The latter is used more often, the material is resistant to humidity and has a small thickness (from 70 to 100 mm). Laying the insulation is carried out in two layers, while the seams overlap, the fixing is made on a dowel or on the mounting foam.
- The insulation with a metallized effect (foamphol), which ensures the preservation of heat is stacked.
- Installation of the coating of a warm floor, if provided for.
- Performing surface sheat: plasterboard or plywood.
