3. After you have completely laid thermal insulation and have closed up all gaps, from above lay paroizolyatsionny film with overlap in 10 cm by means of the stapler. Connect edges of vapor barrier adhesive tape. It serves for protection of heater against humid air which comes from the room to light.
