How to make a ceiling frame house?

Overlapping frame house are of three types, depending on their location:

- Attic floors.
- Sexual overlap.
- Intermediate floors.

Genital floor designs provide strength, attic ceiling and the upper hold insulation and the inner lining are both floor and ceiling.

material floors

For floors frame house is used softwood lumber. Attic and floor support beams and joists. It is on these components bear the main burden at home, which, redistributed, transmitted to the building foundation. Beams and joists made of timber or posed on the edge of the block - the board of 50mm. Often set not one but several boards. The size and type of elements supporting structure is chosen based on the designed load, the magnitude of the span and deflection. All these values ​​can be found in numerous directories on the internet.

load calculation

In order to calculate the load you need to take some data: the masses themselves and variable data - loads that occur as a result of the building. The total mass of overlap between floors with the heaters often ranges from 220 to 240 kg per square meter. Variable load does not exceed one hundred kilograms per square meter. Attic floor slightly heavier because of the large layer of insulation.

Filing and decking

When the beams are installed, they are installed flooring top, bottom mounted filing. Half-floor filing - the easiest, since it is not subject to heavy loads and is designed to keep your weight, a small load of acoustic and decorative ceiling elements. For filing is used various sheet materials: plywood, drywall, fiberboard, and so on.

Filing of the floor and the attic is designed to withstand considerable weight of insulation and some other design elements, so it is made of boards.

Floorings are roughing and finishing, or running. Running the flooring becomes a floor. All decks are mounted on the beam (lag), or by means of resilient spacers. Subfloor mounted with small ventilation gap, running flooring nailed back to back. If the attic is not used, there is an upper deck does not fit.

overlapping layers

All types of floors have roughly the same design structure. On binder stacked waterproofing material (roofing paper, plastic film or something else). Laid top insulation (it may be different: bulk, roll, sputtered, etc.). Floor decks do not require the laying of insulation, it is necessary to lay sound insulation. For these purposes, you can purchase a special acoustic wool.

Mount overlap in any frame house is not difficult. The main thing during installation works accurately comply with all technical regulations, then the house will stand for a long time.
