Thermal insulation of the ceiling in the bath. 5 Proven Ways time

I used to work with modern materials. But the fashion for healthy lifestyles and fanatical care about the environment is different. Private developers are interested in "natural" building technologies. Where to find them? Remember how our forefathers built.

He picked up five ways insulation of the ceiling in the bath, which performed well in practice.

Planed boards

The most budget option for warming - a clay castle + chips.

Knead a solution of clay with chopped straw or wood chips (just chips! not fine sawdust with ribbons). Laid on a layer of 3-5 cm overlap. This pilot controlled check valve.

Above the clay layer pour pure sawdust for insulation. The thickness of 15-20 cm and above. Depending on your region and your desire to keep the temperature inside.

Digging the earth

When building materials were in short supply, our grandfathers were placed on overlapping turfs. Be sure the grass down. The required insulation values ​​achieved, on top of a mound of soil.

I found photos from removing such slabs. Boards whole! I do not know how it works... probably herb acts as a vapor barrier, and the ground in turn holds heat.

It is important in such structures do not forget about the weight of the soil and the carrying capacity of the beams.

raking leaves

At poured overlap of about 10 cm a dry foliage from trees. Top 20-50 cm of sand, peat or less land. Under the weight of "insulation" leaves compressed into a dense carpet and insulation retains moisture.

Unfortunately, the leaves can produce an unpleasant odor in the steam room.

Zhgem clay

Overlapping fall asleep with a thin layer of clay, which serves as a hydraulic lock. Sypem top layer of expanded clay, the desired thickness of heat engineering. According to the expanded clay necessarily screed: clay or cement-sand.

Expanded clay granules are large enough. Heat goes through the nip therebetween. Screed seals the space.

isolate cotton wool

The modern approach to insulation - mineral or rock wool. That it does not zamokala under insulation necessarily laying vapor barrier membrane. But if you do wrong, rotting wooden filing, and sometimes overlapping beams. How warm bath, not to zamokala rockwool, I told in a separate article.

On this I have everything. Thank you for reading! And if the article was interesting for you, subscribe to the channel. Best thanks - your 👍 Like and repost.
