The popularity of concrete floors is due to the fact that they are durable and practical. However, the concrete floor does not hold heat well, which causes certain discomfort in the cold season. Therefore, many decide to insulate concrete floor.
When choosing material for insulation of the concrete floor, it is necessary to first evaluate its thermal conductivity, resistance to humidity, weight, as well as quality, practicality and durability. At the moment, a wide selection of coatings for thermal insulation is presented, which include polystyrene, expanded clay, mineral wool, polystyrene foam and others.
One of the methods of insulation of the concrete floor is insulation using lag. This method allows you not to worry about the fact that thermal insulation material cannot withstand the loads, because it will be laid between the lags. Assumes this method to lay on a clean and dry surface of the polyethylene film in several layers, then the lags are evenly distributed along the floor surface, and insulation is laid between them. After the lags are covered with boards, and in the end the flooring is laid down.
You can also insulate the floor with the so -called floating coatings, for example extruded polysterol. Such a floor consists of layers, which contributes to good sound insulation.
