includes walls, ceiling, windows and floor. How to insulate a wooden house and the interior surfaces of walls? First, do not make the insulation of the walls from the inside, because the layer of insulation occupies a certain percentage of the useful area of the room. Secondly, while the wall surface is constantly under the influence of different temperatures, which leads to its rapid destruction. Yes, and the moisture formed, hitting the heat-insulating layer, reduces to zero all the protective measures taken.

How to start and how to insulate a wooden house? You need to start with the attic. Typically, for the ceiling is used a mineral wool and foam. First, a pergamine layer is installed for waterproofing the surface. The mineral wool or polystyrene is laid on it, fixed with racks to the beams. Then one more waterproofing layer is superimposed on top. It is important that the gap between the sheets does not exceed 1 centimeter. All the cracks are filled with foam. Insulation of the ceiling for greater reliability is done in two layers, and on top is lined with boards.

How to insulate a wooden house from the outside in the area of wooden windows and doors? Both outside and inside the premises for wooden windows and doors, special rubber seals or tubular insulation are used together with the sealant.

As a heater for the floor surface, polystyrene foam is used. It fits directly on the old cover. Next comes a reinforcing mesh and a cement screed is poured on top.

The thermal insulation of the wooden house from the outside is carried out with the help of plates of expanded polystyrene and special glue, as well as reinforcing mesh, external primer and plaster polymer. How to insulate a wooden house from the outside? First, polystyrene plates are attached to the external surface of the building with glue and metal dowels. Then a layer of reinforcing mesh follows. Next, the priming of the outer surface and the top of it a layer of polymer plaster. It is important to take into account that at present polymer plaster plays a double role. It will be able to warm the wooden house and its external surface, and also improve the appearance due to the color design of the house.

Warming a wooden house is important not only in terms of comfort and coziness, but also economically beneficial for the purse of the owner of the dwelling. After all, timely measures to insulate the wooden house will save considerable money due to unnecessary and unplanned expenses for heating the room, for the total life of the building.
