It is still popular among construction companies. Usually, one would like to build additional buildings to such houses, which would emphasize the individuality of the structure. Frame extension to wooden house can be erected, in principle, and independently, however, for this it is necessary to have construction skills and follow the rules and sequence of work.

So that in the future there are no unpleasant surprises with the extension, it is necessary to consider several questions during its construction:

• The choice of material for the extension

Most the best option- this is metal carcass, then sheathed with wood. It is also necessary to immediately think about which tree (color) the veranda will be cladding from so that it is combined with the general style of the house.

• Foundation

Basically, extensions are erected after the completion of the construction of the whole house, so it is necessary not only to build the foundation for the veranda, it is also desirable to achieve the solidity of both foundations.

• Drafting an extension

You cannot start the construction of a veranda without a project plan, since this can then not only spoil the external image of the whole house, but also affect the life of the veranda. It is necessary to think over the layout, dismantle, if necessary, old buildings, provide a good approach to the construction site, think over, etc.

Do-it-yourself warming of the veranda of a wooden house

Since the veranda will be the place where noisy companies will gather, family conversations will be held during tea drinking, etc., it is necessary to think about how to ensure the preservation of heat indoors during the cold season.

The first step in the process of insulating a veranda is. The most demanded and popular type of insulation is polystyrene and mineral wool.

IMPORTANT: In order for the effect of insulation to be as noticeable as possible, a layer of foam foam must be laid between the walls of the veranda and the layer of insulation.

Because, frame extension a wooden house usually has a plank floor, it must be insulated without fail.

Thermal insulation of the veranda floor

The floor must be putty and painted with paint with frost-resistant additives. After painting, a bedding layer of foam foam is laid on the floor, and a layer of insulation material is placed on top. Floor insulation can be made from natural (cork, granular insulation, cellulose) and artificial materials.

The floor can be insulated with bulk (expanded clay, slag, foam glass), sprayed (EKOvat, penoizol), bulk (polymer mixtures), roll (mineral wool, linoleum) or tiled (foam glass, glass wool, gypsum fiber sheets) materials.

Since the floor in verandas is usually made of logs, to which the boards are attached, it is necessary to ensure the laying of insulation between the logs. To do this, you need to carefully remove the boards from the floor, spread them between the logs, lay a vapor barrier layer, and then nail the boards back.

IMPORTANT: The insulation should adhere to the logs as tightly as possible. The height of the insulation should be several millimeters below the floor level. Such a gap will ensure air circulation so that moisture does not linger inside (this will protect the floor from the appearance of fungus and decay).

Warming the walls of the veranda

To insulate the walls of the veranda from the inside, you can use not ordinary insulation (foam, mineral wool), but sheets of drywall. Their installation is very simple, it is attached quickly, especially since its cost is low.

Since the insulation of the veranda in a wooden house drywall sheets implies the construction of a crate, its basis can be not only metal, but also wooden frame... Insulation (foam, glass wool) is laid between the crate, and the sheets of drywall themselves are attached with ordinary screws to the crate profiles.

If you insulate the veranda with only one mineral wool, then it is imperative to process it from above with foam foam to ensure the required level of vapor barrier.

Another simple material for warming the veranda can be PENOPLEX. Such sheets are attached to the walls with glue. If you use PENOPLEX, then there is no need to carry out vapor barrier, since the material already possesses good characteristics waterproofing. A thin layer of plaster is then applied on top of the insulation, which is pasted over with wallpaper or simply painted in the desired color.

Outside, the walls of the veranda are insulated in the same way: the crate is attached, the cavities between the profiles of the crate are filled with a moisture insulator and insulation, after which they are attached facing materials... A frame extension to a wooden house is usually built outside. decorative panels or siding.

It is rare that during the construction of a house it is not insulated. Even if heaters are not used exactly at the time of the construction itself, the possibility of wall insulation inside the house, but ...

The construction of residential buildings made of wood is gaining more and more popularity for a number of specific reasons. If some people are interested in wooden houses because of the aesthetic ...

Modern houses made of natural materials, despite their high cost, are quite a popular phenomenon, since they have a number of advantages in comparison with their counterparts ...

No matter how large your area is private house, sometimes it is required to attach another room to it. Appointment at new room can be different: inside they equip a bedroom, a pantry, a gym, a veranda, a dining room, even a bathhouse or a garage. The best option in this case is an extension to the house from the frame. The structure is put on the foundation, a kind of frame "skeleton" is made, on which walls made of OSB-plates, insulation and waterproofing are "put on". The extension to the house is equipped with a floor and a separate roof, sometimes windows and always a door.

Before starting the construction of a frame extension to the house, decide on its location. On the north or east side, it is advisable to place a pantry or utility room, on the south or west side - a bedroom or living room (then there will be a lot of light in the room, the sun will warm up the frame annex during the day, so you will save on heating).

If there is a bedroom or living room in the annex, then make it on the south side - this way you can save a little on heating

Now sketch out the plan of the house with the new premises on a piece of paper, indicate exact dimensions structures and materials that will be used in the construction.

This plan must be submitted to the bureau of technical inventory of your locality. Of course, not all homeowners run to BTI in order to organize a frame annex. But in vain! In the event of a check, the illegal construction will most likely be obliged to demolish it. Do you need such problems?

As practice shows, BTI specialists will not create obstacles and will quickly approve the project (maximum within 10 working days).

A permit from the BTI for an extension to the house will be issued within 10 days. Provided that the application meets all the established requirements, and the construction meets the technical standards

Tools and materials for creating a frame annex to the house

Permission has been received from the BTI. Now you need to prepare tools and materials for construction. You will need:

• cement mortar;
• wooden planks;
• sand;
• small stones;
• OSB plates;
• insulation;
• waterproofing;
• putty;
• paint for OSB boards;
• material for the roof device;
• wooden or steel door(at the request of the owner);
• a window in a plastic or wooden frame (if necessary);
• linoleum, ceramic slabs or laminate flooring;
• puncher;
• construction mixer;
• rollers and brushes;
• nails and screws;
• polyurethane foam;
• construction stapler;
• shovel;
• metal pipes 15-20 cm in diameter, 2.7-3 m long.

The cement mortar is sold in packages of 25 kilograms each. Terms of use are indicated on the packaging of the goods. Price - 700 to 2 thousand rubles, some of the best manufacturers- "Silka", "Maxil", "Mapei".

The base of the extension must be strong and stable, so choose high-quality cement for the foundation, not a cheap mixture

Wooden boards will be needed first to create the foundation formwork. Then they can be used to cover the cement-filled floor to insulate and soften it. For such purposes, spruce, pine, oak are best suited. The thickness of the board is at least 5 millimeters. Choose the length depending on the area of ​​the frame extension to the house.

Choose OSB thickness not less than 7 millimeters with dimensions of 100 × 100 centimeters. The slab itself should be smooth and solid. This indicates the high quality of the product.

Mineral wool or expanded polystyrene can be used as insulation. The first option is cheap, but the material quickly deteriorates. Expanded polystyrene has long term operation (up to 20 years). It is realized in the form of slabs, the size of one is 200 × 100 centimeters.

Choose products from 10 millimeters thick from companies: "Penoplex", "Extrol", "TechnoNicol".

Expanded polystyrene for warming an extension to the house is preferable to mineral wool. It does not absorb liquid, is not afraid of temperature changes

Waterproofing is required. As such, you can use a polymer roll material... Thickness - not less than 5 millimeters.

The price per square meter is about 500 rubles. Among the firms, users recommend giving preference to the following: Bolars, Penetron, Polylen, Zubr.

Putty and paint are needed for exterior and interior decoration. You can learn more about the choice of paint.

You can put metal tiles on the roof. It is durable and weather-resistant material that will last a long time, moreover, it looks stylish and is inexpensive.

You will pay 200-400 rubles per square meter. The thickness of the tiles must be at least 5 millimeters.

Important: the easiest way is to create a frame annex to the house using OSB. Such a room will be warm and durable if it is properly insulated. Of course, walls can be built from bricks, foam blocks or wooden beams. But it is much more expensive and more energy consuming.

The drawings below will help to determine the type of room:

Using such a drawing, you can create a simple annex to a house with a pitched roof. Use your own dimensions

Such a drawing of an extension to the house will help you to easily and quickly build an additional room or, for example, a storage room.

By stages: stages of construction

The process of erecting a frame extension to a wooden house can be divided into several stages:

• foundation creation;
• pouring the floor;
• construction of a frame for an extension;
• production of walls;
• roof laying;
• installation of windows, doors;
• external finishing;
• interior decoration.

Work must be performed sequentially, observing the instructions and safety precautions. For some "events" (installing windows, laying the roof), it is advisable to involve an assistant.

Strong foundation: pouring the foundation

To create a frame extension to the house, you need to fill strip foundation. But if on the site high level groundwater, then it is more correct to make a pile or columnar base.

Instructions for the construction of a strip foundation are as follows:

1. Mark up and dig a trench 30 centimeters deep and 20 centimeters wide. The result should be a rectangle or square.
2. Fill the trench first with sand, then exactly halfway with stones for strength.
3. Insert metal pipes in the corners of the trench. They will serve as the basis for the future frame.
4. Construct the plank foundation formwork and fill the trench cement mortar prepared strictly according to the instructions.
5. Leave construction for 24 hours until dry.
6. Then fill the floor with cement mortar. It will dry completely in a day or two, depending on weather conditions. The warmer it is outside, the faster the cement hardens.

You will learn how to make a strip foundation from the video.

If you need columnar or pile foundation, watch the following videos. They will tell you about the rules for the construction of such bases.

Strong "skeleton": we put the frame

The future building already has iron pipes in the corners. Between them horizontally from the floor to the end of the pipe, other metal pipes are welded. The distance between the parallel parts is at least 70 centimeters. You can "connect" the corner iron parts with each other using wooden planks. They will also serve as a frame.

Important: if the distance between the corner tubes is more than 1 meter, then in the middle you can put another vertical pipe or a board to give the frame strength and reliability.

For information on how to make a frame for an extension to a house, see the video.

Construction "sandwich": building walls

Now, in the process of erecting an outbuilding from a frame to a wooden house with your own hands, the most difficult and interesting thing begins: the construction of walls. One camp is already there - it is part of the house. There are three more to do:

• attach the OSB to the frame with nails. There shouldn't be any large cracks more than 3 millimeters.
• On the inside of the OSB-slab, fix the waterproofing using construction stapler... The material should cover the entire area of ​​the walls - from top to bottom.
• Attach the insulation to the waterproofing using polyurethane foam. The work is not difficult. It is quite possible to deal with it alone. Do not apply too thick a layer of foam and press the insulation board tightly against the OSB wall.
• Put OSB plates on the insulation. Attach them with self-tapping screws.
• Attach waterproofing to the existing wall of the house, and OSB on top.
• If there are gaps between the slabs or the floor, fill them polyurethane foam.

Builders call this construction a "sandwich". It is erected quickly and easily, however, it is practical in operation, reliable and durable.

If you need to install windows and doors, provide them before you start installing the walls. In OSB slabs, you will need to cut holes of the required size in advance.

You will learn more about the plates themselves from the video:

Serious protection: no roof - no way

The roof for the frame extension to the house can be made single-pitched or. In any case, its creation involves the following stages:

1. We build a base from wooden planks.
2. We put insulation on top.
3. We put waterproofing on the insulation.
4. We fasten the metal tile with an overlap on top. In this case, moisture from precipitation will not accumulate under the tiles.

The lean-to roof of the extension to the house, as it were, continues the existing roof. It is quite simple to build it. Just put on the main roof wooden slats the desired length

To make it beautiful: interior and exterior decoration

The construction of the frame extension to the house is not completed until the interior and exterior finishing has been completed.

The best option for OSB boards is painting.

First, the surface is prepared:

• sanding is performed;
• antiseptics are applied (good quality at Tikso, Drevolak);
• priming ("Body", "Tex").

Then the stove is painted. They use alkyd, oil, water-based, acrylic, latex paints... For external and internal works different products are used. Information on the surfaces on which a particular colorant can be used is indicated on the packaging.

You can find out more about OSB painting.

TO interior decoration include the treatment of the floor. On cement screed put waterproofing, then insulation and wooden boards (you can skip this step if you put laminate, linoleum or ceramic tiles on the insulation).

What's next?

It would seem that the frame extension to the house is ready. But putting it into operation is not yet possible - first, you need to carry out electrical wiring, install heating radiators and connect them to the general heating system private house.

You will learn how to conduct the wiring.

Read about the heating system.

To make the extension to the house comfortable at any time of the year, lay the wiring inside, install heating radiators

Finally

In order for the frame extension to the house to be strong and safe, strictly follow the basic rules when building private houses in general and creating annexes, in particular. Do not forget about basic safety requirements at the construction site. Protect hands and eyes, and wear special clothing and sturdy footwear.

The easiest way to create an outbuilding from a frame for a house is an OSB-plate. She is quite lightweight, but fully copes with her "professional duties".

There is an opinion that using OSB is unsafe for health - products are impregnated with a mixture with phenol for strength. However, when painting and priming, phenol is stopped and not released, thus OSB does not harm health.

The country veranda (closed and open), if desired, can turn from summer to winter, i.e. from cold to warm. From the veranda, you can make an entrance hall, a corridor in the house, a full-fledged room or a winter garden, a greenhouse, in general, a warm room that can be used all year round. Therefore, it will be useful to learn how to insulate a veranda for winter residence... Below is the step-by-step instruction with photos, pictures and diagrams.

Which side to insulate the veranda - from the inside or outside

Insulation of a cold veranda begins with the choice of insulation and the place of its installation. As a rule, the veranda has a beautiful interior and exterior decoration. And it is not easy to decide which side to hide under the insulation.

To make a final and balanced choice, we offer arguments in favor of one or another type of insulation.

Insulation of the veranda from the inside

Advantages:

• can be performed in any weather;
• free access to surfaces at any height;
• all surfaces can be insulated in one go: walls, ceiling, floor.

Disadvantages:

• requires dismantling existing coverage;
• the freezing point moves into the wall, which leads to its destruction.

Insulation of the veranda outside

• the way of life caused by repair work is not disturbed;

• all rubbish remains outside the veranda;

• preservation of the veranda area;

• displacement of the freezing point into the insulation, which reduces the rate of destruction of walls, and walls can accumulate heat;

• decoration of the veranda. Veranda, sheathed OSB plates or plywood, it can be transformed after insulation with subsequent finishing.

External insulation of a wooden veranda made of a bar or log will protect the wood from getting wet, preserve the interior of the extension, and make it possible to update the facade. Among the minuses: the deprivation of the opportunity to observe the state of the veranda-log house from the street.

How to insulate the veranda - materials

With the existing variety of thermal insulation materials, the choice is still difficult. However, among the well-established:

1. Penofol

Flexible foil insulation Penofol can be used independently thermal insulation material or in combination with other types of insulation.

The material is environmentally friendly, thin, has low vapor permeability, easy to install and fireproof. Among the minuses: softness, small thickness.

2. Styrofoam

Rigid material with low weight, which does not change its properties over the period of operation. Easily mounted in both frame and frameless way. Disadvantages: interest for rodents and flammability.

Note. Insulation of the veranda with polystyrene foam saves the owner from installing a hydro and vapor barrier, because the foam has practically zero indicators of hygroscopicity and vapor permeability.

3. Expanded polystyrene

It has all the advantages of polystyrene, and is also very durable, easy to cut. Cons: low sound insulation, degrades at high temperatures (more than 100 ° C), does not burn, but self-extinguishing does not occur.

4. Mineral wool

Flexible (soft) insulation with low thermal conductivity, non-flammable, strong in compression (for dense types) and tear, provides excellent sound insulation, is resistant to temperature deformation. Mineral wool is resistant to chemical and biological activity. Cons: needs a frame, over time it loses its density (cakes), which means that the thermal insulation properties decrease.

5. Basalt wool

According to its characteristics, the material is identical to mineral wool, while being environmentally friendly.

6. Polyurethane foam (PPU)

Insulation polyurethane foam is available in three varieties:

• Dense (hard, rigid) panels
• Flexible (soft) plates
• Inflatable (sprayable)

Among the advantages: low weight, ease of installation and application, resistance to chemical and biological activity. Cons: expensive, deteriorates from mechanical stress, prone to aging when exposed to ultraviolet radiation.

Note. The low vapor permeability of polyurethane foam in slabs will lead to the accumulation of moisture and destruction of wall surfaces or structural elements.

7. Linen, tow, moss

Materials designed to insulate a veranda from a bar and a log without disturbing appearance buildings.

Linen, tow, moss are absolutely environmentally friendly, but difficult to install. In addition, they are a welcome prey for birds that use materials to build their nests.

Note. It is better to insulate with these insulators at the stage of building the veranda.

8. Synthetic insulation for construction

Polymer insulation allows you to eliminate the disadvantages inherent in natural materials... For example, building a veranda using warm house technology.

Do-it-yourself veranda insulation to the house

When going to insulate the veranda, you need to remember that insulating only one surface will not give the expected result. After all, heat evaporates from it in different directions.

Warming the floor on the veranda

Method 1:

we remove the boards of the existing floor and the subfloor (as well as floor coverings: linoleum, laminate);

we fall asleep expanded clay between the logs;

we lay the floor again.

Method 2:

dismantle flooring or we carry out work on the existing floor. Then it will perform the function of a rough coating;

install wooden blocks 50x50 on logs or on a rough floor;

Note. The thickness of the timber should be equal to the thickness of the insulation. Before installation, the timber is covered protective compound.

we lay a vapor barrier film;

we lay insulation (for example, mineral wool). We make sure that there is no free space between the frame and the insulation. If there is one, it must be filled with scraps of material and blown out with foam;

from above we cover the material with a vapor barrier or penofol. The foil part of the material turns into the interior of the room. The joint is glued with metallized tape (for example, Izospan Isospan).

we install the floor covering.

Additionally, you can insulate the veranda foundation.

Insulation of the roof of the veranda

A significant part of the heat goes away precisely through the veranda roof (the heat loss of the roof depends on the design and material). How to insulate the roof of the veranda - from the inside or outside? Simple pitched roof does not have an attic, therefore, it is difficult to move around it. To carry out the insulation, you need to dismantle the roofing material. Therefore, the roof of the veranda is insulated during the construction phase or from the side of the ceiling.

Insulation of the veranda ceiling

Differs in the same sequence of actions as floor insulation. Only the shed has to do the work. This creates some difficulties in the installation of insulation.

How to insulate the ceiling on the veranda - methods

1 way - wireframe

you need to dismantle the ceiling covering, if it is drywall and replace it with plywood or OSB;

a hydro-barrier film is attached to the surface of the ceiling;

for soft insulation a frame is made of a bar (the thickness of the bar is equal to the thickness of the insulation);

insulation is installed between the beams of the frame.

Note. With a width of a soft insulation of 600 mm. it is recommended to make the distance between the frame beams at 580-590 mm. This makes it easier to mount.

the insulation is closed with a vapor barrier film;

the ceiling is decorated with plasterboard or wall paneling.

Method 2 - frameless

Suitable for polyurethane foam and rigid insulation. In this case, the insulation is installed directly on the ceiling. Then the surface of the ceiling must be putty.

Note. Before filling the ceiling, the foam must be covered with a net. This will give the mixture a better hold.

Warming the walls of the veranda

It can also be done in two ways: frame and frameless. The work is carried out in the same order as for floor insulation.

How to insulate a wooden veranda

Many are interested in the result of outdoor insulation. Natural beauty wooden lining will be hidden under a layer of insulation. Professionals recommend dismantling the existing finish, insulating it, and then installing the lining in place. At the same time, dismantling must be done carefully so as not to damage the lamellas. However, some of the lumber will still have to be replaced. You can even out the difference in shades between the old and new lining by sanding the board.

Warming of a wooden veranda in a house from a bar and a log

Performed by hammering natural insulation in the cracks (caulking, sealing cracks between logs).

Warming a house using the "warm seam" technology - video

If the veranda from the bar has lost its attractiveness, then the insulation is carried out by installing the frame outside the extension. Insulation (heat-insulating material) is inserted inside the frame and sewn up with facing material (for example, lining, siding).

Thermal insulation of veranda windows

Wooden windows can be insulated if they are protected from outside the building with foil. At the same time, it is necessary to leave space between the window and the film. This gap (air cushion) will prevent moisture build-up and deterioration. wooden frame... The film is attached to the frame using a construction stapler. The disadvantage of warming with a film is that the transparency of the window decreases, therefore, it is removed for the warm season.

Note. Users advise, when insulating windows with a film, fill the slats on the frame, and attach the film to them. The film will be removed in the spring, but the slats will remain. Thus, the wood frame is not damaged so much when mounting / dismounting the film.

Insulation of the veranda, carried out in accordance with all the rules, will significantly preserve heat and increase the temperature in the room. According to user reviews, the temperature in the insulated veranda does not drop below zero. Of course, this is clearly not enough for everyday use. The installation of heaters will help to solve the problem.

Heated veranda

Installing a portable electric heaters- the simplest and cheap way solving the issue of heating the extension. The device of full-fledged heating on the veranda requires the development of a project, its approval in the appropriate authorities (depending on the type of heating), performance of work on the heating main, etc. It is easier to install an ufo or electric heating device on the veranda. The main thing is to comply with fire safety rules.

If we correctly insulate the veranda and choose a good heater that matches the area, the extension will become a room that can be used all year round.

Do-it-yourself veranda insulation requires certain time and material costs. But it makes it possible to get additional square meters living space. And also, this is an opportunity to practice before insulating the house.

In a harsh climate, the owners do their best to insulate the house or summer cottage. For example, a veranda is placed to protect the front door. This is a kind of vestibule where cold street air and warm air are mixed from indoor spaces... But, when insulating the house, they do not always take into account that the veranda will not interfere. additional insulation... Otherwise unheated room will freeze and damp, which is why the finish will quickly become unusable. With a competent approach, the veranda is insulated even at the construction stage. But it happens that the house was not built, but bought, and not in the very in the best possible way... In this case, do-it-yourself veranda insulation from the inside is carried out as needed. The main thing is to know where the cold "creeps" into the room, and to take all possible protection measures.

Usually the veranda is placed on the same type of foundation as the main building - monolithic concrete or concrete plates... This material does not at all block the cold that comes from the ground in winter, therefore it is able to freeze through. Heat loss through the foundation reaches 20%.

Options for insulating the base summer veranda, maybe several.

Backfilling the internal space with earth or expanded clay

These options are possible only at the stage of erection of the veranda, when foundation work is underway. Having removed the formwork, the entire internal platform is covered with earth or expanded clay. The land will be cheap, especially if there are a lot of excess soil... True, its quality of heat saving is low.

Expanded clay interlayer does not allow moisture and frost to sink into the concrete slab

Expanded clay has higher thermal insulation, but you will have to buy it. You can make a double layer: first fill the soil, and the second half - with expanded clay pebbles.

Pasting with expanded polystyrene

For Russian lands, where 80% of soils are heaving, external insulation of the foundation with expanded polystyrene is necessary. When thawing and freezing, such soils expand in volume and can deform the foundation. A layer of insulation will become an insulator that will relieve the base from direct contact with the ground, and also block frost. Expanded polystyrene plates are pasted over the entire outer surface of concrete, including the base.

For warming the veranda with your own hands, suitable: foam, extruded polystyrene foam and liquid polyurethane foam. All these are varieties of polystyrene, which differ in properties and method of application. The cheapest one - Styrofoam... It retains heat well, but will crack on moving soils. In addition, the foam pulls moisture from the ground, therefore, during its installation, an additional waterproofing layer is created (from the soil). Extruded polystyrene foam due to its dense structure, it does not saturate moisture, is not afraid of soil movements, has high frost resistance and has been serving for more than half a century. But it is expensive.

Before gluing expanded polystyrene, it is necessary to cover the entire foundation with waterproofing mastic.

Both versions of polystyrene are laid with outside foundation, excavating it to the very foundation. In this case, the first row is placed on a gravel bed. Before laying, the foundation is coated with bitumen-polymer mastic (for waterproofing), and when it dries up, polystyrene foam plates are glued. The adhesive must be polyurethane. It is applied in dots or by smearing the entire sheet. The joints between the slabs are also taken on glue so that there are no cold bridges and gaps for moisture penetration.

The newest way external insulation – polyurethane foam spraying... He is brought to the construction site in the form liquid components and special equipment sprayed onto the foundation. After curing, the coating becomes dense, monolithic and very durable. According to its characteristics, this material is not inferior to its extruded "brother", but the cost of work is more expensive.

With sprayed insulation, the most best quality thermal insulation because there are no joints

To keep your feet warm: floor insulation

In addition to the foundation, the floor is closest to the ground. Its insulation is a must if you do not want to see black spots of dampness in the corners.

Most often, concrete floors are poured on verandas. If you plan to heat the veranda using the "warm floor" system, then you should take care of it already at the stage of filling the subfloors. Better to choose electrical system, which you will include as needed. The water floor can be very low temperatures freeze, and you will have to wait for spring to thaw, or dismantle the coating to warm up the pipes.

If on the veranda lay old tiles, then you can put the insulation directly on it

Consider how you can insulate the floor on an unheated veranda:

1. The entire subfloor is covered with crushed stone, and from above - with sand and tamped tightly.
2. Lay out reinforcing bars or mesh (so that the concrete does not burst) and make concrete screed 5 cm thick.
3. When the fill is tired, we create a waterproofing. The easiest way is to coat the screed with a water-repellent mastic. But it's cheaper - to lay sheets of roofing material and fasten them together with the help bituminous mastic(or warm up with a burner and roll in).
4. On top of the waterproofing, logs impregnated with an antiseptic are mounted, and insulation is laid out between them. The best option is mineral wool with a foil side. The foil does not release infrared radiation from the veranda, along with which most of the heat evaporates. Rolls of insulation are placed after all the logs are installed.
5. Can also be insulated with expanded polystyrene. Then the joints between the plates must be blown out with polyurethane foam, and when it dries, cut off the excess.

After that, boards or decking are laid, because both materials are warm. The board must be treated in every possible way against decay and painted with a protective compound. Besides, natural wood very afraid of poor ventilation. To avoid dampness, it is necessary to make ventilation vents in the foundation, which should be located below the floor level.

Insulation is placed with foil facing up so that it reflects heat back to the veranda

Decking does not require ventilation in the underground, because it is not afraid of dampness and temperature extremes

Decking is also a board, but already processed with compounds at the factory. It is made of larch, which is not afraid of frost or moisture. Such material is lined open terraces, so it is all the more suitable for the veranda. True, the cost of such a floor will not be cheap.

We put heat protection for the walls

The walls have a large area of ​​contact with the street, so we will consider how to insulate the veranda with our own hands from the outside and from the inside. Outside, insulation is carried out if the wall material looks unpresentable. Those. it can be blocks, an old tree, etc.

External insulation

a) For wooden walls:

1. We close up all the cracks in the building.
2. We fill the tree with a vertical crate of beams with a step of up to half a meter. It is better to measure the width of the insulation and fill it exactly to its size. Then all the slabs will fit snugly against the crate.
3. We insert mineral wool between the beams, securing the dowel-umbrellas.
4. We fix the waterproofing film on top with a stapler.
5. We decorate with clapboard or siding.

After laying the mineral wool, it is necessary to attach a waterproofing film to the crate with a stapler

b) For block walls:

1. We glue on the walls expanded polystyrene plates with a special adhesive, additionally strengthening the dowel-umbrellas.
2. We coat the same glue on the top of the slabs and fix the reinforcing mesh on them.
3. After drying, we cover the walls with decorative plaster.
4. We paint.

Pick up adhesive composition specially for laying polystyrene foam boards

All layers of the insulation cake are hidden under decorative plaster.

We warm ourselves from the inside

If from the outside the veranda looks aesthetically pleasing, and you do not want to change its appearance, then you can hold internal insulation... But, before insulating the veranda from the inside, it is necessary to carefully seal all the cracks (in a wooden building).

Work progress:

1. Stuff the crate.
2. They fix a waterproofing film with a stapler, which will not let moisture from the street into the insulation.
3. A metal frame is mounted from profiles, on which drywall is then fixed.
4. The frame is filled with mineral wool.
5. Cover the insulation with a vapor barrier film.
6. Plasterboard is mounted.
7. Apply a topcoat (putty, paint).

The distance between the metal profiles must match the width of the insulation sheets

We check the tightness of the installation of windows, doors

Large heat losses can come from windows and doors. If your veranda has old wooden windows, but you do not want to change them to double-glazed windows, then you need to thoroughly check their tightness:

• First of all, we pay attention to the quality of the glazing of the veranda: for this we pull each glazing bead.
• If they are cracked or loose, then it is better to take out all the glass, clean the grooves and coat them with silicone sealant.
• Then we insert the glass back and apply the sealant along the edge.
• Press with glazing beads (new!).

Walk with an ordinary metal ruler at the joints of the frame and the window opening. If in some places it passes freely, then these slots must be sealed with polyurethane foam. Check the front door in the same way. If you bought a non-insulated version, you will have to insulate the canvas yourself with inside and upholstery with leatherette.

Sealing the glass on both sides with sealant will make it windproof

All places where the ruler moves freely must be foamed.

Eliminate warm air leaks through the ceiling

It remains to figure out how to insulate the ceiling, because a significant part of the heat evaporates from the wooden veranda through it. Especially if it opens Entrance door... A stream of cold air rushing inward instantly squeezes up warm air.

Most the best way- put a foamed foamed polymer between the beams, which at the same time will keep heat and will not allow moisture to pass through.

You can also choose mineral wool, but then the roofing material is put in the first layer for vapor barrier, and on it - insulation plates.

Roofing material is laid under mineral wool for waterproofing

After such a thorough insulation, your veranda will withstand any frost, even if it is unheated.

The veranda is an excellent place where you can have tea with a family or friends, or just relax. In hot weather, it turns into the most popular area of ​​the house, but when the temperature drops, the situation changes dramatically, because no one wants to sit in the cold.

But there is a way out of this situation. You just need to find out how to insulate the veranda and carry out the necessary processes. Correct insulation will help preserve well-established comfort and prevent the appearance of black spots that form when the temperature drops.

The amount of materials that can be used for insulation is simply enormous. But of them, one can single out those that are given the greatest preference among consumers, because they have perfectly proven themselves with their positive qualities.

Mineral wool

• The material allows air to pass through, due to which the humidity inside the room decreases.
• The insulation is fireproof and is perfect for verandas of wooden buildings.
• It has excellent water resistance, repelling moisture and allowing you to maintain a favorable indoor climate.
• Minwata is excellent at suppressing sounds. A veranda using this material eliminates the incoming noise from the street, adding additional amenities.
• The insulation is environmentally friendly. It does not contain any harmful substances and is odorless.

Mineral wool is used to insulate floors, ceilings, walls and ceilings. There is a huge assortment on the market that allows you to choose the perfect look from a number of different manufacturers. It is suitable both for covering the veranda and for completely insulating the house.

Styrofoam

• Styrofoam without special efforts insulation is made. Fastening of sheets is carried out using special glue or mechanical fasteners.
• The structure of the material allows you to keep the heat inside the terrace in the winter and create coolness in the summer.
• The product does not contain toxic substances. It does not grow mold and various kinds of insects. It is quite often used behind drywall or under floor screed.
• It is used as insulation for ceilings, walls and flooring.

Penofol

• The insulation is suitable for both independent and combined use with other similar products.
• Installation is straightforward. The material is fire resistant and is ideal as insulation for houses with wooden verandas.
• Penofol does not emit and does not contain any substances hazardous to health.
• The product has a foil layer, thanks to which the veranda receives an additional level of protection from winter frost.
• The material perfectly resists the entry of cold outdoor air.

Expanded polystyrene

The product is very similar in its characteristics to polystyrene. It is highly durable and easy to finish. Perfect as a heater for a terrace.

Polyurethane foam

This product is distributed in 3 different types: flexible slabs, rough panels and inflatable. The advantages include easy installation and low weight. The disadvantages are poor tolerance to mechanical stress and a noticeably high cost.

Foam and mineral wool are the leaders in demand among consumers. They are beneficial and excellent veranda heaters that have a number of positive properties and can save you a decent amount of money.

The process of warming the veranda

It is quite simple to insulate the veranda with your own hands if you understand well all the stages of the work being carried out. Basically, the terrace is being built on the same foundation as the house. Usually these are concrete slabs or a cast-in-place concrete base. V winter period 20% of the heat leaks through it, therefore, before the veranda is insulated, it is necessary to insulate the foundation of the structure. This process is carried out without much difficulty. It is required to glue polystyrene foam boards to the surface of the base.

Floor

First of all, when the terrace is insulated, the floor is insulated. Some people do not attach much importance to this process, limiting themselves only to processing ceilings and walls, believing that it is not necessary to insulate floor surfaces and are deeply mistaken. V wooden verandas often the floor is laid as follows: on the ground or concrete base logs are laid, on which boards are then placed and installed. For insulation, the following steps must be performed:

• remove the boards;
• between established lags it is required to fix wooden beams with screws;
• insulation is placed in the resulting compartments - mineral wool, foam plastic or foam plates;
• when settling mineral wool, additional insulation is required when using foil or film, which will exclude the possibility of getting wet;
• the remaining empty spaces are sealed with foam for installation;
• the floorboards can now be laid back.

Sheathing inside

Insulation of the veranda can be performed both from the outside and from the inside. When insulated from 2 sides, it will be possible to achieve an outrageous level of protection of the terrace during winter frosts, while retaining much more heat.

1. All existing gaps are initially sealed.
2. Then you need to build from timber frame.
3. Further on the beam is attached a special waterproofing film... It is better to install it from the inside. construction stapler, thanks to which the process will take less time and will be much more convenient.
4. After these procedures, a frame is constructed from a bar or metal profile filled with foam or other similar material. It is desirable that the distance between the metal profiles correspond to the width of the insulation itself.
5. Drywall is installed on top of the frame.
6. The finishing stage is plastering, painting or installing artificial turf on the wall surface.

Ceiling insulation

For achievement effective level insulation of the veranda must be insulated and the ceiling of the room. This procedure is quite time consuming. For high-quality work done, you should initially decide on the insulation and the technology of application or installation.

Thermal insulation of the ceiling in the attic is mainly carried out during the construction of the terrace, but if it was not there initially, then it can be built some time later. Sheets of polystyrene or other insulation material and vapor barrier are settled in the subrafter frame.

It will be a little more difficult to insulate the terrace from the inside. The thermal insulation process can be done in one of several ways.

First way:

1. First, a frame of 3 × 3 cm beams is erected on the ceiling.
2. The formed cells are settled insulation material with a similar thickness.
3. After that, the ceiling is covered with plasterboard.
4. The final stage is painting or plastering the surface.

Second way:

1. Instead of the old ceiling covering, OSB or plywood is covered.
2. This is followed by a waterproofing film.
3. A frame is constructed from beams, in which mineral wool, foam or other type of insulation is placed.
4. At the end, the structure made of beams is covered with a film, on top of which the lining is hammered.

The third way

• The third method is the easiest. Frameless insulation is carried out only with solid material.
• Styrofoam sheets are fixed to the ceiling itself without any specially equipped structures.
• Next, a construction mesh is placed on the ceiling, which is covered with putty.

External wall insulation

For self-warming of the veranda, you will need polyurethane foam in liquid form or foam. But when placed on moving soils, the second may crack, after which a waterproofing procedure will be required from the inside, because it will begin to draw in moisture from the ground. The polyurethane foam is in liquid state... It is sprayed onto the base, and when hardened, forms a fairly hard coating.

Wooden walls

The outer part of the terrace is insulated in different ways, depending on the base material. The wood surface is processed as follows:

• All existing gaps are filled.
• The crate is being built in a vertical position. It is advisable to make it in accordance with the dimensions of the insulation, especially if it is sheet, due to which, during installation, there will be a tight abutment to the frame.
• In the resulting compartments, mineral wool is placed, which is attached with dowels.
• A waterproofing film is stretched from above, which is fixed with a construction stapler.
• The final stage is clapboard finishing or wall cladding.

Brick walls

Sheets of expanded polystyrene are glued to the constructed walls made of block or bricks, which are fixed with dowels. On top of the slabs are also covered adhesive mixture and carpeted construction mesh... After drying, the surface is plastered and painted in the desired color.

Having learned how to insulate a veranda, many will be able to independently perform the listed actions without involving outside specialists. Having done all the steps correctly, you do not have to worry about a comfortable and cozy stay on the terrace, even in winter, when a terrible frost reigns outside the window.
