The veranda is a comfortable and cozy place for summer holidays. But when warmth goes, the owner has thoughts: why not use the veranda all year round? To do this, it needs to be thermally insulated. How to insulate a veranda? The work is this time-consuming and painstaking, however, not requiring special skills and expensive equipment.

How to warm the veranda for winter accommodation yourself?

The veranda is different from the main premises of the house in the following features:

• light wall structures;
• a large area of \u200b\u200bglazing;
• direct exit to the street;
• unheated base.

Based on this, you should choose technologies and materials for insulation. Special attention should be paid to the constant heating of the premises and the organization of its ventilation. Without it, inevitably increasing humidity, condensate loss and the formation of mold and fungus. Easy wall type limits the thickness of the heat-insulating materials used to 50-100 mm.

Materials for insulation and their characteristics

How and how to insulate a cold veranda? There is a large number of different types and models of insulation materials suitable for thermal insulation veranda. The most popular of them are:

1. Polystyrene foam, or foam. This light material is produced in the form of sheets. It is conveniently mounted both in the crate and a solid layer of jack and has good thermal insulation properties. The disadvantages include fire hazard and tendency to choke. When heated, the foam allocates poisonous gases. Extruded polystyrene foam, known as Penoplex, has greater strength, will not crumble and better keeps heat than foam.
2. Foamed polyethylene, or foam. This elastic material is produced in sheets or rolls. From the side, it is covered with a thin layer of heat transfer foil. Foil reflects warm back to the room. The material is not hygroscopic and does not require additional waterproofing. It can be used as the main insulation or in addition to other materials. The disadvantages include fire hazards and a high price. Used for insulation of floors and ceilings
3. Mineral wool. Affordable and very popular heat insulator. Basalt cotton wool is made of rocks, glass gamble - from glass production waste. Thanks to the fibrous structure, it is well kept warm. Comes in mats or rolls. Mounted in the skeleton frame. It is subject to wetting, as a result of which the thermal insulation properties of the material are significantly reduced. Therefore, the insulation of Minvata requires careful measures for waterproofing and steam room. Mineral wool fireproof, during heating does not highlight any harmful substances. Basalt wool withstands high temperatures, it is used for thermal insulation of furnaces and chimneys. When installing, it allocates dust harmful to health, so installation work should be carried out in dense clothing, protective gloves and in the respirator.
4. Equata. Progressive material is made from paper production, it is a cellulose fiber randomly oriented in space and impregnated with a binder. Impregnation prevents fire and protects against biological threats, such as mold, insects, rodents. Equata is sprayed on walls and other surfaces with special equipment, allowing to process any cavities and hard-to-reach places. The disadvantages include high cost of spraying equipment.

Equata - one of the materials for insulation veranda

Technology insulation veranda from the inside with their own hands

The insulation of the veranda does not require special training of workers and expensive equipment. Operations are quite on the shoulder to the home master, which owns the general construction skills. It is enough to be careful and comply with the requirements of the technology and recommendations of specialists.

Tools and Materials for Work

How to insulate the veranda from the inside? For work it will be necessary:

• insulation;
• vapor insulation membrane;
• firebi-protected impregnation for wooden structures;
• paint tool: brushes, rollers or paint;
• bilateral scotch for steamproofing;
• stapler;
• wooden rails or metal profile for crates;
• self-tapping screw;
• mounted knife;
• construction foam;
• screwdriver;
• measuring tools: roulette, square, level.

When calculating the volume of procured insulation to the area of \u200b\u200binsulated surfaces, add a stock of 5-10%. It will leave on the cut in complex places and on losses during installation. The remainder of the material can be passed into the construction store back if you save the check. If you do not provide for the reserve, then it may not be enough to complete the half of the Muta Minvata or one sheet of polystyrene foam.

Preparatory work

The insulation of the veranda requires quality preparation. During the preparation from the veranda, all furniture and furniture objects should be made. Next dismantle wiring and other communications passing through the room.

Remove the ceiling and wall finish. If there is no access to the base under the veranda, then the sexual disassembly will be required. This work will take several days, it is important to take them into account in the chart.

Wall insulation

Walls are an important part of the insulation of the veranda with their own hands. If the lamp is made of wooden bars, they will be needed to coat with flame-proof impregnation in two layers. Metal-profile guides are more expensive, but provide more accurate installation. They will subsequently fasten the lips of the drops.

Works on the warming of walls are carried out in this order:

• a layer of foam, performing the function of waterproofing and additional insulation;
• two horizontal guides are attached: on the floor and on the ceiling;
• to them, the vertical guides with a pitch of 60 cm are attached to them with self-drawers;
• the acquired insulation must be among the guides without a gap, with some effort, which will allow him to hold better;
• wooden bars are attached to the horizontal guides using steel mounting corners or hammer with spike, metal-profile such amplification is not required;
• between the guides lay the sheets of insulation, laying order: bottom-up;
• it is necessary to ensure that there are no cracks and gaps remain, they should be clogged or bleed by mounting foam;
• after laying the insulation to the guides on bilateral scotch, a vapor barrier membrane is mounted;
• the membrane canvases must have a total of 10-15 cm, the junction is also sampled by a double-sided adhesive tape.

Completes the insulation of the walls fastening the finishing finish: lining, hypina or MDF.

Methods of insulation ceiling

Through the ceiling can leave up to half of heat. This is due to the properties of warm air rise up. Therefore, the ceiling warming is worth paying special attention. In general, the technology is similar to the thermal insulation of the walls. For convenience and speed will have to attract an assistant. Do everything in this order:

• dismantle lighting and wiring;
• remove the ceiling trim;
• fasten the waterproofing membrane on the draft ceiling;
• mount the guide system in a step of 60 cm;
• lay the solar mats between them;
• on top of the guides to secure vaporizolation;
• the joints must have a filament at least 10-15 cm and be punctured by bilateral scotch.

Floor insulation

How to warm the floor on the veranda? After the floor takes up to a quarter of all the heat loss in the room. To warm it with high quality, it should be done as follows:

• earth under the veranda align and fall asleep with a layer of clay;
• fall asleep clamzit layer of sand at 10-15 cm, align and tumble it;
• roll out the plastic or steel reinforcement grid;
• pour cement mortar;
• after drying, lay a layer of waterproofing: rubberoid or modern membrane materials;
• place lags from a bar with a pitch of 60 cm, soaked with flame breeding composition;
• piring between lags Sheets of the Polympoths:
• clauses and joints, if necessary, blend by mounting foam;
• on the lags to be able to use the pistol floor of the tipped board or laminate.

As an option, a layer of plywood or OSB can be elevated, and to put carpet or linoleum on it.

If the veranda is raised above the ground, then another way of insulation of the floor on the terrace is possible - from the bottom.

Polympoth sheets are mounted on black floors with adhesive composition and plate dowels. Special attention should be paid to the places of flooring to the walls so that the so-called "cold bridges" is not formed there. These are dismissed joints through which heat will go. The method of insulation below is less effective, but it does not require dismantling the first floor.

Warm windows

The insulation of the veranda from the inside is impossible without insulation of windows and doors. How to insulate the windows of the veranda? The most reliable winter insulation method is the replacement of windows on metal-plastic glass windows. This will ensure reliably insulate the veranda and significantly reduce the cost of its heating.

If it does not work for any reason, the usual windows should be exposed to step by step reconstruction:

• insulate the gap between the window frame and the opening in the wall using the mounting foam;
• remove the glasses, clean the frame from the old smear;
• sharpen all available slots;
• degrease the frame and apply silicone sealant along the contour;
• insert the glass into place, press it with a stroke and remove spoken excess sealant;
• using transparent bilateral adhesion to stick to the glass energy-saving polymer film;
• warm the trench with a hairdryer for better fit;
• cake windows of windows around the perimeter by sealing polymer profile of a suitable height.

You can use traditional methods of insulation: take the windows for the winter strips of paper on the soap solution and lay inside the rollers from the cotton.

Similar methods insulate the entrance door. Special attention needs to be able to pair the door frame with the door opening of the wall.

Nuances of roof insulation

The quality insulation of the roof of the veranda is possible only at the construction stage or by full disassembly. Due to the small bias of the roof and the extremely cramped space laying of ordinary insulation materials is difficult.

Modern technologies can come to the rescue. If the roof waterproofing is performed at the construction stage, then two or three small holes in the ceiling will be enough to spray eco-water to the roof through them or polyurethane foam. These materials are penetrated into the farthest corners of the undercase and warmly warm it.

If it is possible to disassemble the roof, you can use less expensive ways and traditional materials.

Mineral wool is laid between the rafted, the waterproofing layer is spread over it on top of it. Foam plastics are often used. After that, you can return the main crate and roof.

From the bottom side, the rafter will have to arrange a counterclaim so that the thermal insulation does not fall down.

It is extremely important to carefully fulfill all the requirements for the organization of ventilation of the subcoase.

The veranda in a wooden house, usually perform a number of functions. It is a vestibule in front of the entrance to the house, and the place of placement of summer kitchen, and the warehouse of the gifts obtained from the garden or the garden and temporarily stored or processed for the winter. Sometimes the veranda can perform the function of the greenhouse, where the seedlings are growing in the spring. Therefore, many think about how the veranda is most simple and cheap as much as possible so that it serves as much as possible to the needs of the owners of the house and in the spring, and in the fall, when there were minus temperatures on the street.

As a rule, the veranda lies to the house have a fairly large area, not comparable to a balcony or loggia of an urban apartment. Also distinguishing property The veranda is a large area of \u200b\u200bwindows.

These factors make it necessary to approach work on insulation with their own hands with full responsibility and try to achieve the maximum effect on making the placing the veranda of heat-saving properties.

Selection of material for insulation

The choice of insulation that will be used when working is one of the main points that will continue to determine the order of work. Since in most cases, verandas in the house have a frame basis, covered in one or two layers of boards, then a pair and breathable insulation (mineral wool) will be used as the insulation.

The following choice is due to the fact that insulation based on polyurethane foam (foam, penplex) are practically airtight materials.

And, despite the fact that it is easier to work with them than with mineral wool, and the foam is also cheap, to use them for the insulation of wooden structures is not recommended. A condensate will be formed between the layer of foam or inferno and the wooden surface, which will lead to quick damage and rotting wood.

In addition, the other materials are sufficiently flammable, and when combustion, deadly dioxin is distinguished. The only possible application of these insulation is the outer insulation of the walls of the veranda with the installation of the insulation on the crate, allowing you to freely circulate air between the insulation plates and a wooden veranda wall.

But the effectiveness of such insulation will be significantly lower than the use of a mineral watery insulation in a complex with foil insulation (foamphol or isolon) when the veranda is inside the veranda.

Order of preparatory work

If the insulation of the veranda in the house is carried out in the construction process, then no preparatory work is required. Simply, in front of the insulated veranda under the insulated veranda, the layer of the selected insulation according to the technology is placed on the insulated side of the room, and the top is closed with drywall, plywood, plastic panels or "clapboard" - to whom more than taste.

But, if the problem of insulation of the veranda arose already in the built house, when the veranda was in operation, you will have to do a considerable amount of work on preparing it for insulation.

Warming the veranda from the inside is advisable to start with the ceiling of the room. Since the veranda usually has a flat roof and put between it and the ceiling layer of the insulation is impossible on the missing attic, all work will have to lead only from the inside of the room, as well as on the balcony. For this, the ceiling coating is dismantled. The exposed crate is mounted, when driving a construction stapler, a steamer film (membrane with one-sided permeability) throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof with a release around the perimeter of 15-20 cm free hanging film. The locations of the docking of the film was glued with scotch.

If the insulation is carried out with mild mats of mineral wool, then in the beams of overlapping, small nails are driven into chess order, leaving 10-15 mm not clogged. Work will have to work with an assistant. One will hold the mineral watel mat, and the second "send" it to the ceiling using the clogged nails and the Kapron cord. You can use the pre-prepared thin stripes of the Fiberboard to help lock the plates on the ceiling. After fixing mats on the ceiling Nails do not forget to finish!

The second stage is the laying of the foil insulation (foam, isolon) foil at the premises. Fix it better by a combination way: on glue and stapler brackets. Penofol is a very lightweight material, so it is not necessary to fix it just as reliable as mineral wool. The places of joints of the sheets of foams are sampled with foil scotch.

After laying foam on the ceiling, the main coating is mounted - plasterboard or any other material.

Wall insulation

Wall insulation from the inside is made in the same sequence as the ceiling insulation. The only difference is the thickness of the insulation. If the ceiling is rarely used by mineral plates or polystyolster with a thickness of more than 50 mm, then for the walls you can use a thickness of up to 100 mm.

Installation of the insulation on the walls is much simpler and can already be performed by one person. Starting the insulation should begin from below, and if the wall area is large - try to put it in a checker order, so that the joints between the insulation plates did not go through the entire wall.

After completing the installation of the insulation on the walls, they are also covered with the main decorative material. On the verandas, it is usually used wooden "lining" or MDF slab. They are perfectly "breathing" therefore on the veranda is usually fresh and cool.

Floor insulation

As a rule, the final stage of work on the insulation of the veranda from within, requiring a large amount of work and time is the insulation of the floor.

You can warm as a space under the existing floor by filling it with its grainsite of the middle fraction, and the directly existing draft floor. The first method requires full removal of flooring and labor-intensive work on the backfill of the ceramzitogravy throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe veranda.

In the second case, insulation can be performed according to the existing wooden floor by laying on top of the insulation layer.

If this is mineral wool - it will be necessary to equip the crate over the existing floor, while the thickness of the bar must be equal to the thickness of the insulation. The distance between the lags of the crates is made by 2-5 cm. Less than the width of the insulation, so that the mats of mineral wool are in the crate tightly, with some effort.

After that, the layer of foam and, as the final stage, the floor is laid.

If insulation is conducted by plates of fasteners, it is not required to arrange the furnace. It directly stacked on the existing wooden floor. The vaporonic film is necessarily placed under it. Fixed either by dowels - "fungi" or T-shaped brackets.

On top of the polystrance, it is also possible to lay a layer of foam foil inside the room. On top of such a coating, you can immediately lay any outdoor material: linoleum, laminate, parquet, boardy floor.

Warming up windows veranda

Usually, verandas or terraces are not intended for use in winter, so the glazing is most often single. It is under any efforts to insulate the ceiling, walls and floor veranda is not able to maintain heat, since more than 70% leaves it through the windows. If you consider it expedient to install plastic windows on the veranda at least with double glazing, heat will be better preserved.

But even if you do not plan to change the frames with single glazing on your veranda, you can slightly reduce heat loss by using heat-saving films. They can only be used in the winter period (from October to March), but in the autumn-spring season they can, to some extent, smooth out the temperature differences on the street and in the veranda room.

The heat-saving film is mounted on double-sided adhesion pastened over the perimeter of the veranda frame and after sticking is processed by hot air from the household hair dryer.

Due to the ability to reflect up to 30% of infrared radiation, seeking to leave the room, it is almost equivalent to second glazing.

The insulation of the veranda from the inside has one significant drawback. As a result of the work carried out, the "dew point" is shifted from the outer surface of the walls, where the moisture evaporates unhindered, on the inner surface of the material, which is trimmed by a veranda. If it is wood, then she will quickly start rotting and affecting mold.

Therefore, to warm the veranda is better outside. In this case, the dew point theoretically should move to the insulation and the walls will serve longer.

conclusions

Veranda, like terraces or balconies - rooms intended for use in the summer. Any work on their insulation is quite laborious and ineffective without organizing constant heating in the cold season. And this requires a large amount of electricity or fuel, which is heated by private houses. Therefore, before heating the veranda with their own hands, think! Without the extreme need to start such work, it is hardly worth it. This has these utility premises their functional features to be used for their intended purpose, and not as an additional residential area in the house.

Almost any home has an extension in the form of a veranda, where you can spend a good summer evening.

It is usually built of wood, so for the winter season it is already becoming unsuitable. But there is a way out - insulation of the veranda from the inside with their own hands.

Scheme of veranda.

The terrace is an outdoor area, so it is usually not insulated.

For insulation, the veranda must be stockpur with the following materials and tools:

• insulation. You can use foam, mineral wool or some other;
• foam. The thickness of the foam sheets depends on the natural conditions of the terrain, as well as the dimensions of the veranda;
• 50x50 mm bruises;
• polyethylene or foil;
• mounting foam;
• construction scotch and paint;
• the tools will need scissors, spatula, knife, nails, hammer, screws, roulette and brushes.

Floor insulation veranda

Begin the insulation of the veranda is better from the floor.

Floor boards in wooden houses are usually attached to lags laid on the ground. To insulate the floor, you must first release it from the boards. Next, between the lags it is necessary to lay wooden bars with a size of 50x50 mm and fasten them with screws. Between the bars, the insulation is stacked.

Materials from foam or mineral wool are better fit as insulation.

It is important to fully fill the space insulation. Foam sheets are easily adjusted for any lag size, as it is easy to cut with a knife. To protect the mineral wool, it is necessary to isolate it from excessive moisture using polyethylene or foil. Empty places are launched a special mounting foam.

The height of the insulation should be slightly lower than the floor level for ensuring ventilation, which will protect the floor elements from rotting and wetting. At the end of the insulation, a polyethylene film is tensioned, fixed on the edges of metallized tape. Now the floor is laid out.

Wall insulation and ceiling veranda

An option of insulation of walls from the inside.

If the veranda is inside the house, then only the outer walls are needed, the walls that come into contact with the inner rooms do not need to be insulated.

Before heating the walls from the inside, they should be covered with waterproof material. Polyethylene or foil glue with horizontal stripes.

Warm the veranda for winter accommodation with your own hands

The resulting joints are closed with scotch, so that there are no air emptiness. In accordance with the sizes of the insulation slabs, bars are stuffed onto the wall.

The space between the bars is filled with insulation in the form of mineral wool, the foam is glued with special glue to the wall. The easiest way of insulation is polyurethane foam, liquid foam.

It has good protection from the cold and a long service life, well fills all empties, forming a smooth coating. The plates from the insulation must be wrapped with foamed polyethylene. When using the heat transfer material, it must be located in the metal surface inside. Heated walls inside, it is possible to close the design with a finishing material, clapboard or something like that.

In order for the room to be really warm, it is necessary to insulate the ceiling.

If warm air, climbing up, will not meet a good barrier, he will leave the room. When insulation, the ceiling will be preserved heat that comes. The ceiling is insulated similarly to the walls. The insulation must be isolated from moisture, then fill the wooden planks with which the insulation is fixed. To fill emptiness, a special mounting foam is used, and for the ceiling finishing - lining or other finishing material.

If the veranda mainly consists of window frames, then it is better to use triple frames, since a lot of heat is lost through the windows.

To ensure fire safety as a insulation, you need to use non-combustible materials, such as mineral wool. For greater effect, the external walls can be insulated. With this insulation, you can protect the walls from atmospheric precipitation, thereby you can increase their service life.

Thus, any homeowner will be able to correct the insulation of the veranda with their own hands, the main thing is to prepare all the materials in advance and decide on the front of the work.

If you want to expand the useful area in a country house and use it in winter, it's time to learn how to insulate a cold veranda. This procedure will also be superfluous to form in this room more favorable for the structure of the microclimate. Otherwise, it will be wrapped, cooled, and as a result will be unusable. With a competent approach to the case, it is better to warm the verandun on the construction stage, but it is not always possible or for economic considerations, or on functional.

Each element of the design (floor, ceiling and walls) has its own characteristics of insulation.

When is it better to warm the veranda?

It should be immediately noted that competently solving the problem how to insulate the veranda for winter accommodation, and creating a kind of thermos from it, you can significantly reduce the cost of heating.

This factor will be relevant for baths. There are two fundamentally different options, how to insulate a cold veranda for a residential room: outside and from the inside. If you can, it is better to use an outdoor option.

The event is better to spend in the warm season, since there are materials that can only be used with positive air temperature. That is, solving than and how to insulate the veranda at home outside, you need to focus on season and weather.

If the windows are negative temperatures, then it is worth considering the option how to properly insulate the veranda from the inside. The event can be carried out at the construction stage of your country house. But you can solve the problem how to insulate the veranda with your own hands in the process of living.

The overwhelming majority of additional rooms of country houses are built from wood. Therefore, it is worth noting that the principal difference, how to insulate the veranda from the boards or a wooden veranda from the inside - no.

Approximately, with amendment to the building material, the warm-up arrangement is carried out and in buildings from concrete, gasoblocks, bricks, and so on.

Warm the veranda stages

Warming a veranda, you should adhere to the following sequence:

• roof;
• walls;
• ceiling;
• window;
• doors.

How to insulate the roof of the veranda

To solve the task as correct as possible, how to insulate the veranda in a wooden house, you should first explore the roof design.

If it is a continuation of the capital roof of the house, you do not need to touch it. If this element is a simple overlap, then it is necessary to solve the task how to insulate the roof of the veranda.

1. First, careful sealing of the structure is carried out.
2. Next, lay the thick layer of the insulation material.

   The optimal option for work will be folgize. It will allow the procedure quickly and with minor labor costs.

3. Do not forget about the vaporizolytor, so that the roof is not raw.

Warring this element of the building should be taken care of the reliability of the construction of the structure, since it is difficult to access.

Only after work with the roof can be moved to the insulation of the veranda as a whole.

How to insulate the walls of the veranda?

To properly solve the task, how to insulate the summer veranda, you need to start from the walls.

It is advisable, since these structural elements will require less effort from the master. Choosing technology, how to insulate the walls of the veranda, it is better to stay on the framework method. Practice shows that the insulation design is obtained more reliable than using the method of gluing the material. As a insulation material, mineral wool, foam, polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam can be used. The main goal in the question, how to insulate the walls of the veranda from the inside or outside is to buy cold access to the room.

1. The frame method insulation involves the use of a bar, its thickness should be equal to the thickness of the insulation.

   Before you insulate the veranda in a private house, wood is better to treat impregnation in order to avoid the appearance of mold and fungi. Brous is assembled using self-self-screws. Bicycle design.

   The sizes of cells should be equal to the size of the plates of the material.

2. Now you can proceed to the installation of the insulation. Plates are laid in the cells of the versus with the frame, without cracks and gaps.
3. After mounting the insulation material on top of the design, you must lay a vapor polypoletor with an adhesive cloth of 10 cm. It is fastened with a stapler and bracket. The joints are better to skill with scotch. Parosolytor will protect the insulation from dampness.

   This is a very important point in the question, how to warm the veranda correctly.

4. Next, you can sow a design with any hotelock material: lining, plasterboard, MDF plates or PVC panels. After the walls are ready, you can move to work with the ceiling.

How to insulate the ceiling veranda?

Everyone knows that warm air rises up and forms an air pad at the ceiling.

But its presence does not interfere with the cold air to penetrate the room through cracks and gaps. Therefore, it is better to solve the task how to warm the ceiling on the veranda on a par with other elements of the structure. It seems to many that these works are quite complex, but it is not.

The main thing is to initially select the technology: outside or from the inside.

The insulation material will depend on the elected technique:

• Outdoor work.

  If you decide to warm the ceiling outside - on the floor of the attic, then it is better to choose the framework of those noology and insulation in the plates, for example, foam. Do not forget to lay a vapor insulator over the design. An attic insulation is more often used during the construction of the house, but it can be realized and later.

  The advantage of ceiling insulation outside is that it does not reduce the volume of the internal space.

• Internal work. But with the task, how to insulate the ceiling on the veranda from the inside using the framework technology, the difficulties arise. If the bars are attached to the surface of screws and do not interfere with the continuation of the work, then the insulation in the stoves will simply fall out of the cells under the weight of its own weight. It is recommended to immediately fix the vapor insulator. Immediately upon completion of the installation, install facing material. You can also establish an already mounted insulation design.

  Works will be fundamentally simplified if folgoosisol will be used for thermal insulation. Now you can go to the insulation of the lower element of the structure - the floor.

How to insulate the floor of the veranda?

Before you independently insulate the wooden floor on the verandas, it is worth opening the floor covering and study the design - whether there are lags in it and you can use them.

With a positive response, the procedure can be carried out using insulating material in the stoves.

1. Otherwise, you will have to put lags over the existing surface.
2. Then filling the cells with the insulation material, like working with walls.
3. And completing the work of the laying of the vaporizolator.
4. After laying the heat-insulating structure, it is possible to lay a solid base for flooring, for example, OSB plates.

   All seams are better to seal the sealants.

If you want to simplify the task, you should wonder how to properly insulate the wooden floor of the veranda with folozole.

This is a technological material, it allows you to work with structures of any geometric forms. Folozole can be insulated with structures from any materials.

How to insulate windows

The main heat losses in any room occur through doors and windows.

Therefore, solving the task, how to insulate the veranda with its own hands with a foam or other material, these goals should pay special attention to:

• The best type of insulation will install PVC windows. You can install single double glazing, but it will significantly reduce the temperature balance in the room. The more glazing volumes, the lower the heat-saving indicators.

• Therefore, it is better not to save, but immediately insert a double or triple glass.
• It is necessary to carefully control the density of the adjoining of these elements. Double-glazed windows, as a rule, are fought, in some cases it is possible to put the band insulation.
• But PVC glazing is a very costly event. If you want to save, you can add the second one to the existing frame. So they did our ancestors before the onset of winter. In this case, the cracks are filled with foam rubber or other soft material, and the special tape is sampled on top.

How to insulate the doors

In this case, the optimal option will be the installation of a modern entrance door.

How to insulate the veranda from the inside and outside the winter? Warm cold veranda

It is originally designed to hold heat indoors:

• Companies producing and installing metal entrance doors in their directory, as a rule, have several models intended for installation in a private house.
• If you want to avoid additional spending, the design must be inspired by yourself. For example, it can be attached to felt or an old stuffing blanket.
• It is better to cover the design, both with external and on the inside.
• In order for the door to look aesthetically, a substitute for the skin, a log and other materials is mounted on top of the insulation.
• On the perimeter of the door it is necessary to install self-adhesive seals from rubber.
• If you want to drastically solve the question of how to insulate the summer veranda - put the second inner, this will appear the additional air layer.
• After completing the work, you can start finishing the room and further use it in winter.

Summarize

The veranda requires constant care, as well, and the house itself.

Warring this room, you not only expand the useful space for use in the cold season, but also save yourself from regular finishing and protective impregnation of structural elements. It is better to carry out insulation already at the construction stage. Take advantage of our unique offer, and you will get a functional and comfortable countryside at a favorable value.

← Back to all articles

Under the conditions of the harsh climate, the hosts every way try to insulate a house or a cottage. For example, to protect the entrance door put a veranda. This is a kind of tambour where the mixing of cold street air and warm, from interior premises occurs. But, insteading a house, they do not always take into account that the veranda does not prevent additional insulation. Otherwise, the unheated premises will be wrapped and cheat, why the finish will quickly come into disrepair. With a competent approach, the veranda is insulated at the construction stage. But it happens that the house did not build, but bought, and not at the best. In this case, the insulation of the veranda from the inside is carried out with their own hands as needed. The main thing is to know, in what places the cold "crashes" to the room, and take all sorts of protection measures.

Usually, the veranda is put on the same type of foundation as the main building is a monolithic concrete or concrete slabs. This material absolutely does not block the cold, which goes in winter from the ground, therefore it is able to freeze through. Heat loss through the foundation reaches 20%.

Options, how to insulate the base of the summer veranda may be somewhat.

Failure of the inner space of the earth or clay

These options are possible only at the construction stage of the veranda when foundation works are underway. After removing the formwork, the entire inner platform is falling asleep or clay. The land will cost cheap, especially if there are a lot of excess soil during construction. True, its quality heat maintenance is low.

Ceramzit layer does not give moisture and frost to lower in the concrete slab

Ceramzite has thermal insulation above, but it will have to be bought. You can make a double layer: first fall asleep soil, and the second half is clay pebbles.

Casting polystyrene foam

For Russian lands, where 80% of soils are bubbling, it is necessary to external insulation of the foundation of polystyrene foam. When thawing and freezing, such soils are expanded in the amount and can deform the foundation. The insulation layer will become an insulator that will save the base from direct contact with the ground, and also put the blockade of frost. The polystyrene foam plates are covered with the entire outer surface of concrete, including the base.

For insulation, the veranda is suitable with their own hands: foam, extruded polystyrene foam and liquid polyurethane foam. All these are varieties of polystyrene, which are distinguished by the properties and method of applying. The cheapest - Styrofoam. It holds well warm, but on movable soils will give cracks. In addition, the foam pulls from the ground moisture, so when it is installed, an additional waterproofing layer is created (from the soil). Extruded expanded polystyrene foam Due to the dense structure of moisture, it does not eat, it is not afraid of the grounds of the soil, has a high frost resistance and serves more than half a century. But it is expensive.

Before gluing polystyrene foaming, it is necessary to smell the whole foundation with waterproofing mastic

Both variants of polystyrene laid from the outside of the foundation, excavating it to the very foundation. At the same time, the first row put on the gravel benchmark. Before laying the foundation, the foundation is labeled with bitumenopolymer mastic (for waterproofing), and when he dried - the plates of polystyrene foam plates. The glue must be polyurethane. It is applied by points or lubricating the entire sheet. The junctions between the plates also take on the glue so that there are no bridges of the cold and the gaps for the penetration of moisture.

The newest way of external insulation - polyurethane foam spraying. It is brought to a construction site in the form of liquid components and special equipment are torn to the foundation. After hardened, the coating becomes dense, monolithic and very durable. According to the characteristics, this material is not inferior to the extruded "fellow", but the cost of work is more expensive.

When sprayed insulation, the best quality of thermal insulation, because there are no joints

So that no legs were floating: float insulation

In addition to the foundation, the floor is closer to the ground. His insulation is mandatory if you do not want to see black stains in the corners.

Most often on the verandas are poured concrete floors. If it is planned to heat the veranda with the help of the "Warm floor" system, then it should be taken care of the pouring of draft floors. It is better to choose the electrical system that you will include as needed. Water floors can freeze at very low temperatures, and it will have to wait for spring so that it relieves, or dismantle the coating for heating pipes.

If the old tile lay on the veranda, then you can put the insulation right on it

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

1. The entire subfields fall asleep with rubble, and on top - sand and tightly tamper.
2. The reinforcement rods or the grid lay out (so that the concrete is not burned) and make a concrete screed of 5 cm thick.
3. When the pouring is accelerated, we create waterproofing. The easiest way to lift the screed with water-repellent mastic. But cheaper - to lay the frontiers of the runneroid and make them together with the help of bitumen mastic (or warm the burner and roll).
4. Over the waterproofing, the lags impregnated with antiseptic are mounted, and between them lay the insulation. The most optimal option is a mineral wool with a folgizirovanie. The foil does not produce infrared radiation from the veranda, together with which most heat disappears. Solar rolls are put after all lags are installed.
5. You can be insulated with polystyrene foam. Then the junctions between the plates should be bleed by mounting foam, and when it dries - excess to cut.

After that, board the boards or Decong, because both materials are warm. The board must be treated in every way from rotting and paint the protective composition. In addition, natural wood is very afraid of poor ventilation. To avoid dampness, it is necessary to make ventilation outlines in the foundation, which should be located below the floor level.

Insulation put foil up so that it reflects heat back to the veranda

Decing does not require ventilation underground, because it is not afraid of dampness and temperature drops

Deoping is also a board, but already treated with the compositions at the factory. It is made from larch, who is not terributed, nor moisture. Such material lifted the open terraces, so that the veranda is all the more suitable. True, the cost of such sex will no longer.

We put thermal protection for the walls

The walls have a large square of contact with the street, so consider how to insulate the veranda with their own hands outside and inside. Outside, insulation is made in the event that the material of the walls looks unprepacently. Those. These may be blocks, old wood, etc.

Outdoor insulation

a) for wooden walls:

1. Close up all the cracks in the construction.
2. Put the vertical crate of bars with a step to half a meter. It is better to measure the width of the insulation and fill in exactly its size. Then all the plates will plunge tightly to the crate.
3. Between the bars insert mineral wool, fastening the dowel-umbrellas.
4. On top by fixing the stapler waterproofing film.
5. Separate with clapboard or siding.

After laying Minvati, it is necessary to attach the waterproofing film to the crate

b) for block walls:

1. We glue the polystyrene foam slabs with a special adhesive composition, additionally strengthening dowel-umbrellas.
2. We wist the same glue on the top of the plates and fix the reinforcing grid on them.
3. After drying, we cover the wall with decorative plaster.
4. Pray.

Select the glue composition specifically for laying polystyrene foam plates

All layers of insulating cake are hiding under decorative plaster

Heat from the inside

If outside the veranda looks aesthetic, and you do not want to change its appearance, you can spend internal insulation. But, before heating the veranda from the inside, it is necessary to thoroughly legitture all the gaps (in a wooden building).

Proceedings:

1. Cock the crate.
2. Fix the stapler waterproofing film that does not allow moisture from the street into the insulation.
3. Metal framework from profiles, to which plasterboard will be secured.
4. Fill the frame of mineral wool.
5. Cover the insulation with a vapor insulation film.
6. Mount plasterboard.
7. Apply the finish coating (spit, paint).

The distance between metal products should coincide with the width of the insulation sheets

Check the tightness of the installation of windows, doors

Large heat loss can go from the windows and doors. If your veranda has old wooden windows, but you do not want to change them into double-glazed windows, then it is necessary to thoroughly check their tightness:

• First of all, we draw attention to the quality of the glazing of the veranda: for this they pull each stroke.
• If they were cracking or rolled, it is better to remove all the glasses, clean the grooves and misoap them with silicone sealant.
• Then we insert the glass back and apply the sealant along the edge.
• Cress the strokes (new!).

Come to the usual metal line in the fields of the frame and window opening. If in some places it passes freely, it means that these slots must be sealing by mounting foam. For sure, check the front door. If you bought a waved option, you will have to warm the cloth from the inside and hide the dermatitin.

Fixing the glasses on both sides by sealant, you will make them impermeable for wind

All places where the line is freely moving, you need to fit

We exclude a leakage of warm air through the ceiling

It remains to figure out how to insulate the ceiling, because through it from a wooden veranda a considerable part of the heat is destroyed. Especially if the front door opens. The ingestion of cold air is instantly squeezed up warm.

The best option is to lay out a foolized foamed polymer between the beams, which will simultaneously keep warm and misses moisture.

You can choose mineral wool, but then the first layer is put a rubberoid for vaporizolation, and on it - the plates of the insulation.

Under mineral wool Stell rubberoid for waterproofing

After so careful insulation, your veranda will withstand any frosts, even if it is unheard.

The composition of the family and the needs of its members change over time, and it is not always possible to take into account during the construction of the house. At some point he may be a little: there is a need for an extra bedroom, office or bathroom. You can solve this problem with "low blood", if you know how to insulate the veranda, turning it into the same warm and cozy room as the rest of the rooms in the house. To do this, you need to choose the right materials and create a warm cocoon inside or outside the extension depending on its design.

Definition of work

To decide how to insulate an extension to the house with your own hands, you need to appreciate its design, material of the walls, sizes, ceiling height and other features:

• If the area of \u200b\u200bthe room is small and I want to save, you have to isolate the walls outside. The same applies to the floor and the ceiling, when when insulation, from the inside, the distance between them decreases to unacceptable.
• Isolate floors outside are not always possible without dismantling the existing coating. It happens when the flooring is located low above the ground and it is impossible to get to it.
• The same applies to the ceiling: if the veranda and house have a common roof, with insulation from the side of the attic no problems arise. If the bus is closed with one slope with a small slope, you will have to either dismantle the roofing material, or install the insulation from the inside.
• Most of the heat leaves through the doors and windows, the insulation of which in the premises initially intended for seasonal use is not paying due attention. Most often it is windows with one glass and light doors. It is necessary to decide, replace them or insulate.

• The entrance directly from the street is the open gate for frosty air, has time to play a room in seconds. Therefore, it is necessary to think about the tambour device, which can be done, exhausting a part of the veranda with a warm partition or attaching an input group to it.
• The method of heating should also be considered before the start of thermal insulation work. If heating is selected through the "Warm floor" system, the gender insulation technology should take into account the features of the installation of such a system.

Tip! If you do not live in the house constantly, then you should not mount the water system of heating - it can freeze and fail in your absence. It is better to prefer the electric warm floor.

• Material of walls is of great importance. Parotransmitted materials, such as a tree or foam concrete, are not happy with the insulation, otherwise moisture will accumulate between them, gradually destroy the supporting structures and leading to serious disorders of the microclimate indoors up to the occurrence of mold and fungus.

As for how to insulate the terrace in a wooden house with their own hands, here it is more about complete restructuring or completion. Especially if it is an open extension without a canopy and raised above the ground level. Sometimes this task is even easier, since it does not require dismantling of existing overlaps, old windows, etc.

In general, to transform the veranda in the residential premises, a comprehensive insulation of all structures is required other than the common wall house.

Selection of insulation

In structure, all heat-insulating materials can be divided into 3 types.

Cellular

Such insulation are produced from polymers, which are attached to a special structure in the form of a set of air filled with air closed. They are produced in the form of rigid panels, rolled materials and foams, frozen after applying on a warmed surface.

Note!Since the basis of such insulation makes up synthetic chemical components that allocate toxic substances (phenol, styrene, etc.) when heating or burning), they are recommended to additionally protect them from fire.

To this type of insulation belongs:

• polyfoam and polystyrene foam, including extruded. These materials have a very low thermal conductivity coefficient, no moisture is afraid, so they do not need isolation from it. Produced in the form of rigid plates that can be mounted in a frameless method. The polystyrene foam is also available in granules that fall asleep into the space between the walls of the frame or brickwork, add to cement plaster solutions. The disadvantages of this insulation include countertility and high toxicity during combustion. To the merits - low cost and ease of installation, which can be the main argument when it is necessary to decide how to insulate the veranda in a private house is cheaply cheap;
• polyurethane foam is a rather expensive insulation. Used in two ways: installation of plates and spraying with special equipment. The second method is more efficient, as it allows you to create a monolithic seamless heat insulating layer without cold bridges;

• foamed polyethylene or foam - a comfortable rolled material for additional insulation. There are varieties, with one or both sides coated with foil to reflect the emitted heat. Penofol in the form of a narrow tape with self-adhesive layer can be insulated windows, attic hatches and other openings, overlapping the slots between the wall and the frame.

Fibrous

With its structure, such insulation resemble indiscriminate wool or cotton wool, hence the name is mineral wool. Raw materials for its production serve various minerals and waste from ore smelting - slags. Therefore, the following types of these heat insulators distinguish:

• basalt wool;
• glass gaming;
• slag.

Solid raw materials as a result of special treatment turns into fibers. Thanks to its mineral origin, these materials are not lit, but due to the fibrous structure it is easily absorbed by moisture, losing thermal insulation properties. For this reason, we need mandatory hydro and vaporizolation.

If you need to decide how to insulate the veranda for winter accommodation in a wooden house, the mineral wool will be the best choice, as it permeates for the steam and does not create an irresistible barrier to access it through the walls outside.

Available in mats and rolls of varying degrees of density. For insulation of horizontal surfaces, you can use any material, and the vertical is better to mount dense stoves, as they are less susceptible to the shrinkage and "slipping" down under their own weight.

On the advantages and minuses of cellular and fibrous insulation will tell video:

Bulk

Running perlite and vermiculitis, clamzite granules - these and other heat-insulating backfills can be used when the question arises how to insulate the floor on the veranda or the ceiling on the side of the attic. Such bulk materials are convenient because they create a solid layer, their particles fall into all the gaps and overlap them. They are cheaper than fibrous mats, especially if you consider that it is not necessary to mount the frame for their laying.

Which side will warm

The answer to this question depends primarily on the material of the veranda walls and the type of insulation. In any case, the outer insulation is more efficient: while the dew point in which the condensate is formed when a warm and cold air is formed, does not reach the walls and does not cause their wetting with all the negative consequences arising from this.

Video Description

In the next video, it is available and clearly explained why it is better to insulate the heated room outside:

But if you want to know how to insulate the veranda for winter accommodation from the inside with your own hands, then do it without the risk of high humidity in the room, only if its walls are lined with frameworks. The tree easily evaporates moisture. With brick and block supporting structures, it is better not to do.

Warming technology

Since it is easier to warm an extension to the house from the inside - it is possible to work in any weather - then this method is used in all its disadvantages. Another reason for this choice is often associated with the fact that the outer walls are already decorated with the same facade material as the whole house, and I do not want to spoil the exterior.

Large difference in how to fix the insulation - from the inside or outside, no. Serious differences are only in the technologies of thermal insulation of different structural elements.

Walls

The method of installation of the insulation is chosen taking into account its type and subsequent finishes:

• If the internal or exterior walls are planned to plaster, then it is possible to do this only by polystyrene foam and minvat with a density of at least 130 kg / m3. They stick to the surface or mounted on the jack of umbrella dowels with a large hat.

• It is quite different, the question is solved, how to insulate the veranda for winter accommodation with trim walls with facing panels. For their attachment, it is necessary to mount the crate, and the distance between adjacent guides must correspond to the width of the roll or slab heat insulator. If it is a non-fatty material, it is covered with a breathable film for isolation from penetrating a wet pair from the side of the room and sediments from the street. Between the insulation and cladding, leave the ventilation gap, for which additional rails are stuffed into the crate.

Floors

If the height of the room allows or not of another method, the existing flooring is used as a draft floor. Most often it laid on the lags of the board. They attack the bar by analogy with the framework for the walls. But it must have a sufficient cross section to withstand loads. There are insulation between new lags, covered with waterproofing and satisfy finishing flooring.

If the base is concrete, one of the options for insulation can be a screed with a clamzite or a warm floor-filled concrete tie. This method is especially relevant when you need to decide how to insulate the veranda and make a bathroom or kitchen there, licking the floors with tiles.

When there is access to the floor, the insulation can be fixed under the existing flooring, creating the same insulating cake protected from moisture.

Tip!The floors will be much warmer if you also insulate the foundation of the extension.

If the distance from the floor to the ground is completely small, you can remove the flooring, pour the cavity to the clay and re-lay it in place.

Ceiling

The easiest way to insulate the overlap to which there is access to the attic. If it is not, then to preserve the height of the room remove the roof and mounted thermal insulation.

Note! The underlined insulation must be securely isolate from water in case of sediment penetration.

When the ceiling height allows it to decrease, the insulation is fixed according to the already described scheme, like on the walls.

Windows and doors

The perfect way to eliminate heat loss through the openings is the installation of double or triple glass and a warmed inlet door. If there is no money for this, there is another way how to insulate the veranda in a private house is cheaply cheap. On the cold window, the window is tightened from the outside with a transparent film, the slots between the frame and the wall canopate and sample paper strips either by self-adhesive foam.

This is a completely acceptable temporary option to preserve the heat in the room. If you arrange a tambour in front of the entrance door, putting a warmed frame partition, then the task of cut-off cold from it will be solved.

Conclusion

Knowing how to insulate the veranda in a wooden house with their own hands, it can be turned into an extra bedroom, kitchen or bathroom, expanding the living area of \u200b\u200bthe house. To do this, it is necessary to overlap the warmth air the possibility of exiting the room from all sides: through the floor, ceiling, walls, windows and doors. You can warm up from the inside, and outside by choosing the method that will require less costs or will be most effective in your case.
