How to make the house warmer?

Warming the house can be quite an expensive task, but there are ways with which you can warm the house for affordable money. Let's figure out how to make heat in the house.

We warm the foundation

Most often, the poor foundation of the building leads tohuge heat loss, nevertheless owners of houses properly do not insulate the foundation, in spite of the urgency of this method. It is necessary to warm the foundation not only from the inside, as many think, but also from the outside - this will prevent the walls from freezing during the winter, which will make the house warmer.

The foundation is insulated with various materials: sheets of insulation material, gravel, foam from polyurethane foam (spraying with polyurethane foam). The most advantageous method of insulation is the use of sheets of polystyrene - this allows you to increase moisture resistance, for a long time to get rid of problems with the insulation of the foundation. Such sheets are easy to process and bring, in a decorative sense, to the kind that is needed. This material is also durable. In order to insulate the foundation, it is necessary:

1. Dig a ditch around the foundation to its full depth.
2. Align and clean the outside of the foundation.
3. Waterproof the foundation, using ruberoid and bitumen mastic.
4. The joints of the insulation should be treated with foam for increased protection against moisture.
5. Fill the ditch with a sand, and then put a heater on it.

Warming walls

Walls can be insulated in various ways:

• Attach a special heat insulator to the wall, using an adhesive solution, and then finish with plaster.
• Attach the insulation mortar, and then mount the outer wall into one brick.
• Protect the wall with waterproofing, which is subsequently mounted windproof, as well as external cladding, which, in this case, can serve as lining or siding.

Insulate the ceiling

Before proceeding to the insulation of the ceiling, it is necessary to study the general rules of warming.

• Choose environmentally friendly materials for insulation.
• Choose refractory materials.
• Insulate the ceiling in such a way that it does not subsequently affect the air circulation in the house.
• Carefully protect the insulation of the ceiling from moisture.

For the insulation of the ceiling,materials like expanded clay, mineral wool, eco-wool, foam and foam isole. Each of these materials is good in its own way and has advantages and disadvantages. It should also be understood that the ceiling can be insulated from both the attic and the side of the room. You need to choose the method that is suitable for a particular ceiling and will be easy to install. If you insulate the ceiling from the inside, the insulation must have vapor-permeable properties.

We warm the roof

Roof insulation usually reduces lossesheat in a private house by 15%, and thanks to this the house will become more comfortable and warm. You can do it yourself. It should be understood that the insulation of the roof makes sense only if you plan to actively use the attic. Otherwise, you can only insulate the ceiling of the house, and the effect will be exactly the same. The roof can be sloped and flat, and the ways of its warming depend on it.

Pitched roof

The pitched roof is insulated from the inside, thenthere is in the attic. First, check the condition of the rafters, treat the entire tree with an antiseptic and a special composition that prevents inflammation. As an ideal material for the insulation of such a roof are mineral wool, glass wool, ruberoid, waterproof film, foil and much more. Perhaps the best material here can be called a vapor barrier membrane.

Flat roof

A flat roof is insulated both from the inside andoutside. First of all, they take on external insulation, and then determine whether it will be necessary internal. Outside for thermal insulation, a basalt mineral water is usually used, which does not conduct heat well, but conducts steam well. Expanded use of expanded polystyrene, but this material is too bad in terms of fire safety.
