The material has good performance characteristics and high quality. This mineral wool does not contain harmful impurities and is considered an environmentally friendly thermal insulation material that can be used in children's rooms and medical institutions.
Thermal insulation materials are widely used in both private and multi-storey buildings. The main requirement for any insulation is low heat conductivity. Only in this case will it be possible to ensure a healthy microclimate in residential premises.
If you compare standard insulation with brickwork, it will conduct 15-18 times less heat. It is not surprising that installing such material on the floor, walls and ceiling can significantly save on heating costs. And in summer period the insulation provides the effect of a thermos - a comfortable temperature remains inside the house or apartment, which reduces the load on operating air conditioners.
Most often used in construction work:
Polystyrene foam or expanded polystyrene is the most economical material in terms of price, which is quite popular among owners of private houses and apartments. Working with him is easy and simple. The only significant drawback is its rapid flammability in an open fire.
Glass wool is mainly used for insulation of non-residential attic space and various communications. It has a good water-repellent effect, but the spread of fungus and mold is possible.
Penoplex or EPPS (extruded polystyrene foam) is a type of polystyrene foam that has undergone special processing. It is durable - some samples can easily withstand loads of up to 40 tons and are used in the construction road surface. In construction it is used for insulation of foundations, interfloor ceilings, ceilings, walls and floors.
Stone or basalt wool refers to mineral insulation materials that are environmentally friendly. It is this kind of high-quality insulation that Knauf mainly produces. This is the most common thermal insulation material in low-rise construction. It does not burn, “breathes” and at the same time does not let heat out.
Insulation from this brand pleases with abundance positive characteristics:
The only disadvantages include, perhaps, high cost. Not every owner can afford German quality.
Combined varieties of mineral wool have glass fiber in their structure. This material is cheaper, but has all the disadvantages of glass wool. For example, it is dangerous to install it without protective clothing and gloves.
Scope of use thermal insulation materials from Knauf is quite wide:
For the work of professional builders, mineral wool from the Insulation line is used. This brand has sufficient elasticity and can be used for external insulation of industrial, residential and public facilities.

Without a doubt, the name of this company is known to anyone who has ever been seriously involved in construction or finishing. In Russian construction market There is a very wide range of materials from the Knauf company, and all of them are in constant high demand, since they are, one can safely say, a kind of standard of quality.
However, in most cases the Knauf brand is strongly associated with materials for finishing works– these are dry and ready-to-use building mixtures, soils, plasterboard systems with all the elements necessary for them, kits for “dry screeds” and other similar products. Meanwhile, the company also produces a very wide range of high-quality thermal insulation materials.
Knauf insulation, technical characteristics and types of which will be discussed in this publication, is one of the most optimal options for the construction of private houses, since such thermal insulation is distinguished by the naturalness of its components and an increased degree of safety for human health. And, of course, when choosing any building materials An important criterion to which primary attention is always paid is the reputation of the manufacturer. Well, in terms of high reputation and quality guarantees for its products, Knauf is certainly “ahead of the rest.”
The Knauf company traces its history back to 1932 - it was founded by the Knauf brothers in Germany and at first bore the very long name “Reinische Gipsindustri und Bergwerksunternemen”. Even from the name it is clear that the original direction of duration was associated with production plaster mixtures from plaster. As this private enterprise developed, its product range gradually expanded, and in 1949 a new plant for the production of construction materials was opened in Bavaria. gypsum mixtures. In 1958, another “technological breakthrough” followed - the first production of sheets of the now so well-known plasterboard opened.
Since the 70s of the last century, the assortment of the Knauf company has gone beyond just gypsum products - mixtures using cement and lime are widely represented, the construction chemicals it produces and ready-made structural parts are gaining popularity. Well, the next stages in development are the development and implementation of the production of high-quality thermal insulation from fiberglass, basalt fiber, and foamed polystyrene.
The Knauf company came to Russia with its investments in production development in 1993. This was followed by other countries of the post-Union territory - representative offices and production lines were opened in Kazakhstan, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
As a result, the company has grown from one small family-owned enterprise into the world's largest manufacturer of building materials. The transnational Knauf group of companies today includes more than 200 factories located in 37 countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the products of this brand are produced at enterprises in Chelyabinsk, St. Petersburg, Novomoskovsk, Krasnogorsk, Kungur and other cities.
The obvious conclusion is that the company values its reputation very much and tries to fully support the popularity of its products. Therefore, products with the Knauf brand have occupied one of the leading positions in the construction markets of the world for many decades, deserve every possible trust and never “stay on the shelves.”
It is also interesting that Knauf invests considerable funds in charity and social projects. Thus, the company invested in the reconstruction of the historical church of Tyutchev’s estate “Ovstug”, sponsored the Prize named after. V.A. Zhukovsky for the best translation of a literary or humanitarian work from German into Russian, actively promotes other projects in the field of culture, architecture, and social policy.
So, as mentioned above, one of the areas of modern production activity of the Knauf company is the production of various types of high-quality thermal insulation. Let's turn to this issue.
Knauf insulation materials can be divided according to several criteria. Therefore, in order to make a choice, you need to consider them in more detail.
The first criterion is the material of manufacture. So, the insulation of this nonsense can be made of polystyrene foam, or have a mineral fibrous structure.
Let's move on to a more detailed consideration of the characteristics of various types of insulation, to a more substantive division of them by area of application.
Knauf Therm rigid boards are produced using the same technology as other foam insulation made of pressed foam polystyrene. However, implementing the concept of maximum concern for consumer health and the preservation of the environment, Knauf technology developers have successfully replaced some toxic ingredients with completely safe components.
For example, the manufacturer abandoned chlorine-containing compounds, which are almost always included in the foam of other manufacturers, since these components significantly simplify the process of producing such insulation. In addition, these products can be considered safe, since they do not contain aldehyde and phenolic compounds, which emit toxic fumes that are extremely harmful to the health of those living in the house.
The general operational and technical characteristics of Knauf Therm polystyrene foam thermal insulators are as follows:
The slabs are sold in polyethylene packaging. protective film. Due to their low weight, they are easy to transport, carry, lift to floors, and install.
Before moving on to the technical aspects of Knauf Therm thermal insulation, it makes sense to consider its “pros” and “cons”. Such a review, by the way, is also capable of very “colorfully” characterizing the insulation from many important aspects, since not everyone understands the dry numbers of tabular parameters.
So, polystyrene foam insulation from Knauf is widely popular due to its many advantages. These include:
Despite all the numerous and very significant “advantages” of this material, it has no less significant “cons”. However, Knauf technologists, as far as possible, using innovative technologies, have reduced the negative aspects that are inherent in foam plastics from other manufacturers.
So, the disadvantages of polystyrene foam boards include the following qualities:
Thanks to modern materials and their processing technologies, the developers of Knauf Therm managed to make the insulation of this line self-extinguishing (according to the manufacturer, in the absence of contact with fire, the insulation instantly extinguishes on its own) However, even despite such innovations, at temperatures of the order of 300÷450 degrees, depending on its density, the material, when melted, is capable of becoming a fire spreader itself. At the same time, polystyrene foam, unfortunately, when burned also releases extremely dangerous gaseous products that can cause irreparable damage to human health.
The Knauf Therm line is divided into several groups of insulation materials, which are designed for thermal insulation of various structural elements of a house.
— “Roof” is used for insulating flat roofs;
— “Roof NL” for pitched structures;
— “Roof Light” for insulation ceilings from inside the building.
Such slabs are manufactured in widths from 200 to 1200 mm, lengths from 600 to 3000 mm, thicknesses from 20 to 1000 mm (at the customer’s request) in increments of 10 mm. The material has a compressive strength of 100 kPa, a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.039 W/m×°K, and a density of 17.0 kg/m³.
If the insulation is installed in a room with little traffic or other dynamic load, then slabs can be used in this capacity "Knauf Therm Concrete", which is designed for a load of 1.0 kgf/cm². In this case, you will be able to save money, since the price of this material is slightly lower than the previous option.
This heat insulator has its own technical performance characteristics, which include the following indicators:
— tensile strength – 140 kPa;
— vapor permeability – 0.032 mg/(m×h×Pa);
— thermal conductivity coefficient – 0.038 W/(m×°K);
— density – 140 (kg/m³).
The slabs are manufactured in a linear size of 1200×600×47 mm, in packaging ( cardboard box) there are 10 products that are designed to cover 7.20 m², the volume of material is 0.338 m³.
"Knauf Therm Compack" have the following characteristics:
— tensile strength – 0.07 MPa;
— vapor permeability — 0.032 mg/(m×h×Pa);
— thermal conductivity coefficient — 0.032 W/(m×°K);
The slabs are produced in linear dimensions of 1000×600×50 mm.
This type of thermal insulation has the highest technical and operational characteristics of all polystyrene foam boards from this manufacturer. The material is produced using special technologies developed by the company’s specialists, so they are not available to other manufacturers. Thanks to these developments, the slabs are able to withstand loads of 1.5 kgf/cm², so they are suitable for insulating any areas of the structure, including garage floors, as well as rooms with high intensity dynamic loads.
In the production process of such plates, cutting of blanks is not used, that is, the products are immediately pressed into the desired configuration. This means that there are practically no damaged granules in polystyrene foam. Besides. The panels are equipped with a stepped edge, which ensures seamless installation of thermal insulation, and the slabs themselves have marking lines, which is also an excellent aid in work.
Insulation “Knauf Therm Perimeter 5 in 1” usually has an additional letter designation, which specifies the recommended area of application:
— D- this product option is excellent for load-bearing structures, such as rafter systems, main walls and foundations buried 6000 mm into the ground.
— C- slabs used for seamless external structures for decorative plaster. The surface of the products has good adhesion to construction mixtures, made on different bases, so finishing them will be quite simple.
— F- material for insulation of walls, floors, foundations and basements.
When choosing thermal insulation material for different applications, almost all developers purposefully look for an option that will combine the maximum amount positive qualities. The insulation should ideally be vapor-permeable, that is, “breathable”, made from environmentally friendly components, that is, not emit fumes harmful to humans, and most importantly, have minimal thermal conductivity. All these qualities are possessed by the fibrous insulation materials of the Knauf company, the range of which is quite wide and designed for use in different conditions operation of building structures.
If we consider each of the advantages separately, they will be characterized as follows:
With so many advantages, mineral insulation « Knauf » still have some disadvantages, which you also need to be aware of when selecting the materials necessary for construction:
Insulation materials made from fibers obtained from natural raw materials (such as sand, basalt and natural resins) processed according to modern technology"Knauf Ecose" are sold in rolls and mats. The material does not contain harmful substances, rodents and insects do not grow in it, and in addition, it is quite resistant to external influences even if installation errors were made.
This type of product is divided into two main lines:
This line of thermal insulators is made from both fiberglass obtained from molten sand and glass waste, and from basalt fibers.
To understand how these lines differ and what characteristics they have specific types insulation, it is worth considering each of them in more detail.
“TeploKnauf” is mineral wool produced using innovative technology and having so-called “3D elasticity”. Thanks to this quality, the material has increased elasticity, that is, it easily contracts and expands, returning to its original shape and thereby ensuring the tightest possible fit to insulated surfaces and to the elements of the frame sheathing, preventing the formation of cold bridges.
The materials of this line are perfectly adapted for use in residential construction; they are safe for home residents, as they are made without the use of acrylic and phenol-formaldehyde resins. Any of the mineral wools in this series is treated with water-repellent impregnations “Aquastatik”, and therefore has good moisture resistance, almost bordering on hydrophobicity.
In turn, “TeploKnauf” are divided into three groups, which have their own characteristics and purpose, which, in principle, is reflected in their name:
| "TeploKnauf House" | "TeploKnauf House +" | |

This group of insulation materials has improved characteristics and is designed for a longer service life. This material is produced only from basalt fibers, the release form is in the form of rolls or slabs. In addition, some types also have a foil coating.
The general characteristics of Knauf Insulation basalt heat insulators look something like this:
The insulation goes on sale in packages in a compressed state, and when unpacked it expands, taking on its original volume. The elasticity of the material greatly simplifies its installation in the frame of the insulated area of the building.
The Knauf Insulation line of heat insulators, like all other materials from this manufacturer, is divided by area of application. The illustration below shows the recommended types of insulation of this family when performing thermal insulation work in an ordinary country house.
If someone does not understand the icons indicated in the diagram, then the table below gives their explanation:
| Pitched roof | Interfloor ceilings | Attic floor |
|---|---|---|

In addition, the products are used for insulation of agro-industrial complexes, in the construction of healthcare facilities, industrial and public buildings. Facade insulation mats are soft to the touch, elastic, but do not deform and practically do not crumble. If the thermal insulation installation technology is followed correctly, it is distinguished by a very impressive durability, measured over many decades.

The Knauf Thermo Roll 040 insulation has another remarkable quality. During its production, ready-made thermal insulation mats are compressed: in a regular single package - twice, and in a special multi-pack - even eight times! This gives enormous advantages when organizing warehousing, loading and unloading operations, and transporting material. After opening the package, insulation mats quickly take on the volume specified by them. Plus, this “desire” for expansion ensures the tightest fit of thermal insulation to the structural elements of the roof or ceilings.
This material is most often used for sound insulation in frame systems partitions in which they are used for cladding plasterboard sheets"Knauf".

Availability of this large quantity types of thermal insulation “Knauf” can make it difficult to choose the one necessary for a particular site (building structural element) that requires insulation - but here you can rely on the recommendations received in the article. But the amount of material will depend on the area of the insulated structure and the required thickness of thermal insulation.
To get answers to such questions, it is recommended to contact specialists who will determine on site all the necessary thermal insulation parameters. But very often such calculations can be carried out independently, with a sufficient degree of accuracy.
We will not tell you how to find the area of an insulated structure in this article - there is a separate publication for this.
Calculate area? - no problem!
It happens that the intricate configuration of a room, wall, roof slope or other building structure poses a dead end when determining the area. If such a situation occurs, please refer to the publication on our portal, specifically dedicated to it - it discusses various options, convenient online calculation calculators are provided.
This means that the main problem is how to determine the required thickness of insulation. But here a certain thermal engineering calculation is required. We will not give the formulas - they are all included in the program, implemented in an online calculator, which will simplify such calculations as much as possible.
The meaning of the calculation lies in the fact that properly insulated building construction must have a total heat transfer resistance no lower than that established by SNiP for a specific region (in accordance with its climatic characteristics). This value includes the thermal resistance of the structure itself plus the resistance of the insulation. Thus, if the design parameters are known (its structure, the thickness of the layers and the material of their manufacture), then it is easy to calculate what thickness of insulation is needed to make up for the “deficit” thermal resistance, missing to the normalized value.
When building a house, it is important to use quality, time-tested materials.
The manufacturer’s reputation must be impeccable; only in this case can you be sure of the durability of the object being built.
Speaking about insulation materials, one cannot fail to mention the leading supplier of building materials in the country - the German company Knauf.
This brand owes its success in the market to the impeccable quality of all its products, the range of which is quite wide.
Selection of construction and finishing materials often becomes a serious problem. The consumer is not always aware of the subtleties of production; he has to be guided by the appearance of the insulation, reviews on the Internet and an attractive price.
However, the quality of the insulation is indicated by completely different characteristics:
It is important to know: the final price of the product is slightly higher than that of similar products, however, the advantages of Knauf insulation allow you to save impressive amounts of money spent on additional insulation and repairs of the building during operation.
Any insulation has a number of features that should be taken into account. During installation, it is mandatory to use protective equipment against fine particles glass wool - gloves, goggles and respirator.
In addition, layers of insulation are covered with protective materials. Waterproofing is necessary for any type of insulation. To protect the material from moisture, Knauf uses unique technology aquastatic, which prevents condensation from entering the stove.
Depending on the type and size of the building being constructed, different kinds insulation. The Knauf company produces three large lines of insulation - Teploknauf, Insulation (Insulation) and Knauf Therm.
Let's look at the subtypes of these lines:
There are three types of such insulation:
The insulation insulation group includes the following product categories:
Note: The Knauf company produces insulation based not only on glass wool, but also using polystyrene. This mineral wool material is presented in a separate category and is called Knauf Therm.
Polystyrene has the following technical characteristics:
The best option There will be an expert consultation in a specialized store.
Regular promotions and sales provide a chance to buy insulation at an attractive price .
