Features of insulation of a brick house

• First of all, it is important to know the technical characteristics of the external walls - they are made of hollow or complete brick.
• In addition, the calculated layer of thermal insulation material is affected by the method of brickwork whether it was performed monolithically or in the form of a well, with an air gap.
• When choosing thermal insulation material, it is important to pay attention, for external or internal insulation it is intended.

• The thickness of the insulation layer will depend on its density and the characteristics of thermal conductivity.
• For internal work, it is worth choosing natural materials that are safe for humans, such as mineral wool.
• Supplining a brick house outside, it is worthwhile to purchase finishing materials. Whether it will be a plaster or a ventilated facade must be known immediately, since the method of fastening the insulation depends on this. The obvious advantage of insulation of the house outside will not decrease living space.

DIY insulation of the house with a foamyplex

Foamyplex is great for insulation of a brick house outside. This material with excellent rigidity, high thermal insulation properties, it is not afraid of moisture and mice does not eat it.

Work will require materials and tools:

• foam stoves;
• start profile;
• building glue;
• dowel-grooves with a hat hat;
• reinforcing facade grid;
• aluminum or plastic corner;
• slopes;
• finishing material.

Important: the length of the dowel depends on the thickness of the insulation, but the main rule, it should be included in the brick wall at least 12 cm, and at least 9 cm in a concrete minimum.

Stages of work

• The insulated wall is inspected for the presence of mold, chips and other possible defects. Everything that can be removed is removed and treated with antiseptic compounds. If the wall has a paint or plaster with exfoliating areas, it is also important to clean them.
• Often, old brick houses are already insulated outside and cracks or chips are present in their masonry. Therefore, first it will be necessary to carry out repair work. The crack is slightly expanded, exhausted and primed. Then covered with cement mortar or filled with mounting foam.

Tip: adhesion of the wall of a brick house is easy to check. A small piece of polystyrene (10x10 cm) is glued to a special glue to it. If after 3 days when trying to tear it off, he completely moved away from the wall, additional cleaning and primer of the surface will be required. If it broke, but remained glued to the wall, then the mono start work.

• For the convenience of installation, the wall is made on the wall for the starting horizontal profile. Its thickness should correspond to the thickness of the foam poum. To do this, it is recommended to use a special perforated profile that does not bend with the thermal expansion of materials in the season.
• The starting profile is attached exactly in level. He will not only set the evenness of the subsequent masonry, but also protect the insulation from rodents. If the length of 1 profile bar is not enough, then it is important to leave a gap of 0.5 cm to expand the metal between the strips.

• If the wall has significant irregularities, then it is most convenient to glue the sheets to glue, which is applied not throughout the area, but only with codes around the perimeter of the material and in the center.
• For more even masonry, it is recommended to apply glue with a uniform thin layer using a gear spatula. A special glue in cylinders is also sold on sale, which is supplied under pressure. It is easy to work with it, and the quality of fixation is high.
• Regardless of the selected method of fastening, the work begins from the lower corner. The second row is located with a displacement, in the form of brickwork. Thus, they close the entire wall.

Important: when the wall is completely glued with polystyrene, finish can be carried out no earlier than 3 days later.

• It is important to carefully heat around the windows. In this case, first, window slopes are insulated from the inside, cutting the foam over the level of the wall, and then the sheet is glued to the outside to form even corners.
• For reliable fastening of the foam-polex to the brick wall, one glue is not enough, each sheet is attached with a dowel-clamp with a hat hat. At least 7 mounts per sheet, including joints.
• It is necessary to fix the dowel-gribok into the foam neatly, it should only be buried for 1-2 mm.

• If, when preparing sheets of foam poum, slots of up to 2 cm are formed, they are filled with mounting foam. With more serious gaps, a piece of insulation is cut and fixed on foam.
• When the main work on insulation is completed, the protruding parts of thermal insulation are cut off. This usually happens in places of joints of sheets.
• Before putty, the walls of the walls and slopes are first strengthened with a special perforated corner with a net. It is attached to the glue with which the insulation was fixed.

Tip: insulation of a brick house with your own hands with foam is carried out using the same technology. But if a month or more has passed from insulation to finishing, foam is damaged under the influence of ultraviolet rays. To remove the damaged layer, the entire surface passes through a special grater.

Foamplex finishing work

As a rule, a hard slab insulation for a brick house is chosen if the finish is supposed to be decorated with decorative plaster or painting.

• When choosing a plaster, it is worth noting that it will serve as an additional thermal insulation layer.
• Be sure to stock up on a reinforcing polymer mesh with 4x4 cm cells.
• It is fixed to the foam polex on the same glue as the insulation itself. A flat overlap is made over the entire length 10-15 cm.
• The stripes are attached vertically from top to bottom, smoothing with a spatula and sinking in the adhesive composition.
• A leveling layer of plaster is made on top (it is better to make them 2 or more subtle).
• After drying, the walls are primed and applied to the finish or decorative composition.

Insulation of a brick house with your own hands in mineral wool

This material is perfect if you need to insulate a brick house for siding with your own hands.

Miniral cotton wool is safe for health, has high heat and soundproofing properties. Easy to be mounted, durable and not fuel.

Stages of work

• If the wall of the old house is insulated, then at first they prepare the base. Clean the old paint and plaster, fill the cracks.

Tip: the higher the density of the plates of the mineral wool, the more convenient to work with it when warming the facade of the brick house.

• First they make a frame. For it, special aluminum profiles or wooden rails are used.
• Reiki is more convenient to place horizontally so that the thermal insulation sheet rests on them. The height will be equal to the height of the insulation. It should be tightly adjacent to the surface not to bulge and not have empty gaps between it and the frames.
• Then each sheet is attached with a dowel with a hat with a fungus in at least 5 places.
• It is advisable to carry out work on the insulation of each facade in 1 day, so as not to leave it under the influence of the sun and wind. It is especially important to prevent it from getting wet.
• A vapor barrier is pulled on top of the mineral wool and attached to the frame.
• With this version of insulation of a brick house with your own hands, the finish implies a vestilated facade. For this, siding, block house or any other panel finishing material are suitable.

Insulation of a brick house with warm plaster

• Outwardly, this is a regular plaster composition based on cement. But its main difference is high thermal insulation qualities, since instead of sand, granular polystyrene foam, expanded clay or pumice are added to it.
• This non -combustible, environmentally friendly insulation allows you to create excellent soundproofing of the room. The maximum layer thickness is 5 cm. It is often used for internal insulation of the house.

Stages of application

• The surface is exhausted and treated with antiseptic impregnations.
• They sell warm plaster in the form of a dry mixture. It will need to be diluted independently with ordinary water. To do this, it is better to choose a larger container of at least 40 liters. The consistency should be thick enough so that it is firmly attached to the wall. To do this, you can take a little composition on the spatula and turn it over, if it holds and does not fall, it means ready to work. The prepared composition must be used within 2 hours.
• Apply in 2 layers, each of which should not exceed 2 cm.
• After applying the first layer of warm plaster on the brick facade, it is left for drying for at least 8 hours.
• When warming a brick house with his own hands from the inside, the layer dries in 4-5 hours.

Insulation of a brick house with facade thermal panels

• These universal panels already have a decorative decoration in the form of brickwork or natural stone. The thermal insulation material used for them has high energy -efficient indicators, is not afraid of moisture, the formation of the fungus and will last long decades.
• Mounting such thermal panels is easy and convenient due to slight weight. Therefore, it is recommended to use them for independent insulation of a brick house.

• Work can be done at any time of the year.

For work you will need:

• marker;
• level;
• screwdriver;
• punch;
• sealant;
• a hammer;
• hacksaw;
• bulgarian;
• master OK.

Stages of work

• If the facade has even walls, then the panels are attached directly to it. If there are significant irregularities, then it is necessary to make a crate from wooden rails or a metal profile. They are attached vertically with a 4th pitch, so that at least 3 guides have at least 3 guides for each thermal panel.
• Below, a metal start profile is screwed from below, which is set exactly in level around the perimeter of the whole house.
• The mounting of the panels begins with the lower left corner. Between themselves, they are firmly joined thanks to the PAZ-Ship system. This excludes the bridges of the cold and moisture falling into joints.
• For the decoration of the corners, special angular thermal panels are sold.
• If thermal panels are attached to the frame, then self -tapping screws are used as fasteners, if directly to the wall, then a perforator.
• Since thermal panels are still separate elements and are already finishing, it will be necessary to grout the seams. This is done exclusively at a plus temperature and a special frost -resistant composition intended for external work.
