natural (jute fiber, felt) and synthetic (foam penouritan) - Two types of materials used in roof insulation. Eco materials require great effort during assembly, while artificial provide a simple mounting scheme.
- Installing insulation system
- Roof insulation baths made according to the standard instructions:
- isolate the inlet of the chimney;
- establish a waterproofing layer;
- put a heater;
- that the insulation of the roof;
- spend finish (if processing is involved attic).
The preliminary stage of the chimney insulation is required and guarantees the safety of future work. For these purposes, use of asbestos.
waterproofing
To securely locks waterproofing layer, it is attached to the sheathing and truss system with a special stapler. Quality provides waterproofing membrane material - it prevents the penetration of air into the building.
When laying the membrane it is important to keep the clearances ventilated area in 1-2 centimeters. They will not allow condensation to build up on the surface of materials. If you neglect this step, the design will be constantly wet. This effect is explained by the contrast in temperature inside and outside the bath. Wetting lead to decay and destruction.
insulation
There are several types of heaters - matte slab, roller, spray. Each of them involves their installation techniques:
- mineral wool close fit in the gaps between the rafter. Above it is fixed by means of plastic strips, pre-attached to the rafters stapler;
- roll insulation roll out bands between neighboring rafters. Top rolls fixed vapor barrier. This layer will provide protection for a heater from exposure to moisture and high temperatures;
- Styrofoam and does not require a vapor barrier - it is enough to stick to the surface of the rafters;
penouritan often used for roof insulation due to its affordability. It is sprayed on the treated surface by special devices. The material does not leave any cold bridges in the form of rafters and does not require a vapor barrier. By spraying monolithic structure is achieved, eliminating gaps.
If the roof provides the attic, after the primary cycle of works performed additional crate. The internal construction or lining is sewn GOLS.

folk heaters
Modern heaters are characterized by their high cost. An alternative to store-bought tools are popular materials. There are two main types of "natural" insulation:
clay with sawdust: the mixture intended to be applied to the roof truss part layer of 3-5 cm. Work is carried out only on warm days without precipitation. Mixture requires precise compliance instructions and drying for half weeks;
felt: material well-kept warm and easy to install. The main disadvantage lies in the absorption of moisture. His strips are attached to the sheathing and rafter system using a stapler. Material connected overlap. Natural felt is expensive, because of which are rarely used.
