An undeniable fact for owners of frame houses is a significant percentage of the loss of thermal energy in the process of operating the room. That is why the question of proper insulation of the structure is paramount and is carried out at the finishing stage. What type and how to produce correctly calculation of insulation, To avoid unnecessary costs and not to waste time. This task is not simple, because of incorrect calculation, you have to make an additional delivery, and this costs and lost time. And if you order the amount of insulation more than the required amount - this is also the lost money. will justify the hopes and material costs, and how to carry out the insulation of the house on your own?

Need to insulate the frame house
The basic stage in the construction of a frame house, on which the comfort of living will depend, is the insulation of the premises. It is known that about 80% of the area of the walls of the frame house is technologically occupied by heat-insulating material.
Acting as a kind of thermal barrier, a heater for the walls, floor and roof of the frame house must be chosen, taking into account the technical characteristics of the material. The wealth and variety of insulation worries the imagination of the builder. What you need to know when choosing a thermal insulation material, because, as the saying goes: "Every Rokwool his mineral wool praises" ...
Methods of warming the walls of the frame house
If you think that for warming the frame house any heat insulation is suitable, but you are just recommended to reconsider your knowledge and attitude to these building materials.
It is necessary to distinguish the following methods of warming the walls of the house frame:
• external thermal insulation
• Insulation from the inside.
With the external method of insulation, the thermal insulation material is placed between the walls of the walls. This method is the most in demand because of the relatively low price of insulation for the frame house. The method of thermal insulation of the frame house from the inside is less successful from the constructive point of view, because when the walls are warmed, very favorable conditions arise for the creation of condensate.
The walls of the frame house are structurally composed of several layers, therefore it is necessary to maintain a certain sequence during operation.
It is recommended to cover the walls from the outside of the building. This will create additional convenience when installing and securing the heater. Naturally, the lining must be made taking into account the material of the facade: panels and crate. On the crate from the inside is attached a windproof membrane, and then the insulant is guessed. Then the insulation is covered with a vapor barrier layer and the inner skin is installed.
How to make the insulation of the walls of the frame country house will help the video itself.
Types of insulation for the frame house
Among the numerous applicants as a heater, used for external and internal insulation of the walls of the frame house can be called:
• Fiberglass wool, with a density of up to 20 kg / m3
• foam, with a density of up to 25 kg / m3
• extruded polystyrene foam, with a density of up to 35 kg / m3
• basalt insulation Rockwool, with a density of up to 50 kg / m3
• Izovat thermal insulation, with a density of up to 135 kg / m3.
Arranged in order of increasing density of the material, the name of the insulation suggest that the higher the density and thickness of the insulation for the frame house, the better.
What kind of insulation in this case, give preference? The criteria for choosing a heater should be based on such parameters:
• density and thickness of the insulation
• Ecology and fire safety
• ease of delivery and subsequent installation.
Recall that manufacturers of houses for wireframe technology (Canadian and Scandinavian technology), almost do not use as a heater fiberglass wool and polystyrene.
Glass wool is already practically not used as a heat insulation material for a number of reasons: the fibrous structure of cotton wool is characterized by increased brittleness, so a considerable percentage of shrinkage is not excluded with time. In addition, the glass dust from the material during the installation and subsequent operation adversely affects the person's airways.
Therefore, the refusal of this insulation material can be considered in favor of a comfortable stay.
Increased fire risk of foam and a slight vapor permeability of the material is much inferior to other heaters. Therefore, the question: "What kind of insulation for the frame house to prefer" should be approached with theoretically justified data, taking into account all the advantages and disadvantages of existing heaters.
The most popular insulant or the best insulation for a frame house can be considered EFPS (extruded polystyrene foam) and basalt insulation.
Excellent technology has proved the insulation of the frame house polyurethane foam. During application, the liquid components of the polyurethane foam fill the space between the posts. The resulting seamless monolithic surface excludes the appearance of cracks or "cold bridges". In addition, polyurethane foam does not absorb moisture, so there is no need for additional membrane protection.
Basalt insulation for frame houses is the most popular solution for keeping heat. For framed wooden houses, the main requirement is to ensure fire safety of the structure. Rockwool and Rockton Basalt Heaters use not only for the insulation of frame structures. It can be beams or multi-layered slit walls, as well as brick half walls.
Thermal insulation using a Rockwool basalt insulation is made from the outside. In this case, all the conditions of the device for steam and waterproofing the walls and roof of the frame house will be met completely.
For facade insulation from the outside, a "wet" method uses mineral wool based on basalt fiber - Izovat. The technology can be successfully used both for rectilinear frameworks, and also for curvilinear parts. As a result - a reliable design with high thermal performance, eliminating the occurrence of fire. The long service life of the Izovat heater is equal to the period of operation of the frame house.
It is recommended to use material in the form of finished plates for insulation. Plates are easy to prepare for installation and are convenient for gluing or placing yourself. Warming of a frame house using the listed materials is carried out for walls, floors and roofing.
The principles of the technology of warming the walls of the frame house
Warming of the walls of the frame house is carried out between the erected racks. Plates made of mineral wool or fiberglass are installed directly into the interstitial spacer.
At the locations of the slopes, the insulation made of foam and EPPS is cut into size and placed in the space between the stand, foaming the gaps and crevices formed.
However, the technology of warming the walls of the frame house is identical for any kind of insulation. Therefore, we offer to your attention a video that is available step by step will tell how to make the walls of the frame house insulation using Isover boards.
