• bulk;
• bulk;
• sprayed;
• rolled;
• tile.

It should be said that the most popular in our time, insulation includes foam and mineral wool. They allow you to make high-quality thermal insulation buildings quickly, easily and inexpensive.

Another proven material is Penophol. It includes foamed polyethylene and aluminum foil. Penofol has excellent insulating properties, it can be used independently or combine with other coatings to achieve a better effect.

The process of insulation of sex on the veranda will largely depend on how the material you preferred. If you use clamzit, penplex or mineral wool, you will have to equip lags and make a screed.

The heat insulation process of the floor

Preparatory work

Before insulateting the floor on the veranda, it is necessary to all be well planned and calculated. First select the appropriate time to repair. Best of all, if it is later summer or early autumn. At this time, the days are no longer so hot, but still warm enough and dry. Remember that any adhesive compositions do not tolerate frosts, so the temperature on the street must necessarily be a plus.

Deciding with deadlines, make a detailed work plan and calculate the required amount of materials. When buying all necessary funds, it is desirable to take a small supply, about 10-15% of the total amount of materials.

Floor insulation with foam or mineral wool

Very often, the foundation under the veranda is a reinforced concrete structure consisting of plates. It is known that concrete is a very good conductor of cold and dampness. If you put this floor with a linoleum or plywood - on your terrace will always be zray and uncomfortable. To make the room with warm and comfortable, the surface must be thermally insulated. Let's consider in more detail this process:

1. First, dismantle the previous coating.
2. Place the waterproofing layer on top of concrete. For this purpose, you can use rubReroid, the joints between its fragments should be glued with bitumen mastic.
3. Make a carcass on the floor of a thick wooden bar. The distance between individual logs should be the same as the width of the sheets of mineral wool or foam. Before collecting design, wood need to soak antiseptic.
4. When the frame will be ready, it should be put in heat insulating material.
5. If in the process of work in some places gaps were formed, they can be closed using a mounting foam. When it dries, everything will need to be cut off with a knife.
6. The next step you will need to make vaporizolation. It is performed using a special film fastened on the frame. It is fixed with brackets, and the junctions between individual fragments are tapped by scotch.

Warm floor on the veranda

This method of heating premises is quite popular today. The "warm floor" system is represented in two versions: electrical and water design. It should be noted that the terrace is more suitable for the first option, since it can be turned on and off if necessary, without fearing the freezing of the system. This can not be said about the design based on water, it is less practical and afraid of frosts.

It is better to attract specialists to install a warm floor, but if you are sure enough in your abilities, try to cope with the task yourself. Remember also that over the electrical system you need to lay the tile, no flammable materials for this will not fit. One of the advantages of a warm floor is that you will not need to install an additional source of heating on the veranda.

Capital heat insulation of the floor

If you want to thoroughly insulate the floor of your terrace, you will have to make a lot of time and effort. To begin with, you will need to dismantle the coating up to the soil and lay several layers of various materials:

• the first layer is sand;
• on top of it, a concrete screed is done;
• followed by waterproofing, for example, with the maintenance of the rubberoid;
• then the layer of polyplex is placed;
• after that, the surface is again covered by waterproofing material;
• the last step on the floor is laid out the selected coating.

Laying coating

The floor of the veranda can be displayed in two ways:

1. The first option involves laying a layer of plywood over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Plywood is covered with a suitable material: parquet, laminate, linoleum on a polyurethane basis. It should be added that the coating is better to choose solid, because on the veranda often go to shoes.
2. The second way of placing the floor of the terrace - laying of boards. This material not only looks natural and beautiful, but also additionally insulates the room. For wooden flooring, the boards of 75-125 mm wide and a thickness of 30-35 mm are suitable. Before starting installation, the material must be treated with antiseptic composition and dry. After the floor is ready, it should be painted or covered with varnish - it will not only give the surface to a beautiful view, but it will save it from rotting.

Tools and materials

Floor staining is relevant in the event that it is made of wood. So that the new coating serve you as long as possible and did not lose your decorativeness, it needs to be processed. So, what funds may be needed for this process:

Before painting the floor on the veranda, it is necessary to correctly pick up materials. The coating of the terrace has some features: it is often exposed to humidity and temperature differences. That is why ordinary varnishes and paints can not be used for such a floor, which can be used in closed rooms. So that the coverage of the veranda served as long as possible, it is necessary to respond with the choice of the appropriate means.

Special terrace oil has sufficiently good resistance to unfavorable environmental factors. It is used not only for the veranda, but also for marins that are almost constantly exposed to water. It should be noted that you can find several options for this tool. Some oils are used to impregnate wood before it is edited. After applying such a composition of the board should be held for quite a long time. But there are also such brands that can be used for the finished floor of the veranda. Before you buy terraced oil, carefully read the instructions on the product packaging.

If you want to protect the floor of the veranda from moisture and at the same time maintain the natural type of wood, you can use impregnation in combination with varnish. To begin with, the prepared boards are coated with an antiseptic solution, give it to dry, after which the floor is opened with wood varnish. A high-quality waterproof lacquer, which has the property of protection of boards from the effects of ultraviolet rays, will be no suited. But such costs will be justified by the beauty and long service life.

In the event that you do not set the task of preserving the natural surface of the wood coating, you can use acrylic paints as a protective material of different colors. Before applying the board, it is necessary to impregnate with antiseptic composition. When painting the floor, you need to clearly follow the instructions prescribed on the package with the goods. If the process is produced by all the rules, the coating will last long.

Paul preparation

From good flooring to staining directly depends on the final result of the work. So, what is this process:

1. The first thing from the surface you need to remove the old coating, if any. You can dissolve or scrape the former paint.
2. Before processing various compositions, wood needs to get rid of all kinds of defects. Old boards, long-stayed in the sun, acquire an ugly dark color, in addition, many microorganisms are in them. To get rid of such a phenomenon, the upper coating layer must be removed using a grinding machine. You need to handle the surface until the boards become beautiful light brown.
3. In the event that the floor has finally spoiled elements (rotten or disintended floorings), they must be replaced with new fragments.
4. Small cracks and cleaners that can be repaired, it is necessary to smear with putty and sweeter.
5. After the work done, all sawdust, chips and dust should be carefully removed, and then start the impregnation of the floor with protective means.
6. As such a composition, antiseptic primer can be used. It is necessary to cover the floor in several layers, every time waiting for the complete drying of the impregnation. After applying the last layer, the surface should be left for 3-4 days, so that the means is finally absorbed and dried. When this happens, the floor can be painted.
