How to insulate the garage for the winter

Today let's talk about the most important thing about the garage. And about how it is better to insulate for the winter. First, it is necessary to include in the comfort of your car, and secondly, a garage is the ideal place for the storage of very useful things, and thirdly- sometimes we spend a little time there, and nicer to hold it in a warm garage than in the cold.





Insulation of the garage need not to spend extra money on heating, when all the heat is blown away. Or when on the walls of the mould, that does not give you no joy, no comfort of your car. It is best to keep in the garage, the optimal temperature is somewhere around +5C. The cheapest way to plaster walls and the use of fiberglass mesh. This option is inexpensive, but the work takes time, and you need to protect additionally laid Termoli (paneling, siding, etc.), so let's look at other ways.





 

It would be best to insulate the garage, both inside and outside. This is the most expensive option, but it has its advantages. This garage does not require extra costs for heating in winter. If the insulation is to lay out — you will not take up any extra space inside the premises and your job will meet building standards. Although in most cases the room is insulated either from the outside or from the inside.





Note that if you insulate the garage, just inside between the insulation layer and the wall may form condensation, and if you use foam (i.e., absorbent material), all thermal insulation in General may soon collapse. What else affects the choice of insulation method? Of course, the quality of materials. I would advise with an internal insulation to choose products more or less well-known brands and a reasonable price. Do not skimp on health, don't buy cheap materials in order to then breathe harmful fumes.

How to insulate the wall: inside or outside? The opinions of Amateurs and professionals here are diametrically opposed. Professional builders consider internal insulation necessary measure, but fans rarely insulated the room from outside. Putting the insulation inside, you risk getting mold and fungus by incorrect use of materials. To avoid this, provide ventilation.









The better to insulate the walls in the garage? The most popular materials are plastic foam, glass wool and mineral wool. Even for insulating garage convenient concrete block. In order to insulate the garage using clay pebbles you need to make a frame inside to fill the space with insulation, pour cement mortar and replace the drywall.





Another popular and inexpensive option is thermal insulation foam. They can insulate the walls, both inside and outside and make it your own, because the foam — light material. Just remember that the garage is better to use self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene PSB-s — in case of fire. There are still Styrofoam, it is waterproof and vapor tight material, and includes components to reduce the risk of fire.





Such material as glass wool are also very popular and possesses similar properties. Pack the glass wool should be special gloves and glasses and a respirator so as not to injure your hands, nose and eyes. And it would be better to lay between sheets of paper or film so that the particles do not hit the air.





In comparison with glass wool, mineral wool — an environmentally friendly material, which is made from natural materials (basalt, dolomite, etc.). When choosing the material, consider the density: for insulation on the inside to fit semi-rigid with a density of 180 kg/cubic m, for work outside better to take 240 kg/cu. m. Minus the mineral wool is the material price. This type of insulation will cost a bit more. The next type of insulation is a liquid foam: penopoliuretan and penoizol. The downside is that here you need the help of experts and the foam generator, which also is not cheap.





The last type of insulation that I want to mention today — is a rolled material made of foamed polyurethane foam and foil. From the point of view of prices, the option again is expensive, so all depends on the amount of funds you plan to invest in the insulation of the garage. Otherwise, this is a good view of the internal insulation of the garage from the viewpoint of saving space. With a thickness of maximum 5 mm such insulation will allow you to do any wall covering. In the garage it is so nice to arrange the space for storing needed things, put some furniture...





Therefore, the free space here is like gold. Perhaps it is best to first decide what you will store in your garage other than your car, and then to calculate the volume of the space, and to pick up the insulation. published
