Construction is not easy and responsible work. After all, as you build it, so it will serve you. During construction, attention is drawn to all the details, from the material used to the smallest screw and cloves. Everyone knows that the walls require insulation, but no less important, in the general thermal insulation of the house, there is also insulation of the attic. In this case, this item should not be neglected, even if according to your plan the attic is a non -residential zone. After all, if your attic is not insulated, then you will face such circumstances as penetration into the house of cold air from the street, and with the fact that the warm air of your house will go through it.
First of all, insulation of the attic must be started with insulation of the slopes of the roof, floor and pediments. But the most important thing is the waterproofing of the roof. Without this procedure, thermal insulation will not be able to perform the functions assigned to it and subsequently collapse due to moisture acting on it, penetrating into the attic space.
For insulation, as a rule, the following materials are used: mineral wool, barriers, vapor barrier films, mineral mats and you can even use polystyrene foam. Mineral wool at the moment is a very common material, it has low heat resistance and density, but resistant to high temperatures, chemical influences and is a good sound insulator. Mineral mats are mainly used for insulation of slopes and fronts, their elasticity gives more opportunities when laying. Pobes are used to control humidity and protect the penetration of steam inside the insulation. Vapor barrier films perform the same functions. The insulated attic is the savings on the heating of the house, as well as the opportunity to subsequently redo the attic into the living room.
