Izover insulation technical specifications. Technical characteristics and properties of insulation isover

Glass fibers are the basis of ISOVER. The length of one of the thousand fibers reaches 150 microns with a thickness of 5 microns. These parameters make the material very elastic and durable.

ISOVER can be used at any stage of building erection. Manufacturers promise thermal protection of the highest level.

ISOVER specifications are as follows:

Low thermal conductivity. It provides a high degree of thermal protection
Excellent sound reduction properties. Provides significant noise reduction
High environmental friendliness of the material. Can be used to warm any room
Durability. This material can last at least 5 decades
Fire resistance. It doesn't really burn, but high temperatures capable of melting
Lightness of weight. Thanks to this indicator, isover can even be used for insulation of stacked structures.

Density of airtight ISOVER at the level of 13 kg/m3. During installation, it is possible (due to the softness of the material) to reduce the density of adhesion to the wall.

When buying ISOVER, you should ask for quality certificates. If the material is produced under license, then the seller must show documents confirming the EN 13162 and ISO 9001 standards. These ensure that ISOVER is made from safe materials, and therefore there is no prohibition for its use indoors.

Glass wool Isover types and specifications

Isover is produced in rolls, mats and plates, which differ in their dimensions.

Glass wool is made from the remnants of the glass industry, less often from the main raw material that is used to make glass. There are some restrictions that narrow the scope of the use of Izover glass wool insulation. Technical characteristics of the material preclude operation in a humid environment without additional protection. This insulation absorbs moisture very strongly, and dries poorly. At the same time, when the material gets wet, it ceases to perform the functions of thermal insulation. Therefore, it is necessary to use special films that do not allow moisture to penetrate into the Izover insulation. Reviews unequivocally confirm the failure of the material without steam and waterproofing.

Glass wool is available in:

rolls;
mats;
slabs.

What is the difference between them? Rolls - soft rectangular segments insulation, which differ from mats in their length (they are longer). Mats are also wrapped in rolls, but they are shorter and somewhat denser. Usually two mats are wound in one roll. The plates are denser, they are not rolled up and are sold in rectangular packages. Various materials are applied to internal and external works. Izover mineral wool insulation - characteristics common to all positions:

thermal conductivity coefficient - in the range from 0.037 to 0.044 W / m * C;
combustibility group - NG, that is, does not burn;
moisture absorption is high.

Let's take a closer look at Isover insulation. The technical characteristics of each type differ quite a bit, mainly in dimensions and density.

Before insulating the wall in panel house from the inside, consider the option of outdoor work, according to technology - this is more correct.

Technical characteristics of Astratek liquid insulation are described here.

Rolls

Sauna - thickness 50 and 100 mm, laminated with foil. Used for wall insulation different kind bath from the inside.

mats

Pro - used inside and out, a versatile material that is popular. Thickness 50, 100 and 150 mm. Classic - thickness 50 mm, 2 mats are wound in a roll. It is used for warming floors, roofs along the logs, ceilings along the crate. Frame M37 - thickness options 40, 50, 60, 100 and 150 mm. It is used to fill the interwall space during insulation frame houses. Frame M34 - thickness 50 mm, less dense than M37. M40AL frame - foil insulation 50, 100 and 150 mm thick.

Plates

Izover application, its specificity and varieties

It is known that about forty percent of heat loss occurs through the wall partitions of the building, so the insulation " weaknesses» quality material, subject to and following all the rules of installation - this is a guarantee of maintaining heat in the house. As a result, spending on more expensive and reliable insulation will provide further savings on heating all rooms in the cold season.

The manufacturing company offers customers to choose the most suitable insulation among several types, which can be divided depending on the application.

Areas of application of Izover thermal insulation:

roofs and ceilings;
external walls;
internal, interroom partitions.

Isover KL-34

This type of Izover product is a plate, the thickness of which can be 5 or 10 centimeters. It is suitable for insulation of any planes - vertical, horizontal, inclined. Due to the tight fit on the frame, the use of additional fasteners is not required. Often, KL-34 boards are used to insulate ventilated facades.

Isover KL-37

A soft fiberglass based thermal insulation designed to work in buildings where the insulation is not heavily stressed. Interestingly, the packaged material is subjected to additional compression by 2 times - this helps to reduce the total volume, thereby slightly reducing shipping costs. Like the previous type of Izover insulation, KL-37 does not need additional fasteners. However, it should be remembered that during installation it is necessary to observe the condition - to strive for the tightest fit of the plates to the surface.

Isover KT-37

It is used for insulation of attic rooms, roofs, as well as interfloor ceilings. The main difference from KL-37 is that it is a roll material. The rest of the characteristics, recommendations for operation and installation are the same.

Isover KT-40

It is supplied in rolls and, unlike other Izover products, this type of material consists of two layers, each of which is 5 centimeters thick. KT-40 will ideal option if the installation is made in wooden or metal carcass, where the distance between the racks is 60 centimeters.

Isover STYROFOAM 300A

Produced in the form of plates with extruded polystyrene foam. This material requires the use of fasteners. Due to the special composition of STYROFOAM 300A boards, the heat and moisture protection indicators are higher than those of many similar products. This type of insulation Izover has found its application in the thermal insulation of walls, floors and flat roofs. It is allowed to apply a layer of plaster directly on top of the slabs.

Isover VENTITERM

Insulation based mineral wool with basalt fibres. The versatility of this material is due to the fact that installation can be carried out both with the use of fasteners and without it. Professionals have long found use for this insulation in the insulation of plumbing systems and ventilation pipes.

Izover Pitched roof

To protect the roof, Izover Pitched Roof has been specially designed. This type of insulation allows not only to keep warm, but also, due to the ability to absorb sounds from the outside, creates an atmosphere of peace and quiet. The positive properties also include the incombustibility of the material and good vapor permeability. It must be remembered that the step truss system must match the dimensions of the insulation boards.

Izover Soundproofing

Izover Sound Protection mats and slabs are specially designed to minimize the possibility of outside noise penetration. Installation can be carried out in internal partitions or suspended ceilings.

Izover Sauna

Heater Izover Sauna. In addition to the fact that this material has all the qualities of a high-class insulation, Izover Sauna also creates a vapor barrier, making it ideal for installation in baths, saunas and rooms with high humidity. The material is mats with a thickness of 5 or 10 centimeters and is supplied in rolls.

For the convenience of searching and selecting the right product, the manufacturer of thermal insulation materials Izover developed and presented a line of products indicating the purpose and scope right in the title:

Izover Warm House.
Izover Warm Roof.
Izover Warm Walls.
Izover Quiet House.

Basalt insulation

In addition to fiberglass plates, basalt insulation based on stone fibers is produced under the Izover brand.

The main technical differences of basalt wool:

higher price.
basalt wool is more durable.
stronger and denser than glass wool.
less elastic, more brittle.
higher moisture resistance and heat resistance.
available in slabs.
less compression ratio - transportation is more expensive, takes up more storage space.

Expert advice: basalt insulation is recommended for use in places with a higher load, because. it has a higher density.

In fact, the line of this mineral wool is not much different from fiberglass-based materials:

Isover Optimal. Supplied in slabs 50 and 100 mm thick. Designed for insulation and sound protection of pitched roofs and ceilings.
Light. Designed for frame structures, has increased elasticity. Mineral wool is supplied in slabs with a thickness of 50 and 100 mm.
Acoustic. Sound absorption class "A".
Isover Ruf B, Ruf N. Designed for flat roofing.
Isover Flor. Supplied in slabs with a thickness of 30, 40 and 50 mm. Reduces impact noise up to 35 dB.
Isover Plaster. It is applied to plaster facades.
Isover Facade-Master. It is used for insulation of plaster facades. Plate thickness 30, 50, 100 and 150 mm.
Venti. Differs in the increased vapor permeability.
Isover Standard. Used in multi-layer masonry.

To say unequivocally which insulation is better, stone or glass wool will not work. Both types have advantages and disadvantages - the choice depends on the conditions of use of the insulation and the requirements for it.

Today Izover is the most popular mineral wool in the domestic market. building materials. With a diverse product line, high quality and affordable price he receives best reviews from consumers. According to many builders, it has the best price-quality ratio among competitors.

Technical characteristics of insulation Izovol

The technical characteristics of the insulation have not only positive qualities associated with thermal insulation. There are also secondary advantages, such as service life, environmental friendliness and the weight of the insulation, which play a big role during installation.

Service life of the heater- this is one of the most important factors. Insulation can serve for 50 years without deteriorating the thermal insulation properties of the material. Surely no one will use material that will last a year, because installing a heater is still not an easy job, and therefore it wins other models according to these criteria.
Many buildings require insulation, but you also have to follow and for environmental regulations, using one or another heater. Many heaters are simply not suitable due to their low environmental aspect, and therefore most often when insulating residential buildings, kindergartens, hospitals and many others public institutions Isovol is used. The material has passed a lot of checks, including at the Institute of Cancer, where it received a certificate of safety for use.
The weight of the material is quite small, so Izovol can be easily used on buildings that, to put it mildly, have already outlived their time. The walls of many buildings may simply not withstand the load, but when using insulation, the walls will actually not feel the additional load.

Briefly about the manufacturer

As mentioned above, ISOVER is a trademark of the Saint-Gobain industrial group. The company has 350 years of history headquartered in Paris. The company has representative offices in 67 countries of the world. In addition to ISOVER, Saint-Gobain produces ISOROC and ISITEC brand insulation.

On the territory of Russia, the enterprises are located in Yegorievsk and Chelyabinsk near Moscow. The products are manufactured according to the original technology, are subject to mandatory international certification, and comply with GOST standards. It should be noted that since 2013, enterprises launched a production line for the production of basalt wool under the brand of the same name.

Mounting

Let's get acquainted with the features of the installation of building materials on different components of residential buildings.

Roof

Important! The insulator sheets must be laid across the roof slope starting from the bottom with an overlap of 10 cm.

For installation of mineral wool on the roof, work must be performed in the following order:

Installation of vapor barrier from the inside of the roof.
When using rolled insulation, you need to cut off pieces equal to the slope of the roof and lay them between the rafters.
Mineral wool slabs are laid close to each other, since the quality of thermal insulation depends on this.
Laying a waterproofing membrane. It must be placed with some hanging between the rafters.

Important! In order for Isover to be laid airtight, it is necessary that the width of the slab be 2-3 cm more than the distance between the rafters.

Facade

To insulate the facade, mineral wool is used in slabs with dimensions of 60 * 120 or 100 * 120 cm. Izover standard can be used. For a temperate continental climate, the optimal layer thickness is about 10 cm. For areas with more severe winters, 15 cm slabs are used.

Installation work includes the following steps:

Installation at the bottom of the walls of the profile with a width equal to the thickness of the wool.
Installation of wool slabs close to each other using a special adhesive applied at 6-9 points. You need to check the evenness of the walls using a level and a rule.
Each plate is fixed with "fungi" or "umbrellas".
This is followed by work on the installation of corners, reinforcement and application decorative plaster. Another option is cladding with siding or brick.

Characteristics of Izover

Minimal heat loss guaranteed simple property air placed in the closed space between the fibers of the material, this is what makes the material so warm. In addition, Izover can also be used as a sound insulator and the company declares it as absolutely safe for health. It can be used not only for external insulation of facades, but also for internal insulation of rooms in a residential building, including children's rooms.

The vapor permeability of the material is also of great importance, since the accumulation of moisture in the structure of the material leads to a loss of thermal properties. However, when Izover insulates foundations, plinths and facades, experts recommend leaving at least 2 cm for sufficient ventilation. For water repellency, the material is impregnated with water repellents, which guarantee the absence of not only moisture, but also biological threats. Therefore, the manufacturer can guarantee a 50-year service life of the material.

Areas of use

Mineral basalt wool Isover is widely used in the field of thermal insulation. It is applied to warming of all objects of civil and industrial function. There are practically no contraindications for its use. For the installation of mineral wool, there are 4 installation methods:

on a metal frame
on a wooden frame,
on bracket
on the base profile.

To choose best way it is necessary according to the characteristics of the product, in particular, this concerns the correct choice of its size and typical modification. And it is best to consult with the manufacturer. An incorrectly chosen method can lead to unforeseen circumstances such as rejection of a multilayer insulation or bulging of individual sections, as well as air gaps and cold bridges can form inside the sandwich.

Disadvantages of mineral wool

No matter how perfect a proven and technically tested material is, there are still negative sides. As for Izover mineral wool, the only negative can be pointed out: the danger of stone dust. On direct contact, it can cause bronchial asthma or allergic dermatitis, therefore it is recommended to work with cotton wool in overalls, gloves and in a respirator.

Do-it-yourself installation of Izover mineral wool

For thermal insulation various designs The manufacturer has a wide range of products. To choose thermal insulation material should be based on its characteristics (mainly density) and the manufacturer's recommendations. Mats with a low density are better suited for horizontal surfaces; for thermal insulation of walls, it is better to buy plates with a higher density.

Laying mineral thermal insulation in two layers will help eliminate the appearance of cold bridges and cracks in the structure.

Don't forget quality vapor and waterproofing thermal insulation layer, since mineral wool is able to absorb moisture, while losing its thermal insulation characteristics. Before laying isover glass wool, waterproofing should be laid on the structure, you can use ordinary polyethylene film for this. From above, the mineral wool should be covered with a superdiffusion membrane.

How is it made

So, what is the Isover insulation? The characteristics of any insulating material depend primarily on how accurately the required technologies will be observed in the process of its production. Isover insulation is made as follows:

Quartz sand, cullet, limestone, and other minerals are thoroughly mixed beforehand.
The resulting mixture is melted at a temperature of 1300 gr. until a homogeneous fluid plastic mass is obtained.
In a special installation, this liquid glass is fed from a great height onto a bowl rotating at high speed, in the walls of which there are small holes. Under the action of centrifugal force, the hot mass is squeezed out in the form of long thin threads.
The fibers are mixed with a yellow polymer adhesive.
The resulting sticky mass is fed into a special furnace, where it is rolled between steel shafts and blown with hot air. As a result, the glue seizes, and the layer itself is leveled.
Finished glass wool goes under the circular saws for cutting into slabs of the required size.

Areas of application for insulation

Given the universal properties, low price and various forms of release, the use of the material can be very versatile. For example, the main areas of use of Izover are:

For baths and saunas, a foil isover is used.
Ceilings, interfloor ceilings are insulated with a less dense material.
Izover of increased density is used for floors and roofs.
It is used when installing plastic windows.
For insulation of balconies.
For insulation of basements and basements.
Interior partitions are insulated, taking into account the fact that the material has good sound insulation.
For facade insulation.

Reliable and durable material (the manufacturer declares 50 years of warranty operation) can be an excellent insulation not only for a private house, but also for an apartment, as well as for non-residential buildings. Good luck to everyone and warm homes!

Specifications

Isover- it is a heat and sound insulating material, it is used for warming any structural elements inside and outside the building. Under this insulation, it is necessary to level the surface, since the main condition for using this insulation is a snug fit to the surface.

Main characteristics:

low thermal conductivity;
high level of sound insulation;
resistance to colonization by fungus, small insects, rodents due to special impregnations;
ease of transportation, installation provides a small weight of the material, its density is 13kg / m3;
elasticity of the material;
resistance to chemicals;
long service life.

Thermal conductivity

For thermal insulation materials, thermal conductivity is main characteristic. For various types isover, it ranges from 0.035 to 0.044 W / mK, which is much less compared to other analogues.

Subject to the installation technology, this characteristic will not change over time. This ensures the prevention of heat loss through the supporting and enclosing structures of the building.

Soundproofing

The structure of the isover insulation, consisting of thin glass fibers and an air gap, and low dynamic stiffness create effective noise protection. It is used to provide sound insulation in structures where the sound insulation material does not carry the load.

combustibility

According to the current GOST 30244-94“Construction materials. Test methods for combustibility”, Isover belongs to the class of non-combustible materials. Therefore, it is used for insulation and soundproofing indoors for various purposes and in low-rise construction.

Isover is also used as an effective insulation in log, frame or panel wooden residential and public houses.

Vapor permeability

Isover vapor permeability is 0.50 - 0.55 mg / mchPa and is one of the main disadvantages of this material. In the absence of vapor barrier, the quality of the insulation will decrease as moisture accumulates.

With an increase in humidity by 1%, the level of thermal insulation decreases to 10%. But under the influence of temperature or sufficient ventilation, the material dries quickly.

To prevent the absorption of moisture, a vapor barrier is used, and a gap of 2–4 cm is left between the isover and the wall for ventilation.

Life time

Heat and sound insulating the quality of the material does not deteriorate over time, subject to the installation technology. For 50 years, the thermal insulation parameters of the isover in the building structures have not deteriorated.

Environmental friendliness and harmlessness

Isover made from natural materials, it does not have harmful substances such as artificial resins, formaldehyde. It is a hypoallergenic material, safe for human life. Based on the research, the absence of harmful emissions during operation was revealed.

Insulation weight

What is the weight of the heater? Isover weight much less than similar heaters. Specific gravity isover is 2.5. Therefore, it is used for the insulation of buildings made of wood, cinder concrete, thin-walled bricks.

Release form

Isover produced in the form of plates and rolls in the package. The elasticity of the material allows it to be compressed in the package, which is very convenient for storage and transportation. After opening the package, the isover quickly acquires its initial dimensions. Roll sizes - length 7-14 meters, width - 1.2 meters.

Other characteristics

Double layer rolls can be divided into layers before installation. Isover should not be used at temperatures above 250 degrees Celsius.

In a humid environment isover:

has water-repellent properties;
slowly absorbs moisture and water.

Real Isover heaters have a certificate of conformity and comply with all safety standards listed in the requirements of the Customs Union.

Characteristics of Izover

Before you buy Izover, it will not be superfluous to learn about all the features of this material, its technical characteristics, advantages and principles of installation. A fairly wide range of species of this material is presented on the market, the parameters of which are given below:

Thermal conductivity - 0.031-0.041 W / mK. Such a low figure leads to excellent insulation and heat saving performance with stable preservation over a long period.
Density - 10-20 kg/m3.
Flammability. Izover belongs to the NG class (completely non-combustible materials). Foil and semi-rigid insulation of this type belongs to the category SG (low combustible).
Vapor permeability - 0.5-0.55 mg / mchPa. Fiberglass absorbs moisture, but releases it completely as it dries. Therefore, subject to the installation rules and the design of the ventilation gap between the layers, there are no problems with a decrease in thermal insulation properties.
Air permeability - 120x10-6m3/m*s*Pa.

Sound insulation corresponds to high rates due to the presence of an air gap between the fiberglass.

Period of operation. The warranty period is at least 50 years.
Weight. Isover is light in weight, therefore suitable for installation on structures with a weak bearing load.
Release form. This insulation is supplied to the current market in several versions - rolls, mats, plates.
Thickness -5-10 cm with 1 or 2 layers.
The width of the rolled canvas is 1.2 m with a length of 7-14 meters.
The area of the rolls is 16-20 meters, the plate material is produced in the size of 1 * 1 meter. Important! The price of Izover depends on the type of material, form of release and supplier.

Installation of Isover

Isover is mounted exclusively in a dry way - mainly on a frame made of metal profiles or wood.

Important! One of the advantages of using this insulation is that careful preparation of the base is not required. You can even even out all the flaws in the process of laying the canvas

And this entails not only savings on consumables, but also reduces the time spent on the entire process.

Mounting tools

To do the job you will need:

level;
saw;
screwdriver;
construction knife;

What you need to know when choosing a heater

Thermal conductivity coefficient (λ)

When choosing thermal insulation products, firstly, it is necessary to pay special attention to such an indicator as the coefficient of thermal conductivity - λ (lambda). How less value lambda, the better the house can be insulated, due to the fact that the value of thermal conductivity reflects: how much heat passes through the insulation per unit time.

Thermal conductivity coefficient is measured as W/(m*K). (watt per meter per kelvin)

Types of thermal conductivity (λ)

Dry lambdas (installed by the manufacturer at the factory):
λ10 - coefficient of thermal conductivity, fixed at 10°С. An indicator declared by the manufacturer.

Wet lambdas (installed by the manufacturer at different degrees of humidity):
λA and λB - thermal conductivity coefficients for different conditions operation (according to SP 50.13330.2012). Measurements are carried out by licensed laboratories at material moisture content of 2% and 5%. The coefficient is used in heat engineering calculations in construction.

Choose a heater according to the value of thermal conductivity, because the lower the coefficient, the more efficiently the house will be insulated. For example, if the thermal conductivity value is 0.036, this will be enough for 50 mm of thermal protection to replace 95 cm of brick

Which insulation to choose: in slabs or rolls?

All ISOVER products have high elasticity, which means that the material is firmly and stably held without the use of additional fasteners. Both rolls and plates are used in different designs. The form is determined depending on the room.

Convenience when insulating large surface areas, ease of installation due to the fact that one roll can insulate a large area of the house.
When used, fewer joints appear, and therefore, the permeability of air flows decreases.
Small consumption of material.
Suitable for non-standard rafter pitch, easy to cut to the required width.

Recommended for warming small rooms.
Suitable when working for one person.
Fixed by surprise without the use of additional fasteners.

Do-it-yourself installation of Izover mineral wool

For thermal insulation of various structures, the manufacturer has a wide range of products. The choice of thermal insulation material should be based on its characteristics (mainly density) and the manufacturer's recommendations. Mats with a low density are better suited for horizontal surfaces; for thermal insulation of walls, it is better to buy plates with a higher density.

"Izover" - insulation, specifications which allow us to judge it as one of the most effective materials to date. It has a very wide scope. It is made of fiberglass and comes in the form of easy-to-mount plates and mats. It is used both to isolate small private houses, and high-rise buildings or industrial buildings. Also, this type of insulation is very well suited for protecting water pipes and other household communication systems from the cold.

How is it made

So, what is the Isover insulation? The characteristics of any depend primarily on how accurately the required technologies will be observed in the process of its production. Isover insulation is made as follows:

Broken glass, limestone, and other minerals are pre-mixed thoroughly.
The resulting mixture is melted at a temperature of 1300 gr. until a homogeneous fluid plastic mass is obtained.
In a special installation, this liquid glass is fed from a great height onto a bowl rotating at high speed, in the walls of which there are small holes. Under the action of centrifugal force, the hot mass is squeezed out in the form of long thin threads.
The fibers are mixed with a yellow polymer adhesive.
The resulting sticky mass is fed into a special furnace, where it is rolled between steel shafts and blown with hot air. As a result, the glue seizes, and the layer itself is leveled.
Finished glass wool goes under the circular saws for cutting into slabs of the required size.

Material advantages

The advantages of the Izover insulation (the characteristics of which will be discussed below) include primarily:

ease of installation;
low degree of thermal conductivity;
high degree of fire resistance;
universality;
light weight;
excellent soundproof qualities;
low cost.

Insulation disadvantages

Of course, like any other building material, Izover plates also have certain disadvantages. These include:

questionable environmental safety;
the need to use protective clothing during installation.

All fibrous materials, including Izover (whose otherwise very good characteristics), absorb water well, which is why they lose a significant part of their heat-preserving qualities.

Scope of application

wall insulation;
heat and sound insulation of internal partitions;
stone and wooden houses in a warming cake;
wall cladding from the inside;
insulation of floors both from above and from below;
roof insulation in houses with residential attics and attics;
winding pipes of communications.

Foundations are usually insulated with polystyrene foam. When using Isover for this purpose, it is necessary to additionally arrange very high-quality waterproofing.

"Izover": characteristics

Of course, before choosing this material for home insulation, you should find out what specific properties it has. There are several varieties of Isover insulator. They are all slightly different in features. Materials of this brand are produced with different indicators density and thermal conductivity.

Insulation "Isover Classic" characteristics, for example, has the following:

This type of Isover insulation is currently the most popular. Other types of insulators of this brand also have good qualities.

Isover is supplied, the characteristics of which, therefore, make it possible to judge it as a really effective insulation, in plates and mats that are convenient for installation.

Mounting Features

The frame for "Izover" can be assembled both from a wooden bursa and from a metal profile. The distance between separate elements the crates should be slightly smaller than the width of the insulation boards. This allows you to install them by surprise.

Of course, Izover, the technical characteristics of which we have described, when used as a heat or sound insulator, must be protected from moisture. In order to prevent it from getting wet, steam and waterproofing films. When assembling a wall or roof pie, in this case, a certain order of installation of materials is observed. The vapor barrier is mounted from the inside. Due to the difference in temperature, the humidity in rooms and attics is usually higher than outside. Therefore, condensation forms on the walls and ceiling. The use of a vapor barrier prevents it from getting on the insulation. It is mounted outside. It protects the Izover from getting wet during rain or melting snow.

Additional fasteners when installing plates, as already mentioned, are not used. They are only needed when mounting the material on the ceiling. In order to completely exclude their loss, in this case, special dowels-"fungi" are used.

Since the material is capable, albeit in small quantities, of emitting substances harmful to human health, when installing it from the inside of the premises, it is necessary to carefully monitor the tightness of all seams of the fine finish.

Varieties

"Isover" - a heater, the technical characteristics of which we examined above - is classified into several popular types. In private housing construction, as already mentioned, the most commonly used material is "Classic", marked with the letter "K". It, in turn, is divided into:

"Isover KL 34" - very soft plates with high heat-shielding properties, used for insulating surfaces without loads.
"Isover KL 35" is a material with a slightly higher density. It is usually used for the same purposes as the 34th variety, that is, for walls and partitions.
"Isover 37" is most often used to insulate floors, roofs and ceilings.
"Izover KT" is usually used for warming basements or attics.

Such a type as Izover Classic Plus is also very popular. Its characteristics are exactly the same as those of the usual "Classic". These two varieties differ only in thickness. "Classic", as you can see from the table, is supplied in 50 mm mats. For "Classic Plus" this figure is 100 mm. There are other varieties of Isover material designed for a variety of purposes (Isover RKL, Isover OL, etc.).

Conclusion

Thus, the Isover insulation, the technical characteristics of which were discussed in detail in this article, is a very warm and high-quality material. It is possible to protect the house from the cold with its use as efficiently as possible. This, as well as not too high cost, explains its extraordinary popularity both among private traders and among small and large developers.

9 Product Reviews

Finally - a few reviews from those who are familiar with the material firsthand.

I am a foreman in a team that performs insulation of low-rise works. Previously, we used Rockwool mineral wool, but we have been working with Izover for a year now. I can say that he is better than Rockwool in all respects. We hear only positive feedback from our clients. In general, I recommend.

Victor, 35 years old, Rostov:

I recently insulated the facade of the house with Izover. For a long time I chose between him and Rockwool mineral wool, in the end deciding that Rockwool was not worth the money they were asking for him, and settled on Izover. Didn't regret it.

I did all the work myself, I can say that it is quite easy to work with slab insulation. I think that in this price category there are no heaters better than Izover.

Technical characteristics of insulation Izover

Technical characteristics of Izover - description of the material, list of variations. Advantages of using Izover thermal insulation.

Isover insulation (isover) - types and characteristics

Modern Izover insulation is produced in the base with basalt or glass fibers. The material is obtained by processing quartz sand, mineral rocks of the basalt group and broken glass. The components are mixed, melted at ultra-high temperatures in special furnaces, and then drawn into fibers of different lengths and thicknesses, fastened with a special type of resin.

Isover insulation is produced in two versions: plates and rolls using our own patented technologies in 1981 and 1957.

The main characteristics of the insulation

Thermal insulation materials of the Isover brand from mineral wool inspire confidence and are in stable demand. Moreover, both slabs and rolls are considered to be among the best thermal insulation on the market.

The main characteristics of the heater include:

Thermal conductivity.
Soundproofing.
Flammability.
Vapor permeability.
Long service life.
Environmental friendliness.
Convenient release form.
Light weight.

As a heat insulator, Izover insulation managed to prove itself from the best side precisely due to the thermal conductivity coefficient equal to 0.041 watts per meter per Kelvin. The coefficient does not change during the operation of the insulation throughout the entire period, the fibers do an excellent job of accumulating and retaining air, preventing heat loss.

The material has excellent sound insulation performance. Fiberglass insulation with an air gap absorbs noise, guaranteeing an optimal level of silence, especially if you use specially adapted types of insulation for the sound insulation layer.

Flammability is also important. Thermal insulation materials with technical characteristics indicating a density of up to 30 kilograms per cubic meter are classified as non-combustible. The materials are successfully used in rooms of any type and purpose, without fear of the spread of fire in the event of a fire.

Thermal insulation boards made of mineral wool with special technical characteristics indicating the presence of an additional layer based on aluminum foil or fiberglass are classified as low combustible.

Such materials are used subject to certain restrictions, which in fact are nothing more than a convention. In practice, insulators are appropriate almost everywhere, the main thing is to follow the instructions fire safety structures prescribed in SNIp.

An important item from the list of technical characteristics of thermal insulation is vapor permeability. The insulation is able to maintain functionality even after contact with moisture. Unlike many modern analogues for thermal insulation, Izover products based on stone wool simply and effectively cope with the problem of moisture penetration into the thermal insulation layer.

The insulation gives off the absorbed moisture as quickly as it receives, the main thing is to leave a small gap (2-3 cm) between it and the wall to maintain ventilation.

Neglecting this simple rule will lead to a violation of the material's ability to remove moisture, which over time will negatively affect the ability to retain heat. Izover heaters have optimal vapor permeability - from 0.50 to 0.55 mg / mchPa.

Analysis of the technical characteristics of the material implies the mention of such an important parameter as the service life. The material not only does not transmit heat, but is also able to serve properly for several decades. The manufacturer claims a service life for heat-insulating plates and rolls of 50 years with full preservation of functionality.

A feature of the material is the water repellents included in the composition, capable of repelling moisture, preventing the reproduction of insects, fungi and the formation of mold, which in turn ensures safety throughout the entire period of use.

Among the technical characteristics of the insulator, environmental friendliness and complete safety for health play special role. Izover materials do not pose any risk to life and health, as they are made from natural raw materials.

The light weight of the insulation is not just one of the characteristics, it is a clear and undeniable advantage. If we compare the insulator with analogues, then its weight is an order of magnitude less, which in turn allows us to expand the scope of application by combining the insulation with surfaces made of not the most durable materials.

An excellent bonus from a manufacturer that focuses on improving the technical characteristics of the finished product can be considered the release form. Insulations are available in several versions - rolls, plates, less often - in mats (for example, ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL).

The average thickness of a single-layer insulation ranges from 50 to 150 mm. The two-layer insulation has a fixed thickness of 5 cm with standard sizes 1 m by 1 m. The roll is produced with an area of 16 to 20 square meters with a constant width of 1.2 meters and a length ranging from 7 to 14 meters.

The technical characteristics in relation to the combustibility of the heat-insulating material should include the following parameters:

The combustibility of thermal insulation boards and rolls based on mineral wool varies within 30 kg/m3, if we are talking about a group of non-combustible materials. Semi-rigid and rigid boards coated with film and foil from the group of low combustible are taken out into a separate category.

Varieties and application of insulation

The description of the main technical characteristics of the material confirms the fact that as a heater it is practically out of competition. Plates and rolls are used for internal and external insulation, practicing the device of a heat-insulating layer of rooms and structures different type and appointments. A heat insulator is presented in a fairly wide range in order to select the most appropriate option.

Thermal insulation for pitched roofs - the most suitable option for isolation:

pitched roof from the inside;
house insulation for siding;
outside pitched roof insulation.

This type of material is characterized by improved moisture resistance, which allows it to be used for insulation of roofs operated in conditions of high humidity.

Another option for stone wool insulation is to improve the quality of sound protection. The material is suitable for insulating partitions, insulating structures for siding, insulating floors along logs and walls inside the house.

Izover for soundproofing has excellent soundproofing properties, indispensable for improving the properties in partitions and other structures.

Another type of stone wool insulation is Izover Classic Plus. The material is suitable for insulation of almost all types of surfaces, has a thermal insulation coefficient of 0.041 W.

It is sold in the form of lightweight plates with a thickness in two versions: 50 mm and 100 mm, in packs of 7 and 14 pieces. Plates Classic are easy to use, suitable for installation in rooms with a limited area. The material does not require the use of special fasteners, it is used to isolate partitions, suspended ceilings and other surfaces. You can buy Izover Classic Plus plates at an affordable price.

Unlike the Classic Izover Sauna slabs, the material is based on fiberglass wool with an additional layer of foil. Products are produced with a thickness of 50 mm and 100 mm, with a width of 1200 mm and a length in two versions - 625 mm and 12500 mm.

From the name it is clear that the insulation is designed primarily for use in saunas, where consistently high temperatures are maintained and additional protection against abundant steam is needed.

The heat-insulating material is safe, durable, sold in packages that are convenient for transportation with a thickness of plates of 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm.

Izover Profi also has technical characteristics different from the Classic insulator, which is also produced in the form of rolls and plates. The insulation has a 3D effect, which allows you to insulate surfaces with a snug fit to the base and consoles. In terms of thermal protection, it is the Profi that is considered the most effective and has an indicator of 0.037 W.

The material is available in two thicknesses: Profi boards 50 mm and Izover Profi insulation 100 mm (in rare cases up to 150 mm).

For the insulation of ventilated facades, special heaters are suitable. These are models for warming the outer layer in the case of a two-layer thermal insulation device, guaranteeing minimal heat loss with high thermal protection.

Complete with insulation for the upper layer, Izover VentFacade Bottom is also used for the lower layer, also with excellent thermal performance. The thickness of the plates (50 mm or 100 mm) is determined on the basis of a thermal calculation.

For insulation of single-layer ventilated facades, Izover Facade Mono and VentFacade Optima for low-rise buildings are used.

Another type of plate with a thickness of 50 and 100 mm (in isolated cases 150 mm) is Isover KL34. The materials are tightly mounted on the frame without the use of additional fasteners. Plates, just like the Classic, are suitable for insulating both ventilated facades and multilayer brickwork, while it will equally effectively insulate horizontal and vertical planes.

Isover KL37 is a heater sold in tightly pressed packs. Just like the previous options, it does not need additional fasteners, it is suitable for installation between floors, roof and wall insulation with maximum adhesion to the surface.

A variation of the previous model - Isover KT37, produced in compressed rolls. Installation of insulation for thermal insulation does not require additional fasteners, the elements fit perfectly to the surface. Used for insulation of roofs, interfloor ceilings, attics and partitions.

Isover KT40 is a two-layer insulation in compressed rolls, suitable for thermal insulation of both vertical and horizontal surfaces.

Isover STYROFOAM 300A - insulation for thermal insulation, the installation of which is complicated by the use of fasteners. Produced in hard rough slabs, excellent adhesion to concrete. The composition includes extruded polystyrene foam, due to which insulated cells are formed that improve moisture resistance. Insulate material both horizontal and vertical surfaces inside and out.

Another variety of ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL material in the form of fiberglass thermal insulation mats. The material is developed using a special technology of vertical fiber formation, additionally covered with a layer of aluminum foil to improve vapor barrier and increase service life.

ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL mats are used to insulate air ducts of a supply and exhaust ventilation system, process equipment, fittings, flange connections of pipelines, etc.

The main advantages of ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL include a special arrangement of fibers, due to which the material during installation retains its original shape unchanged, adhering as closely as possible to the surface. In addition, the insulation increases the level of sound insulation in the room, suitable for thermal insulation of pipes inside buildings.

The advantage of ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL is also resistance to chemicals. If we compare KIM-AL with other heaters based on stone wool, then its superiority is obvious - the material is not susceptible to moisture and aggressive environments.

Using material for insulation (it doesn’t matter if Classic is Facade, Pro or soundproofing plates), you need to protect your hands and eyes with gloves and goggles.

Characteristics and types of insulation Izover

The main characteristics of thermal insulation Izover. Its varieties, areas of application. Advantages and disadvantages of Isover material.

You can easily get lost in the trade names of building materials, especially when you deal with them from time to time. In addition, all the names are very often similar. This also applies to Isover insulation, which was originally produced and developed in France, and came to us about 25 years ago. It was first used in the mid 1930s light hand Saint Gobain. As before, this is a material based on fiberglass and mineral fibers, but thanks to localized production, the price of the material has ceased to be European with a fairly good quality.

What is Izover

Izover insulation, the technical characteristics of the photo, the price of which will be shown below, can be supplied in a wide variety of shapes and formats. It depends on where it is used. Only one thing remains unchanged - it is an insulating material based on mineral fibers and fiberglass. The first quality of any insulation should be the minimum coefficient of thermal conductivity. The tables show the characteristics of several types of material and the maximum thermal conductivity of the universal Isover. It is about 0.036 W / m³ and may fluctuate depending on the density of the material.

The material itself is a fiber structure. The length of the fibers can be from 120 microns, and the thickness is not more than 4 microns. It is these indicators that guarantee the material high strength with minimal thermal conductivity and a sufficient amount of air held inside the material. The production technology is patented and not a single material can simply physically have the characteristics that Izover of any type declares.

Characteristics of Izover

Minimal heat loss is provided by the simple property of air placed in the closed space between the fibers of the material, which is what makes the material so warm. In addition, Izover can also be used as a sound insulator and the company declares it as absolutely safe for health. It can be used not only for external insulation of facades, but also for internal insulation of rooms in a residential building, including children's rooms.

Safety, weight and price

According to GOST, Izover is considered non-combustible when used in the form of clean slabs, mats and rolls. In combination with aluminum foil or film, it can be considered low-flammable, but this is enough from a safety point of view to calmly insulate with material internal walls residential buildings, not to mention facades. Izover in this sense has no restrictions on the use.

One of the distinguishing qualities of the material is its very light weight. This is important if you take into account the cost of equipping the battens, fastening materials and additional elements that are used during installation. Also, the low weight of the insulating structure reduces the load on floors, walls or roofs. The price of the material is also quite worthy. With a high level of localization of production, it was possible to achieve the price level of domestic materials, and this is about 130-180 rubles per square meter insulation. Packing an insulator can cost from a thousand to 1,500 rubles, depending on the brand.

Dimensions, density and types of insulation

The density of a material can play a decisive role when it is used in certain conditions. For example, the densest insulation has a density of 120 to 160 kg / m³ and is used for roofing, and the least dense with an indicator of 28-38 kg / m³ can be used for both walls and facades. Izover for the floor has a density of 150-165 kg / m³.

The size of the material and the form of release can be very different, depending on the scope of application. For example, for a foil moisture-resistant Izover for wet rooms, it can be produced in rolls with a thickness of 50 to 100 mm, and the length of the unfolded roll will be within 1.25 m. different size, while the material is perfectly cut and processed, and the size of the plate is selected based on the size and surface area, so as not to allow a large amount of waste.

Areas of application for insulation

Given the universal properties, low price and various forms of release, the use of the material can be very versatile. For example, the main areas of use of Izover are:

For baths and saunas, a foil isover is used.
Ceilings, interfloor ceilings are insulated with a less dense material.
Izover of increased density is used for floors and roofs.
It is used when installing plastic windows.
For insulation of balconies.
For insulation of basements and basements.
Interior partitions are insulated, taking into account the fact that the material has good sound insulation.
For facade insulation.

Izover insulation: specifications, photo, price

Izover insulation: technical characteristics, disadvantages and advantages

The most popular roll and tile insulation is isover. It bears the name of a company that patented the production of a material from sand, limestone and soda, while being able to retain heat. Thanks to these properties, ISOVER provides high thermal insulation as well as sound insulation. It can be used for insulation, both indoors and outdoors.

Technical characteristics of insulation ISOVER

Glass fibers are the basis of ISOVER. The length of one of the thousand fibers reaches 150 microns with a thickness of 5 microns. These parameters make the material very elastic and durable.

ISOVER can be used at any stage of building erection. Manufacturers promise thermal protection of the highest level.

ISOVER specifications are as follows:

Low thermal conductivity. It provides a high degree of thermal protection
Excellent sound reduction properties. Provides significant noise reduction
High environmental friendliness of the material. Can be used to warm any room
Durability. This material can last at least 5 decades
Fire resistance. It does not really burn, but at high temperatures it can melt
Lightness of weight. Thanks to this indicator, isover can even be used for insulation of stacked structures.

Density of airtight ISOVER at the level of 13 kg/m3. During installation, it is possible (due to the softness of the material) to reduce the density of adhesion to the wall.

Types of insulation ISOVER

The manufacturer does not produce universal material. Given the high manufacturability of the production process, Isover can be manufactured for:

Light thermal insulation. By production the TEL technology is used. Slabs and mats are produced. Can be used as wall insulation wooden house or brick, for roof insulation, should not be used for insulation of foundations and floors
General construction insulation. There are also several varieties:

Soft fiberglass slabs for frame structures,

Roll mats are used without fasteners,

Mats, one side of which has a foil base,

Slabs of medium hardness

The products are special. We are talking about ISOVER for pitched roofs. Such material has high hydrophobic characteristics, it does not burn and it has a high level of vapor permeability.

The ISOVER marking for civil engineering is as follows:

KL - plates
KT - mats
OL-E - mats of special rigidity
The numbers indicate the thermal conductivity class

ISOVER application

The scope of ISOVER is the most diverse. It can be used for insulation

roofs, attics, building facades, interiors, suspended ceilings, floors, plinths and foundations.

ISOVER KT40 is recommended for use in ceiling and floor insulation. This is a material consisting of two layers that can be easily separated. Installation of horizontal surfaces does not require additional fixing
ISOVER STYROFOAM 300A is a tile material that must be fixed when installed on vertical surfaces. Can also be used successfully on horizontal surfaces
ISOVER KL 34, ISOVER KL 37 - boards that are released in pressed rolls. The material is used as insulation for walls inside the apartment, for insulation of internal partitions, for thermal insulation of ceilings, attic spaces

When using ISOVER indoors, a vapor barrier will be required.

How to insulate walls and floors with Izover?

You need to work with this material in the same way as with any other insulation. The main thing to know is that high-quality insulation is a multilayer cake. And then there will be a positive result when the order of the layers of this pie is observed.

Wall insulation

In order to mount Izover on the wall, you need to make a crate. It can be wooden planks or metal. Then drywall will need to be attached to them.

The technique for performing work can be as follows:

Walls need to be primed
Attach heat reflective sheet. This should only be done for walls that border the street.
Make a vertical crate. It can be a full-fledged frame, but it can also be ordinary wooden planks. The step between the planks should be done according to the width of ISOVER
Lay sheets of insulation, gluing them to the wall
Attaching the moisture-repellent film
Now you need to fill the horizontal bars

Ceiling insulation

It is necessary to insulate the ceiling, practically, using the same technology as the walls. The only difficulty is that you have to mount over your head.

Disadvantages of ISOVER

Even modern materials cannot be absolutely perfect. But with regard to ISOVER, he can say that his two shortcomings can be leveled out.

ISOVER - it pricks and causes irritation. This can be avoided by wearing gloves.
ISOVER is afraid of moisture and under its influence it loses all its positive qualities. This means that the material cannot be used outside (except for those types that have additional protection in the form of foil layers)

ISOVER cost

Roll standard ISOVER, which is used for wall and ceiling insulation, has an area of 20 m2. The thicker the sheet, the better the technical characteristics of the isover insulation, the price is also higher, respectively.

So, ISOVER KT 40 has the fortieth thermal conductivity class, a sheet thickness of 10 cm, belongs to non-combustible materials and costs 750 rubles.

ISOVER sheet, which can be used for pitched roofs, has dimensions of 100 / 1170 / 610 millimeters. Packing area from 14 to 17 m2 depending on sheet thickness. The cost is about 800 rubles.
