Warming bath: how to do it properly
Insulation provides comfortable washing bath and naturally the reduction of fuel consumption. Therefore, preparation for the construction of this beloved Russians institutions must be accompanied by a thorough thinking through the options and tools that allow it to warm up quickly and for a long time to maintain the existing warmly. Experience shows that the most effective insulation inside the bath.
This article we are going to devote to issues of thermal insulation of various structural elements of the bath and the materials that are able to provide it with maximum efficiency.
Materials that provide effective insulation bath
For use in the bath is suitable not far each heater. By choosing the right material, it should be assumed that it must be:
- environmentally friendly;
- non-hygroscopic;
- water resistant;
- thermally stable;
- able to retain its shape;
- nonflammable.
Insulation materials of chemical origin
Most heaters chemical origin is suitable for use in baths. Most often, they are presented with polystyrene foam, although if sufficient funds can afford warm bath and foam glass.
Traditional organic insulants
From time immemorial Russian people applied for warming hemp bath, moss and hemp. Their use continues to this day, along with already managed to catch the fancy of natural jute.
However, with moss should be careful and try to still avoid it because it can cause the appearance of mold and mildew.
mineral wool insulation
wall insulation bath inside is often done in such a mineral wool insulation as rockwool, which can be used as convenient to use soft plates. Advantages heaters consist of mineral origin in their environmental and fire safety, and non-hygroscopic.
Thermal insulation of the ceiling in the bath
It is best suited for ceiling insulation rock wool, which is also recommended for the walls. Complement the stone wool must be foiled paroizolyatorom. Stacking material is produced as follows:
- ceiling is lined with a paper roll, which is mounted on top of a crate;
- lathing fit between slats basalt insulation;
- attached to the crate facing the rack;
- the entire surface of the ceiling is sewn facing material.
Upon completion of the work is done with the ceiling wall insulation bath.
How to make the inside wall insulation bath mats using
Optimal in all respects, including price setting, are fiberglass mats. Their installation in the following order:
- on the walls are fixed with a step 60cm wooden bars;
- between the bars stacked mats foil side into the room;
- If the mats are not foil, the foil should be laid on top of the mat;
- Rooms' resulting insulation paneling made.
Warming of the floor in the bath
Rather large teploutechki are taking place across the floor. For its insulation is most often used expanded clay, which does not occur any mold or condensation. Backfilling material is produced, usually between the floor joists. In that case, when the floor is concrete in the bath, it expanded clay insulation is performed in the following order:
- stacked first concrete layer;
- after complete drying thereon crumbles expanded clay layer 8 cm;
- a second layer of concrete reinforcement to be mandatory, is laid over the expanded clay;
- the resulting structure is covered with cement-sand screed.
Thermal insulation of roofs
The composition of the roof insulation is clearly represented in the above scheme, and does not require explanation. In cases where the bottom of the roof condensation, the floor attic it is advisable to warm expanded clay, having covered his Pergamino.
To the attic could move freely, spilled concrete block coated with clay and are covered with boards.
Windows and doors also require insulation
The presence of cracks in the structure of these elements may cause large teploutechek. Even with a well thought out design of the installation of windows you should pay attention to the following points:
- the presence of leakage when installing glazing. To do this, you can use a silicone sealant;
- place installation of windows if they are lower, the heat loss through them is much less.
Of course, the best solution is to use double-glazed windows.
Entrance doors baths should insulate any available materials at hand. To reduce heat loss from the steam room, the size of doors in this room should be reduced to an acceptable minimum.
Fulfilling all of these works, it should be remembered that the warming of the bath should be done comprehensively. Insulate one item, we can not forget about the other. If this requirement is met if all operations are carried out correctly, the heat in the bath will be maintained for a long time.
