The frame house is the most available way Evaluate your own home. But such buildings do not differ in heat. They must additionally need to equip thermal insulation.

As a heater, mineral wool or foam is often chosen. Today we will understand whether it is possible to warm frame house foam and if so, how to do it?

What is this material and its advantages

Polyfoam is produced by foaming and pressing polystyrene. As a result, they receive a plate that consists of a plurality of bubbles filled with air. Thanks to such a structure, the material and gained popularity as a heater.

He has several positive characteristics:

• Little weight. The design does not load the basic design and when transporting problems it is extremely rare.
• Good level of thermal insulation. 1 cm material misses less heat outward than 7 cm of red bricks.
• Affordable price. The cost of foam is the lowest compared to other insulation.
• The material is not seated even after long-term operation.

A close "relative" foam is extruded polystyrene foam (EPPS), which is produced in an extrusion autoclave. It is also used to insulate the buildings.

Workers who have specialized education are not advised to carry out insulation of walls frame house foam. This is associated with several disadvantages of the material:

1. Combustion. Insulation easily flashes. So that he caught fire, you need a continuous source of fire, which can perform wooden elements Frame house. Although manufacturers argue that the material is processed by special antipirens and is absolutely secure in this regard. But the opinions of specialists in fire safety differ. And in State standards The foam is still considered to be a flammable material.
2. Toxicity. During operation, the insulation does not distinguish any caustic or harmful substances. But if the material begins to ignite, it stands out black smoke, which is very dangerous to human life and human health.
3. Low steam permeability. In the process of vital activity, all living organisms allocate steam. For comfortable accommodation In the room you need so that the pairs go out. IN otherwise On surfaces in the rooms, mold and fungus will develop, which is also very dangerous for a person.

Since the material does not miss steam, it will accumulate between the wall and the insulation and will lead to the fact that the wooden elements will begin to prematurely collapse. In addition, the insulation of the frame house with foam creates the effect of the thermos. The heat is stored indoors always and in winter time And in summer.

But if for cold pores such an effect is simply necessary, then in the summer in the house, it will be unbearable, because of the constantly high air temperature. You will need to install air conditioning or fans.

If you choose a safer insulation does not allow family budgetYou can use several advice of professionals:

• Before performing the insulation of the house with a foam outside, the material must be additionally treated with antipirens (substances that oppose the fire).
• Forced ventilation will help withdraw in environment Couple.
• Heat insulation from foams need to be covered on both sides. windproof film. From the side of the inner wall, it will perform the function of waterproofing. Condensed steam will be removed using a ventilated gap. And the outer side will protect against moisture from the atmosphere and reduced temperatures.

Montaja rules

If the building is erected on its own, then with the question of how correctly insulate the frame house with foam is worth contacting professionals. After all, if you do not adhere to technology, then over time, wooden frameworks will begin to refuse.

Solar Scheme S. hinged facade: 1 - Interior decoration; 2 - vaporizolation; 3 - frame rack; 4 - polystyrene foam; 5 - siding; 6 - vapor-permeable moisture protection membrane.

1. In order to extend the service time of the main design elements, they need to be protected from moisture. To do this, they are covered with double-sided sealing adhesive tape. Before applying, you need to clean the wooden rack from pollution.
2. The next step will be the arrangement of vapor barrier. From the side of the premises, the steamproof membrane on the Help 10-15 cm is stacked, the joints necessarily skatech. This will make a layer sealed.
3. The wall on the side of the room is coated with boards or plates.
4. Next you need to go to the side of the facade. There between frame racks is performed. Plates of the material are placed tightly so that no gaps and cracks remain. Jokes preferably handled sealant or mounting foam. It is necessary to ensure that the joints of the subsequent rows do not coincide with the previous ones.
5. When the insulation is fully laid on the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe facade, it should be covered with windproof membrane. A small amount of moisture that will fall on the foam under influence low temperatures May destroy the material. Film will protect both insulation, and placing from heat loss.
6. Insulated frame houses with expanded polystyrene require additional decorative finish. It will also perform the function of protection against external negative influences. To do this, you can use siding, facade tiles And even decorative plaster.

The insulation of the frame house with extruded polystyrene foam is carried out by the same technology as foam. The difference lies in the fact that if the Penoplex is used, then you do not need to buy plates of the maximum thickness. This insulation has a thermal conductivity coefficient even less than the foam.

After the construction of the frame comes it is time for insulating work. The wooden skeleton itself serves as an excellent basis for filling the cells with insulating material, one of which is a foam. This material has excellent thermal insulating properties and other characteristic advantages, including an affordable price.

First you need to decide on what kinds of foam plastic will be needed for insulation of walls, floors and ceiling in the house, then the choice of material grade. Then it's time mounting workcarry out that you need, following proper method In compliance with all rules and norms. As a result of all manipulations, the structure receives excellent thermal insulation and is ready for further finishing work.

Views

Polyfoam is not one material, but their whole class, distinctive feature which is a foamed cell structure. For heat-insulating work The framework of the framework of the foam can be used in the frame house:

• PPT - plate polystyrene foam insulating or "ordinary foam";
• PSB-S.- polystyrene foam suspended inappropriate, non-combustible view foam;

• penoplex. - modified version of expanded polystyrene;
• penophol - Rugged polystyrene foam with a foil substrate;
• liquid foam - Carbamy-formaldehyde foam, is perfect for strangling slots, joints and other problem areas.

Each of these species has its own specifics, and its use is appropriate under certain conditions. Standard foam has several main criteria, such as density and purpose: for walls, base, foundation, and the like.

The density determines the main parameters of the foam - thermal conductivity, the higher the density, the better heat-insulating properties and strength that is in the same progressive dependence.

The main types of foam have a density of 10-35 kg / cube. m and appropriate labeling: PPT-20 (20 kg / cubic meters), PPT-35 (35 kg / cubic meters) and so on. And also this parameter defines the price and scope of foam. For example, PPT-15 is relatively mild and cannot be used for outdoor insulation.

The universal is considered to be PPT-35, which has the highest characteristics, due to which it can be used everywhere, but the price is also the highest. It is impractical to use such a foam for internal insulation Walls, where his strength will not bring any dividends, as they simply do not need it. The dependence of the density strength is significantly higher than for thermal insulation properties. Often PPT-15 is used to insulate roof / ceiling, PPT-25 - walls and other vertical surfaces, and PPT-35 - floor.

With your own hands, lay the insulation is quite simple, if you follow the recommendations of specialists. You can warm up both ministerial and penplex. Each of them has both its advantages and disadvantages and various reviews. What to insulate, you can choose yourself.

Phased insulation at home

Parosolation

Polyfoam does not miss steam, but, accordingly, does not evaporate the moisture that fell through the facade of the building. To prevent its penetration on the framework of the building from the room, you need to make vaporizolation.

• double-sided sealing adhesive tape;
• reinforced grid or other material as a vapor polypoletor.

Works are performed in a certain order.

• At the time of work, the framework must be processed protective impregnations, then access to it will be closed.
• Dust and dirt are removed from the frame in the area of \u200b\u200bwork.
• With ribbon removal protective film And it is applied to all framework elements that vapor barrier will come into contact.
• A protective film from the second side is removed from the tape.

• The roll with vapor insulation rolls over the racks, consistently pressing to the ribbons. The jokes are sampled with a ribbon, and the rolling cannons overlap each other about 200 mm.
• After gluing the film, it is additionally fixed by the stapler with an interval of 25 to 30 cm.
• To ensure further walls of the walls and protect vapor barrier from damage, rails are mounted on the frame. At the same time it does not matter, they will be attached immediately after vapor barrier or immediately before finishing.

The vapor barrier technology provides absolute protection against the penetration of moisture on the foam, but prevents its outlet outlet. In this regard, the house should be equipped with good exhaust ventilationotherwise mold and other problems can not be avoided.

Heat insulation and waterproofing of walls

After the vaporizolation, there is a turn of the insulation of walls by foam. For these purposes, the following materials will be needed:

• pPT plates or PSB-C 10 cm in thickness, foam is suitable with a density of 15 kg / cube. m or higher;
• film with wind and hydraulic protection properties;
• reiki with a cross section of 20x30 mm;
• tape sticky sealing;
• mounting foam.

Works are carried out as follows.

1. The stoves are stacked between the frame racks, often the distance between them is initially laid under the size of the plates - 50 cm. When neformat, the plates will have to either cut, or fill out the clearance of the sliced \u200b\u200bpiece of the plate of the corresponding width. For cutting foam better use small knob or mounting knife.
2. The gaps between the frame and the plates are poured by the mounting foam.
3. The second layer of plates is stacked so that the joints are not lined up in one line with the first side, otherwise there will be bridges of cold. The gaps are also foam.
4. A film for wind and waterproofing outside is mounted like vaporizolation inside. The frame is placed sealing ribbonThen the protective film is attached to it and subsequently fixed by the stapler.
5. Rakes on self-drawing are attached top of the attached film to the frame. The created clearance is necessary for ventilation in order to remove moisture that fell under the facade cladding. When installing the rails, it is necessary to use the level to maintain the correct vertical of the walls. If the frame has been erected not perfectly, the rails make it possible to fix it. The location of the rivers is easily regulated by the lining of plywood trimming under the desired end.

There is no big difference between, it is first to sample the frame from the inside, and then outside or, on the contrary, the sequence of these stages remains at discretion.

Floor insulation

At this stage, such materials will be needed:

• PPT-35;
• parosolation film;
• sealing adhesive tape;
• mounting foam;
• penofol or other substrate.

Isolation occurs by this plan:

1. a steam-insulating film with the sickers of the joints is stacked on the lags, the nestling of the canvas should be about 200 mm;
2. between the lag, PPT is placed, and the gaps between them are filled with foam;
3. the second layer of the vaporizolizing film is stacked on top, the consolidation method is the same as in the walls - on the adhesive tape, fixing the stapler;
4. above the substrate to improve noise insulation.

Heat ceiling

For these purposes, the following materials will be needed:

• far differed film;
• sealing adhesive tape;
• capron thread;
• nails.

Works are carried out in this order:

1. parosolation is fixed in the beams of overlapping and flooring the attic by means of self-adhesive tape and stapler, like the walls;
2. in the lower part of the beams, nails are pounded with an interval of 20-30 cm, so that the caps protrude under the strapping thread;
3. polyfoam is inserted between the ceiling beams and is fixed with a zigzag stretch of the caprony thread between nails, with a tight fit of the plates additional fixation can not be carried out;
4. the second layer of vaporizolation is fixed to the beams stapler.

Advantages and disadvantages

When using foam, it is worth considering the specifics of this material based on its strengths and weaknesses.

• Provides excellent thermal insulation - thermal conductivity is only 0.037-0.043 W / k * m. In winter, warmth of such a house does not come out, and in the summer - coolness, hot street air is again delayed outside. The foam creates the effect of the thermos and allows you to save both on heating and on air conditioning.
• It has excellent moisture resistance and waterproofing, the water absorption of the foam sheet in 28 days under water is about 3%, the diffusion resistance of water vapor - (P) in rigid foams from 20 to 100 units.
• High levels of noise absorption.
• Low price, one of the most available materials For thermal insulation.

In order for the house to be warm, it is necessary to warm it correctly. Make it can be done different ways - synthetic cotton, stone Vata., expanded polystyrene, foam and others. We learn how the skeleton house is insulated with foam.

What types are there

The insulation based on foam is divided into several species. All of them have similar characteristics, but are fixed to the walls in different ways.

• penoplex.
• polystyrene foam
• penophol
• liquid foam
• actually foamflast

At the same time, the foam itself varies in density and function: there is a foam for the walls, there is for the base and the foundation.

Consider the difference in foam of density. The higher the density, respectively, best characteristics He has thermal insulation. The standard foam density is usually located in the range from 10 to 35 kg / m3. Thus, the foam brands have the designations of PPT 15 (i.e., with a density of about 15 kg / m3), PPT 20, PPT 25 and PPT 35.

Please note that each of these brands differs in price, and also has its scope. For example, PPT 15 is too soft, its density is low, so it can not be used for floor insulation. The most universal brand of PPT 35 although it can be used everywhere without damage to the foam, but its price is higher than the rest, so it will be irrational to insulate the walls from the inside of the room - too expensive. The more denser the foam, the better it retains the form, but less dense foam is slightly warmer.

Thus, PPT 15 is used to insulate the roof, PPT 25 - for the insulation of walls and vertical surfaces, and PPT 35 - for insulation of floors.

How to insulate the walls

The foam is traditionally used to insulate the walls of the frame house, but it is better to use it for insulation of the house outside, as the technical smell that highlights the plates of the foam, weathering out of the room at least a week. In the first week after the insulation of the walls inside the house, residents may have headaches, sleep.

What you need to prepare walls to insulation:

• perforator
• grater
• paint brushes
• bucket or other packaging for breeding mixtures
• spatulas
• needle roller
• a hammer

To fix the foam, you need to make a flat surface of the wall, for which we remove old finish. After cleaning the walls from dirt, dust and other coatings, make sure that the foam and airspaces remain when applying sheets of foam. Polyfoam must fit tightly to the wall. If the quality of the wall leaves much to be desired, it is necessary to produce a hem. To do this, use a brush or sprayer.

Using the needle tattoo roller, we make the surface of the plate of foam of the rough.

Important: Print the insulation is starting from below, for which you install the starting bar. This plank will perform the support function for the first sheets of foam, and will help install them smoothly.

With a spatula, we apply the adhesive mixture on the insulation, after which we press it to the surface of the wall and pressed the palm. You can not use solid things that will damage the foam - only palm. After installing the insulation, check if there is no dents, cracks or damage.

We also continue to insulate all the walls, trying not to leave the gap between the sheets of foam. When the work is completed, it is necessary to use special plastic nails that specialists call the mushroom. Such a mushroom consists of plastic circle and leg-sleeves. Drink a nail in the sleeve, which is desirable to be plastic, it will avoid cold spots.

The fungus is attached thanks to the holes made using the perforator. Holes should be more than size 20 mm fungus. On average, one sheet of foam leaves 5 fungi.

Fungi are located at the joints of the plates, additionally pressing the sheets of foam plates to the wall. Please note that the caps are closer with insulation, and after clogging nails - to the top 1.5-2 mm. If, after insulation, the walls between the sheets remain slots from 5 mm, they must be appropriate.

Subsequent wall decoration

How to make an internal finish after foamfoam? So, you pasted all the sheets of foam on the wall, the joints were stamped and waited for their drying. Next you need to cut off the excess foam and check the wall for the presence of defects.

If some parts of the insulation are repeated, they can be smoothed with a grater. This is especially true of uneven protruding places in the area of \u200b\u200bthe joints.

Use a spatula big sizeAnd apply adhesive mass for the whole wall. Watch the glue to be applied evenly.

Shooting plaster grid To insulation. Since glue dries quickly, in advance the grid is cut in size about 100x100 cm. A large grid can not be safely fixed. After the whole wall is saved by a mesh, you can proceed to applying the leveling layer. The layer should be a thickness of about 3 mm, for this we also use a large spatula. After drying, grout is performed, with the help of which irregularities are removed. The next layer is applied to a special primer and pure layer. About the methods of interior decoration, read.

How to insulate the floor

Polyfoam has long been used for floor insulation, as it consists of millions of small polystyrene balls, inside of which the air is stored. At the same time, it is not afraid of moisture, does not change his properties for a long time, and has a suitable density (PPT 35) to withstand the floor loads.

In this case, the insulation of foam is carried out without special efforts And knowledge, it can be done to anyone - not even a professional.

To begin with, as in the insulation of the walls, it is necessary to prepare the surface under the heat insulation material. To do this, we clean it, close the cracks, insect moves, gaps, holes through which rodents can penetrate the house. Next to the floor, fill a thick film, with which waterproofing will be provided. This layer will avoid water from entering into the insulation. Film with flames of the mustache, which should not be 10 cm, and sample the construction of the film of the film. Modern membrane films not only do not let moisture, but also possess water-repellent properties, while they also return heat into the room.

Foam sheets are placed on the film. It is better to use with profiled edges that help to avoid cold bridges. Ships throw, since the fixation should be reliable slabs. If the sheets are not used, after a while, the sheets will be drowning on each other as the edges, and publish unpleasant sounds. Sometimes to avoid squeaks, it is proposed to intentionally leave the space between the plates in 5 mm, which is after that.

On top of the foam laying another layer of waterproofing, which will help prevent the penetration of water into the floor, if something is spilled on the surface.

Next we carry out metal grid And we are engaged in a rough screed. Cement is applied so as not to damage the film and move the insulation. Its layer should be at least 5 cm. Next, you can make a finishing floor.

If you have been performed in the frame house cement strainer on the soil, insulation foam is made as follows? The cement is placed on the cement, then with the help of dowels, foaming foam and process the foam joints. Useful information on how to make warm floors in a skeleton house, you will get in our article.

Remember: if there is a basement, the floor in the house is better to warm on the side of the basement. In this case, an additional air layer is formed, and the floors will be warmer.

If you perform insulation without basement, do not forget that the surface on which sheets are stacked must be prepared. The screed must be perfectly smooth, for this we use the grid.

Warm external walls and base

Most often, foam plates are used for external insulation at home. Since it is not afraid of moisture, therefore it is preferable to use it instead of mineral wool. As we know, frame wall consists of several layers and her last layer - Plate of OSB.

It is best if the work will be carried out in the warm season, since the frosts worsen the properties of the glue, and the insulation plates will be fastened worse. Foam foams just as fed to the wall. We use a dowel after glued several sheets. They reliably record sheets. And you can be sure that when the life of the glue is over, the sheets will not dug.

For the insulation of the base, we use a foam of 10 cm, since it is the base that the wall is the coldest part of the wall. Base using the reinforcing grid process cement mortar. When the cement is completely dry, you can start exterior decoration. Most often used plaster. If you choose on limestone plaster, it is necessary to add cement grade not lower than 400. We process the wall in two layers without intermediate grout. About the finish of the facade after insulation read.

We do roof warm

Since the roof also needs insulation, it is possible to use foam for it, and PTT 15 is suitable, the most mild and inexpensive. The fact is that there is almost no load on the roof. However, it should be remembered that the tougher and dense foam will last longer.

Polyfoam is suitable for insulation, both inclined pitched roofs and straight. In addition, the foam is not afraid of moisture, nor rotates, does not deteriorate, has high thermal insulation propertiesHe is easy, which is especially important when building a skeleton house. At the same time, foam sheets easily cut, fixed on glue. They have good sound insulation properties, thanks to which, during the rain, the noise from the drops falling on the roof will be minimal.

How does the laying of the insulation?

The whole process can be divided into steps:

1. Laying waterproofing material on rafters.
2. Fastening foam plates between rafters or under them.
3. Grinding seams by mounting foam to eliminate cold bridges.
4. Laying vapor insulation indoors.
5. Finish inland walls And the ceiling of the attic.

Foam plates are usually placed in the space between the rafter, while the laying should be dense, without cracks. To fit the size, the foam is cut with a sharp knife on the line and break down the cut. The sheets are fixed with racks or glue for polystyrene. The attachment of glue can be insufficient, so it makes sense to make the binder from the board. This design should hold plates in several places. The formed emptiness between the plate of foam and other elements are fought.

About how to insulate the skeleton house of mineral wool, read in our article.

Houses built by frame technologyoften used as a cottage or place permanent residence. Such structures are distinguished by a special design, high strength and durability. The insulation of the skeleton house with foam will make life in it more comfortable. Correct installation This heat insulator can be carried out without the help of professional masters.

Specifications

Polyfoam (polystyrene foam) is a heat insulating material that is characterized by excellent physicochemical properties. Available in white plates consisting of polystyrene balls filled with a pure hydrocarbon (pentane).

For the manufacture of such a material, only 2% of polystyrene are used, the remaining 98% - air. In the process of creating foam plastic, Pentan goes into a volatile state and expands. Balls, filling with air, increase in volume. Under the influence of steam, they become elastic and glued together. This is the lightweight material, the scope of which is not only the construction.

Depending on the brand, the density of foam is from 15 to 50 kg / m3. With bending, the border of strength is up to 0.42 MPa. In a dry state at a temperature of +20 ° C to +30 ° C, the thermal conductivity of the foam is not greater than 0.029-0.033 W. Humidity no more than 2%.

Benefits

Polystyrene foam as insulation for walls, floor, roofing is very popular among the owners frame houses. This is due to a number of its advantages compared to the rest of the heat insulating materials:

• moisture resistance (can be used for the insulation of the foundation and base, where there is direct contact with water);
• fire safety (modern foam does not support the combustion process);
• not subject to rotting;
• low cost;
• low weight;
• low thermal conductivity;
• environmental friendliness (in the process of installation and operation does not highlight toxins);
• convenience of mounting.

This thermal insulating material is not afraid of temperature differences. The insulation of foam creates an additional noise insulating layer. Over time, its slabs do not give shrinkage and do not change their geometric parameters.

Thanks to its numerous advantages, this material has been used in the field of construction for more than 40 years. More than 60% of the total polystyrene produced in Europe goes to the insulation of houses.

disadvantages

The foam cannot be contacted with organic solvents (acetone, turpentine), saturated hydrocarbons (alcohol) and petroleum products (kerosene, gasoline and others): under their effect it is damaged or dissolved.

With a long exposure to ultraviolet, the material may begin to collapse, so when stored it is always covered.

Montaja technology

The frame house can be insulated with polystyrene foaming both outside and inside. In any case, the plates are located between the racks and the trim on both sides of the walls. To avoid the formation of cold bridges between foam plates, it is necessary to correctly produce them.

Preparation

At this stage, the framework is carried out. Clean the irregularities of walls sticking nails, wire.

The surface is cleaned of dust and garbage. Clauses and gaps are poured by mounting foam to avoid air from entering them. Wet wood dried construction phenomenon. The entire frame area is ground and give it to dry.

Waterproofing layer

The waterproofing layer is mounted from the outside of the walls: it will protect them from moisture and wind. Of course, the foam - moisture-proof material, but when minus temperatures Dampness and moisture penetrating the inside of the frame, can freeze and destroy the insulation.

Waterproofing material (parchment, polyethylene film Or membrane coating) It is necessary to put on the walls, fix it with nails, sneaking the joints of the scotch. The bands impose a mustache (10 cm in-cm).

Installation of vertical checks and beacons are carried out with cords. Thus, it will be possible to accurately position the plates of polystyrene foam, do not give them to twist.

The insulation is fixed between frame racks with glue. It is mixed in the amount required for 1 hour of work. Glue composition They are damaged in five places of the slab and carefully handle the edges of the insulation. If the pieces of polyfoam do not coincide, they are cut by a heated knife.

Additionally, the heat insulating material is fixed with plastic dowels (5 pieces). You should not use metal fasteners: they will create cold bridges in the insulation. Fastening sites must be primed by adhesive composition.

All the cracks need to close liquid foam or frost-resistant mounting foam.

So that the insulation of the surfaces of the frame house was as efficient as possible, it is necessary to lay the heat insulator in three layers, each 5 cm thick. In this case, the installation of the slabs is carried out in such a way that the subsequent layer overlap the joints of the previous one.

Reinforcement

The reinforcing mesh, fixed on top of the heat insulating material, will help reliably connect the subsequent layer of final finishing with foam. Wall corners need to be strengthened with special angular profiles.

For reinforcement, the grid is selected with the size of the cells of 3 * 6 cm. It is placed on the pectorist (ink in 10 cm), is densely pressed into the insulation plate and fixed the glue layer.

The protection of walls from negative atmospheric effects can be carried out with a putty. It is treated with the surface twice, before applying the second layer, the first must completely dry.

After putty, you can start staining the surface facade paint. This type of work is carried out using a roller. The coloring composition is applied from top to bottom in 2-3 layers. Each subsequent layer is performed after drying the previous one. Paint for facade work dries quickly and easily applied.

The outer walls of the frame house can be decorated with stone or siding. In the latter case, installation of the crate is required. In the case of a frame home of its function, the framework of the framework.

Inner heat insulation

The insulation of the inner walls with expanded polystyrene is carried out in a similar way, only after the installation of the heat insulator is necessary to lay the vapor barrier layer.

After that, reinforcement. Then the surface is plastering or plasterboard. In the future, they can be painted, caught with wallpaper, bold tiles.

Compliance with accuracy and accurate work - Garant quality insulation Frame house with polystyrene foam.

The insulation of foam is one of the simplest and well-known methods of training both for temporary and for permanent residence in country house. Let's try to figure out how to warm the frame house with this inexpensive popular material, and at the same time we will discuss some prejudices against its use, which currently exist in many developers and specialists.

The main characteristics of foam

Frame-panel house - optimal design For the highest quality insulation. Thermal insulation material that is laid between the frame block racks provides maximum protection against freezing internal surface Walls and protects them from destruction. When using foam, except low prices, such important advantagesAs convenient processing, resistance to moisture, simplicity of installation and no shrinkage.

Along with this, you can often meet negative opinions regarding this insulation, which are mainly reduced to the following statements:

• It is eaten mice. In fact, no rodents feed on the foam, they arrange their nests and moves to them. In this sense, the foam is not worse (and not better) other materials;
• He is a fuel. For a skeleton house made of wood, this is not critical. In addition, the production technology of modern foam places implies the addition of special fireproof additives;
• It highlights harmful substances. This serious misconception can be attributed to mineral Wath, the foam from this point of view is absolutely harmless;
• To insulate the foam, the frame-panel house is impossible, since he misses the cold on the joints. With imperative handling it is really so. However, the correct location of the plates inside the walls and their processing in places of compounds will provide a minimum heat loss.

Thus, the effect that can be obtained from the insulation of the walls and other driving parts of the houses, to a large extent depends on the compliance with the rules of treatment of this material and protect it from harmful effects during the entire service life. We will talk about this in the next section. In the meantime, see the video about the properties of foam, which in industry is more often called polystyrene foam, and its peculiarities:

Wall insulation

Most often, the foam in the frame house insulate the surface of the walls between the racks and the trim on both sides. This is done as follows.

Preliminary cleaning and sealing

The insulation of the foam of the frame house always begins with the processing of the carcass itself. If this is not done, then even the most thorough laying heat insulating material It will not help to avoid thermal flow through the aircraft remaining in the joints.

Despite the fact that the technology of insulation of the foam assumes the high speed of processing even large areas as one of its main advantages, preliminary actions must be performed very carefully.

All irregularities, nails and other sticking sharp items need to be removed. Available gaps and cracks are necessarily poured by mounting foam. If at the construction stage, wood was exposed to moisture, raw places are processed by a construction hairdryer.

As a result, the frame must be a dry, smooth and hermetic design, ready to bookmark the insulation.

Waterproofing

The waterproofing layer is stacked with outside The walls and protect them from moisture and wind. Many experts argue that the foam does not absorb moisture at all, so it is possible to insulate the house and without external isolation. However, dampness and humidity that penetrates inside the frame negative temperaturesmay freeze and destroy the material of the insulation and walls.

Usually as waterproofing is used:

• pergamine;
• polyethylene film;
• modern membrane coatings.

The waterproofing material is necessarily laid with a nasal in one row to another (about 10 cm) and are sampled by a special tape.

Laying foaming

The insulation sheets are stacked in the opening between the frame racks and are fixed in it:

To insulate a frame-shield house with maximum quality, it is better to use three layers of foam-thickness with a thickness of 5 cm each, laying them on each other and overlapping the following joints in the previous one. Places of compounding plates inside one layer are necessarily labeled by professional frost-resistant mounting foam.

One of the most important parameters that must be ensured in the insulation of the walls of the foam is the size of the gaps between the plates. The fact is that the insulation of the frame house is expanded and compressed when the temperature is changed from the outside. Correct location The slabs will not allow them to brew when expanding and affect the external trim.

In more detail about laying the insulation during the heat treatment of the walls, you can see the video:

Parosolation and walls

FROM inner Walls paired a vapor insulation film. It protects the insulation layer from excessive moisture due to condensate formation. Most often for these purposes, foil materials (foamphol) or special membrane films are used.

Please note - all seams must be swamped

External trim can be mounted directly by waterproofing. The ventilated facade in the case of insulation foam is not required. Interior decoration It is produced in the same way, if necessary, the pre-plain surfaces use the reinforcing grid.

Floor insulation

In the frame house must be fine. The technology of building a "cake" here is the same: from the bottom of the waterproofing, then the substrate from bars nailed to the edge of the lag, foam and vapor barrier film. As the latter, it is also possible to use a foofol laid in foil. In this position he will protect hand board From dampness and will not let go of warmth from the room.

Insulation of the underpants space

Frame-panel house most often has scope roofunder which is located cold attic. The ceiling and roof is the easiest to insulate, placing the sheets of foam between the beams in the same order as for the insulation of the walls. No less important here is the correct propagation of all joints - warm air Always rises up and seeks to leave out through all sorts of gaps.

The methods of working with foams described by us are irreversible indicate that the insulation of the frame house with their own hands is quite affordable and interesting. We hope that the tips and video will help you make your home warm and cozy and calmly experience the strongest frosts in it.
