How to insulate a frame house

The issue of housing insulation always seems very difficult due to a large number of subtleties that must be taken into account so that the future does not happen and moisture and cold do not climb into your house. Indeed, this question is very scrupulous, but it is simply necessary to warm your apartment. In this article, we will just talk about the rules for insulation of the frame house, about its various types and methods of conducting this work.

The most important thing is that you need to know about the insulation of the frame room is that not only the walls will have to be insulated, as the main population of Russia is used to doing, but also the ceiling with the floor. As for the ceiling, the thickness of its insulation should be half more than the walls!

In order to insulate the walls, you need to do a lot of work to determine the so -called «dew point». The concept implies the place in the wall where moisture to be accumulated from air will usually accumulate. If the “dew point” is incorrectly, then sooner or later your walls will begin to rot and become covered with mold. Therefore, such a procedure is important before the immediate start of work. To successfully calculate the place of moisture accumulation, we will use the following criteria:

Insulation material;

The number of layers in one wall;

Moisture level inside the house;

Moisture level from the outside.

The ceiling and floor is not as difficult as walls, so we will analyze this particular issue. There are two ways of wall insulation in total: external and internal. The most reliable and safety is. By choosing this method of wall insulation, you are guaranteed to receive:

The ability to transfer the dangerous «dew point» away from the carrier wall;

Complete protection of walls from precipitation and temperature change;

Protection against dampness;

Good sound insulation.

The fundamental role in the insulation of the frame house is played by the insulation itself. From the whole variety, you can distinguish such materials as glass wool, polystyrene, pergamine, slab fiberboard and mineral wool. The mentioned materials have all the necessary properties for successful insulation of the room: thermal insulation, soundproofing, waterproofing and steam -proceeding. Also, when buying the material, it is worth paying attention to that it has a very low probability of ignite from overheating.
