How to insulate ceilings in the apartment Penoplex
To insulate the ceiling, correctly laid insulation material from the attic. In this case it is possible to keep the level of the ceiling surface smokers as high as possible. But thermal insulation works in a similar apartment is impossible. And we have to use heaters that combine a small thickness with maximum thermal insulation. One of them is penoplex. How to handle it properly?
1. Preparation for Thermal insulation work
Penoplex thickness may be different. However, the minimum rate in this case is 5 cm. If the owner believes enough and slight warming, it can take advantage of just such plates. Ceiling surface will decrease slightly, but the living conditions will be more comfortable.
Also preparation suggests that old material is removed with a rough surface, and the detected cracks or crevices obscure solution.
2. Installation skeleton under insulation
Of course, you can simply glue the foam sheets, but then it will be difficult to carry out finishing work in the future. Because of this, much better to first establish a framework structure. To create it using bars of the same thickness as that penoplex. That is, in this case - 5 cm.
The bars mounted along the perimeter of the ceiling surface. Then they fastened across the room. Step arrangement of bars is selected to be smaller than the width used Penoplex plates. Then, later with laying thermal insulation material will have no problems.
3. Laying thermal insulation on the frame
If at this point the owner did not make any mistakes, with laying Penoplex no problems. Plates are placed in a span, remaining between the bars. They may not even require additional fixation, as they will hold a fairly reliable. But you can still grab their anchors with wide hats or cramps.
4. finishing activities
Now a layer of insulation to hem the rough material for subsequent tiling. As a material suitable for plating plasterboard panel MDF or OSB. They are attached to the frame, the remaining stitches shpatljujut using a small amount of the composition.
Before decorative works will be primed with a skin and wait for it to dry. In the future, you can apply the paint, pokleit wallpaper, vinyl or polyurethane tile and other not too heavy building materials.
