我最近搬到了巴尔的摩,1922年2-1 / 2的故事殖民地(炎热,潮湿的夏天和相当寒冷的冬天)。以前的主人,当他完成了阁楼过去一年绝缘方面做得很差;他酿2x6的椽之间R-19面玻璃纤维直接抵靠所述屋顶覆,并用石膏板覆盖它(FG面正确地放置到内部)。有在阁楼没有排气在所有 - 屋顶是一个“四坡屋顶”,没有山墙端上并具有在每一侧一个大天窗(?)。今年夏天,气温在阁楼上被扼杀,甚至与A / C运行全通径,和我关心在冬季潮湿问题。问题是房间的设计是非常复杂的,我不想取下来的现有石膏板,因为这将是一个可怕的事业,我们使用的房间经常。我已征询意见来源很多,其中包括两名当地保温contrators。第一contrator拜访我家,说我基本上无能为力,他没想到我会与屋顶腐烂的问题。第二建议泵送PolyMaster塑料泡沫,以完全填充现有玻璃纤维绝缘材料和屋顶之间的所有空隙腔护套,包括在屋檐和到屋顶峰,基本上封闭所述的屋顶和成品室之间的所有空气间隙。该想法是,泡沫都将阻止到达在冬季屋顶水分并防止过热空气被捕获针对夏季屋顶。 The cost would be $1800, which seems very expensive, and I have not seen this practice suggested anywhere else. Does anyone have any recommendations on:

1.将泡沫对屋顶解决的问题(成本不耐受),也就是针对冬季潮湿,夏季炎热积聚保护?
2. Are there any other possible solutions? My top choices have been to either leave it alone and take my chances, or to try to cut a hole in the drywall between each rafter and try to shove something (PVC, etc) between the FG and the roof to add an air gap, then install continuous soffit and ridge venting. This would greatly compress my existing insulation and minimize its effectiveness.
3.我可以画画用型涂料的,将防止潮湿空气渗入石膏板/ FG和深远的冬天屋顶天花板?虽然绝缘面对,从我所看到以前的老板做的不好,离开一定的差距。

Sorry if I was long winded, but I have researched long and hard on this issue to no avail. Please help!!!

嗨wible1,

You seem to have a good handle on what's going on. But for the benefit of others, I'm going to offer more background on what's going on. (You will pick up whatever you can ...)

Well, I'm going to be the bearer of more bad news. What's happening up there is the roof is getting heated (especially in the Summer) and the heat is radiating into your living space right THROUGH the sheathing, insulation, AND drywall. This is really bad especially in summer where your A/C is running all the time. You'll probably NEVER cool that room. And in Winter, you have the same effect except less so but you will have moisture up there as it cools.

之前有任何建议的“问题”,让我来解释一下应该当阁楼是结束了已经完成。谁结束了阁楼上应该已经安装拱腹通风口和拱腹溜槽和岭通风。拱腹通风口被安装在其中允许新鲜空气上升屋檐和沿着经由所述拱腹滑槽屋顶的护套的下侧(冷却屋顶),和通道的热空气经由脊通风口外部。当这种不(如你的情况)出现,增加更多的绝缘不会帮助。总之,屋顶需要保持“酷”,以防止建立任何热量。

如果你想知道一个坡屋顶是什么,看到白边一个坡屋顶(假设此WEB页面加载)。

欲了解更多信息,请参阅OwensCorning.com并有图片和产品链接了。(他们称之为“槽” - 拉夫特通风口...)

现在,你该怎么办???这是个好问题!如果你需要一个新的屋顶,可以考虑安装最轻的彩色带状疱疹你(......嗯,你的妻子)能容忍。这将帮助他以保持热量从屋顶的。除此之外,我会考虑安装斜槽,即使你不得不削减从天花板的部分。但在此之前,我会尽可能多地了解需要做的事情有一个成功的“改造”的东西。(得到正确的尺寸和类型的通风口和槽。是的,他们甚至使拱腹通风口,如果你没有在你家屋檐!)如果您需要了解更多信息或指导,回传。

我最好的雅,希望这会有所帮助。

周杰伦Ĵ,
Thanks for the reply. You're explanation was a good one. Someone suggested to me that filling the cavities between the roof and drywall with foam would help alleviate the heat buildup because the foam would block out any air and would allow for a greater heat gradient, essentially dissipating the heat gain, and that the real cause of heat buildup is superheated air that gets trapped under the roof in the absence of proper ventilation. Do you buy that? I have considered supplementing my A/C with a window unit in the attic to help with the cooling. By the way, the shingles are fairly light and were replaced a couple years ago before I moved in. As you can tell, I am really hoping to find a solution that does not involve removing the drywall, simply because I hate working with drywall (not to mention I don't have a lot of spare time right now). Would you even consider the foam solution?

嗨wible1,

你知道,这对我来说很难说你应该做的事情。我认为,不管“颠覆性”的工作怎么可能,我喜欢把事情做对第一次的那种人,并且做瓦特/它。(再说,我不是你的鞋子......)

No, I don't buy the theory that plugging the holes, or whatever, will do what's being touted. Your heat is a radiant heat problem. A radiant heat problem is one that's similiar to heating an empty pot on the stove. The pot has no holes, yet it gives off heat on the INSIDE if you were to stick your hand in in it and touch the bottom. See what I mean? The hot bottom has nothing to do with the 'air' that's in the pot, even though it is 'warm' too (as you reach through it to touch the bottom.)

你知道吗,你可以独自离开,看看会发生什么事情,至少所有的4个赛季。至于增加一个窗口单位,我会忘记这一点。相反,我会考虑安装天花板通风口有风扇,使暖空气来获得的房间出来。通过冷却所有的热空气,记住:(这将导致模具/霉菌),暖风持有的水分很多,并且通过冷却它,你会得到燥湿了很多表面IMO,坏主意。

So as you see, it's real easy for me to say what you should do. It's a shame the previousl owner did a poor job. The only way you MIGHT have known this is if you actually noticed that there weren't any soffit vents and a ridge vent. Did you have the home inspected??? Did the Inspector catch this??? Were there any 'signs' of mold/mildew when he went up into the attic?

周杰伦Ĵ,你只是我需要说话的家伙!我爱你“喜欢做的工作在第一时间”而这正是我感觉如何的事实。我其实不关心我的破坏程度有去做出正确的事情。这是有原因的事情需要做一定的方式。如果你做这些错误,你会得到什么,但头痛和未来不必要的开支,在我看来。
That said, I have a 1920 American foursquare home. The attic is not finished, but it is a beautiful space! I love the way it feels! The roof shingles need to be replaced within the next 5 years. I would like to replace the outside (down to the wood) with a base layer of roof ice & water shield, followed by metal roofing tiles.
我做这个项目的第一时间是很重要的。我将做的工作我自己。
所以,如果我理解正确,拱腹通风口,槽,脊在外面发泄?难道是屋面材料的一部分?
阁楼里面我与瓦之下实木板裸露的椽子。我可以将这些椽子之间,靠近了墙隔离?如果我做的冰和水盾,然后金属瓦砖......已经放空内置的,对不对?......做我关闭了与它的旋转屋顶通风口阁楼通风孔?
谢谢你,提前,金伯

Your ridge vent is on the underside of your roof where the exterior wall meets the roof, from there air will flow through the vents along the ridgeline of the interior attic space, keeping airflow to the underside of your roof (attic space) this airflow is assisted by installing baffles that are stapled in the 16” on center bays, normally just in the eves but can extend to the ridge if need be. The air then follows the roof line up and out of the ridge vent to completely ventilate the space.

这是说,增加泡沫,防潮层,并关闭了你的前夕及脊发泄你现在正在创建你的屋顶和瓦之间的密封空间。这样做化妆确保木前小于18%的水分含量。这将重新创建你是建筑围护结构,并提供一个真正宜居的阁楼,现在必须进行调节。

对不起不脊通风口,拱腹排气口。
