One of the most wonderful options for own housing is frame house. This is an excellent and comfortable home and, besides, quite economical when erected. However, the case of construction is not limited. It is necessary to make the finish to warm the house well, because the comfort will depend on it. Among the main features frame house It is possible to distinguish that the insulation of the walls occur directly during construction - this is due primarily its design.

What to warm the frame house: the choice of materials

Initially, it should be determined which material it is necessary to lay as insulation in wall Pie. For this, there are a wide variety of materials. It is best for this activity:

Warming of a frame house can be made with their own hands

Basic requirements for insulation for walls of a frame house

1. The insulation is best to choose from eco-friendly material so that it does not harm human health.
2. It must have resistance to moisture accumulation, as well as to fire.
3. Ease of installation on the framework of the insulation building.
4. The ratio in the insulation of quality and price.
5. Fire safety.
6. Small thermal conductivity.
7. Strength, as well as the incompetence of mechanical destruction.

Wall insulation technology

May be different, but among them the main technologies can be distinguished:

1. Heat insulation with plate materials (foam plastic, mineral wool and so on).
2. Sprayed thermal insulation. This type of insulation is still quite rarely applied due to novelty. However, it is quite effective. Polyurethane foam is used as insulation in this case. The application process is similar to working with the use of mounting foam.
3. Filing technology. In this case, insulation is carried out using cellulose fibers, as well as other flowing materials.
4. Can be used combined options. This scheme can often be used: inside the mineral wool, outside the foam, and then plaster.

The order of outdoor insulation works

During work, an accurate insulation technology performs a primary role. Any factors that are able to provide a positive end result of insulation, including causes, are able to lead to a negative result.

1. Attachment method of insulation. In this case, the frame is attached to the wall, and directly to the surface - waterproofing. It can be inlet and painting. When painting waterproofing walls after primer are subjected to bitumen. With an inlet version, using bitumen mastic, the waterproofing rolled material, isol, waterproof, glass fiberglass is mounted. Then in the frame cell, applying specials, or mounting dowels are attached ribbons or slabs of a roll insulation.

   

   At the end of the work, the external side of the frame is separated by decorative plates or panels. As a result, it is possible to perform fibro-cement, composite, plastic, metal, porcelain, and so on.

   

   Polyfoam - the cheapest insulation for walls

   The main advantage of mounted insulation is a ventilation system that eliminates the appearance and accumulation of condensate in the insulation layer.

2. Wet insulation method. This method refers to cheap, but at the same time and to rather labor-intensive ways. With the help of the polymer glue on the wall, the plates of the insulation are fastened, after which the fastener of the reinforcing mesh is performed by a dowel, and after it is stacked decorative plaster. This coating is also called "light" plaster.
3. There is also a "heavy" plaster. It will be more difficult, but in its reliability and durability will exceed the "light". It is performed so - insulating plates are mounted on the wall using dowels, after which, using the locking plates, the reinforcing grid is fixed.

   

   Warming at home Fibrolite plates

   Then there is the first layer of plaster. During the day it dries, and deformation seams are made. Following the second, as well as the leveling layer in which the temperature and shrinking seams should be present. The last decorative, where dyes are added, apply five days later.

4. Spraying liquid insulation. This method is the most progressive and modern. Spraying polyurethane foam is performed using a special installation. A feature is that the performance of such insulation is an order of magnitude higher, and the cost is equal to medium heaters. After polyurethane foam, virtually any coating can be used as decoration, including hinged panels.



The insulation is applied by spraying

5. Facing method. This option relates to expensive, however, and to the most decorative. Facing with materials can be performed on the wall of the building, as well as over the insulation. With the second method, the quality of insulation will be much better, but it is necessary to perform high-quality ventilation.

• when performing work, it is important to accurately comply with the insulation scheme.
• in multilayer systems, it is necessary to make sure that the presence of sufficient ventilation is to ensure that the inner insulation of the insulation does not sit down, and accordingly it was not destroyed.

Interior insulation of the walls of the frame house

Sometimes there are situations when unacceptable. In this case, it is necessary to use internal thermal insulation. For this work, the same materials can be applied as outside, however, minvat and glass gamble due to the complexity of the installation can be quite rarely applied. In most cases, extruded polystyrene foam, as well as sprayed materials are used: Equata, polyurethane, foamizol.

Installation of a layer of vaporizolation

The cover of the inner surface of the walls is produced in various ways. You can perform insulation with the help of reinforced plaster, then putty and conclusted the wallpaper sticker or painting.

Warming of a frame home from the inside

You can also use finishing panels from lining, MDF and plastic. The most common option is the upholstery of plasterboard sheets, after which the decorative coating is applied.

Such materials such as foamizol and polyurethane foam are also used. Penosol can be applied on the surface of various configurations, it is able to fill all irregularities and defects. It is environmentally friendly and racks to fire, but the main complexity of its application is that a special foaming machine is necessary.

The framework of construction is becoming very popular in Russia. If in the West people buy ready-made homes, then our fellow citizens love to build with their own hands. The main question in the case of a skeleton: "What is the insulation better for a frame house?".

Properties of insulation

Mineral wool

Generally speaking, an unequivocal opinion about the fact that one or another material is the most best insulation For a skeleton house, no. There are several of the most popular options, and everyone has their drawbacks and dignity.

In addition, there are a lot of myths about various thermal insulation materials generated by promotional wars and simple ignorance, as well as nonsense. We will also list them.

Let's start with one of the most common. This material that is fibers made from mountain breeds Basalt Group, Waste Glass Industry or Other Slags.

In terms of its characteristics, this material refers to highly efficient heat insulators, while environmental and fire safety does not cause any complaints.

Here are some characteristics of mineral wool:

• The thermal conductivity ranges from 0.035 to 0.068 W / m × K, depending on the class and type of material. This allows you to attribute this heat insulator to the group most effective tools For obstacles on the way of transferring heat from one body to another method of conduction;
• Gigroscopicity is about 1%. This is a very low level of absorption of moisture, but should not be dedicated: there is no amount of steam and water, which accumulate between the insulation fibers, and only the one that is absorbed directly by the material itself;
• The density ranges from 30 to 100 kg / m³. This characterizes Minvatu as a sufficiently dense material capable of maintaining its form over a long period of time;
• The melting point of the fibers is about 1000 ° C. Full fire safety, material does not burn. This allows you to use wool as an insulator of chimney pipes, furnaces, fireplaces and boilers.

So, we see that mineral wool is a good answer to the question: "What a heater to choose for a frame house?". Especially if you consider that the installation of this material does not cause complexity and does not require the participation of complex techniques, high-class professionals or an expensive tool.

As for the glass gambles and stone wool there will be a misfortune of the myth: it quickly flies and comes, and it must be changed. This is complete nonsense. With proper installation serves to 50 years. Moreover, the instruction does not require any complex manipulations or labor-intensive work.

If you hired "builders" from the neighboring yard, be offended by yourself. They can save time and strength, spreading lags to make mats easily inserted. Also often wat is incorrectly attached, according to the principle of "hanging - and good."

These manifestations of prettybery should immediately stop and change the brigade of workers. It is also necessary to choose the right vapor insulation materials.

Important! Mineral wool requires proper technology Installation and vaporizolation. Only in this case she will serve you faithfully for a long time.

Styrofoam

Polyfoam and its variety of polystyrene foam, perhaps the most popular materials for the insulation of frame houses.

The fact is that abroad, and more recently, and we, the market of building materials for frame houses confidently fill the sandwich panels. It is not surprising, since in all respects it is a truly convenient and effective solution.

The sandwich panel is a wall slab (or roofing, or any other), which consists of a heater pressed between a double-sided plastic cover, fiberboard, OSB, PVC or metal. Canadian SIP panels were the classics of modern sandwich panels, where the insulation is used exactly the polystyrene foam.

Polyfoam has a very low thermal conductivity, very little weighs and very simply mounted. He has a fairly low price. In principle, this is enough to select this insulation.

But there are several "but", which is called when discussing this material. The first "but": Polyfoam burns.

1. Firstly, when we build a house from a tree, as in the case of a frame home, isn't it equal to the fire only a house, or the house with the insulation?
2. Secondly, the foam is not so good, as it is customary. Try, begite without using the gasoline sip-panel, and you will understand what it is about.
3. In fact, the main danger is a poisonous smoke, which, when combustion, highlights foam. To do this, when building frame houses in each room, a window is provided, and in the event of a fire, independent quenching is prohibited.

The second "but": the foam eating mice.

1. First, the mice do not eat it, but they build minks and nests there. This is not bread, not cheese and not grain, they will not eat your home.
2. Secondly, rodent nests are built in any insulation, and especially love mineral wool. It is logical where heat is there and the nest.
3. Today there is plenty effective ways Get rid of rodents, from ultrasound to powerful poisons, impregnations and other means.

Third "But": Polyfoam passes heat around the edges.

1. First, the foam does not miss anything. Pass the gaps that leave the incompetent installers. All joints should be handled by mounting foam, and no problems.
2. Secondly, the foam, perhaps the most stable appearance of the insulation, which does not occur, is not knocked down and does not deteriorate. And does not absorb moisture. What else is needed? Once again: the foam does not miss anything, it simply does not physically, even if he wants.

Tip! Due to the low weight and simplified installation of the foam, it is convenient to make the insulation of the loggia or balcony, where they will not specifically turn with other materials.

Polyurene Foolder

Polyurethane Foolder - one of the most effective thermal insulation materials. Its thermal conductivity is 0.019 - 0.03 W / m × K, which is lower than most of the materials common in this industry.

But this is not all its advantages.

• First, it is a gas-filled plastic in which the air is up to 97% of the volume. In addition, gas tanks are hermetically isolated, which makes thermal insulation particularly efficient and stable.

• Secondly, this material does not absorb moisture. As you know, water is well performed well and reduces the quality of any insulation in which it accumulates.

• Third, polyurethane foam creates a seamless monolithic hermetic coating, in which weak places and cold bridges are missing. This is important quality.

Finally, this material has excellent adhesion to the surface on which it is applied. In no case will it hurt, does not fall and does not doubt.

Add it to this full chemical inertness, environmental purity, fire safety - and you will receive a practically perfect insulation. The only thing weakness - It is afraid of ultraviolet radiation. However, it is easy to protect against any coating.

The main lack of polyurethane foam is a way to apply it and the cost of the material. It refers to who is applied like mounting foam With the help of special equipment. A trained specialist in the costume of the chemical priests and the respirator should be engaged in such work.

This fact negates the possibility of self-editing by infrident means, and significantly increases the cost of insulation. For many consumers, it is the cost and the possibility of independent work are determining factors when choosing a material for insulation at home.

The rest of the polyurethane foam does not cause any complaints. It can be called a selection material, it remains to hope that in the future such technologies will become more affordable for our consumers.

Output

Among the materials for insulation of frame houses there is no unambiguous leader. All insulation have pluses and cons, you have to choose, based on the possibilities and preferences. In the video presented in this article, you will find additional information on this topic.

Insulation is a necessary component of any residential building. The large temperature difference is the main reason why you need to choose this material very carefully. The comfort of accommodation in the house will depend on the right solution, especially in the coldest and hot season. To do optimal choice Information on the characteristics of the popular methods of thermal finish at home will help.

Insulation for the walls of a frame house - what functions it performs

Almost half of the heat supplied by the heating system is lost due to poor-quality wall sheat. In winter, it was warmer, we simply turn on the boiler that is more comfortable, and the temperature becomes comfortable again. Thoughtful and practical owner will definitely think about good thermal insulation.

The advantages that she gives:

• saving gas fuel leaving for water heating in the heating system;
• effective noise insulation;
• lack of need for air conditioning in the summer;
• constant comfortable temperature;
• increase the service life of the frame and the "filling" walls, roofs and gender.

It's hard to believe, but all this gives the insulation for a skeleton house. Heat will not go beyond the premises, then the heating boiler will work on minimum power. You will save on fuel. The walls with a dense filler will detain noise going on the road and streets, even if the house is located near the highway, it will be quiet and calm. In the summer, the heat will not pass in the dwelling - you can do without air conditioning. With an optimal microclimate inside the wall, the filler and the bearing components will be protected from premature destruction.

Best Heater for Frame Home - Views, Properties, Characteristics

Before going to the building store store, analyze such components as:

• what condition is;
• characteristics of the area, climatic conditions;
• your experience in construction workah - if you decide to make housing insulation yourself;
• the budget that can be allocated to the purchase of necessary materials.

The specificity of the structure of the skeleton house is that it is completely made of wood. On the one hand, such a cottage is quickly built and is environmentally safe. On the other hand, a wooden base is not able to delay heat. All load falls on the insulation. The better to insulate the frame house and what to pay attention to the selection of the material is:

• Heat grinding properties. Material must have low thermal conductivity. The smaller its coefficient, the less thickness there is a width of the heating sheet. For frame design optimal is the value in the range from 10 to 15 cm. This is suitable for the middle strip. The north, the thickness should be more, and vice versa.
• Weight. A frame house is not able to withstand large weight loads, so do not choose heavy materials for its skin and insulation. Light items easier to mount.
• Parry permeability. Time wooden design Significantly last if you choose a heater that transmits air. The frame walls are usually trimmed with sheet materials that are well "breathing." Competently chosen filler will provide good infiltration and normal microclimate indoors. If an excess moisture is published from the house, then its level will always be normal. You will not need to adjust the rooms.
• Ecology. Home accommodation will be safe if you use environmentally friendly materials for its construction. From what insulation is located inside the wall, the health of residents will depend on.
• Gigroscopicity. Regardless of the way exterior decoration Buildings, its "filling" will be exposed to moisture contained in the atmosphere. Direct culprits - rain and snow. Choose waterproof materials or those that do not change their characteristics due to water from entering them. Actual for districts where the atmospheric humidity is high.
• Strength. The insulation for the frame design must maintain its original shape and sizes. If the shrinkage is minimal, the inside of the room will not fall cold. When mounting, the dimensions of the insulation plates are calculated so that they are aslended to each other as close as possible.
• Price. This indicator depends on your budget. How to insulate a frame house if the amount of means is limited? The main rule is not to take the cheapest. This will lead to loss of money in the future.

Look at the characteristics of the most popular insulation and choose what comes best for your case.

Basalt mat or mineral wool

Basalt consists of volcanic minerals. First they are melted, then super-thin threads are obtained, which are glued with phenol formaldehyde resin. Plates or mats are formed from the resulting mass.

What is interesting to basalt:

• it has a very low thermal conductivity. Such an indicator provides air between fibers;
• thanks to the resin contained in it, does not absorb water;
• the open structure does not interfere with normal air infiltration;
• the mineral from which the wool is made is only on the achievement of a temperature of 1000 degrees;
• absorbs air and shock noises;
• it has antiseptic and chemically persistent properties, not subject to biocorrosion, mold or fungus will never be headed;
• very durable to compression, keeps geometry during the entire period of use, not falling inside the wall and does not give a shrinkage;
• environmentally safe.

Minus mineral wool in its high cost. Among the options for insulation of the frame of the house, it is considered one of best Materials.

Polyfoam - inexpensive and convenient

It is obtained by foaming polystyrene with steam and under high temperature. Polyfoam consists of polymer thin-walled granules, which inside are filled with atmospheric gas. In construction, it is used in the form of plates of various configurations and sizes. Benefits:

• Since this insulation is 98% by air, its thermal conductivity coefficient is lower than that of basalt wool. For located in middle lane, multiple layers of a total thickness of 10 cm are quite enough. Choose a foam, the density of which is 34 kg / m3.
• The closed structure of the cells inside the foam does not allow to pass inside moisture. The overall water indicator will never exceed 4%. At the time of construction work, the material does not need to close the films outside - it is not swollen and does not refuse if it rains.
• The material is not deformed inside the wall, despite the fact that the breakdown is quite fragile.
• Blocks noises.
• Resistant to mold appearance.
• Cheap stands. If you are looking for a budget option With good characteristics, it is best to warm the foam.

The thermal insulation layer of the foam is withstanding the freezing and thawing in an unlimited quantity. This does not affect its condition, because water, which, during crystallization, usually destroys the structure, is almost absent here.

Polyfoam does not conduct air. Its parry permeability coefficient is comparable to monolithic concrete. In order for the walls of the frame to breathe and produce moisture from wooden beamsThey do not need to close the plates tightly. In the house with insulation of foam, it is necessary to arrange a good ventilation system.

The disadvantage is the destructiveness under the influence of sun rays, a high level of flavoring. You can cope with this if you handle the slabs with protective compositions.

Polyurethane - a new word in the field of wall insulation

Construction technologies do not stand still. A new method of insulation has appeared - with the help of polyurethane foam. It is obtained in the process of chemical reaction of components that are connected to each other using a special installation, right before applying. Experienced specialists are applied by PPU, during operation, a special installation for spraying is used, equipped with a compressor.

Positive traits:

• To date, PPU is a leader of low thermal conductivity. During application, it can be adjusted.
• Compared to the foam material, only 2% of moisture from its volume can be absorbed. To enhance the water-pump properties, castor oil is added to the composition.
• It does not burn thanks to special additives.
• Does not miss noises.
• It has a high level of durability at a density above 35 kg / m3. From above, the PPU is enough to handle plaster, because Shrink coefficient zero. When applying foam, it first increases, fills the space and freezes. Ideally maintains geometry for all the time of operation.
• Ecologicaly clean.

To disadvantages the newest material Refers low vapor permeability. Inflicted by frame walls Foam fully blocks air circulation with street. Tightening the fudge frame should not - moisture, located inside the tree, should evaporate. If the foam is covered in full, the water will be locked inside the material. This will lead to premature destruction of the construction. Before working with polyurethane foam, all wooden components must be well sucked.

What variant of the insulation from the submitted exactly to you? Weigh all the "for" and "against", visit the construction stores, look at what the materials look like, compare prices. Do not hurry, examine the characteristics again, it will help to make a right decision.

Even before the construction start, it is very important to choose a high-quality insulation for a skeleton house. After all, poor-quality material levels all the advantages of an economical design and will not keep the temperature in the building. Choose the best among the variety of market offers is difficult. Examine everything available options And compare their advantages and disadvantages.

How to choose a heater

Even the professional builder will not be able to immediately say which insulation is better for a skeleton house. The material must correspond to the climatic zone and the type of home, correspond to the thickness and lining of the walls. One prefer to sow a house of foam, others - mineral wool or other materials. On the insulation does not save, because without it wooden house It will be cold.

Foam insulation

Polyfoam is a very popular insulation. The insulation of the frame house with foam has many advantages:

• pretty low material cost;
• environmental Safety;
• minimum weight;
• simple installation;
• the ability to withstand the influence of moisture without protective coating;
• no need to make additional isolation.

But the foam plastic has its own minuses that make many of many refuse him, despite the cheapness of this material. It is susceptible to fire, has minimal noise insulation and very fragile.

When choosing a foam should be take the density. If you need to obtay frame structure 6 square meters. meters, you need to purchase 3 cu. m foam 100 mm thick.

Mineral wool insulation

Another popular insulation for the skeleton house is mineral wool. The demand for it is growing, because it is a very convenient material presented in the form of compressed rectangular plates. Plates are not only easy to install, but also easily cut. To get a piece of the desired shape and size, it is enough to use a knife or saw.

For the production of mineral wool, domain slags or basalt are used, which are treated thermally and pressed. Thanks to the fibrous structure, the insulation delays air than it creates a barrier for cold air and does not allow it to the room.

Allocate the following benefits of the material:

• fire resistance;
• high sound insulation;
• durability of operation;
• excellent thermal insulation;
• the ability to withstand practically any deformation.

Some do not buy mineral wool, because it is non-environmental and to some extent toxic. The material contains small harmful particles that are able to penetrate the inside of the respiratory tract and cause illness. Therefore, it is necessary to work with the insulation gently. And in order for mineral wool in the future, it does not affect the health of residents at home, it is recommended to inside it with a vapor barrier film.

If there will be moisture on this insulation, it will begin to collapse. This will lead to the loss of thermal insulation properties and even to the beginning of rotting. To avoid this, it is necessary to make not only thermal insulation of the walls in the frame house, but also install outside a special waterproofing layer. It will make it impossible to enter the heat insulating layer of moisture from the outside.

Walls with mineral wool are insulated as follows:

1. From the inside before between the insulation and set a layer of vapor barrier to ensure the circulation of air with wood and make it impossible to accumulate condensate.
2. Mineral wool itself is laid between the frame racks. Slicing the insulation plates, it is better to make a small margin.
3. So that the insulation was high-quality heat insulation material Install the most tight.

Similarly, insulate a frame wooden house and outside. But instead of a vapor insulating layer on mineral wool, a special waterproofing membrane is tightened.

Using mineral wool, you need to pose a question that the insulation for the walls of the frame house should be. It is usually enough to use 25-30 kg. on m. sq. It is important that the material holds the shape, not compressed under its own weight, so that the wall does not occur in the heat insulation. If it is possible, it is better to be restrained and use the material with a density of up to 50 kg. on m. sq.

So, if you properly install the heat-insulating layer with mineral wool, this insulation will be one of the best and most profitable options for the frame house.

Using glass gamble

This is another fibrous material that heads the ranking of the main insulation for a frame house. Glasswater is obtained during the smelting of glass waste, soda, sand, dolomites and borants. Sold with plates or rolls.

The material is nice enough when contacting, because the glass fragments are creepy, their suspension is in the air. Therefore, when working with glass, you need to use glasses, respirator and mittens to protect your eyes and skin.

Despite this disadvantage, glass gamns have a number of indisputable advantages:

• fire resistance;
• excellent heat resistance;
• minimum hygroscopicity;
• the ability to chemically decide for a long time.

This type of insulation for frame houses is excellent heat insulating characteristics. And toxic substances are not released into the air even with a strong fire. Moreover, glasswater - very cheap optionSo many choose it.

Warring the room with glass gamble, it is worth sheltering it outside with a windproof film. This will make it possible to maximize heat inside the building, and also eliminates spraying glass dust in the air.

Eco-insulation

- A more modern high-quality and eco-friendly insulation, which is used in the construction of frame houses. Produce it from cellulose.

Features of the material:

1. To install the insulation in the frame house, you must use a special device. It adds water to insulation, after which it fastens it in the walls. This is a wet installation method.
2. It is possible to establish an eco-way as a dry way. To do this, the material is poured inside the frame, after which it is trambed to the required density.
3. When choosing an eco-way, you do not need to do hydro and vaporizolation, since this material is not destroyed by water.

Despite the indicated advantages, the EcoWhat is not an ideal insulation for frame houses. First, it is very expensive, secondly, the installation must be carried out by experts. They are needed not only for mounting work, but also to calculate the thickness of the insulation, given the thermal insulation requirements. Professionals will come to the object, make measurements and calculate how much Equata is needed.

Filling polyurethane foam

(it is also called foamizole) produced from two components, which allows you to get reliable insulation With excellent characteristics. As a result, a foam is formed, which can be pouring into all the cracks in the frame house. Thanks to this all with the Trustruction of the insulation becomes monolithicunited. Installation of polyurethane foam is something similar to work with mounting foam.

In polyurethane foam, or foamizol, high thermal insulation properties that many insulation do not have. But to pour it, you need to have certain skills and skills. Therefore, for installation, you will have to call professionals, because you cannot cope with it with it.

Penosol is quite expensive at cost. This means that for those who are looking for an efficient, but budgetary version of insulation, you will need to choose other materials.

Clay - Natural Insulation

The clay solution will be the best insulation for the skeleton house of that owner, which chooses only natural materials. Clay is not used in pure form, but along with straw. The advantage of clay walls is that they do not need vaporizolation. Clay supports comfortable microclimate in the house, absorbing excess moisture from the air and giving it if the air becomes dry.

The most important thing is to choose clay with the necessary fat content. If there is a small fatty, it will not work out the desired clutch.

To determine the fat, the ball is rolled out of clay and clamp it between the boards. If the ball has cracks, which destroyed it by 50%, you need to add sand into the solution. The ideal composition of clay plaster under pressure decays by 30%. If the ball scattered at all, it means that it is not at all suitable for future use.

An ideal recipe, how to make a clay solution for, no. In the process of its production, clay, water, lime, sawdust, cement and sand in different proportions are used, depending on the situation.
How to apply clay plaster on straw walls, told in the video.

Fibrololite - new reliable material

The fibrolite insulation is made of wood chips, which is dried, begin to press, bringing to the type of plate. Portland cement or magnesian salt for binding is added to the chips in parallel. So that the material does not lose its heat insulating characteristics, it is necessary to further make waterproofing. Fibrololit is ideal for interior overlaps and walls.

The popularity of fibrolite is growing every year, since this material has excellent characteristics:

• it does not burn in fire, since the binding compositions impregnate all the material and make it fireproof;
• resistant to moisture;
• well withstands any kind of deformation, since the wood chips behaves like a damper, and binders provide stability of a warm plate;
• although there are a lot of wood chips, it does not rot and does not have other biological activity, since the impregnation does not give microorganisms to spread inside the material and spoil it;
• fully safe and environmental;
• it has high sound insulation properties;
• insulating plates capable of withstanding frost without deterioration of operational characteristics, so they are used even in regions with a harsh climate;
• maximum fibrolite durability - over 50 years.

Sawdust - no less effective material

What if you want to save maximize on construction, and there is no way to get cheap insulation? You can use conventional sawdust. Of course, you need to prepare an appropriate solution. For this you need lime, cement, antiseptic.

The insulation of sawdust prepare as follows:

1. Mix sawdust, cement and lime in a ratio of 10: 1: 0.5.
2. A homogeneous mixture is stirred with water, an antiseptic agent is added there, for example, boric acid.
3. In order for the entire mixture to be maximally and evenly moistened, it is necessary to use the wage to inflate.

The resulting solution is placed in the area between bars or beams. More often, sawdust is used for floor insulation, but they can be used for walls. At the same time, the mixture sweep in small portions, strongly their tampering.

Despite the availability, sawdust as insulation have many drawbacks:

• defined fire hazard;
• low efficiency;
• pretty laborious work;
• possible sedimentation of the insulation over time.

Increase the effectiveness of the insulation is possible if you additionally use clay.

What material to choose

So, there are many materials, so you say what the best insulation for the heat insulation of the frame house is difficult. All the considered options are characteristic, cost and appearance. Some have a limited scope of application, other high cost, the need to attract professionals, low environmental friendliness.

You need to weigh what characteristics are priority and make the final choice. For example, according to the author of this article, basalt stone Vata. - The best insulation for the walls of the frame house. Perhaps you will be helped by tips from the video, the authors of which tested the products of different manufacturers.

Modern technologies for the construction of frame houses significantly facilitated the life wishing to have their own own house Away from noisy tracks and cries of neighbors through the wall. It should be paid to the fact that frame houses differ from each other with some features of construction, materials of which build up the building, as well as the design of the house. However, all frame houses, regardless of the floor, climatic conditions The construction site of the house, as well as the materials used, cannot be completed without such an element as insulation.

At first glance, it seems that this is a completely not fundamental task to which it takes seriously. So, in construction stores there are a huge number of varieties of insulation. But, this is a basic problem, since each type of insulation has certain characteristics, properties. Thus, one of the most important issues, the construction of a private house is, - what insulation to choose for a frame home need to choose?

Categories and types of existing insulation

To date, there are a total of several main categories of insulation: artificial insulation, as well as natural. The first category includes such natural materials, as:

• chips of wood bark;
• peat;
• tyrsa;
• straw and other natural materials.

• styrofoam;
• mineral wool;
• polystyrene foam;
• equata.

Advantages and disadvantages of various insulation for a skeleton house

It should be paid to the fact that all materials that are suitable for the category of natural insulation are ecologically cleaner than artificial insulation. However, they have enough serious cons. Such minuses include the fact that natural insulation flammable, they have a high level of moisture absorption, thermal insulation characteristics of natural insulation are lower than those of artificial. Based on this, artificial materials are used much more wider and more often used.

Advantages and disadvantages of artificial insulation

Previously, the most widely used as a heater - foam. This is argued by the fact that this material is very convenient when laying, as well as the fact that the foam is sufficiently inexpensive insulation for a frame house. In the realms of modernity, this material is no longer so popular, but in order to save money, many are used by many during the construction of a skeletal house. The main advantages of the foam is the ease of material, the convenience of installation, the absence of the absorption property of moisture. However, there is a large drawback - the foam is easily flammable, and during the burning also allocates poisonous pairs and black smoke. In addition, foam sheets, though comfortable and lungs, but at the same time are too fragile, which complicates their transportation and face.

At this time, in many frame houses use mineral balsation cotton wool, as the insulation of the house. The most popular basalt plates Rocklaight and Rockvul. In essence, it is a unique material that is sold with dense stoves or in the form of fresh long and wide sheets. In the balsade cotton, there are small air layers, which allows the material to breathe and in the event that somehow the insulation is a winking, these interlayers of the air allows him to dry, therefore - the insulation does not rot. In addition, Vata has amazing heat-saving properties and sound insulation.

However, this insulation, unfortunately, there are also some drawbacks. Balzat cotton wool even dries if he scored humidity and does not rot, but still humidity does not like. This is argued by the fact that during wetting and drying, the mineral wool begins to deform, distort it, which entails the formation of voids and, accordingly, a decrease in thermal insulation and sound insulation properties. It is for this reason that during the insulation of the home mineral wool, use waterproofing from the outside, as well as steam isolated from the inside. In addition, small particles of mineral wool are very harmful to humans and easily spread throughout the house, for this reason, from the inside of the frame houses, the walls are additionally overlapped with polyethylene.

Per last years You can see the tendency that extruded expanded polystyrene is increasingly and more often used as insulation for walls of frame houses. This material has advantages over balzat wool, they consist that the fpopleter is a water-repellent material, as well as he better characteristics By thermal insulation. In addition, the polystyreneol does not fall under the category of combustible materials and is not a fragile material that can easily break or deform. It is more profitable, rather than the usual foam. However, the main advantage of this insulation is that it is very durable, since even thirty or fifty years will not need to replace the insulation in the house. By the cons of this material include the fact that he has a fairly high cost and its sound insulation characteristics leave much to be desired.

On the market building materialsRecently turned out to be a new insulation for a skeleton house called "Polyopo Folarity". This material is very similar to polystipolitis, as it has high refractory, does not lose its properties in the temperature and humidity drops, and also does not have harmful substances for the human body. In addition, the structure of this material makes it possible to choose the density of the insulation for the skeleton house.

Many who have already built their homes, decided to make the insulation of the skeleton house of Eco-sky. This material includes components such as: antipirine (7%), antiseptic (12%), cellulose (81%). Equata, as the insulation has a huge advantage over mineral wool, as it does not have toxic elements in its composition, which negatively affects the health of people. In addition, due to the fact that there are cellulose in the composition - this material has high refractoriness and is able to withstand even open fire. The only and basic disadvantage of EcoWati is that it is necessary to hire special equipment for its installation. However, such a minus is overlapped by the fact that after installation, the house will be fully protected from environmental impacts.

What kind of choose the insulation?

Based on the above, it can be concluded that the main factor when choosing a heater for a frame house is the size of the cash, which are intended for the construction of the house. In the event that the capital is sufficiently zuda, then you should pay attention to the cheaper insulation, but it is not necessary to forget that the cheap insulation has a smaller service life. At the same time, newer and expensive insulation require solid investments. Therefore, before purchasing the material for the insulation of a frame house, it is recommended to initially calculate the necessary volume of the insulation, to reduce the flow loan, and then consult from the seller regarding the subtleties of characteristics and what is the best insulation for a frame house.

I would like to draw attention to the fact that the construction of a frame house makes it possible to significantly save on the basis of - the foundation of the house, since the structures built by frame technology They differ ease and do not require massive foundations.

It is also strongly recommended to pay attention to the calculations of the required amount of the insulation, since only with the exact installation and the necessary amount of insulation, the walls of 20 centimeters will not give up thermal insulation by brick or stone walls with a thickness of one meter. However, if the accuracy of the installation or the required amount of material will be inaccurate, then the properties and characteristics of the insulation will decrease.

In addition to the main material for the construction of a skeleton house, it is also no need to forget about the mandatory use of vapor barrier and waterproofing films, as they are also part of the system of insulation of the house and its protection against the environment.
