Today, many build on their sites baths.It is clear that it should be as warm as possible. If the owners do not want to get the wrong design, then think about each moment is at the planning level. But when you create a full bath, you can save a lot on wood.
What is worth thinking about?Warming the ceiling of the bath is an important stage in the construction. There are not enough offers on the market for materials. Before starting the erection, it is worthwhile to think over any action. After all, each material has its own characteristics and fastening technology.
When without insulation can not do?
According to experts, to produce insulationthe ceiling in the bath with their own hands is not required in every case. There is a law of physics, which should not be forgotten: warm air rises. The ceiling limits the movement of heat, and there it accumulates, not carrying a benefit. In this situation, it is important what level of thermal conductivity of the ceiling overlap. In the absence of a thermal insulation, about 30 percent goes to the street.
Dependence on the season
Some note that for a bath flooded in the summer, there is nothing wrong with lack of warming. If this building is used all year round, then you will have to think about the insulation.
In addition, if a person does not want to heat the wholeday, it is also worth completely eliminating heat loss. To do it it will turn out without attraction of experts. Since the insulation of the ceiling of the bath is a simple process, it remains only to take a full instruction on armament.
Several ways to choose
As already noted, there are enough ways, it is only necessary to choose your own and implement the project. How is the choice built? This is influenced by what is above the ceiling:
- Insulated attic space.
- Residential attic.
- Flat roof, with a small space.
Despite this, there is a limitation in the work. Specialists identify several main areas:
- Grazing.
- Sheathed.
- Panel.
As a result, each procedure gives the main result- insulation of the ceiling of the bath. With your own hands, this operation can be performed in a couple of days. Before the beginning it is necessary to understand the effectiveness of each action, the preparation of the material and tools required in the process of work. Having understood the nuances, you can proceed with the installation.
Deck ceiling
In the process of work, severalcomponent materials - expanded clay, clay and sawdust. When there is a cold attic, and there is no desire to insulate it, then it is worth considering some points. The flooring variant is the most suitable for such a design.
This is a simplified erection - since the ceiling is notImpact loads, strengthening beams will not be required. Rough construction will lie directly on the harness. By the name of this method it is clear that a mound will be produced. Therefore, it is worthwhile to lay a block with a thickness of at least 4 centimeters, so that no collapse occurs.
What should be the layer?
Materials apply any available to the owner of the building. But the principle is the same. This "pie" in several layers. The bottom-up cover is as follows:
- Finishing ceiling.
- A layer of vapor barrier material.
- Boards.
- Wax paper.
- Layer of insulation.
Steam insulation
I must say about the vapor barrier material.Its functions are not only protection against steam, but also the ability to withstand high temperatures. On the market, such a product does not have a wide range, so it will not be difficult to choose. Many believe that the best option is foil.
The insulating layer is made of expanded clay, clay withstraw. If this is a modern flooring, then to prevent spillage through the cracks of the constituent elements, paper (necessarily waxed) is used. The thickness of the coating reaches 30 centimeters. This is quite enough to ensure maximum protection, and the heat does not come out. In the sale is expanded clay of various fractions. It is important to stack so that no voids are formed. This is how the insulation of the ceiling in the bath with claydite is made by oneself.
Some masters additionally fill the boards with a small thickness (for separation.) But there is no great need for this.
Clay and other variants
The next kind is the use of clay.It was initially soaked, then mixed with straw or sawdust. Warming of the ceiling in the bath is done when a uniform composition is achieved. After the received mass is distributed along the perimeter of the heat insulation zone. There is another option: you can dilute clay, place on the entire area, allow to dry for four days. After the cracks appear, fill with the same solution. Pour sawdust or oak leaves on the surface, up to 9 centimeters. The final layer is a dry clay of 5 centimeters.
From the bath (to the black ceiling) is mountedvapor barrier material. Joints are sealed with scotch tape. After the crate is done, and the ceiling is already mounted on it. It can be forcing out or just a block. The choice will depend on the financial capabilities of the host.
If both these options compare, that is onethe general minus. This is a big weight. Hence, the ceiling should lie down from thick boards. Plus this method is inexpensive raw materials. A good option is the insulation of the ceilings in the baths with mineral wool by own hands. Also, polystyrene is often used. But such materials will not be cheap.
What should be prepared?
In the process of work, it is necessary to prepare the necessary raw materials and tools. It:
- Building stapler.
- Saw.
- A hammer.
- Boards.
- Foil and wax paper.
- Metal scotch tape.
- Nails.
- Expanded clay or clay.
Before purchasing a heating material, it is worth making it calculation, so as not to waste unnecessary and to perform the maximum protection.
Ceiling ceiling
To create such a ceiling insulation in a bath with a coldthe roof is not so simple. This is required for those who wish to create a room after the erected construction. If there is a living room on the second floor, then it is worthwhile to make the floors reliable and full. After the ceiling sheet is already in place. Before starting work prepare:
- Building stapler and tape measure.
- Hammer and saw.
- A sharp knife.
- Kiyanku.
- Beams.
- The foil.
- Metal scotch tape.
- Nails with a protective layer.
- Reiki for the crate.
- Bamboo or other material for decoration.
- Heater.
- Edged board.
- Film for vapor barrier.
Before buying it is necessary to calculate the quantityinsulation for the ceiling of the bath. If a bulk method is selected, the calculation is made from the height and area of the ceiling. Do not forget about the climatic indicators in the region. What will the bottom-up insulation look like:
- Finishing of the ceiling with a finishing coat.
- Creation of a ventilation gap (for this purpose rails are used).
- Cover of vapor barrier material.
- Heater between the beams.
- Waterproofing.
- Edged boards.
- Finishing on the ceiling of the attic.
After preparing the necessary materials and the required tools, the work is started:
- First you need to put beams overlap.
- Then the vapor barrier is fixed to them from below.For this purpose, foil is purchased. To completely exclude the passage of air, it is worthwhile to seal with metallic scotch. It is good to conduct such work with a stapler.
- To steam for sure not going to fix the slats, a gap of 3 centimeters is made.
- For finishing it is better to apply the lining. But such material is not cheap, so if you want, you can replace it with something.
- Next is to get to the attic. Between the beams is laid insulation material and steam protection. But what to choose? It is good to make the ceiling insulation of the bath with basalt cotton wool.
- After it is worth laying a layer of waterproofing. If it is a bath, it is better to give preference to the membrane.
- Next, edging boards are used, under them everything hides. Since this part will become a floor for the second floor, do not use concrete. It's heavy.
- Flooring as a finish material is being carried out.
The process is not difficult and everyone can cope with it. Do not skip any of the stages, otherwise the design is unreliable and will not create additional heat.
How to insulate the panel ceiling?
Masters say such a design in the bathis rare, because it is difficult to work with. The fact is that you need to mount a pallet in which the basic materials will be loaded. In the work you will need to apply:
- A hammer.
- Saw.
- Building stapler.
- A sharp knife.
- Nails.
- The foil.
- Mineral cotton wool.
- Bars.
- Boards.
To insulate the ceiling of the bath with mineral woolIt is worth taking a thickness of up to 10 centimeters. With the material it is easy to work, as it is cut with a knife, it is embedded and, if necessary, is pressed. Mount the pallet you need depending on the room itself, but the width can reach half a meter.
Knowing the length and width of the ceiling can be in advancecalculate how much it costs to purchase. There is no need to take any extra. Sometimes mineral wool has a high density. In such a situation, you can not squeeze it - just cut it. But these pieces can be used in some depressions. If the size of the ceiling of the bath is 3.5 by 3.5 meters, then 22 standard mats will suffice.
It is clear that in the bath the temperature rises strongly, so any insulation will not work. Particular attention is paid to the place where a person will be soared. The material should be:
- Non-flammable. In case of fire, do not create smoke.
- Able not to respond to temperatures up to 100 degrees.
- Do not take liquid.
- Do not release chemicals into the air.
Find a fully qualitative and suitable material is not so simple, because everyone has its pros and cons. Therefore, to build your choice is based on this data. How works are going:
- The first is a new design. For this, we need bars or boards, the length of which can reach up to half a meter.
- The bars are fixed at a distance of half a meter, and the boards are perpendicular to the fasteners. From the edge is indentation of 4 centimeters.
- According to external data it is a box. It is deepened vapor barrier. Then it is fixed. Such a shield must be raised upward. It is better to strengthen it so that it does not fall apart.
- Created shields are placed close to each other on the roof.
- The walls for this construction will be.It follows that their length should be identical. Stacking insulation is in the available pockets. Then the planking of the planks is done and after - the finishing floor.
Panel ceiling is used in baths in twofloor. He is compared to filing. In the end, each decides whether to save or not on the construction of the structure. Working with the installation of a panel ceiling, do not use plastic in the finish. He is very afraid of high temperatures. So, a few hours after using the bath, this whole structure can simply deform, spoiling the entire interior of the room.
Conclusion
So, we found out how to insulate the bathyourself. Before you make a final choice of material, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the characteristics of each insulation. Only this way it becomes clear that it is better. Some have increased flammability, which is definitely unacceptable. Builders believe that the insulation of the ceiling should be planned at the level of construction of the bath. And everyone can do this with their own hands, without attracting specialists.
