The construction of your own house is quite a long and time-consuming, especially when performing all the works with your own hands. However, adhere to a certain sequence of specific procedures is required at mandatory. One of the most responsible moments that affects all operating characteristics of the house is the creation of roof thermal insulation. How exactly is it right to do from which materials, find out in this article.

Why make warming roof?

The insulation of the pitched roof helps to avoid many problems:

• The destruction of building materials of the roof under the influence of permanent temperature drops and humidity.
• The loss of heat indoors, and accordingly, an increase in the cost of maintaining the heating system to maintain a stable microclimate.
• Excess or lack of humidity in the house.

Important! Competently made insulation of the roof - a pledge of a long period of high-quality operation of the building.

What to choose the material?

Given the current range of construction products of this direction, it is not always easy to make the right choice. Therefore, initially determine personal requirements for itself in accordance with the following procedures for selector selection criteria for a scope roof:

1. The weight of the material that determines the level of load on the carrying parts of the structure.
2. Thermal conductivity - than it is lower, the better. The optimal indicator for this parameter is not higher than 0.04 W / m⁰c.
3. Resistance to various types of exposure - mechanical and climatic.
4. The possibility of combining with materials used as the main construction element.

What to choose technology?

To correctly perform the insulation of the pitched roof with your own hands, mark the fact that in this case it is acceptable exclusively internal design. The features of the technology are to consistently and correctly lay several layers of a suitable material:

• waterproofing film;
• directly insulation of the pitched roof of the penplex or other selected material;
• creating vaporizolation.
  

  Important! Consider, on how much you comply with the clarity of the sequence, and the strength of the attachment of each layer, the quality of thermal insulation completely depends.

Montage rules

Before insulationing the scope roof with your own hands, read the general rules that will need to be observed during the fulfillment of all works:

1. The ventilation gaps are unacceptably overlapping the heat insulation layer, since precisely due to the presence of free space, the excess moisture is removed through specially intended for this elements of the roofing system - gutter and drainage.
2. When using a tiled insulating material, the joints of the joints determine in advance so that they are in a checker order.
3. The number of layers of the roll material is determined by the required thermal insulation thickness of 20-30 cm. For example, if you use the web, the thickness of which is 8-10 cm, then it will be necessary to form at least 2, and better than 3 layers.

Not allowed:

• free and loose laying of the insulation between rafters;
• non-uniformity of the layer;
• rales in the layers of heat, hydro and vaporizolation.

Progress:

1. Inspect the rafter system attentively for defects and damage to the structural material.
2. Correct the flaws in the case of unreliable seats.
3. Check the condition of engineering systems, in particular, wiring and tap line.
4. When damaged, correct or replace individual parts of the chain.
5. Implement the antiseptic processing of all parts of the roof design.
   Important! To carry out all the work on the installation of thermal insulation, select a day with clear dry weather.
6. Create an additional crate in a step of 30-40 cm from wooden rails, a cross section of 5 cm, in case the ventilation gap between the main crate and the blade is disadvantaged.
7. Make across the rods waterproofing film, in the bottom upward, that is, the upper part is superimposed on the bottom.
   Important! Hold the intervals of the admission at 10-20 cm. The length of the canvas is determined more than the length of the span to leave the gap for the attachment.
8. Secure the mounting ribbon.
9. Make steps measure rafters or clamps.
10. When using a leaf insulation, make the preliminary cutting parts in such a way that the width exceeds the step of the rafter.
    Important! With this approach, you can easily create the most sealed coating, tightly adjacent to the crate without gaps.
11. Place all the sheets, adhering to the preliminary plan for the organization of the joints.
    Important! When using a rolled, bulk or extruded material, fill the space between the rafters and the shell boards.
12. Separate attention to decide the design of the space near the chimney and auditory windows.
13. Secure sheets with mounting tape or fishing line and nails.
    Important! If necessary, create another layer of the insulation so that the joints of the two coatings do not coincide.
14. Fill the gaps with mounting foam when laying foam or similar rigid material.
15. Place over the insulation a vaporizolation canvas, withstanding the same backstage, as in the installation of the waterproofing film.
16. Secure it with roofing nails or with a bracket and stapler.
17. Shakes stripes stick with mounting ribbon.
18. Cut the ceiling by any selected decorative material.

Conclusion

As you have already been convinced, the process of creating the heat insulation of the roof is not difficult, although it is characterized by some time consideration. Be sure to choose only high-quality materials, follow the rules of technology and you will be able to achieve a great indicator of heat power in the house. In this case, you will not only provide a comfortable and stable microclimate, but also be surprised by an additional result in the form of reducing the cost of maintaining the heating system.
