At home, I want to feel comfortable, and to create a comfortable atmosphere, you need to take care of the following: insulation, strong walls, reliable roof and high-quality ventilation. If you built a warm house from a natural stone, which is just like a century, but did not do ventilation there, it will be very uncomfortable in it. The absence or insufficiency of ventilation leads to a damage of finishes, carrying structures and the emergence of diseases at residents. In this article we will tell how to spend the competent installation of the ventilation pipe in a private house and an urban apartment.

Installation of ventilation pipe
In a private house, the issue of ventilating residential and technical premises is in the first place. If possible, it should be solved before the occurrence of colds so that the condensate accumulated on the walls and windows does not cause damage. To do this, you need to choose and install the air duct.
Choosing an air duct
First of all, it is necessary to pick up the air duct. Depending on the material from which it is made, the operational characteristics are changed. The most important thing in this business is to correctly calculate the size and choose the type of pipe, and it is not difficult to cope with installation.
The choice should be carried out, taking into account the provisions of the corresponding SNiP, which states that the ventilation pipes should quickly remove the exhaust air from the premises. To make it possible, it is necessary to calculate the length and diameter of the air ducts, pushing out the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises, their destination, etc. For example, in the kitchen, the air is polluted faster, therefore, it is necessary to outward it faster. But in the hallway or living room replacement can be made preferred.
Air ducts can be made of bricks, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum or high-strength plastic. Each materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, no matter how much the species you choose, the pipe should be durable, durable, immune to atmospheric changes and temperature differences.
When choosing can also be repelled from the complexity of the installation of the air duct and the cost of its subsequent maintenance. There are no serious differences in the technology of installing various types of pipes, and the installation for the most part differs only by the shape and sizes of the outlet for the pipe, which must be done in the wall, overlap or roofing cake.
Installing ventilation pipes in a private house
It is possible to install air ducts on the roof, both when the house is erected 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 channels must be made in the bearing walls during their construction. The tube outlet should be located above the skunk beam by 50 cm or more. This will not allow twist on the roof surface to break the craving inside. In order for the ventilation channel to function most effectively, place it in the central part of the house.
Material for the construction of the ventilation shaft was chosen full-scale red brick. It has good thermal insulation characteristics, durability and durability. To reduce the likelihood of excessive cooling of the air duct in the winter time, the molding of the ventilation pipe should be made at least 2.5 bricks. If you make the thickness of the machine small, then, instead of removing the spent air out of the room, the air duct will draw the cold air masses inside.
Useful advice: So that the air masses move freely and could flow from the room to the room, leave a small lumen between the floor and the doorway, 2 cm. Also for this purpose you can make special overhead holes. They look pretty aesthetically, and you can pick up a grid or insert in accordance with the interior design.
If the house is already built, it is to make ventilating pipes in it, use polymer or metal products. Installation can be carried out through the opening in the wall or remove the pipe right through the roof. The last way will take more strength and time, but will give a better result. Keep in mind that you will have to remove the honor of roofing pie, and then everything is very careful. To reduce the complexity of the work, you can use ready-made nodes of passage made of high-strength plastic. The removal of the pipe through the roof may be needed to ventilate the attic room, the arrangement of the ventilation system of the sewage and the overall ventilation of all residential and technical premises in the house.
Installation of ventilation pipes:
- Choose a place where the air duct will be located. At the same time, consider the prescriptions of SNiP and the design features of the product.
- Make marking, applying the cutting of the pipe section.
- Cut in the overlap the opening on the markup.
- Make a similar hole in thermal insulation, waterproofing and remaining layers of roofing cake. No need to cut everything at once - work with each layer separately so that everything happens neatly.
- Make the layout of the location of the passage node and drill several holes through which it will be fixed with screws or screws.
- Place a sealing rubber gasket, wrapping it with the back of the weather-resistant sealant.
- Install the node on the gasket and lock it.
- Insert the pipe into the knot, carefully adjusing it vertically with the help level. Many instead of the finished node prefer to use a rubber cuff. It reliably protects the design from the penetration of moisture and garbage, since it is very tightly adjacent to the pipe.
If you do not want to breathe roof or simply do not need to display ventilation through it, you can put the pipe through the hole in the wall.
How to remove ventilation through the wall:
- Make marking on the wall at the pipe outlet. The diameter of the opening should be a little more duct section.
- Cut out the outlined line contours, holding a perforator strictly horizontally so that there is no distortion.
- Select the cut parts of the wall with a hammer or chisel, removing it in parts.
- In the resulting hole, shove the pipe and fill the space between the wall and the air duct of the mounting foam.
- When the foam dries, remove the surplus using the stationery knife.
- Calculate the exit point of the pipe from the wall outside the facade plaster, and from the inside - starting.
- At both exit pipes, attach plastic lattices with screws - they will not allow you to penetrate into small rodents, insects and Musor.
- If necessary, adjust the pipe to the required length, fixing it to the wall with the help of metal clamps.
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in mounting the ventilation pipes, and with this work you can cope with even without specific technique and professional skills. But how to be residents of urban apartments in high-rise buildings? There is no possibility to shift the roof and personally attach pipes to the facade. We will tell about it in the next chapter.
Installing the ventilation pipe for an exhaust in the apartment
In any apartment, the most "needy" in the ventilation the place is a kitchen, since it is there that evaporated, smells are constantly formed, smells, all family members are collected. For this above the stove, many set up hoods. With the choice of drawing is easy, but what should I do if the ventilation canal is pretty far from the plate? If you install the hood not above the stove, there will be no sense from it. Such situations occur pretty parts, and solve the problem helps pipes for hoods.
The ventilation canal in the apartment helps to quickly output the exhaust air outward. In the case of an uncomfortable planning in the kitchen, the only correct solution will be the connection of ventilation pipes with exhaust exhaust and ventilation "window".
It is useful to know: experts do not advise to put a slab and extract over it opposite the ventilation channel, since to remove the exhaust air in this case, a long-length pipe will be required. It is necessary to lay it under the ceiling, which looks not entirely aesthetic, and the service will be harder. Such a pipe will be more expensive, it will be worse to cope with the task and produce more noise. If it is possible, placing the stove with an exhaust right under the ventilation opening in the wall.
Choose a pipe
Pipes for extracts are plastic and corrugated. We suggest to consider the features of each kind to choose the best option for your kitchen. So, plastic pipes can be round or rectangular cross-section. The first to provide the smallest resistance of the air, therefore, they are more efficient compared to rectangular counterparts. However, rectangular products look more beautifully in the interior, merging with walls and furniture. They can be paved under the very ceiling in the corner or over the kitchen headset.
Advantages of plastic pipes for drawing:
- full noise when the exhaust is done;
- small resistance at round products;
- high aesthetics;
- the smooth inner surface is not covered with fat and mud;
- durability.
In order for the air to flow through the pipes smoothly and easily, you need to know how to connect ventilation pipes. To do this, along with the air ducts themselves immediately acquire accessories for fastening and docking.
Corrugated ventilation pipes are cheaper than plastic, and there is a number of natural reasons. First, the corrugation can break or crap from a random strike. Secondly, with time, fat and dirt from cooking accumulate on the inner ribbed surface. Thirdly, such pipes look not very aesthetic 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.
Corrugated pipes and dignity. The most important of them is the elementary installation. To establish such an air duct, you only need to attach one output to the exhaust, and the second to the channel. Fixation is ensured by metal clamps for ventilation pipes, tightened by bolts.
Useful advice: Since all hoods have a square output, and all corrugated pipes are round, immediately acquire the corresponding adapter with a square into a round cross section. And in order to ensure the rapid removal of the exhaust air, you can buy a larger diameter pipe than the exhaust exhaust.
Another pleasant moment of working with corrugations - you can do one whole piece. The pipe is easily stretched, while there are no sharp bends that can seriously disrupt the smoothness of air flow. There are such products at times less than plastic pipes.
How to hide the pipe from the exhaust?
Whatever the ventilation pipe in the house you are installed, it is desirable that she does not spoil his presence interior. Usually in apartments, air ducts from hoods are paved over suspended lockers or near the ceiling, but there are more interesting and efficient ways to distract attention from them.
If the walls of the kitchen are painted with bright paint, the ventilation pipe can also be made of the appropriate color. In some cases, it can be used to emphasize the saturation of the tones, for example, if a bright yellow extract with the same pipe is installed in purple kitchen. For those who prefer less causing combinations, the tubes are suitable with wallpaper or concealing them in a plastic box. The last option is used very often in rooms with suspended ceilings. It weighs a little, so the design can be mounted to the ceiling itself.
The ventilation tube can be turned into a spectacular element of the interior by experiencing it with plasterboard. In the sheets you can insert lamps or LED tape, which will give a beautiful extra backlight of the working area.
Installing the ventilation pipe in a private house will take more time and money compared to work in the apartment, but the specification itself is not too complex in both cases. With such work under the power to cope with any owner without any assistance.
