To create a cosiness and to reduce heatlosses, it is necessary to know how it is correct to warm the rooftop. This quite simple, but effective action will help to save a little on heating and to reach the optimum temperature of the room.
How it is correct to warm the rooftop from within?
As a rule, choose a warming technique proceeding from the structure of a roof: if arrangement of a penthouse is planned, then it is necessary to warm directly a roof, and the attic will be empty – is more practical to warm its floor, thereby having left an opportunity for air circulation. Thanks to it it is possible to avoid dampness and emergence of an unpleasant smell.
At the same time it should be taken into account also a form of a roof – if it cattle, warming will be an optimal variant from within and if flat, then it is simpler to warm it outside.
How it is correct to warm the attic in the private house?
We will consider warming of a cattle roof in more detail from within. Before beginning installation works, it is worth checking a condition of the roof and to make necessary repairs. If a condition of all components good, it is possible to get to work:
- All warming will consist of several layers: at once under a roof – a hydrobarrier, then actually heater, after a paroizolyatsionny layer and at will – internal finishing (it is relevant only for a penthouse). Between the listed layers it is necessary to leave air layers, otherwise there is a risk of stagnation of moisture. Therefore the first step – measurement of a roof and purchase of all necessary materials. The best heaters – glass wool and foam plates, suits for a waterproofing roofing material or a special purpose film, they are suitable for vapor barrier, as well as materials with a foil.
- Before works give to plates for thermal insulation the necessary size (on distance between rafters with an increase of 1 cm).
- Fix a hydrobarrier so that it enveloped rafters (to fix it by conveniently construction stapler). Do not forget to draw a conclusion for moisture in the bottom of a design.
- Further on rafters it is necessary to fill nails at distance about 5 cm, to pull a cord and to hammer nails up to the end.
- After it it is necessary to lay heater, slightly compressing it – having finished, it will create ideal protection against cold. It is the best of all to put heater in 2 layers, but at the same time to watch that joints of layers were not imposed at each other. Perhaps, it is required to beat one more bar to rafters that width approached.
- Further the fishing line on nails, or as option, heater is fixed by furring stretches.
- By means of the construction stapler the vapor barrier layer which keeps within with an overlap (not less than 10 cm) becomes stronger. It is important to glue joints with a film or an adhesive tape.
If interested you as it is correct to warm a ceiling in the private house, then at this stage work is ended. If arrangement of a penthouse is required, then further it is necessary to attach facing.
