Insulate the floor in a wooden house

I tell the story of life in a time of celebration May 9 is one of the floor boards collapsed under their feet. He climbed into the cellar and found that the two beams, the entire subfloor, the insulation and the very edge of the board finished floor rot or fungus covered deep layer.

It was a disaster.

In emergency mode dismantled and burned in the yard all the rotten elements. Next on my experience step by step tell you how to properly insulate the floor of the wooden house.

1. Treat all load-bearing elements ognebiozaschitoy (10-liter can costs around 1,000 rubles).This liquid colors tree in red, and you can easily see the raw elements of wood.

2. Isolate the place of contact of wooden beams and roofing material foundation. I put roofing felt in two layers, and the gap remaining between the wall and the foundation beam filled with foam, so reliable.

3. On the side surfaces of the beams nail bars, it is important to do to fix them at the same height. To help - the water level.

4. Place the plank on the sub-floor bars between the joists.

It makes no sense to spend money on planks: insulation is very light.

5. Stacked on top of transversal boards spreads a breathable membrane laid on it a layer of insulation (I recommend 10-15 cm).

6. Layer insulation cover with the same membrane (Namely porous breathable, not a film, as in my case).

7. On top of the film I put the floor boards (fortunately, most boards do not rot), and on top of the boards - 16 mm polished plywood and linoleum.
