You built a house outside the city. It's not a house, it's a miracle, because everything is done by oneself. And beautiful it turned out, and cozy. But the trouble is - it's cold in this wonderful house. And the walls are insulated, and the material is the most effective, and from below the cold pervades, the floor as icy. Probably, you forgot about the warming of the socle.
Hundreds, and even thousands of builders-loversthey are faced with this problem. If the house is built by a professional company, then everything is taken into account. And the insulation of the socle here is not in last place. But the amateur builders sometimes do not have enough knowledge and skills to do everything the same way. But still let's figure out how and in what reality this warming is carried out.
First, let us remember a little physics. There is such a thing as thermal conductivity. Some materials are higher, others lower. In concrete it is very high. And the foundation is reinforced concrete blocks, then the floor slabs are made of the same material.
According to a very simple scheme, heat from the first floorthrough slabs of overlapping falls on the foundation, and then into the ground. And this scheme is not only simple, but also trouble-free. How much the first floor is not drowned, in a very short time all the heat will go away. That's why you need to "slow down" it. Than?
Insulation or thermal insulation are different:
Expanded polystyrene is the most versatile insulation that:
Therefore, the insulation of the socle with extruded polystyrene foam is the best option for a private house. You can insulate the plinth from the inside or outside. But it is better from two sides.
It is the insulation of the cap from the outside - a very important factor in improving the comfort of your home. These works must be carried out during construction. But even if the house is already built, it is possible to make the basement insulation. To do this, proceed as follows:
Insulation of the plinth from the inside is an additional measure to external insulation and a guarantee that your house will be warm and cozy. How it's done:
To complete the work, it remains to insulate the slabs of the floor. It is not difficult:
Of course, if the house is already built, the work willmore time consuming. It is necessary to raise the floors, make warming, collect them again. If the heater under the floor is, it is advisable to insulate the slabs of the overlap on the other side - from the basement. The technology of work execution remains unchanged.
