Comfortable room - the guarantee of health
It is this space has specific properties, so it is important to properly approach the issue of repair. This will not only improve health, but will also provide a boost of energy and a good mood every morning.
Optimum conditions in this room should have the characteristics:
- normal temperature indicators;
- absence of moisture;
- good sound insulation.
Measures to achieve the result
To ensure good repair is necessary to pay attention to these points:
- the arrangement of the walls;
- ceiling decoration;
- floor construction;
- insulation directly to the bathroom;
- ensure ventilation.
By itself the bathroom also has requirements, such as high thermal insulation, because the low-quality models can quickly release heat environment of water.
Heat preservation using floor
All work starts with the form blasting of the base, the warm floor in the bathroom can be ensured by using various technologies. But at the beginning take action on its waterproofing, it can be a means of an inlet type or penetrating. Many experts prefer liquid rubber, which is enough to apply on the entire surface with a thin layer and give to dry.
Next, insulation of floors is carried out, options using mineral wool or foam is impractical, because for further arrangement of the cafeter, for example, it will be necessary to additionally make a screed. Therefore, the perfect options are the systems of warm floors.
There are three types of structures:
- with the involvement of central heating;
- using an electrical cable;
- laying special mats.
1. The first option is suitable for many consumers because of its economy, however, it is not practical in use. Because it is impossible to control the heat heating temperature, often you have to use rugs or sneakers. The following lack of such a method is the contamination of the supplied water in the pipes, over time the system is precipitated, respectively, the work is violated.
2. The second option involves the use of an electrical cable as the heating element. A professional should be engaged in such a system because you need to properly connect and isolate all contacts. To regulate the heating temperature, the thermostat and sensors are included in the system, first need to decide on the connection and location of the node. The installation of the system begins with alignment of the base of the floor, then the reflector and conductors are placed, the adjustment device is provided. At the end, the whole design is filled with a concrete tie, then the finish coating is already placed.
3. Special mats are a convenient novelty of the market, such a warm floor in the bathroom with its own forces. This will require:
- alignment of the surface;
- fixing electric mats;
- fill base.
To prepare the floor, a new screed is often required, because the surface must be as smooth as possible. Then the mats spread and the sensors are connected, the system operation is checked. Under the finish coating it is necessary to use a special film or pour the screed. To decide how to insulate the floor in the bathroom only to the customer, but it is the third option is considered optimal due to the cost-effectiveness and convenience of operation.
Wall insulation
Bathroom, as well as another room, can be placed near the outside wall of the building, then the problem may begin as early as a few years of living in the house. As a rule, if the walls are constantly blackened from their blows cold, there are drafts. In this case, can not do without additional insulation.
Traditionally used material is polystyrene, and the value of its properties allow qualitatively carry out the necessary measures. Such insulation of walls in the bathroom to provide adequate water and heat insulation.
insulation technology:
- Erect a frame made of metal profiles
- sticking foam
- Closing film
- Screw drywall sheets.
Then you can use any materials for decoration, be it tile or PVC panels.
But because of the thickness of the foam takes a lot of space, taking into account its lack of developed technology with the use of other materials. These include extruded polystyrene and penofol. They have distinctive insulating properties and have a small thickness. Among the shortcomings define only the cost of the materials themselves, but in a small space costs will be quite acceptable.
More and more professionals prefer to apply thermal plaster layer of the insulation of 3cm. But then all the work should be conducted by professional builders. Known methods of fixing are also porous cement-sand mortar, lightweight aggregate concrete slabs and sheets perlibetonnyh.
Ceiling - an important part of the process to keep warm
Do not forget the ceiling design, it will also need to insulate. This is necessary because of the progress of ventilation air, all the heat rising from the bottom up, big losses, respectively, may be it is through the ceiling. In order to keep the heat in the bathroom is fine, hinged ceiling construction with the laying of the insulation layer. This will require:
- The construction of the frame profiles;
- Bonding foam;
- Stitching insulation layer.
Profile selected metal as wood does not differ resistance to moisture. The foam is quite suitable for the construction of the filling, closing it can be plastic panels or plasterboard. It will serve as an excellent decoration of, because what happens is smooth, beautiful surface.
Warming bath
When choosing directly bathroom, many consumers prefer models from steel, they have a beautiful appearance and practical for a low price. But there are also disadvantages, such as the formation of strong noise when setting water and a rapid cooling of the liquid. But such nuances are completely corrected by their own, and the resulting warm bath will delight the owner for many years. This will require such materials and tools:
- foam assembly 3-4 cylinders;
- gun;
- styrofoam;
- stationery knife;
- fiberglass;
- putty;
- glue.
All the work on thermal insulation must be carried out before installing the bathroom, but with a compiled plumbing package. There are videos with a complete description of how to insulate the bathroom, so home masters will not be difficult to do everything yourself.
Course of action:
- To begin with, the bath itself is assembled: the legs, plum siphon;
- It is necessary to turn the bath with legs up, clean the surface from all contaminants;
- Due to the peculiarities of polyurethane foam, it is necessary to wet the entire surface well, it is enough to wipe the wet rag;
- Further, the mounting foam is stacked, it is convenient to draw rows. Before use, the cylinder thoroughly blame, it is possible to hold a little under the jet of warm water;
- Leave empty places near the siphon and overflow;
- A foam is glued on top, for high-quality filling, the sheets are cut into parts. After the foam is frozen, we apply a sealant to the formed slots, then gently cut the excess.
- The last paragraph is to apply fiberglass on special glue, the composition that is selected to work with foam. Cut the fiberglass individual slices, and glued to glue glue. The seams smear the putty and let dry - the insulation of the bath is ready.
Ensuring ventilation - the need
It is important not to forget about the constant ventilation of the room, for this purpose special hoods are offered. They are small devices that are inserted into the entrance to the ventilation hatch. As a result, the mechanism itself is hidden under the standard lattice, so that the work is felt only by any noise. They are connected to the network to work with simultaneous turning on the lighting or separately. The second option is obtained more economical, if necessary, you can always run the extraction work. Thanks to the applied instructions, the installation of the device will not be difficult for any wizard. Following all the above recommendations, the customer receives a warm bathroom with a healthy atmosphere.
