Wall warming is an important stage of any repairs
Even the most successful repair will not causePositive emotions if the apartment is cold and damp. Warming of the walls is one of the essential components of the construction of the house or major repairs in the apartment. From the correctness of the performance of warming depends the comfort of further living in the room.
There are three strategies for placing a heater for walls: external, internal and insulation, arranged inside the wall.
Warming of walls outside
External insulation is advantageous in that it savesPlace inside the room, provides additional soundproofing of the building, protects the walls from destruction, prevents freezing. Due to external insulation in the room it becomes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
The most common insulation is from the outside withUsing foam. First, the facade is thoroughly cleaned and plastered with defects. Set the start profiles. It is important that there are gaps between them for temperature expansion. Next, stick the foam plates on the facade. They are laid as close as possible, and the seams between them are sealed. Plates are fixed with dowels and reinforce corners. Wall plastered, strengthened with a mesh, resistant to alkali, and applied decorative coating.
The most modern material for outdoor useInsulation - extruded polystyrene foam. It is somewhat more expensive than foam, but its thermal conductivity is much lower and the thickness of the layer necessary for warming is less. It is not damaged by mice, does not burn, does not absorb moisture. The technology of its installation is the same as for foam.
Even for the insulation of facades use mineral wool. This heater is durable, not damaged by rodents, fire resistant, but expensive, hygroscopic and requires special skills for installation.
Insulation of walls from the inside
If it is impossible to insulate the wall from outside, applyInternal insulation. This method is less preferable, since improper insulation from the inside can worsen the situation, adding to the cold even dampness. In addition, the area of the room is decreasing, sometimes quite noticeably.
Begin warming the room is recommended withThe fullest drying of the walls. Also do not forget about the antifungal treatment. It is necessary to carefully prepare the surface under the heater so that after its installation no voids remain. The material used for internal insulation should be vapor-insulating, or it is necessary to provide vapor barrier in other ways.
For internal insulation, too, useFoam and extruded polystyrene foam. Install them on the glue. It is very important that the joints are as small as possible, and they are well-fitted and sealed.
There are also a number of liquid heaters thatApply to a previously cleaned flat surface with several layers. It is not possible to significantly heat a room with their help, but if there is no way to allocate enough space for a thermal insulation device, this is the best option. Such heaters do not burn and are not affected by mold.
Warming inside the wall
If the area of the room allows, sometimes build an additional thin wall. The internal space between the outer and the constructed wall is filled with heat-insulating materials.
It should be noted that often to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room, it is necessary to insulate not only the walls, but also the floor, and sometimes the roof.
