“Isover” is an insulation material whose technical characteristics allow us to judge it as one of the most effective materials today. It has a very wide scope of application. It is made from fiberglass and comes in the form of easy-to-install slabs and mats. It is used both for insulating 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 cold.
So, what is Isover insulation? The characteristics of any product depend primarily on how accurately the required technologies are followed during its production process. Isover insulation is manufactured as follows:
The advantages of Izover insulation (the characteristics of which will be discussed below) include primarily:
Of course, like any other building material, Isover slabs also have certain disadvantages. These include:
All fibrous materials, including Isover (whose characteristics are otherwise very good), absorb water well, which is why they lose a significant part of their heat-preserving qualities.
Foundations are usually insulated with expanded polystyrene. When using Izover for this purpose, it is necessary to additionally provide very high-quality waterproofing.
Of course, before choosing this material for insulating a house, you should find out what specific properties it has. There are several types of Isover insulator. In terms of characteristics, they all differ slightly. Materials of this brand are produced with different density and thermal conductivity.
Isover Classic insulation, for example, has the following characteristics:
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, allow us to judge it as a truly effective insulation material, in slabs and mats that are easy to install.
The frame for “Izover” can be assembled from both wooden planks and metal profile. Distance between separate elements the sheathing 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 pie of walls or roofing, in this case a certain order of installation of materials is observed. The vapor barrier is mounted on the side interior spaces. Due to temperature differences, the humidity in rooms and attics is usually higher than outside. Therefore, condensation forms on the walls and ceiling. Using a vapor barrier prevents it from getting on the insulation. Mounted outside. It protects Izover from getting wet during rain or melting snow.
Additional fasteners when installing slabs, as already mentioned, are not used. They are only necessary when installing the material on the ceiling. In order to completely prevent their loss, in this case special dowels called “fungi” are used.
Since the material is capable, albeit in small quantities, of releasing substances harmful to human health, when installing it from inside the premises, you should carefully monitor the tightness of all finishing seams.
“Isover” - insulation, the technical characteristics of which we discussed above - is classified into several popular types. In private housing construction, as already mentioned, the “Classic” material, marked with the letter “K,” is most often used. It, in turn, is divided into:
The type “Isover Classic Plus” is also very popular. Its characteristics are exactly the same as those of the regular “Classic”. These two varieties differ only in thickness. “Classic”, as can be seen 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.).
Thus, the Izover insulation, the technical characteristics of which were discussed in detail in this article, is a very warm and high-quality material. You can protect your home from the cold using it as effectively as possible. This, and also not too much high cost, and explains its extraordinary popularity among both private owners and small and large developers.
Isover is a famous trademark, which specializes in the production building materials. This is the only brand in Russia that produces thermal insulation based on basalt and fiberglass. The range of products is quite wide, which opens up great opportunities in terms of insulation of both private and industrial buildings.
The presented material has many advantages and disadvantages mineral wool. And this is not surprising, since their properties are quite similar. It is produced in the form of slabs, which can be either rigid or semi-rigid. There is also the opportunity to buy Izover in the form of rolls and mats. They are used in the arrangement of the roof and facades of the house, ceilings, walls and floors.
Izover is based on glass fibers, the length of which reaches 100-150 microns and the thickness of 4-5 microns. It is these parameters that allow the Izover heat insulator to obtain high levels of elasticity and resistance to loads. Competition may come from technical ones.

Main competitors in the market mineral insulation- these are Ursa, Izovol, Rockwool, Parok, Knauf. Isover mineral wool has a wide range of applications in general construction work. For industrial work Izover company produces insulation under the Isotek brand.
Isover is used for the following types works:
Isover, like other insulation, has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages of Izover include: 
The disadvantages of Izover include:
It is important to know: During installation, it is necessary to use personal protective equipment - dust from mineral wool fibers is very caustic and can cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
Isover's lines of thermal insulating products include several dozen items and are designed to solve specific problems. They all differ in delivery form, thickness, density and size.

The main technical differences of basalt wool:
Expert advice: basalt insulation is recommended for use in places with higher loads, because it has higher density.
In fact, the line of this mineral wool is not much different from fiberglass-based materials: 
It is impossible to say clearly which insulation is better, stone or glass wool. 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 building materials market. With a diverse product line, high quality And affordable price he gets best reviews from consumers. According to many builders, it has best ratio price-quality among competitors.
Watch the video explaining the features and advantages of Izover insulation:
Thermal insulation is an essential component of any construction. Currently, materials from this category are presented on the market in a very diverse assortment, so it can be difficult for the buyer to make the right choice.
Among the variety presented, ISOVER brand insulation is consistently popular. This is a trademark of the world-famous concern “Saint-Gobain”, which supplies its products to the domestic market more than 20 years. During this time, a certain opinion has already formed about the Isover insulation. Therefore, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the features and characteristics of this material.
What is ISOVER? This is mineral wool-based insulation, which is available in rolls, slabs and soft mats. However, regardless of the shape, the products are manufactured using the same technology. The process looks like this:
The raw material used is a mixture of quartz sand, limestone, soda ash, and microscopic glass particles.
The components are mixed and heated to temperature 1 300 degrees. As a result of thermal exposure, solid components melt, turning into a viscous homogeneous mass.
The resulting composition is loaded into a special installation (centrifuge), the bowl of which rotates at enormous speed. The walls of the working container have holes through which the molten substance is squeezed out, forming thin threads.
Then the resulting glass fiber is mixed with adhesive based on polymer materials.
The mixture is repeatedly subjected to heat treatment, simultaneously leveling the layers with steel shafts.
On final stage In production, the insulation is cut into strips, following the specified dimensions.
The ISOVER insulation line includes several items. Each type of produced material has its own characteristics, which determines the scope of application. In particular, the following categories of insulation can be found on the market:
Basic characteristics can be found out from the markings indicated on the packaging. It looks like this:
OL-E. The only material in the series that is used for outdoor use. The material has high density and non-porous structure.
KL. Soft slabs designed for insulation of internal partitions and ventilated facades.
AL. Insulation with this marking has a layer of aluminum foil on the surface that serves as a vapor barrier.
KT. This roll insulation, used for insulating large areas.
Knowing these features, you can easily select insulation to solve specific construction problems.
“Isover” is considered a universal insulation material, therefore it is suitable for the following work:
Heat and sound insulation of external wall structures.
Arrangement of ventilated facades.
Soundproofing interior walls new partitions.
Industrial ventilation systems, pipelines.
Like any building material, ISOVER has its advantages and disadvantages. By the way, the advantages of insulation are noticeably greater, which largely determines its steadily growing popularity.
TO strengths relate:
Wide range of products.
Easy to store and transport.
Long service life – up to 50 years.
Resistance to temperature changes.
Reliable heat and sound insulation.
Obvious shortcomings are considered:
Lack of environmental safety.
Dependence external factors: Excellent moisture absorption.
Some builders consider the soft structure of the insulation to be a disadvantage, which somewhat limits its scope of application.
At optimal ratio price/quality, thermal insulation has the following technical characteristics:
High thermal conductivity: 0.033-0.037 W/mK.
Flammability class NG: does not ignite and does not support combustion.
Wide operating temperature range: withstands temperatures up to 6,000 degrees.
Density: about 15 kg/m2.
Moisture absorption: 0.08 kg/m per day.
It should be clarified that these are average indicators. Insulation is available in a wide range, so density and thermal conductivity may vary.
16 pcs/pack
11.42 m 2 /0.571 m 3
These brands of insulation are direct competitors in construction market, so consumers are interested in which material to choose. It is immediately necessary to clarify that both insulation materials have similar characteristics, however, they are produced using different technologies.
ISOVER is a mineral wool made from glass fiber, produced by a French company. ROCKWOOL is basalt wool produced in Poland. Considering that the second insulation is made on the basis of basalt rocks, the production technology completely eliminates the presence of glass. Therefore, Polish products are considered more environmentally friendly.
If we talk about which insulation is better, there is no clear answer: it all depends on the area of application. In particular, “Izover” is better suited for insulating the floors of the first floors, non-residential roofs, balconies and loggias.
This is due to the fact that non-compliance with installation technology can lead to microscopic particles of glass floating in the air of residential premises, which can have a detrimental effect on health. “Rockwool” does not suffer from such a “disease”, therefore it is optimally suited for interfloor and internal wall partitions.
Do not forget that ISOVER is much cheaper, which for many is a decisive factor when choosing insulation.
When working with the material, personal protective equipment should not be neglected. Gloves and respirator are prerequisite during installation.
Directly laying the insulation is not difficult. The wall is cleaned of dirt and covered with a waterproofing film. Then a sheathing of wooden blocks or aluminum profile. Insulation fills the space between the bars, on top there is a layer of vapor barrier and finishing.
As mentioned above, ISOVER is a trademark of the Saint-Gobain group of industrial companies. The company has 350 year history, the central office is in Paris. The company has representative offices in 67 countries. In addition to ISOVER, Saint-Gobain produces insulation products of the ISOROC and ISITEC brands.
On the territory of Russia, enterprises are located in Yegoryevsk and Chelyabinsk near Moscow. Products are manufactured according to original technology, subject to mandatory international certification, complies with GOST standards. It should be noted that since 2013, the enterprises launched a production line for the production of basalt wool under the brand of the same name.
Izover": features and technical characteristics of insulation
Informational portal about suburban construction. Only current information about real estate, installation diagrams, descriptions of materials, comparative analysis technology, DIY crafts. Useful for every owner own home or cottage.
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 Izover insulation, which was originally produced and developed in France, and came to us about 25 years ago. It was first used in the mid-30s of the last century with light hand Saint Gobain company. As before, this is a material based on glass fiber and mineral fibers, but thanks to localized production, the price of the material is no longer European and the quality is quite good.
Izover insulation technical characteristics photo the price of which will be shown below can be supplied in a wide variety of forms and formats. It depends on where it is used. Only one thing remains unchanged - this is an insulation material based on mineral fibers and fiberglass. The first quality of any insulation should be a minimum thermal conductivity coefficient. The tables indicate the characteristics of several types of material and the maximum thermal conductivity coefficient of the universal Isover. It is about 0.036 W/m³ and can vary 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 no more than 4 microns. It is these indicators that guarantee the material high strength with minimal thermal conductivity and a sufficient volume of air retained inside the material. The production technology is patented and no other material simply physically can have the characteristics that Izover of any type declares.
Minimal heat loss is ensured by the simple property of air placed in a 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 to be 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 also has great importance, since the accumulation of moisture in the structure of the material leads to a loss of thermal properties. However, when insulating foundations, plinths and facades with Izover, experts recommend leaving at least 2 cm for sufficient ventilation. To make it water-repellent, the material is impregnated with water-repellent agents, 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.
According to GOST, Izover is considered non-flammable 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 easily insulate the internal walls of residential buildings with the material, not to mention facades. Isover in this sense has no restrictions on its use.
One of the distinctive qualities of the material is its very light weight. This is important when you consider the costs of lathing equipment, fastening materials and on additional elements which are used during installation. Also, the low weight of the insulating structure reduces the load on the floors, walls or roof. The price of the material is also quite reasonable. At high level localization of production, we managed to achieve the price level of domestic materials, which is about 130-180 rubles per square meter insulation. Packaging an insulator can cost from a thousand to 1,500 rubles, depending on the brand.
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. Isover for flooring has a density of 150-165 kg/m³.
The dimensions of the material and the form of release can be very different, depending on the scope of application. For example, for 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 loose roll will be within 1.25 m. Universal insulation can have a thickness of up to 100 mm and is produced in the form of slabs of the same different sizes, while the material is perfectly cut and processed, and the size of the slab is selected based on the size and surface area in order to avoid a large amount of waste.
Considering 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:
Reliable and durable material(the manufacturer declares a 50-year warranty) 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 with your choice and warm homes!
Thermal insulation isover technical characteristics
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 names are very often
The Isover brand, known in the world since 1937, has been selling its products in Russia and the CIS for several decades. Thermal insulation Izover consists of mats, slabs and rolls of stone wool and glass wool. Today we will look at their features.
The Isover brand is owned by the French company Saint-Gobain, headquartered in Paris. The company was founded back in 1665 by order of the French king Louis XIV. By the way, it is noteworthy that at that time the company was engaged in the production of mirrors and glass. And the brand name “Isover” uses two words “insulation” and “glass”. Today in Russia the brand has two factories where insulation materials are produced. One makes materials from stone fiber, the other from fiberglass. Isover thermal insulation in Russia was previously sold under the name “Uteplyaev”.
In its line, the manufacturer has several dozen types of materials intended for insulation and sound insulation:
· And other objects.
The areas of application of these materials are shown schematically below.
It is perhaps difficult to pay attention to each direction in the line within the framework of one article, so we will summarize approximate General characteristics these materials.
Main characteristics of Izover insulation:
These are only average indicators; you should always go to the manufacturer’s official website for the most accurate indicators. Below in the table we show, as an example, more exact specifications lightweight insulation.
For information, we also provide a table of characteristics of Isover mats Classic
Izover mineral wool (basalt wool) is produced at a plant in Chelyabinsk, and is produced only in the form of a slab with different rigidity indicators.
Mineral wool Isover includes the following products in the line:
A little later we will describe the features of each representative of this line. Of course, Izover mineral wool is more expensive than fiberglass materials.
The size of the slab is, as always, the same: 1200 by 600 mm. The thickness varies and is shown in the size chart below.
Cheaper and more often used Izover glass wool is represented in the product line:
· Izover Classic (classic Izover),
· Quiet and heat roof,
· Uteplyaev (Universal, only for Siberia).
Let's pay attention to three popular types of materials:
Description of materials. Both first materials are soft roll mats made of fiberglass. However, the numbers in the index classify Isover KT 37 to the corresponding thermal insulation class 37, and Isover KT 40 provides Twin insulation - two mats are laid on top of each other. The total thickness is 50 and 75 mm.
The thermal conductivity of Izover KT 37 and 40 is corresponding - 0.037 and 0.040 0.040 W/m K. The width of the rolls in both cases is the same 1220 mm. For both, you need to build a sheathing and use materials for internal insulation walls and other interior work. Density about 15 kg per cubic meter. Sometimes you can also find the marking Isover KT Special (KT Special) - this is insulation in rolls of the same series. Below are the details in more detail.
Insulation Izover 37 and 40 technical characteristics and dimensions:
Isover KL 37 material in the form of mats (soft Isover boards have a density of 16 kg/m3). This series is intended for insulation:
In those places where there will be no load on the insulation (that is, in the frame and along the joists).
Below in the table you can see the characteristics of Isover kl 37
Model KL 34 has lower thermal conductivity than the 37th.
There are separate types of foil material for saunas. One side of the mat is covered with foil, which prevents it from getting wet.
The density and dimensions of Izover correspond to GOST standards. The declared parameters of Izover insulation and technical characteristics correspond to the market as a whole.
The cost of insulation, especially during a crisis - especially important topic. In this article we will not be able to provide prices for all options, but we will still show the main ones.
For example, the “Sauna” model in a roll 6250 long, 1200 wide and 100 mm thick will cost approximately 1400 rubles.
Isover KL 37, 10 slabs per package, 100 mm thick slabs will also cost about 1,400 rubles.
A pitched roof, 20 slabs, each 100 mm thick, will cost 1,000 rubles.
Here is a screenshot of the cost from a popular online store.
What do those who have already used Isover insulation say? Let's read their opinions:
We insulated the walls of the house stone wool Rockwool and worked without glasses or gloves. It remains to insulate one wall and there weren’t enough slabs. We decided to save money; the price for 8 slabs of 50 mm thickness was 350 rubles. Save 20 rubles on each stove when purchasing Izover. While my husband was at work, I set about installing the insulation myself. I didn’t wear any protective equipment, as before, it was tough. I cough, sneeze, itch. Covered it with film and screwed the drywall down. Even after two days the insulation still stinks. I also covered everything on top with expensive photo wallpaper... it’s a pity to take it off. But there is no choice left, when you sleep, you feel like you are breathing dust. The small child did not sleep for three nights. We took out this insulation and ordered a new one. It’s a pity, of course, for the money, I was once again convinced that it’s better to be more expensive, but just once. Hope it helps someone. Insulating the walls with Izover inside seems to me not an option at all.
It is worth remembering that Izover highlights harmful substances- phenol (stinks). The higher
room temperature, the stronger the smell and more substances stands out. It is recommended to cover the cotton wool with film on top and bottom. As my repair experience has shown, it is imperative to place it under the cotton wool, from the ceiling side. It is advisable to secure it well with a stapler. Don't forget to tape the joints - this will reduce the smell in the room. (Even if you don’t feel it yourself, the evaporation is still there).
I work as an engineer and I have to select materials that are both inexpensive and effective. I decided to use Izover for the pipeline.
For as long as I can remember, pipes have always been insulated with green wool. It is very prickly and has almost no effect - people’s pipes are still cold. We decided to do something about it. I found Isover and was attracted by the low price. They wrapped the pipe, plastered it over the mesh and left it for testing over the winter. The pipes lie on the surface, so you should be able to see how the insulation works.
So, it snowed, it was +115 inside the pipe, if there had also been a plus on the plaster, a snow crust would have formed, but no, everything is fine, the pipe on top is cold.
I calculated the costs and it turned out that taking into account all the rules, the price would be 2 times lower compared to other materials.
After that, the entire enterprise switched to Izover thermal insulation, and now we have insulated not only pipes, but also walls, roofs, facades, especially ventilated ones.
The material performed well and did not deteriorate over time. A vapor barrier is required when installing on facades and roofs. It cuts quite well with a regular knife.
This article presented the characteristics of Izover. We also included reviews from real consumers for an objective assessment. When carrying out thermal insulation work, for example, wall insulation, you will have something to take into account in relation to this brand of thermal insulation.
What you need to know about Izover insulation
Types of insulation Izover. Density, thermal conductivity and others important features. Approximate cost and comparison. Isover KT 37 and KT 40.
Izover is a well-known brand that specializes in the production of building materials. This is the only brand in Russia that produces thermal insulation based on basalt and fiberglass. The range of products is quite wide, which opens up great opportunities in terms of insulation of both private and industrial buildings.
The presented material has many advantages and disadvantages of mineral wool. And this is not surprising, since their properties are quite similar. It is produced in the form of slabs, which can be either rigid or semi-rigid. There is also the opportunity to buy Izover in the form of rolls and mats. They are used in the arrangement of the roof and facades of the house, ceilings, walls and floors.
Izover is based on glass fibers, the length of which reaches 100-150 microns and the thickness of 4-5 microns. It is these parameters that allow the Izover heat insulator to obtain high levels of elasticity and resistance to loads.

Has a large number of advantages. Thanks to them, today it occupies a leading position among all other heat insulators. When choosing, pay attention to the following technical characteristics of Izover:
If we talk about the size of the Izover material, it depends on the form of release. The thickness of the mat rolls can be 5.10 cm - single-layer option. And for a two-layer type, the thickness of one layer is 5 cm. For a roll type, the standard width is 120 cm and the length is 7-14 cm. But the covered area can vary between 16-20 m2.
Which insulation for the roof to choose and what its name is, is described in this article.
For those who want to learn about how to insulate the interfloor ceiling in a private house, you should follow the link.
The heat insulator manufacturer Izover has a very wide range of products, each of which has its own functional purposes. All company products are divided into 2 types: for industrial and household use.
This heat insulator is presented in the form of plates, and its thickness reaches 5 or 10 cm. It is used for frame installation; it does not require fastening with dowels.

Thanks to it, the insulation does not absorb moisture at all, even if it is completely immersed in water. This quality of the material allows it to be used in difficult climatic conditions. The cost is 1100 rubles.
This material is produced in the form of rolls. Used for thermal insulation of the internal parts of a house built from concrete, wood, or aerated concrete. Although today they have begun to use it for insulating internal walls, attics and interfloor ceilings.
The photo shows Izover KT37 insulation
KT37 - This is a soft insulation, since its density is 15 kg/m3. Thanks to this, the heat insulator can be used on surfaces that are subject to severe mechanical stress. The packaged material in rolls is compressed 2 times, which simplifies the transportation process. It has low thermal conductivity, so to obtain reliable insulation it is enough to install the material in one layer.
The rolls are 50 or 100 mm thick, 630 cm long and 60 cm wide. roll material you can insulate a large part of the surface much faster than using tile insulation. Concerning fire safety, then KT37 is a completely non-flammable heat insulator. The cost of the material is 850 rubles.
This material consists of two layers and is produced in the form of a roll. Serve for thermal insulation of frame building walls and internal brick walls. The roll has a thickness of 100 mm, thanks to which the two-layer coating can be divided into two parts, each of which will have a thickness of 50 mm. The length of the product is 700 cm, the width is 61 cm, and the packaging area is 17.08 m2.

Izofer is a well-known brand for the production of high-quality thermal insulation materials. He has a variety of products in his assortment, each of which has its own technical characteristics and scope of application. But they are all united by such qualities as durability and low thermal conductivity.
Izover insulation and its technical characteristics
Isover insulation: technical characteristics. Isover insulation dimensions. Popular brands of insulation and their cost.
Modern insulation Izover is produced with a base of basalt or glass fibers. The material is obtained by processing quartz sand, mineral rocks 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, holding them together special kind resin
Isover insulation is produced in two versions: slabs and rolls using our own technologies patented in 1981 and 1957.
Isover brand thermal insulation materials made from mineral wool inspire confidence and are in stable demand. Moreover, both slabs and rolls are rightfully considered one of the best thermal insulation on the market.
The main characteristics of insulation include:
As a heat insulator, Izover insulation has proven itself with the best side precisely because of 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 its entire life; the fibers do an excellent job of accumulating and retaining air, preventing heat loss.
The material has excellent sound insulation properties. Fiberglass insulation with air gap absorb noise, guaranteeing an optimal level of silence, especially if you use specially adapted types of insulation to create a sound insulation layer.
The flammability index also matters. Thermal insulation materials with technical characteristics indicating a density of up to 30 kilograms per cubic meter are classified as non-flammable. The materials are successfully used in premises 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 slightly flammable.
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 fire safety requirements for 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 analogs for thermal insulation, Izover products based on stone wool simply and effectively cope with the problem of moisture penetration inside the thermal insulation layer.
The insulation releases the absorbed moisture as quickly as it receives it, the main thing is to leave a small gap (2-3 cm) between it and the wall to maintain ventilation.
Neglecting it simple rule will lead to disruption of the material’s ability to remove moisture, which over time will negatively affect the ability to retain heat. Izover insulations have optimal performance vapor permeability - from 0.50 to 0.55 mg/mchPa.
Analysis of the technical characteristics of the material implies mention of such important parameter, as the service life. The material not only does not allow heat to pass through, but is also able to serve properly for several decades. The manufacturer claims a service life for thermal insulation boards and rolls of 50 years with full preservation of functionality.
A special feature of the material is the water repellents included in the composition, which can repel moisture, preventing the proliferation of insects, fungi and mold formation, 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 a special role. Izover materials do not pose any risk to life and health, as they are made from natural raw materials.
Lightweight insulation is not just one of the characteristics, it is a clear and undeniable advantage. If we compare the insulator with analogues, its weight is an order of magnitude less, which in turn allows you to expand the scope of application by combining the insulation with surfaces made from less durable materials.
The release form can be considered an excellent bonus from a manufacturer who places an emphasis on improving the technical characteristics of the finished product. Insulation materials are available in several versions - rolls, slabs, and less often - in mats (for example, ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL).
The average thickness of 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 in 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.
To the technical characteristics regarding flammability thermal insulation material The following parameters should be included:
The flammability of thermal insulation boards and rolls based on mineral wool varies within 30 kg/m3, if we're talking about about the group of non-combustible materials. Semi-rigid and rigid slabs coated with film and foil from the group of slightly flammable materials are placed in a separate category.
The description of the main technical characteristics of the material confirms the fact that as an insulation material it is practically unrivaled. Plates and rolls are used for internal and external insulation, practicing the installation of a thermal insulation layer of rooms and structures different types and appointments. The heat insulator is presented in a fairly wide range in order to select the option that best meets the requirements.
Thermal insulation for pitched roofs is the most suitable option for insulation:
This type of material is characterized by improved moisture resistance, which allows it to be used for insulating roofs operating in conditions of high humidity.
Another option for insulation based on stone wool is to improve the quality of sound protection. The material is suitable for insulating partitions, insulating structures under siding, insulating floors along joists and walls inside a house.
Isover for sound insulation has excellent sound insulation properties and is indispensable for improving properties in partitions and other structures.
Another type of insulation based on stone wool is Izover Classic Plus. The material is suitable for insulating almost all types of surfaces and has a thermal insulation coefficient of 0.041 W.
Sold in the form of lightweight slabs with two thicknesses: 50 mm and 100 mm, in packs of 7 and 14 pieces. Classic slabs are easy to use and suitable for installation in rooms with limited space. The material does not require the use of special fasteners and is used for insulating partitions, suspended ceilings and other surfaces. You can buy Izover Classic Plus slabs at an affordable price.
Unlike the Classic Izover Sauna slabs, the material is based on glass fiber wool with an additional layer of foil. The products are produced in thicknesses of 50 mm and 100 mm, with a width of 1200 mm and lengths 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 they remain stable high temperatures and necessary additional protection from copious steam release.
The thermal insulation material is safe, durable, sold in packages convenient for transportation with slab thicknesses of 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm.
Izover Profi, which is also produced in the form of rolls and slabs, also has technical characteristics different from the Classic insulator. The insulation has a 3D effect, which allows you to insulate surfaces with a tight fit to the base and consoles. In terms of the level of thermal protection, it is the Pro that is considered the most effective and has an indicator of 0.037 W.
The material is available in two thicknesses: Profi slabs 50 mm and Izover Profi insulation 100 mm (in rare cases up to 150 mm).
Special insulation materials are suitable for insulating ventilated facades. These are models for insulating the outer layer in the case of two-layer thermal insulation, guaranteeing minimal heat loss with high thermal protection performance.
Complete with insulation for the top layer, Izover VentFacade Bottom is also used for the bottom layer, also with excellent thermal performance. The thickness of the slabs (50 mm or 100 mm) is determined based on thermal engineering calculations.
To insulate single-layer ventilated facades, Izover Facade Mono and VentFasad Optima for low-rise buildings are used.
Another type of slabs with a thickness of 50 and 100 mm (in some cases 150 mm) is Isover KL34. The materials are tightly mounted on the frame without the use of additional fasteners. The slabs, just like Classic, are suitable for insulating both ventilated facades and multi-layer brickwork, while insulating horizontal and vertical planes is equally effective.
Isover KL37 is an insulation material sold in tightly compressed packages. Just like the previous options, it does not require additional fasteners and is suitable for installation between floors, insulation of roofs and walls with maximum adherence to the surface.
A variation of the previous model is Isover KT37, produced in compressed rolls. Installation of insulation for thermal insulation does not require additional fasteners; the elements adhere 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 is a thermal insulation material, the installation of which is complicated by the use of fasteners. It is produced in hard, rough slabs and adheres well to concrete. The composition includes extruded polystyrene foam, due to which insulated cells are formed that improve moisture resistance. Both horizontal and vertical surfaces inside and outside are insulated with the material.
Another type of material ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL in the form thermal insulation mats made of fiberglass. The material is developed using a special vertical fiberization technology, additionally covered with a layer of aluminum foil to improve vapor barrier and increase service life.
ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL mats are used for insulation of supply and exhaust air ducts ventilation system, technological equipment, fittings, pipeline flange connections, etc.
The main advantages of ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL include the special arrangement of fibers, due to which the material, during installation, retains its original shape unchanged, fitting as tightly as possible to the surface. In addition, the insulation increases the level of sound insulation in the room and is suitable for thermal insulation of pipes inside buildings.
The advantage of ISOVER ISOTEC KIM-AL is also its resistance to chemicals. If we compare KIM-AL with other insulation materials based on stone wool, its superiority is obvious - the material is not susceptible to moisture and aggressive environments.
When using insulation material (it doesn’t matter whether it’s Classic Facade, Pro or soundproofing slabs), you need to protect your hands and eyes with gloves and goggles.
