At home I want to feel comfortable, and in order to create a comfortable atmosphere, you need to take care of the following: insulation, strong walls, a reliable roof and high -quality ventilation. If you have built a warm house made of natural stone, which will be simple for centuries, but have not done ventilation there, it will be very inconvenient to live in it. The absence or insufficiency of ventilation leads to damage to the finishes, carrying structures and the appearance of diseases in residents. In this article we will tell you how to conduct a competent installation of a ventilation pipe in a private house and a city apartment.

Installation of a ventilation pipe
In a private house, the issue of ventilation of residential and technical premises is in the first place. If possible, it should be decided before the onset of cold weather so that the condensate accumulated over the winter on the walls and windows does not harm. To do this, you need to choose the right and install air duct.
Choosing an air duct
First of all, it is necessary to choose a duct. Depending on the material from which it is made, operational characteristics are changing. The most important thing in this case is to correctly calculate the size and choose the type of pipe, and it will not be difficult to cope with the installation.
The choice must be carried out taking into account the provisions of the corresponding SNiP, which states that ventilation pipes should quickly remove the exhaust air from the premises. To do this possible, it is necessary to calculate the length and diameter of the air ducts, starting from the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises, their purpose, etc. For example, in the kitchen, air is polluted faster, therefore, it must be removed outward faster. But in the hallway or living room, replacement can be made more precise.
The ducts can be made of brick, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum or high -strength plastic. Each of the materials has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, no matter what type you choose, the pipe should be strong, durable, immune to atmospheric changes and temperature differences.
When choosing, you can also build on the complexity of installing the air duct and the cost of its subsequent maintenance. There are no serious differences in the installation technology of various types of pipes, and the installation for the most part differs only in the shape and size of the output for the pipe, which must be done in the wall, ceiling or roofing cake.
Installation of ventilation pipes in a private house
You can install air ducts on the roof both during the construction of the house, and after it has already been commissioned. The method described below is suitable for the ventilation device in multi-storey and private houses in 2-3 floors. For this, ventilation ducts must be done in the load -bearing walls during their construction. The output of the pipe should be located above the skate beam by 50 cm or more. This will not allow swirling on the surface of the roof to break the thrust inside. In order for the ventilation duct to function most effectively, place it in the central part of the house.
The material for the construction of the ventilation shaft was chosen a full -bodied red brick. It has good heat -insulating characteristics, strength and durability. To reduce the probability of excessive cooling of the duct in the winter, the laying of the ventilation pipe should be carried out at least 2.5 bricks. If you make the thickness of the machine the machine, then, instead of removing the exhaust air from the room, the duct will begin to pull the cold air masses inward.
Useful advice: so that the air masses move freely and can flow from the room to the room, leave a small clearance of 2 cm between the floor and the door leaf. Also for this purpose you can make special re -outbuildings. They look quite aesthetically pleasing, and you can choose a lattice or insert in accordance with the interior design.
If the house is already built, then to lay ventilation pipes in it, use polymer or metal products. Installation can be carried out through an opening in the wall or removed the pipe directly through the roof. The last method will take more effort and time, but it will give a better result. Keep in mind that you will have to delete the honor of the roofing cake, and then everything is very thoroughly affected. To reduce the complexity of the work, you can use ready -made passage nodes made of high -strength plastic. The removal of the pipe through the roof may be needed to ventilate the attic, arranging the ventilation system of sewage and general ventilation of all residential and technical premises in the house.
Installation of ventilation pipes:
- Select the place where the air duct will be located. In this case, take into account the instructions of SNiP and the design features of the product.
- Mark, applying the contours of the shape of the pipe section.
- Cut the opening opening in the overlap.
- Make a similar hole in thermal insulation, waterproofing and other layers of the roof pie. No need to cut everything at once - work with each layer separately, so that everything works out carefully.
- Mark the location of the passage node and drill several holes through which it will be fixed with screws or self -tapping screws.
- Lay the sealing rubber laying, smearing it from the back of the atmosphere -resistant sealant.
- Install the node on the gasket and fix it.
- Insert the pipe into the knot, carefully adjusting its verticality using the building level. Many, instead of a finished node, prefer to use a rubber cuff. It reliably protects the structure from moisture and garbage penetration, because it adjacent to the pipe very tightly.
If you do not want to hole the roof or there is simply no need to remove ventilation through it, you can let the pipe through the hole in the wall.
How to remove ventilation through the wall:
- Mark on the wall at the pipe exit site. The diameter of the hole should be slightly larger than the section of the duct.
- Cut out the contours along the intended line, holding the punching strictly horizontally so that distortions fail.
- Knock the cut parts of the wall with a hammer or chisel, removing it in parts.
- Sin the pipe into the resulting hole and fill the space between the wall and the duct with mounting foam.
- When the foam dries, remove the excess using a stationery knife.
- Send the output place of the pipe from the wall outside with facade plaster, and from the inside - the starting.
- At both exit of the pipes, attach plastic grilles with self -tapping pipes - they will not allow small rodents, insects and garbage inside.
- If necessary, increase the pipe to the required length, fixing it to the wall using metal clamps.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the mounting of ventilation pipes, and this work can be handled even without specific equipment and professional skills. But what about the residents of city apartments in multi -storey buildings? There is no way to perfor the roof and independently attach the pipes to the facade. We will talk about this in the next chapter.
Installation of a ventilation pipe for extract in the apartment
In any apartment, the kitchen is the most “needy” in ventilation, since it is there that evaporation, smells are constantly formed, all family members gather. To do this, many install hoods above the stove. It is easy to cope with the choice of hood, but what to do if the ventilation duct is located quite far from the stove? If you install the hood over the stove, there will be no use from it. Such situations are found enough, and pipe pipes help to solve the problem.
The ventilation canal in the apartment helps to quickly remove the exhaust air outward. In the case of an uncomfortable layout in the kitchen, the only right solution will be the connection of ventilation pipes with the output of the hood and the ventilation “window”.
It is useful to know: experts do not advise putting the plate and hood over it opposite the ventilation canal, since in this case a large length pipe will be required to remove the exhaust air. It will have to be laid under the ceiling, which does not look quite aesthetically pleasing, and maintenance will be more difficult. Such a pipe will cost more, it will be worse to cope with the task and make more noise. If possible, place the plate with the hood right under the ventilation opening in the wall.
Choose a pipe
Pipe pipes are plastic and corrugated. We offer to consider the features of each species in order to choose the best option for your kitchen. So, plastic pipes can be round or with a rectangular section. The former provide the least air resistance, therefore, they are more effective compared to rectangular analogues. However, rectangular products look more beautiful in the interior, merging with the walls and furniture. They can be laid under the very ceiling in the corner or over the kitchen set.
Advantages of plastic pipes for hoods:
- complete absence of noise during the operation of the hood;
- low resistance in round products;
- high aesthetics;
- the smooth inner surface is not covered with fat and dirt;
- durability.
In order for the air to flow through the pipes smoothly and easily, you need to know how to combine ventilation pipes. To do this, together with the air ducts themselves, immediately purchase accessories for fastening and docking.
Corrugated ventilation pipes are cheaper than plastic, and there are a number of natural reasons for this. Firstly, the corrugation can break or crack from an accidental blow. Secondly, over time, fat and dirt from cooking accumulate on the inner ribbed surface. Thirdly, such pipes look not very aesthetically pleasing and can shake the integrity of the design. Of course, they can be hidden in a plasterboard box, but these are additional temporary and financial costs.
Corporal pipes and dignity have. The most important of them is the elementary installation. To install such a duct, you only need to attach one way out to the hood, and the second to the channel. Fixation is provided due to metal clamps for ventilation pipes tightened by bolts.
Useful advice: since all hoods have a square output, and all corrugated pipes are round, immediately purchase an appropriate adapter from a square to a round section. And in order to ensure the rapid excretion of spent air, you can buy a pipe of a larger diameter than the output of the hood.
Another pleasant moment of working with the corrugation - you can do with one whole piece. The pipe is easily stretched, while sharp bends are not formed that can seriously disrupt the smoothness of the air. Such products are many times less than plastic pipes.
How to hide the pipe from the hood?
Whatever ventilation pipe in the house you install, it is desirable that it does not spoil the interior with its presence. Usually, in apartments, air ducts from hoods are laid on top of suspended lockers or near the ceiling, but there are more interesting and effective ways to distract attention from them.
If the walls of the kitchen are painted with bright paint, the ventilation pipe can also be made the corresponding color. In some cases, with its help, you can emphasize the saturation of tones, for example, if a bright yellow hood with the same pipe is installed in the purple kitchen. For those who prefer less evoking combinations, pipe pipe is suitable for wallpaper or hiding them in a plastic box. The last option is used very often in rooms with suspended ceilings. It weighs a little, so the structure can be attached to the ceiling itself.
The ventilation pipe can be turned into a spectacular element of the interior by shearing it with drywall. You can insert lamps or LED tape into the sheets, which will give a beautiful additional lighting of the working area.
The installation of a ventilation pipe in a private house will take more time and money compared to work in the apartment, but the specificity of the installation itself is not too complicated in both cases. With such a job, any owner can do without outside help.
