In the private sector of our vast country there is often wooden buildings. The reason is that the material is relatively affordable, the cost of building one of the most inexpensive.
However, for many remains a mystery, as needed properly insulate those homes. Owners often make blunders, about which I will tell you, dear readers.
The first mistake - the use of polystyrene foam for insulation
Do not think I do not mind styrofoam. For insulation, this option is well suited. Just this synthetic material, but because compatible with the tree bad.
I am inclined to think that wooden structures are the best insulators natural "breathable" materials. I prefer basalt or mineral wool.
But that does not mean you have to collect all bought styrofoam and take it to the dump. It is quite suitable for insulating base or foundation.
The second mistake - warm wooden walls, on which a fungus
Remember that before warming necessarily need to carefully examine all the walls. Surfaces should be completely dry, not damaged by fungus or bugs.
Placing insulation on damp walls, you will create a haven for bacteria. They are there to be happy to live and reproduce. Do not expect that in this house you can live a long time. Most likely, the walls will soon come into disrepair.
I'm warming to changing the logs on which there was a bug. Then two or three times treat all the walls with antiseptic. Next you need to thoroughly dry out the tree. Personally, I prefer the similar work carried out in dry, warm weather.
Remember, if you take as a heater mineral wool, It in no case can not be wetted, it immediately loses its properties. Immediately after the consolidation of its windproof insulation cover film and hold the trim. This protects the material from moisture.
