Tambour in a private home. Vital, or can not do?

Tambour winter helps keep heat in the house. Architects recommend it often, as the only possible way to create "thermal gateway." But there are other options.

Is it good tambour

Repeatedly I heard the vestibule is credited with magical properties:

• do not let the house cool air;
• 5-20% reduces heating costs;
• It is complete wardrobe, etc.

Let's investigate.

You can not make the temperature in the vestibule is the same as in residential areas. After all, the street comes from steel, the profile of which is frozen in winter. It appears on the metal condensation and frost in the bitter cold and frost. To avoid this, the temperature in the vestibule do 5-10 degrees cooler than in the house. What does it affect?

Wardrobe in such temperature conditions is obtained is not the most comfortable. Going out into the street, it is necessary to wear cool clothes and wet shoes really can not dry out. What happens: took 2-5 sq.m. a wardrobe, but still wear clothes in the house.

Completely isolate the living rooms of the cold air vestibule too can not. See. When we come from the street into the vestibule, the air therein is still cooled. It's not that he strongly warmed up until we remove the shoes and jacket. It means the temperature in the house is still a little lower. The advantage of the other.

Tambour protects against drafts and gusty wind when opening the door. In other words - increases comfort. As for appearance, like it is usually in the dark closet.

Two doors instead of the vestibule

Outside, set a metal, and inside the wooden door. The distance between the webs 300-500 mm. For thermal insulation that is enough. And condensate is not on the steel door.

This solution allows you to make a complete wardrobe in warm residential part. By the way, without prejudice to the common area of ​​the house. It is an excellent complement Heated floor in the corridor. Lost downdrafts of cold air. Clothing and shoes dry out more quickly, and when it is necessary to go out, they are warm. The only drawback - the possibility of a draft. But this can be corrected.

As cut off cold air flow from the front door

Minimize discomfort from drafts when the door is opened can be on the stage of the architectural design. The main rule - do not put the internal doors in front of the house.

Good solution - wardrobe hallway opposite the door. Even if the street a strong wind, the air flow hits the wall and losing speed. Discomfort in other rooms, no one feels.

Another solution - attach the covered terrace to the entrance. In terms of thermal insulation, it turns out the same platform. But instead of the dark "pantry" for clothing and shoes, you get ample space summer holiday.

On this I have everything. I hope the material will help you in setting up front groups. Thank you for reading! If you liked the article, subscribe to the feed and put a finger vverh👍. Let me remind you, we now have the in the VC group. Come on.
