Insulation of interpanel seams allows for protection from the cold of the entire building as a whole and the rooms located in it, from the appearance of mold, mildew and leaks. The choice of materials allows this, so insulation from moisture and cold is used successfully in this technology.

Sealing work is important if moisture and thermal insulation of the apartment is planned. Thanks to professionally performed work, the room will be free from fungus, new peeling wallpaper, and the smell of dampness. Exists following processes seam sealing:

The technology involves sealing seams in three technological steps:

Construction volume wooden houses is growing every year. This is explained by several factors - the aesthetics of antiquity new way"and good operational properties. But there is one important problem that is characteristic only of wooden log houses, especially new buildings. Over time, gaps appear between the crowns, which significantly impair thermal insulation, noise absorption and protection of walls from premature destruction of wood. One of effective ways The solution to the problem is to seal the cracks that appear using the warm seam technology.

Causes

During construction wooden house A layer of sealant is mounted on the upper plane of each crown. Often this is linen tow or felt, which are optimal material for sealing gaps between logs or beams (more on this). But over time, owners of wooden houses may notice the appearance of gaps and cracks in the walls of the building. This usually happens 1.5-2 years after construction.

There are several reasons for such defects:

1. Natural uneven shrinkage of the house.
2. Inconsistency linear dimensions logs This is typical for houses made of non-rounded timber. During construction, the distance between the crowns may be slightly larger than the norm, but due to shrinkage it often increases.
3. Incorrectly calculated layer interventional seal. Its excess can be squeezed out under the influence of the weight of the wall.
4. Changing the geometric dimensions of timber or logs. This problem is typical in bathhouses where big differences temperatures and humidity. During operation, drying or moisture absorption occurs, which leads to changes in size and geometry.

Eat traditional way solutions to these problems - cracks and gaps. To do this, sealants are installed in the formed “cold bridges”: tow, linen felt or jute. However, they do not guarantee that the home will remain sealed. Therefore, a new technology was developed - a warm interventional seam.

Description of technology

The reason for the emergence of warm seam technology for wooden houses was the emergence of new thermal insulation materials. Due to the fact that caulking needs periodic updating, the technology for the construction and operation of wooden houses has been supplemented.

With this type of thermal insulation, 2 types of materials are used:

1. Sealing cord made of insulating material. Most often this is foamed polyethylene. It is lightweight, has good thermal insulation properties, and most importantly, it is plastic. The polyethylene cord is easy to install into the resulting cracks and crevices. Important - the cord should not be adhesive. If as building material timber was used, then small gaps in it can be eliminated by using non-adhesive tape.
2. Sealant. It performs several functions - fixing the cord and additionally sealing the entire area of ​​the gap formed. It is necessary to use special brands of sealants designed for working with wooden surfaces.

Works on additional insulation and it is recommended to eliminate the resulting defects after 1.5-2 years after the construction of the house. During this time, final shrinkage will occur, which is 4-6%.

To complete the work you will need following materials and tools:

• Sealant and sealant. The footage of the compactor is calculated according to the perimeter of the house multiplied by the number of logs. The amount of sealant depends on its type, packaging and density. In the vast majority of cases, manufacturers indicate the estimated consumption on the packaging.
• Spatulas and wooden spatulas, if the sealant is packaged in plastic buckets. Mounting gun for sealant in tubes. It is recommended to use the latter, as it will make it possible to make a seam with uniform application of the material.
• Masking tape. Necessary for the formation of an even layer of sealant. It is deleted after the work is completed.

On preparatory stage Contaminants and dust are removed from the wall surface. The inter-crown end must be degreased for better adhesion of the sealant. The wall must be dry and the air temperature must correspond to the installation conditions.

Stages of work:

• Installation masking tape along the seam boundaries.
• Installation sealing tape. The thickness of the tape should exceed the inter-crown gap by 1-1.5 mm. It is installed using a wooden spatula.
• Applying sealant. For a uniform layer, nozzles with a diameter of 0.6 to 2.5 cm are used. The layer thickness should not be less than 5 mm. If necessary, the material is applied to the seam using a spatula.

More detailed instructions using warm seam technology is shown in the video.

Wood sealant “Warm seam” can become the basis for the thermal insulation protection of a building. Undoubtedly, there are other ways, but this one is the most convenient. If you have started to think about insulating your home, then you should resort to this technology. When making a comparison with the traditional system of thermal insulation of inter-crown gaps, which uses hemp, jute or flax batting insulation, it is worth noting that filling cracks in the inter-crown space with sealant increases the thermal resistance of the walls and reduces heat loss. If we are talking about natural insulation materials, then they are able to let cold air inside, which significantly reduces thermal resistance log walls.

Consumer reviews about the effect

Why is it cold in a wooden house?

Any wood influenced environment changes its parameters over time. Gaps form between the logs, drafts begin to circulate in the house, and the heat leaves. Our ancestors knew well about this feature of wood. Therefore caulking wooden log house was important stage construction. The space between the crowns was densely filled with moss. The first time is during the construction process, and the second time is a year later, when the log house is “settled”.

This is how they do it in most cases now, only the insulation of wooden houses is done with tow, jute, and flax. Natural materials They look beautiful, protect joints well and retain heat. But they require regular updating, since the insulating material cannot fill the increasing gaps, it is blown out by the wind, birds take it away, and insects can settle in it.

New technology for insulating a house with wood sealants, which is used by the company " Warm house", is devoid of all these shortcomings.

How is a log house insulated with sealant?

The insulation of a log house using the “Warm seam” technology is carried out 1-1.5 years after the completion of construction, when the process of shrinkage of the house is completed. The technology includes several stages:

• The seams between the logs are prepared for processing: the old insulation is removed, the cracks are cleared, dust and dirt are removed, and they are coated with a special impregnation.
• The prepared surface is primed.
• A caulking cord is laid which fills deep cracks and cracks, creating the basis for a layer of sealant.
• Using a pneumatic mechanism, the seams are filled with sealant, which is leveled with a spatula. The recommended seam thickness is 4-6 mm.
• The joint is finalized by smoothing the surface of the sealant, giving it a neat appearance.
• The sealant hardens within 2-7 days. The curing time depends on the initial moisture content of the wood and the ambient temperature.

It is better to entrust the insulation of a wooden house with a warm seam to professionals. The specialists of the Teply Dom company will help you choose the most suitable suitable type sealant, and our craftsmen will quickly and accurately carry out all the work.

Modern insulation of houses built from wood includes filling cracks and joints of logs with sealant. Such manipulations will eliminate the leak as soon as possible. warm air and improve the thermal insulation of the entire building.

Sealing the seams of a house can be done inside or outside the building. It is important to carry out insulation at a high level of quality so as not to waste money and time, because this the most important moment for a wooden log house. Warm seam is latest technology, demonstrating excellent results compared to other methods of insulating log and timber houses. But it is important to order such a service only from qualified craftsmen, because any minor or large-scale mistakes can ruin everything.

Seams in a wooden house and sealants for their insulation

Quality acrylic sealants, presented by several manufacturers, are ideal for working with log houses. This material for insulating seams does not contain harmful substances. Thanks to its elasticity, the sealant instantly masks cracks, seams and chips. He is resistant to ultraviolet rays and negative irritating natural factors. A warm seam for a wooden house does not burst when the building shrinks, which is important for real estate that is located on soft ground. Apply sealant only after preliminary antiseptic work.

The Master Seam company works with several and the highest quality sealants. For the attention of customers, seam insulation is provided with two main types of insulating material:

Vilaterm cord for your home

When sealing the “Warm seam”, Vilaterm sealing cord is also used. Such cords are made from durable polyethylene by foaming it under pressure. The resulting liquid mixture is poured into special molds, where it hardens and acquires a special cellular structure. The Vilaterm cord ranks high in its strength; it is able to withstand numerous compressions and stretches. The material is moisture resistant and environmentally friendly. It has special sound and thermal insulation properties and can be used in various fields of construction activities. The cross-sectional diameter of the cord can be different and ranges from 6 to 80 mm.

If we talk about the scope of application of the Vilaterm cord, then it is immediately important to note the insulation of joints and seams. A durable seal protects the cracks from moisture, which prevents the formation and penetration of fungus/mold. The Vilaterm cord has a long service life. It greatly facilitates installation work and is easy to use. This cord is fixed using sealant. The gap is cleaned of dust and dirt and degreased. Next, a polyethylene cord is inserted and covered with a sealing construction agent.

The role of the Vilaterm sealing cord in the "Warm seam" technology

• The cord fills the seam, which saves sealant;
• Additionally, it insulates the building;
• Serves as a gasket between the wood and the sealant. In the absence of a cord, if the tree begins to lead, the entire seam will become unusable. And if there is a Vilaterm cord, the sealant will be attached to the cord and touch the logs only at two points.

If we compare classic caulking and “Warm seam” sealing, then the second method certainly demonstrates the best results.
