Calculator for calculating ceiling insulation in a house with a cold attic
Significant heat losses in the room occur through ceilings that do not have special insulation.
Air from heaters and other heating devices rises, but when it comes into contact with a cold surface, it gives it most of the heat.
As a result, it is very difficult to create a comfortable microclimate in the room, since in this case a huge heat consumption is required for heating structures.
Therefore, the ceiling, which is in contact with rooms without heating from above, needs additional insulation. A full-fledged ceiling covering must meet certain criteria.
In this case, different materials are used, which have their own specific characteristics. This affects the required thickness of the insulation.
In order to plan the structure according to all the rules, it is worth using a special calculator for calculating the ceiling insulation in a building where there is a cold attic.
For correct calculations, below are some explanations.
Roof insulation with different materials
Calculation features
When calculating, it is necessary to take into account the fact that each design, in its parameters, must correspond to certain values \u200b\u200bthat are established by SNiP for different regions and their weather conditions.
Materials are able to give off heat, which has its own coefficient of thermal conductivity. And the smaller it is, the higher the quality of thermal insulation will be. This coefficient can be found in special reference books. This value is already present in the calculation program.
The heat transfer resistance is given by:
R=h(thickness)/ λ(thermal conductivity)
It is on this formula that the algorithm of the program is based:
- first you need to select the material from the provided list;
- indicates the standard value of heat transfer resistance, which is set for a particular region. This indicator can be found on the map - diagram. In this case, you need to look for a parameter for overlaps;
Determination of the required value of thermal resistance according to a special map-scheme
coverage parameters are important. In this case, the options may be different. In some cases, instead of overlapping, there is only an attic floor and ceiling trim.
When carrying out calculations, you need to have a diagram at hand, which shows all the layers of the structure;
in the program, you need to select the finish for the ceiling surface, which also affects the thermal insulation parameters;
it is important to decide on the flooring for the attic floor. It is taken into account if used as a continuous coating;
the result is displayed in millimeters and can be adjusted to the standard parameters for the thickness of insulation materials.
In order to carry out high-quality insulation of the floor under an unheated attic, there is not enough information about the thickness of the material with thermal insulation properties. All thermal insulation work should be carried out correctly.

What determines the thickness
The calculation of the thickness of the insulation for walls should begin with the determination of the main indicators of construction technology. Such indicators include the thickness of existing walls and the material from which they are made, the material of the heat insulator, as well as the climatic conditions of your region, the design and wear of the walls of the building, the internal dimensions of the room and other current indicators.
Let us consider in more detail the calculation elements for a wall heat insulator.
The thickness of the walls, as well as the materials from which they are built, are indicated in the technical passport of your housing, which can be found in the housing office or in the management company. These indicators are important, since each climatic zone has its own indicators of building standards and subsequent heat resistance.
The insulation material is important, since it is on it that the subsequent reduction in heat loss from your apartment depends. Each material has its own coefficient of thermal conductivity, as a result of which the minimum allowable thickness of the insulation will also differ.
Wall wear and construction also affect the insulation process, because depending on the side (exterior or interior), the insulation process may need to be coordinated with the utilities, which will tell you how badly the wall is damaged. If the building has not undergone cosmetic repairs for a long time, then in addition to a thicker layer of insulation, during the installation process, puttying joints, cracks and strengthening floors will take a lot of time.
It should be noted that the thickness of the insulation for external walls is not calculated with such scrupulousness as for internal ones. The reason for this neglect is the inability to predict the weather. If inside the apartment you can determine the temperature level in the winter period of time according to annual indicators during the heating season, then it is impossible to predict the weather conditions outside. Therefore, for external insulation, a thickness is taken that exceeds the minimum minimum by 1.5 times. Thus, you will not spend money on extra materials and insulate your walls.
