The vestibule in the house — the ergonomics of the site

VESTIBULE – a small intermediate room in front of the house, sort of thermal gateway, regulating the temperature variations at the entrance and prevent the penetration of cold into the room. The history of the tambura is rooted in the distant past, but for many centuries its utilitarian purpose is not changed substantially. It is, as before, is designed to keep heat in the house, but still clean and tidy. As the theater begins with a hanger, so the house begins with the hallway. It is therefore important that the vestibule was not only warm but also beautiful, fit into the architecture of the building.

Plan

To plan the platform must be based on the local wind rose. Better to put it on the leeward side. The vestibule can be inside the building or outside in the form of an extension (projection), and located two or three steps below the first floor level, it will further delay the cold.





The door must open outwards, this is important in relation to fire safety and resistance to burglary. When choosing a cover, on the floor stay on solid and non-slip materials.

The use of vestibule

  • Due to the sequential opening of the entrance door the cold air stays between them and gets in the living room.
  • Saved home heat heating appliances are not "warm the streets".
  • In the summer remains cool in the house, especially if the AirCon is on.
  • Saves the cost of heating and cooling.
  • Not produced drafts in the house do not penetrate smoke and other odors, and dirt.
  • Can be used for storage (shoes etc.).
 

Isolate

Additional insulation for walls of termoblok or laminated veneer lumber is not usually required, but in the vestibule experts suggest to insulate them with foam, perlite or mineralized plates; the latter – with the obligatory film vapor barrier from the inside and waterproofing on the outside. Outside on the insulating layer strengthen the reinforcing mesh and then coated with a paint finish or plaster.

Vestibule you can attach technology Conservatory: aluminum or plastic frame with double glazing. The most important thing here – the reliable docking of profile design with the main wall. This is done so by avoiding expansion joint – leaving the gap (20-50 mm) is filled with fiber insulation, facade sealant is applied on top.





But this seam is not suitable for interfacing the roof to cover the vestibule best independent truss design, and the junction to close the top strap.

Note!
As much as possible use possibilities of the vestibule! Incorporate in its side wall a door to the garage, and you'll immediately notice that your house has plenty of dust and dirt.

 

Heat will?

This question has no definite answer. Some experts suggest to include the platform in the outline of the overall heating, to prevent it from freezing in winter. Others adhere to building codes, according to which heating appliances are not placed in the lobbies, so they do not freeze. But there's a Solomonic solution: install cable warm floor, which is convenient for changing shoes, and the air heat curtain, which will not allow cold currents of air to enter your warm rooms.

The ergonomics of the site
Often the vestibule on our own will we turn in anything, but not in business card of your house.

Then you and pantry, and a warehouse full of old shoes, and joinventure, and even the remnants of building materials (throw hand does not rise). If space allows, make this still needed in the economy, junk the closet.





IMPORTANT!

1. Reduced to "no" heat loss and help basic steps: seal gaps around the perimeter of doors, along baseboards and in the corners with mineral wool or foam, if the gap is large and the caulked oakum and seal with insulating tape, if the gap is small.

2.Pay special attention to doors: their quality will depend on the warmth of your home. For external doors suitable metal with internal insulation or solid wood, and the balcony door would be a good solution for the internal option.

Spacious vestibule is ideal for storage baby stroller, sled. And if the vestibule is small in size, have limited shelf for shoes, a small coat rack and mirror. Made in the same style, they will beautify your vestibule is even better than the bulky Cabinet from my grandmother's bedroom. published
