Thermal insulation of floors in stone and wooden houses

In this article, we will "equalize" the two opposing camps: the stone and wooden houses and tell fans how to make insulation slabs in both types of private homes.

If the construction his country house for arrangement of ceiling you choose prefabricated concrete slabs, then you definitely need to make insulation in the following way.

1) mixture of sand and cement fill all the seams and connections possible chipped concrete construction.

2) After the surface leveling promazhte its waterproofing composition, to avoid leakage and mold.

3) After the solidification structure Cover the waterproofing vapor barrier membrane and cover insulation 50-100 mm.

More scheme is shown below:

If you use the heater polymer structure (. Eg, polystyrene), you do not need steam and waterproofing: Synthetic material is not afraid to get wet and mold.

If the insulation boards could not find the right size, it is possible to use two layers material, the main thing - do not forget about the "extensibility" layers joints (joints of the different layers should be based on different locations).

Insulation hiding cement-sand screed, which introduced reinforcing mesh (Metal or plastic).

Further laid floor covering: linoleum, laminate, Tiles, parquet.

Warming of the wooden floor deck

The good news is that in most cases, hardwood floors do not require additional insulation, since the temperature of premises separated by floors (floors) is not much different.

Warm inner lining made from hardwood floors to be only in the presence of warm floors, or to improve the sound insulation. Here's how:

On the beams are fixed joists on top of them - roughing and finishing floors. The free space between the bars closed heater. From underneath the insulation lay a vapor barrier membrane and equipped with a boardwalk for filing finishing the ceiling.
