Insulation of a wooden house from the outside allows not only to provide comfortable living conditions, but also to save on heating in winter. However, it is necessary to deal with this procedure competently, since a violation of technology can lead to the fact that the walls of the building will become unusable very quickly. Therefore, further I will describe in detail how external insulation is performed using two modern technologies.
Features of insulation
First of all, it should be noted that there are two technologies for external insulation of wooden houses:
- hinged (ventilated) facade- the principle of this technology is to mount the frame on the walls, which is subsequently sheathed with siding, clapboard or other finishing material. The insulation is located in the space between the wall and the finishing material.
This technology is the most preferable, as wet work is excluded. In addition, the facade is stronger and more durable; - wet facade- in this case, the walls of the house are pasted over with insulation, after which they are plastered using a special technology.
Below I will tell you how to properly insulate the house in both cases.
Facade preparation
Before insulating a wooden house from the outside, perform the following preparatory work:
- dismantle all attachments that may interfere with work - these are ebbs, visors, window sills, antennas, etc .;
- after that, treat the walls with antiseptic impregnation;
- at the end of the work, it is necessary to fill all interventional gaps with insulation, if any.
You can start warming a wooden house at least a year after its construction, so that the building has time to shrink.
