In winter, the metal garage is not the best option for Parking a car. The temperature of the air in the room is almost the same as on the street, which nullifies the effectiveness of the protection of the car. To help solve the problem of metal garage insulation from the Foundation to the roof. From the article, you will learn what materials are used for insulation and how to make your own hands.
A kind used heaters ↑
Before to start works on warming of the metal construction, it is necessary to choose a suitable insulating material. In the construction market will offer you:
- Mineral wool, characterized by excellent thermal insulation properties. To wool moisture has not lost its operating characteristics, you should buy material for waterproofing and vapor barrier.
- Glass wool, often used in construction. As a good insulation is rarely used.
- Foam different degrees of density. The quality and insulation characteristics is not inferior to the mineral wool. Moreover, it perfectly resists moisture and does not rot and development of fungi. To work with material quickly and easily. The main drawback — melting with the release of soot under high temperature.
- Astratek liquid insulation. The high-quality processing using the brush entire surface with a metal garage structure achieves a high level of insulation of the room.
- Penoizol the high prevalence of resistance to high temperatures and moisture.
- Polyurethane foam with excellent thermal insulation and long service life. To cover the surface with a composition need special equipment.
It remains to decide how much you are willing to spend on insulation metal garage with their hands and what kind of material suits you, and then get to work.
Warm floor ↑
If you plan to install the finished design a metal garage on a warm field, care must be taken when preparing the site of installation. In this case of Foundation using concrete block.
To improve the thermal insulation qualities of the floor of existing garage use complex. The material showed itself as in – 50 degrees and + 75. On the laid layer of insulation is done the coupler.
Many owners use the garage not only as covered Parking car, but also as a workshop to resolve minor problems and routine maintenance. Without a good inspection pit not do. In the design of the floor appears weak spot through which cold and damp will get inside the garage. Device for inspection pit is necessary to perform sealing and the walls and the bottom of the pit covered with a layer of insulation. Cover the pit will become an additional protection for the premises from the cold.
Insulation of walls inside the garage ↑
When installing metal frame garage insulation procedure is performed immediately. In this case, using a sandwich panel of steel sheets with a layer of polyurethane foam. No other insulation can not hold.
One-piece garage metal first check for the presence of rust. Cleaned it thoroughly and cover the structure with primer on metal. On the wall attach the frame of the metal profile. The distance between racks is determined by the width of the sheet of mineral wool or foam. The layer of mineral wool must fit into the vapor barrier film. The final stage of the insulation of the walls is paneling with drywall or paneling.
The grooves and roughness perfectly closed and even spraying insulating materials. In this case, the walls of the garage will not be seams and crevices. On top of the insulation installation of the lining material with good resistance to high temperatures.
Metal garage insulation from the inside can be made insulating paint. For its application on the surface using the spray gun. The advantage of using this material is the efficiency, ease of application, preservation of useful volume of the building, no need to sheathe the room. Paint is fulfilling a protective role against the formation of mold and corrosion.
Insulation of the roof ↑
Thermal insulation work on the roof of the garage depend on its design. Gable construction with ceiling slab can be insulated in two ways. One of them involves the warming rays, and the second is the thermal insulation of the ceiling. If you use the space between the roof and the ceiling for storing things or tools, insulated slopes and pediments.
Flat roof metal garage is insulated on the inside. To work better use astratek, penoizol or polyurethane foam. After the procedure, the ceiling surface is covered.
Gate ↑
The main leakage of heat from the garage is through gate. Metal construction must be lightweight and durable. Opening and closing large folds, we produce a large quantity of warm air. To avoid this, in the main structure of the gate make a small door for yourself. The next step will be the insulation of small and large gate with extruded polystyrene foam. The material has high insulating properties at high densities and small sizes.
The gate leaf can be removed or to perform the work without dismantling. At the perimeter of the valves to attach the metal profile. Sheets of polystyrene foam are attached with structural adhesive directly on the door leaf. On top of the glue, fit the heat insulation material is laid. Between the decorative material and heat insulation material is laid must be a small gap. On the metalloprofili dowels are attached to wooden slats with a maximum thickness of 3 cm. Wooden frame is sheathed with clapboard or plastic.
Around the perimeter of the sash, be sure to glue the gasket to face down through the gap between the gate and the frame did not pass cold air inside. You can insulate almost any design of garage doors, because the use of modern insulation slightly changes the weight of the structure.
Only full metal garage insulation will help make it comfortable for keeping the car in the winter. In this garage you can own to prevent a private vehicle to do small renovations. The air temperature after the installation of insulation layer in extreme cold will be positive. In addition to insulation installation, you must install a good ventilation for the exhaust exit the motor running.
