How to attach vapor barrier

Materials, protecting building structures from vapour and moisture is called a vapor barrier. As a vapor barrier, you can use roll or sheet materials. Methods of attachment are different.

You will need

• construction skobozabivatel;
• - screws;
• rail;
• profile.

Instruction

1. Attach vapor barrier materials from the inner side of the room. If the walls are very thin, and the temperature in winter drops below 25 degrees, then the vapor barrier should be on the inside and outside of the building.
2. Roll materials attach around the perimeter of the walls with construction skobozabivatel. Each next roll start spinning, making the overlap on the previous covers. If you are not planning a subsequent insulation, to consolidate the material, use a wooden or plastic slats.
3. Reiki prikruchivayte with screws at a distance of 30 cm from each other. If you're on top of the vapor barrier material to cover the walls of heat insulating materials to secure additional vapor barrier is not necessary. You will mount it on a rail at the same time and the vapor barrier and insulation.
4. For fastening sheet vapor barrier install the frame of the profile that you simply insert the sheets. Further secure them with screws. The joints fit an PVC film or sopanam.
5. Vapor barrier ceiling do overlap with walls, which shall not be less than 20 cm To effectively protect the ceiling from the steam and moisture, and significantly extend the life of load-bearing structures, make steam insulation inside and out.
6. The outer insulation should consist of three layers where the first layer is a vapor barrier, second insulation, third – vapor barrier. This triple protection, prevent condensation, which greatly extend the life of hardwood floors.
7. If the floor is made of concrete, the more they must be reliably protected from steam and moisture. If this is not done, then the apartment or the house to drip from the ceiling, especially when a significant change in temperature on the street.
