Izover heater technical specifications dimensions. What you need to know about insulation Izover

Thermal insulation is an invariable component of any construction. Currently, materials from this category are represented on the market by a very diverse assortment, so it can be difficult for a buyer to make the right choice.

Among the presented variety, ISOVER brand insulation is consistently popular. This is a trademark of the world famous Saint-Gobain concern, which supplies its products to the domestic market more than 20 years. During this time, a certain opinion has already been formed about the insulation "Isover". Therefore, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the features and characteristics of this material.

Manufacturing technology "Izover"

What is ISOVER? This is mineral wool-based insulation, which is available in rolls, boards and soft mats. However, regardless of the form, the products are manufactured using the same technology. The process looks like this:

As a raw material, a mixture of quartz sand, limestone, soda ash, microscopic particles of glass is used.

The components are mixed and heated to a temperature 1,300 degrees. As a result of thermal exposure, the 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 great speed. The walls of the working tank have openings through which the molten substance is squeezed out, forming thin filaments.

Then the resulting fiberglass is mixed with glue based on polymeric materials.

The mixture is re-subjected to heat treatment, simultaneously aligning the layers with steel shafts.

At the final stage of production, the insulation is cut into ribbons, following the given dimensions.

Varieties of thermal insulation

The range of insulation ISOVER has several items. Each of the varieties of manufactured material has its own characteristics, which determines the scope. In particular, on the market you can find such categories of insulation:

Basic characteristics can be found in the markings on the packaging. It looks like this:

OL-E. The only material in the series that is used for outdoor applications. The material has high density and non-porous structure.

Kl. Soft plates designed for insulation of internal partitions and ventilated facades.

AL. Insulation with this marking has a layer of aluminum foil on the surface, which performs the function of vapor barrier.

Kt. This is a roll insulation used to isolate large areas.

Knowing these features, you can easily choose a heater for solving specific construction problems.

Fiberglass Products

"Isover" is considered a universal insulation, therefore it is suitable for such work:

Heat and sound insulation of external wall structures.

Arrangement of ventilated facades.

Soundproofing of internal wall partitions.

Industrial ventilation systems, pipelines.

Pros and cons of a heater to be aware of

Like any building material, ISOVER has its advantages and disadvantages. By the way, the advantages of the insulation are noticeably greater, which largely determines its steadily growing popularity.

TO strengths  relate:

A wide range of products.

Easy storage and transportation.

Long service life - up to 50 years.

Resistance to temperature differences.

Reliable heat and sound insulation.

Clear flaws  are considered:

Lack of environmental safety.

Dependence on external factors: perfectly absorbs moisture.

Some builders attribute the soft structure of the insulation to the shortcomings, which somewhat limits the scope of its application.

Material Specifications

With an optimal price / quality ratio, thermal insulation has the following technical characteristics:

High thermal conductivity: 0.033-0.037 W / mK.

Combustibility class NG: Does not ignite and does not support combustion.

Wide operating temperature range: without deformation withstands heating up to 6,000 degrees.

Density: order 15 kg / m2.

Moisture absorption: 0.08 kg / m per day.

It is necessary to clarify that these are average indicators. Heater is available in a wide range, so the density and thermal conductivity indicators can vary.

Which is better, Isover or Rockwool?

These brands of insulation are direct competitors in the construction market, so consumers are interested in which material to prefer. It must immediately be clarified that both heaters have similar characteristics, however, they are produced using different technologies.

ISOVER - mineral wool, made on the basis of fiberglass, is produced by a French company. ROCKWOOL - basalt cotton wool produced in Poland. Given 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, then there is no clear answer: it all depends on the area of \u200b\u200bapplication. In particular, Izover is better suited for the insulation of floors on the first floors, non-residential roofs, balconies and loggias.

This is due to the fact that non-compliance with the installation technology can lead to the fact that microscopic particles of glass will float in the air of residential premises, which can adversely affect 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 a heater.

Subtleties of working with ISOVER insulation

When working with material, personal protective equipment should not be neglected. Gloves and a respirator are a must when mounting.

Directly laying the insulation is not difficult. The wall is cleaned of dirt, closed with a waterproofing film. Then a crate of wooden blocks or an aluminum profile is installed. Insulation fills the space between the bars, on top is a layer of vapor barrier and finish.

Briefly about the manufacturer

As mentioned above, ISOVER is a trademark of Saint-Gobain Industrial Group. The enterprise has 350 year historyThe central office is in Paris. Representative offices are available in 67 countries of the world. In addition to ISOVER, Saint-Gobain also produces ISOROC and ISITEC brand insulation materials.

In Russia, enterprises are located in Yegoryevsk and Chelyabinsk near Moscow. The products are manufactured according to original technology, subject to mandatory certification of an international standard, complies with GOST standards. It should be noted that since 2013, enterprises have launched a basalt cotton wool production line under the brand of the same name.

Insulation Izover: specifications, photos, price

In the trade names of building materials, you can easily get lost, especially when you deal with them from time to time. In addition, all names are often similar. This also applies to the insulation Isover, 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 a light hand of Saint Gobain. As before, this is a material based on fiberglass and mineral fibers, but due to localized production, the price of the material has ceased to be European at a fairly good quality.

What is Izover

Insulation Isover technical specifications photo whose price will be shown below, can be supplied in a wide variety of forms and formats. It depends on the place of its application. Only one thing remains unchanged - this is insulation 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 coefficient of thermal conductivity of the universal Izover. It is on the order of 0.036 W / m³ and can 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 no material can simply physically have the characteristics that Isover declares of any type.

Characteristics of Izover

Minimal heat loss is ensured by a 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, Isover can 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. Nevertheless, when Isover insulates foundations, socles and facades, experts recommend leaving at least 2 cm for adequate ventilation. For water repellent, 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.

Safety, weight and price

According to GOST, Isover is considered non-combustible in the case when it is used in the form of clean plates, mats and rolls. In combination with aluminum foil or film, it can be considered low-combustible, but even this is sufficient from a security point of view to quietly insulate the interior walls of residential buildings with material, not to mention the facades. Izover in this sense has no restrictions on its use.

One of their distinctive qualities of the material is its very low weight. This is important when considering the costs of crate equipment, fasteners, and additional items 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 production localization, it was possible to achieve the price level of domestic materials, and this is about 130-180 rubles per square meter of insulation. Insulator packaging can cost from a thousand to 1,500 rubles, depending on the brand.

Dimensions, density and types of insulation

The density of the material can have a decisive role when used in certain conditions. For example, the densest insulation has a density of 120 to 160 kg / m³ and it is used for roofing, and the least dense with an index of 28-38 kg / m³ can be used both for walls and for facades. Izover for the floor 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. For example, for foil-resistant moisture-resistant Izover for wet rooms, it can be produced in rolls with a thickness of 50 to 100 mm, and the length of a loose coil will be within 1.25 m. Universal insulation can have a thickness of up to 100 mm and can be produced in the form of plates of various sizes, 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.

Scopes of a heater

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:

  1. For baths and saunas, foil isover is used.
  2. Ceilings, floors are insulated with less dense material.
  3. For floor and roofing, Izover is used with increased density.
  4. It is used when installing plastic windows.
  5. For warming balconies.
  6. For insulation of basement and basement.
  7. Interior partitions are insulated taking into account the fact that the material has good sound insulation.
  8. For insulation of facades.

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 houses!

What you need to know about insulation Izover. Characteristics

The world famous brand since 1937, the brand Isover or Isover has been selling its products in Russia and the CIS for several decades. Thermal insulation Izover is mats, plates and rolls of stone wool and glass wool. Today we will understand their features.

We will briefly plunge into history and facts

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 then the company was engaged in the manufacture of mirrors and glass. And in the brand name “Isover” two words are used: “insulation” and “glass”. Today in Russia, the brand has two factories in which heaters are manufactured. One makes materials from stone fiber, the other from fiberglass. Thermal insulation Isover in Russia used to be sold under the name "Uteplyaev".

Appointment

In its lineup, the manufacturer has several dozen types of materials designed for insulation and sound insulation:

· And other objects.

Below are schematically shown the scope of these materials.

General characteristics of thermal insulation "Isover"

Perhaps, within the framework of one article, it is difficult to pay attention to each direction in the line, so we will reduce the approximate general characteristics of these materials.

The main characteristics of the insulation Izover:

  • Thermal conductivity: 0.031-0.041 W / m2 * K,
  • Flammability: from G1 (low combustible) to NG (nonflammable),
  • Vapor permeability: 0.50 - 0.55 mg / mchPa,
  • Service life: up to 50 years,
  • Breathability is 120 * 10-6m3 / m × s × Pa,
  • Thickness: from 50 millimeters.

These are only average indicators, it is always worth going to the manufacturer’s official website for the most accurate indicators. In the table below, we give for example more accurate characteristics of light heaters.

Also, for information, we provide a table of characteristics Izover mats Classic

Stone wool

Minvata Izover (basalt cotton wool) is produced at a plant in Chelyabinsk, and is available only in the form of a slab with different hardness indices.

Minvata Isover is the following product line:

A little later we will describe the features of each representative of this line. Isover mineral wool itself is more expensive than fiberglass materials.

The size of the plate is as always the same 1200 by 600 mm. Thickness is different and is listed in the size chart below.

Glass wool

The cheaper and more commonly used glass wool Izover is represented in the product line:

· Isover Classic (classic Isover),

· Quiet and warm roof,

· Uteplyaev (Universal, only for Siberia).

Let's pay attention to three popular types of materials:

Description of materials. Both of the first materials are soft fiberglass roll mats. However, the numbers in the index refer Isover KT 37 to the corresponding thermal insulation class 37, and Izover KT 40 provides a twin insulation - two mats are stacked on top of each other. The total thickness is 50 and 75 mm.

The thermal conductivity of Izover CT 37 and 40 is corresponding to 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, it is necessary to build a crate and materials are used for internal wall insulation and other internal works. Density is about 15 kg per cubic meter. Sometimes you can also find the marking Isover KT Special (CT Special) - this is insulation in rolls of the same series. Below are the details.

Heater Izover 37 and 40 specifications and sizes:

Isover KL 37 material in the form of mats (Izover soft boards have a density of 16 kg / m3). This series is intended for isolation:

In those places where there will be no load on the insulation (that is, in the frame and along the lags).

The table below you can see the characteristics of Isover kl 37

The KL 34 model has lower thermal conductivity than the 37th.

For the sauna, there are separate types of foil material. One side of the mat is covered with foil, which prevents it from getting wet.

Density and sizes of Izover correspond to state standard specifications. The declared parameters of the insulation Izover and technical specifications correspond to the market as a whole.

The cost of insulation, especially in times of crisis, is a particularly important topic. In this article we will not be able to quote prices for all options, but still we will show the main ones.

For example, a Sauna model in a roll of 6,250 long, 1,200 wide and 100 mm thick will cost about 1,400 rubles.

Isover KL 37, 10 plates per pack, plate thickness of 100 mm will also cost about 1400 rubles.

A pitched roof, 20 slabs, 100 mm thick each, will cost 1000 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:

They insulated the walls of the house with Rockwool stone wool and worked without glasses and gloves. It remains to insulate one wall and there were not enough plates. We decided to save, the price for 8 plates of 50 mm thick is 350 rubles. Savings when buying Izover 20 rubles on each plate. While my husband was at work, I undertook to put isolation myself. I did not wear any protective equipment, as before, it was tin. Coughing, sneezing, itching. She covered it with foil and screwed drywall. Even after two days the heater stinks. I still closed everything from above with expensive murals ... it's a pity to shoot. But, there was no choice when you sleep, the feeling that you breathe dust. The little child did not sleep for three nights. We pulled out this insulation and ordered a new one. It is a pity of course, money, once again convinced that it is better more expensive, but once. Hope it helps someone. The insulation of the walls by Isover inside - it seems to me not an option at all.

It is worth remembering that Isover emits harmful substances - phenol (it stinks). Higher

the temperature in the room, the stronger the smell and the more substances are released. It is recommended to cover the cotton with film on top and bottom. As my repair experience showed, under cotton wool, it is necessary to put it from the ceiling side. It is advisable to secure it with a stapler. Do not forget to glue the joints - so the smell in the room will be much less. (Even if you yourself do not feel this evaporation, you still have it).

I work as an engineer and I have to select materials that will be both inexpensive and effective. I decided to use Izover for the pipeline.

As far as I can remember, pipes were always insulated with cotton - green. It is very scratchy and has almost no effect - people still have cold pipes. We decided to do something about it. Found Isover - attracted by a low price. They wrapped the pipe, plastered it over the net and left it for the winter for inspection. Pipes lie on the surface, so it should just be seen how the insulation works.

So, snow fell, inside the pipe +115, if there was a plus on the plaster, a snow crust would form, but no, everything is fine, the pipe on top is cold.

I calculated the costs and it turned out that, taking all the rules into account, the price would be 2 times lower compared to other materials.

After that, the whole enterprise switched to Izover thermal insulation, and now we have insulated them not only with pipes, but also with walls, roof, facade, especially ventilated ones.

The material showed itself well and did not deteriorate over time. A vapor barrier is required when installing on facades and roofing. It is quite normally cut, with an ordinary knife.

This article described the characteristics of Isover. We also provided feedback from real consumers for an objective assessment. 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.

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 product range is wide enough, which opens up great opportunities in terms of insulation of both private and industrial buildings.

Description and Application

The presented material has many advantages and disadvantages of mineral wool. And this is not surprising, since their properties are fairly close. They produce it in the form of plates, which can be either rigid or semi-rigid. There is still the opportunity to buy Izover in the form of rolls and mats. They are involved in the arrangement of the roof and facades of the house, ceilings, walls and floors.

The basis of Izover is glass fibers, the length of which reaches 100-150 microns, and a thickness of 4-5 microns. It is these parameters that the Izover heat insulator allows to obtain high elasticity and resistance to stresses.

  1. Izover  - This is a heat-insulating material, so it is characterized by low thermal conductivity - 0.038.
  2. Excellent sound insulation performance.
  3. For the manufacture of insulation used fiberglass, which is not afraid of bacterial or fungal infections. It is not influenced by rodents and small insects.
  4. High moisture permeability. This indicator is a drawback. This is explained by the fact that the material has a porous structure.
  5. Low specific gravity  - 13 kg / m3. Thanks to this, the process of installation, transportation and loading of material is simplified. Installation of insulation can be done with your own hands.
  6. Ecological cleanliness.
  7. High degree of resistance  from the negative effects of chemicals.
  8. High ductility. Mats can be compressed up to 60%, and rolls up to 75%.
  9. Fire resistance.

If we talk about the size of the Izover material, then they depend on the form of release. The thickness of the rolls of mats can be 5.10 cm - a single layer option. But for a two-layer layer, the thickness of one layer is 5 cm. For the roll type, the standard width is 120 cm and the length is 7-14 cm. But the girth area can vary between 16-20 m2.

Thanks to him, the insulation does not absorb moisture at all, even if it is completely immersed in water. This quality of the material allows you to use it in difficult climatic conditions. The cost is 1100 rubles.

This material is made in the form of rolls. They are used for thermal insulation of the internal parts of a house built of concrete, wood, aerated concrete. Although today they began to use it to warm the internal walls, the attic and the floor.

On the photo-heater Izover KT37

KT37 - This is a soft insulation, as its density is 15 kg / m3.  Due to this, a heat insulator can be used on surfaces that are subjected to severe mechanical stress. Packed material in rolls is compressed 2 times, which simplifies the transportation process. It has low thermal conductivity, so to get reliable insulation it is enough to mount the material in one layer.

Rolls have a thickness of 50 or 100 mm, a length of 630 cm and a width of 60 cm. Using roll material, you can heat most of the surface much faster than when using tile insulation. As for fire safety, the KT37 is a completely non-combustible heat insulator. The cost of the material is 850 rubles.

This material consists of two layers, produced in the form of a roll. Serve for thermal insulation of the walls of frame buildings, internal walls of brick. The roll has a thickness of 100 mm, so that a 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.

On the photo-heater Izover KT 40:

The material has low thermal conductivity, high vapor permeability, which allows it to be used when warming buildings made of wood and frame houses. Insulation refers to non-combustible materials. It can be used for thermal insulation of buildings, the operation of which will occur in difficult conditions. You can buy it at a price of 760 rubles.

This material is presented in the form of tiles. Involve it when warming ventilated facades. Venti has a fairly serious technical characteristics, and especially high strength. If you immerse it in water on a jet, then it will absorb no more than 1% of the total weight.

Isofer is a well-known brand for the manufacture 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. But here all of them are united by such qualities as durability and low thermal conductivity.

The most popular roll and tile insulation is isover. It is called the company patented the production of material from sand, limestone and soda, while it is 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 in a thousand fibers reaches 150 microns with a thickness of 5 microns. These parameters make the material very resilient 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 coefficient of thermal conductivity. It provides a high degree of thermal protection.
  • Excellent sound reduction properties. Makes it possible to significantly reduce noise
  • High environmental friendliness of the material. It can be used to warm any room
  • Durability. This material can last at least 5 decades.
  • Incombustibility. It really does not burn, but at high temperatures it is capable of melting
  • Light weight. Thanks to this indicator, the isover can even be used to warm typesetting constructions.

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

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

Types of insulation ISOVER

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

  • Lightweight thermal insulation. In production, TEL technology is used. Plates and mats are produced. It can be used as or brick, for insulation of roofs, do not use for insulation of foundations and floors
  • General construction insulation. There are also several varieties:
      - soft fiberglass plates for frame structures,
      - rolled mats are used without fasteners,
      - mats, one side of which has a foil base,
      - medium hard plates
  • Special products. It's 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 - special stiffness mats
  • The numbers indicate the thermal conductivity class.

The manufacturer on the packaging indicates where each type of ISOVER should be used for insulation and sound insulation.

ISOVER Application

The scope of ISOVER is the most diverse. It can be used for insulation
  roofs, attics, building facades, interior of rooms, false ceilings, floor, basement and foundation.

  • ISOVER KT40 is recommended for use when insulating ceilings and floors. 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 tiled material that requires mandatory fixing when mounting on vertical surfaces. Successful use for horizontal surfaces is also possible.
  • ISOVER KL 34, ISOVER KL 37 - plates that are released in pressed rolls. The material is used as, for insulation of internal partitions, for thermal insulation of ceilings, attics

In fact, for any stage of insulation, the installation of Isover involves the creation of a crate.
  When using ISOVER indoors, vapor barrier is required.

How to insulate the walls and floor of Izover?

It is necessary to work with this material as well as with any other insulation. The main thing to know is that quality insulation is a multi-layer cake. And then there will be a positive result when the procedure for compiling the layers of this pie is followed.

Wall insulation

In order to mount Isover on the wall, it is necessary to make a crate. It can be wooden planks or metal. Drywall will then need to be attached to them.

The technique of the work may be as follows:

  1. Walls must be primed
  2. Fix the heat-reflecting sheet. This should only be done for walls that border the street.
  3. Make a vertical crate. It can be a full frame, but there can be ordinary wooden planks. A step between the strips should be done in width ISOVER
  4. Lay insulation sheets by gluing them to the wall
  5. Fixing a moisture repellent film
  6. 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 hold the mount over your head.

Disadvantages of ISOVER

Even modern materials cannot be absolutely perfect. But regarding ISOVER, it can be said that its two drawbacks can be completely leveled.

  • ISOVER - pricks and causes irritation. You can avoid this if you work with gloves.
  • ISOVER is afraid of moisture and under its influence it loses all its positive qualities. This means that the material can not be used outside (except for those that have additional protection in the form of foil layers)

Cost ISOVER

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

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

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

Izover was created specifically to improve the thermal performance of buildings. This is a good material that is easy to mount. Moreover, its price is quite affordable. Izover of a more modern generation, created for external use, is much more expensive, but so far its technical characteristics are somewhat inferior to other extruded heaters. So the best use of ISOVER for heat and sound insulation indoors.

Video instructions for installing ISOVER insulation

The installation process is quick. Here is a good video on how to do this, avoiding blunders.

Installing insulation on the ceiling is a little more complicated. Useful tips and an example of ISOVER installation in practice will help you avoid mistakes and speed up the process.

The ISOVER company (Isover) - in the world market takes a leading position in the manufacture of insulation for any type of structure.

The plates of the Izover company are considered the best insulation materials on the construction market. Most of the ISOVER insulation production is carried out abroad, but also in Russia, insulation is produced in the Moscow region, in the city of Yegoryevsk. A large plant producing heat and noise insulation, in addition, the plant is the only one that produces mineral wool based on quartz and basalt.

What you need to know when choosing a heater

Thermal conductivity coefficient (λ)

Choosing heat-insulating products in the first place, it is necessary to pay special attention to such an indicator as the coefficient of thermal conductivity -   λ (lambda). The smaller the value of lambda, the better you can insulate the house, due to the fact that the value of thermal conductivity reflects: how much heat passes through the heater per unit time.

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

Types of thermal conductivity (λ)

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

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

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

Which insulation to choose: in plates or rolls?

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

  • Convenience in the insulation of large surface areas, ease of installation due to the fact that one roll can be used to insulate a large area of \u200b\u200bthe house.
  • When used, fewer joints appear, and therefore, the permeability of air flows decreases.
  • Low material consumption.
  • Suitable for non-standard rafter pitch, ease of cutting to the required width.

  • It is recommended for warming small rooms.
  • Suitable for work for one person.
  • They are fixed by surprise without the use of additional fasteners.

Installation of mineral wool Izover do-it-yourself

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

Isover for roof insulation

The amount of materials for thermal insulation is constantly growing. More and more consumers are realizing the need for insulation of walls, roofs and foundations of private houses and other buildings. The technical characteristics and advantages of the Izover insulation make some people use this material. What he really is? What are the advantages and properties?

What is Isover insulation?

This insulation is represented by mineral wool - fibrous material, which is made in the form of plates, rolls and mats. The thickness of the glass fibers is 4-5 microns, and the length is 100-150 microns. For production, only natural components are used, so you should not worry about the environmental friendliness of the material.

Plates can be rigid and semi-rigid. Insulation is mounted both in horizontal and in vertical position, both during internal work and when arranging facades.


  Izover

It is made of sand (quartz) and glass break. To improve certain properties, soda, borax, limestone and other components can be added to the material. All the mass is poured into a special hopper. There is a process of melting the ingredients. When the molten glass flies out of the centrifuge, it forms filaments by inflating with steam. When hit on rolls, aerosol-soaked threads align and form a carpet. Then, at + 250 ° C, the polymerization process takes place. When the material cools down, it is cut into rolls, mats and boards.

Specifications, advantages and disadvantages

Since insulation is the main role of Izover, it is worth paying attention to its thermal conductivity. The coefficient of thermal conductivity is in the range of 0.038 W / (m * K). Among other advantages, the following factors can be distinguished:

  • Good soundproofing. Using mineral wool in the interior partitions can achieve a good effect.
  • It is not eaten by rodents and insects. Therefore, using such material for the facade, you can not be afraid that subsequently holes from rodents will appear in it.
  • Easy installation. This material is produced in various forms, so you can choose the one that will be optimal for the job.
  • Long term of operation - 50 years.
  • The material does not deform under compression and has tensile strength. Due to its good compressibility, it is convenient to transport.
  • Resistance to extreme temperatures.
  • The insulation is not combustible, therefore, it meets the high fire safety requirements.

  Ceiling insulation

Material disadvantages:

  • The need to use protective equipment during installation work. Although over time there will be no harm from mineral wool, it is necessary to protect the respiratory organs when installing thermal insulation.
  • High moisture permeability. If it gets wet during operation or during installation, heat-shielding properties will be lost. Therefore, doing facade work, mineral wool must either be covered or covered with a layer of plaster as soon as possible after installation. This will prevent the harmful effects of rainfall.
