Для создания комфортных условий проживания в доме it is necessary to solve the issue of heat conservation in it. In addition to thermal insulation of the floor and walls of the house, it is also necessary to insulate the ceiling. More than 50% of heat can escape through it. A warm ceiling in the house will reduce heat loss and reduce the cost of heating it in the cold season.
Scheme of insulation of roof and ceiling. In order to do this work correctly, it is necessary to know how to do it? It can be insulated in 3 ways:
- from the inside of the room;
- outside (from the attic space);
- method of combined insulation (inside and outside).
Various materials can be used as thermal insulation. The most common of them are:
- various types of mineral wool (roll or in the form of plates);
- expanded polystyrene;
- expanded clay;
- warm slag;
- sawdust;
- warming mixtures based on clay and various polymer impurities.
Insulation, vapor barrier and ventilation schemeresidential attic. It is not difficult to make a warm ceiling with your own hands. First, you need to measure its area and prepare the necessary material. To perform the work, you will need the following material and tool:
- heat-insulating material;
- vapor barrier film;
- waterproofing material;
- bars measuring 50x50 mm;
- a hacksaw on wood;
- knife for cutting insulation;
- perforator;
- a hammer;
- dowels;
- self-tapping screws and nails;
- building stapler.
External insulation
Insulation of the attic from the inside and outside.If the attic in the house is not used as a loft space, the best option would be to make external insulation from the attic side. To do this, you need to:

Scheme of the main heat losses of buildings.It is necessary to take into account that when installing an insulating layer from inside the room, the height of the ceiling will be reduced by its thickness. The best option is to install insulation when creating suspended or stretch ceilings. In this case, the insulation material is placed between the ceiling and the surface of the ceiling finish. Mineral wool in the form of slabs is used as insulation when using it indoors. It can be attached to the ceiling surface in 2 ways: with glue or inside the frame. When gluing, the following order of work must be observed:
When installing inside the frame, the order of work is as follows:
An insulated ceiling will create comfortable living conditions in the house, significantly reduce heat loss and allow you to save money on energy bills.
