The presence of a variety of materials designed specifically for these purposes will make the task easily performed. It will be completely wrong to assume that it will be enough to insulate the walls and the ceiling, and the veranda will become very warm, because in the gap will cease to blew the ice wind.

Insulation foamball

From modern insulation, which are recommended precisely for the insulation of the floors, the first place is Penofol. It is a foam polyethylene with a foil coating, and is used to solve many building problems associated with thermal insulation.

The easiest way to insulate the floor of the veranda is next.

• To begin with, on the edges of the outer walls, we put a natural insulation, for example, we make the fill of the foundation or the clay mortar from the inside of the veranda.
• Further, already inside, thoroughly put sand and stain in the seams, after which we pierce their lower part by foam.
• We continue to insulation, putting felt carpet or linoleum on a polypropylene basis. These coatings are perfect for internal insulation.

Warming with mineral wool or foam

You can also warm the floor on the veranda with a foam or mineral wool. This process is more laborious, but it can also be cope with it yourself. Typically, the floors on the veranda are made of lags, special wooden bars located under the coating, with boards attached to them.

• First of all, remove these boards from the floor.
• Next, lay out the prepared bars from the tree between the lags, fixing them with screws.
• Between these bars, the material for insulation is unfolded. Whatever the insulation was chosen, it should be very tightly laid between lags so that there is no free space.

In this case, foam or mineral wool can be used from insulation. When using foams as insulating material, it is necessary to customize sheets under distances between lags, cutting it with a conventional knife.

A little different technology is used when heating floors of mineral wool.

• Initially, insulating wool using polyethylene or foil, in order for the characteristics of the insulation, moisture could affect.
• After the insulation is laid, additionally all the slots and emptiness remaining after laying, weerly close the mounting foam.

Between the floor and insulation, the gap must remain, for better air circulation, and fence fences from fungus and rotting. It is enough so that the structure is a few millimeters below the floor.

Capital insulation of the floor

If you want to thoroughly engage in the insulation of the flooring of the veranda, then use the following method, overhaul.

At the same time, the floor covering is completely removed, and directly on the ground alternately stacked materials:

• first, a small layer of sand that performs the function of a kind of pillow;

• next, you need to make a screed, that is, concrete;

• the next layer will be waterproofing, from the referenced;

• after that, the penplex is stacked;

• then again the waterproofing layer, and finally goes the flooring themselves.

This work is quite time-consuming, not everyone on the shoulder, but in this way floors, will serve you for a very long time, without losing their heat-saving qualities.

It will further help clarify all the subtleties of the floor insulation on the veranda of the video, looking at which you make this work with ease.

One of the most simple variants of the insulation of the floor may be the laying of insulating material on the old floor, closing it from above another layer of flooring. But this method will reduce the distance between the floor and the ceiling.

Selection of floor covering

Select the material that will serve as a floor covering. It can be a linoleum on a polypropylene basis, parquet or flooring from wooden boards. The best option for the builders is a tree. But not all wood is suitable for laying on terraces or verandahs. When selecting a floor covering material, pay attention to what kind of tree variety in front of you is solid or soft.

For laying as a floor, soft wood varieties are suitable less, since they are more than solid wood, are susceptible to rotting or cutting. Boards from such a tree can be used as a floor covering of the veranda, but they are treated with an anti-corrosion substance, as well as paint on both sides. It will save the coating from excess moisture and will retain strength for a long time.

More expensive to external influences, but also more expensive, boards of solid wood varieties are considered. Before stacking, they should also be treated with anti-corrosion composition, and only after that begin to stacking. The painting of the floor on the veranda of such varieties of the tree occurs after installation, and only on the one hand, there is no point in painting them on both sides. How to paint the floor on the veranda - choose to you, but better than ordinary oil paint, so that moisture penetrate into the tree. Solid wood species are most persistent, and serve longer than soft.
