Warming of the house from a bar outside: options for

Structures from a bar perfectly keep heat and practically do not need an additional heater. However, if the building is located in a cold climate zone, then professional craftsmen advise to take care of additional protection and to carry out the insulation of the house from the bar outside.

The technology of this process will be discussed in this publication.

Types of protection from cold

When there is a conversation about how the insulation of the walls of a wooden house is made from a bar outside and how you can insulate a similar structure, you can opt for three options. In this case, two of them will protect the appearance of the building.

Fitting

This method, some masters consider the most reliable and high quality:

• It lies in the fact that first on the walls of the building install a crate of wooden slats or metal profiles.
• Then it is necessary to choose the type of material that will be used to insulate the timber. However, its price can not be considered the main indicator.

• First of all, it is necessary to focus on specific climatic conditions. However, if the master decided on sewing to the detriment of appearance, then this implies that it is necessary to use a material with maximum protective qualities.
• It is best to use mounting foam. The fact is that it is not only a quality insulation, but also creates a seal, protecting it from moisture and extraneous noise.
• Mineral wool or expanded polystyrene sheets are also great.

• If you are warming a log house outside with your own hands, then you need to take care of fixing material for a particular type of insulation.
• It should be noted that many heaters very poorly tolerate moisture and when saturated with water, they almost completely lose their quality. Therefore, professional craftsmen recommend installing a vapor barrier on the walls of a log house and waterproofing on top of the protective material.
• At the final stage sewing is made. To do this, use any available material, fixing it on the crate.

Tip! Some masters recommend applying a special impregnation on the wooden surface before installing the insulation to protect against moisture. This will also provide additional protection against the appearance of fungi or mold.

Insulation of joints

• Considering that the wood itself perfectly retains heat, and the width of the walls in such buildings reaches even 250 mm, the external insulation of the log house can be made minimal.
• To begin with, when laying the crowns, it is necessary to install a special gasket between the material, which will simultaneously serve as insulation and protection from cold.
• After the building is completed, it is necessary to further treat all joints, sealing with a special tool or sealant.

• Next, the walls of the house covered with impregnation, which protects from moisture and fire. It will fill the porous structure of the material, additionally creating a seal.
• It should be noted that such warming of houses from a bar outside is ineffective, but at the same time it in combination with wood provides very tangible protection. It does not spoil the appearance of the structure, which is created by the structure of the material.

Tip! If the thickness of the timber is 250 mm, then such insulation can be used even if the structure of a timber house is located in a cold climate. Also, it is suitable for areas with mild winters or for southern latitudes.

Liquid insulation

• This material appeared relatively recently. At the same time, he is considered one of the most promising and is gaining popularity every day.
• It is worth noting that such insulation of walls from a bar outside is quite easy to make independently. The fact is that this material has a liquid consistency and is applied to the surface like paint in several layers.
• You should also pay attention to the fact that it does not spoil the appearance of the building, hiding its structure, like products from logs. If you add a little dye to its composition, then in the end you can get a very beautiful structure.

• Separately, it is worth mentioning that a layer of liquid insulation in 3 mm can completely replace the mineral wool of 10 cm thickness.
• Such a coating at the same time has excellent resistance to moisture, direct exposure to sunlight, fire, and can serve as protection from extraneous noise.
• Before you make this insulation wall lumber house outside you need to prepare the surface. For this, all joints are additionally sealed and, if possible, filled with their sealant.
• The next step is to make an impregnation treatment in order to increase the level of adhesion of the material.

• Then you can apply insulation to the walls.
• It should be noted that this material can be used even in winter, but it does not tolerate high humidity at the installation stage. Therefore, all work should be done only in dry weather.
• It must be remembered that for effective protection you will need to apply several layers with an interval of at least 12 hours. Therefore, you should choose the time, focusing on weather conditions.
• The installation manual recommends using a spray bottle to create even layers. It is also necessary to use protective equipment to prevent the composition from getting on the skin or eyes.

Tip! This method of insulation today can be called one of the simplest and at the same time effective. He copes with his task and at the same time is an additional protection from moisture and harmful insects.

Additional Information

• First of all, it should be said that the technology of warming a timber house outside is considered the most correct, although most people think that this work should be done from the inside. The fact is that in this way condensate will not form in the wall, which will lead to the appearance of mold and fungus.
• Internal insulation, on the contrary, cannot ensure the correct placement of the dew point, which means that in its application it is necessary to additionally use vapor barrier and other methods to combat condensate.

• When working with assembly foam, summer types of this material should be used, since they have a certain coefficient of expansion, which is very easy to control. There are also special devices created specifically for this work.
• Liquid insulation can be different. Therefore, it is necessary before buying it carefully study the instructions for its use. In this case, special attention is paid to such a parameter as the thickness of the required layer.
• When external warming of the house is carried out when using a batten, an air gap must be created between the vapor barrier and the insulation. It will not allow condensate to collect on the material, and therefore protects it.

Tip! Choosing a particular method of installation, you need to study in detail the process of his work, and become familiar with all the properties of the material. This will provide a detailed picture of all the necessary actions.

Conclusion

In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic. Also on the basis of the text that is presented above, we can conclude that there are several types of external insulation of walls for buildings from a bar. In addition, each of them has its own unique properties and features that affect the final price of construction and quality of installation.
