Operating conditions bath differ significantly from the other buildings. In the room with the highest level of humidity is a colossal burden on the finishing and construction materials. It is known that properly insulated roof to steal 25% of heat through the ceiling. How did it correctly warmed to room retains heat to the max? The choice of materials and advice on the construction - on.

bath roof can be made in two versions: with or without attic space it. In the first case, the air layer can trap heat already, but that does not mean that such a roof does not require additional thermal protection. Roof, not having exploited the attic, almost always in need of insulation. Consider the features of insulation bath Ceiling most commonly used materials.

Especially mineral wool

roll wool - the low-end, versatile and popular thermal insulation. It retains heat well, has three types: glass, slag and basalt. In spite of its naturalness of the material can not be a breeding ground for fungi, mold and other microorganisms. The material is not prone to fire and is not afraid of sharp temperature spikes. Since it is convenient to operate.

A major shortcoming of mineral wool is that it is afraid of water, and therefore requires maximum isolation.

Bulk insulation is environmentally friendly as it is made of porous clay. The material is durable, not afraid of fire and does not absorb moisture, prevents the development of microorganisms and is inexpensive. In addition, the expanded clay is among the most durable insulation material.

The main condition for the use of expanded clay in the ceiling insulation bath - the presence of the exploited attic. Also, insulation can be produced during the construction phase.

Main characteristics of foam

Sheet insulation has long been a leader among similar materials. Styrofoam not afraid of water and refers to Budget content. Like the other above-described materials, the material prevents the development of mold and mildew and can last for many years with proper installation and use.

Only some time later, with the advent of alternative became apparent obvious disadvantages of foam. For example, the material can not be called fireproof. When the foam burns, it releases toxins.

Instructions on bath ceiling insulation

Process insulation device bath ceiling above materials has almost no difference, although the specifics of each individual heater. Even the fact that some heaters are not afraid of moisture, does not give the right to ignore the use hydroprotective barrier.

Almost all the work is done from the roof:

  • Blanketed vapor barrier on the joists and lath material fix clamps.
  • Between joists on kontrobreshetku laying insulation or fall asleep. It can be put on the glue, or do without fixation.
  • Blanketed attic floor hydroprotective film fasten her stapler.
  • If the attic is exploited, the waterproofing is better to lay an additional plywood, OSB boards or sheets.

All joints of the membranes do not forget prokleivat aluminum tape. Decorative ceiling finishing one chooses at its discretion.
