Bath plank ceiling type is a simple structure, applied in small steam rooms home use. Attic in baths with by flat ceiling can not be used due to the floor construction.
Plank ceiling well-kept warm for a long time keeping it indoors and without releasing steam. In addition, it is the most financially advantageous option. Let us consider the design itself and the technology its installation.
design Features
Plank ceiling consists of thermal insulation, vapor barrier and boards. Fit all of these layers are not on the floor beams, as in the case of the false ceiling, and on the upper harness exterior walls. Framework, which will hold a pie here is not provided for: the rough boards, as a rule, be able to handle the load.
Important! The width of the space, equip by flat ceiling should not exceed 250 cm.
The main feature plank ceiling that used insulation is closing link and nothing further is not hiding.
mount technology
Process begins with placing the blank on the upper harness boards walls. The elements are interconnected crate of bars for strength. To trim black design mounted with screws or nails.
A further algorithm:
- Installation of thermal insulation. On board is laid mineral wool or glass wool. For comfortable use steam, the insulation layer must be at least 150-200 mm. It is not necessary to buy the thickest insulation: simply put it in several layers with offset.
- Mounting diffuse membrane. From the steam to fasten the boards insulation film using fixation staple gun or thin nails. The membrane is laid with an overlap in 10-15 cm, The joints are sealed with adhesive tape mounting.
- Decorative ceiling paneling. Most often used for this purpose wooden paneling. The material is excellent at trapping heat inside the building, practical and inexpensive. On vapor barrier stuffed lathing and directly attached thereto padding.
At arrangement plank ceiling, pay special attention to the junction of the insulating material: between bands or plates should be no gaps. Otherwise, all the work will be in vain, and soon will have to redo the work.
