Izba construction insulation ensures the quality of heat energy storage in residential, office buildings, shops and industrial premises. Due to the peculiarities of production (minelite and synthetic binder), the material is environmentally friendly. This combination of components provides effective thermal insulation and a comfortable temperature in any room.
Features of the production of insulation Izba
Mineral wool insulation is characterized by minimal hygroscopicity and good density. For this reason, basalt, gabbro rocks, hydrophobic additives and a synthetic binder are used for the production of Izba insulator. Insulation based on basalt fibers was developed in the Russian Federation, therefore it is fully adapted to the domestic climate.
Production is concentrated on the territory of Russia, in the Sverdlovsk region, which eliminates the client's overpayment for customs declarations of conformity and transportation.
The technical manufacturing process should be considered in stages:
- Extraction of basalt in quarries and its transportation to the plant for further processing.
- Crushing large pieces into small fractions.
- Melting material. The crushed basalt is heated red-hot, and then cooled with an air jet under pressure. The density of the slab depends on the parameters of the pressure height.
- Formation of cotton wool with small fibers from a viscous mass.
- Plate forming. The quality of adhesion of the fibers to each other is controlled; special substances are used for tight gluing.
Due to the dense interwoven base, the cotton wool gains tensile strength. The entangled structure helps to prevent sound effects. The insulation is not afraid of mechanical influences, but it can be cut without problems.
The final product in the form of slabs is supplied in packs of 4-8 pieces. Minvata Izba slab-type is easily cut into strips, square and rectangular elements, which eliminates overspending.
The manufacturer selects the optimal proportions of basalt and auxiliary components, so the products are environmentally friendly.
The name of the product is an abbreviation of the words INSULATION BASALT.
Varieties of insulation Izba
The manufacturer produces several series of heaters, which differ in density, thickness and scope of use.
Izba Facade
Thermal insulation of the façade line is distinguished by its soundproof properties; it fits on the outer surfaces of buildings up to 16 m high. Compatible with plaster and ceramic tiles.
The facade line includes the following series:
- MC is a light material with a density of 95 to 105 kg / m3 for low-rise buildings.
- ВС - with density parameters from 105 to 125 kg / m3 and thermal conductivity of 0.036-0.043 W / mK.
- 135 - plaster boards without reinforcement.
- 150 - with a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.037-0.046 W / mK.
Thermal insulation The izba is cut into strips for the purpose of performing fire protection or outdoor installation along the line of windows and doors.
Izba Light
Minplate is used for structures that are not affected by the load.With the help of the material, you can insulate the attic, floor or walls of a private house, cottage, industrial workshop. Non-combustible heat-insulating plates have dimensions of 100x60 cm and are 50-200 mm in thickness. Depending on the series, the hydrophobized material differs:
- density from 32 to 42 kg / m3;
- thermal conductivity 0.035 W;
- vapor permeability 0.3 mg / Pa;
- moisture absorption from 1 to 1.5%.
Slabs from the Light series are suitable for installation on pitched roofs, mansards, interfloor ceilings, between floor joists.
Izba Venti
Mineral wool heat insulator for installation on ventilated facades. Density parameters allow the formation of several layers with a total thickness of 8-9 cm. The series is distinguished by increased sound insulation and fire resistance, is presented in several options depending on the density:
- 25 kg / m3 - mats that are lightweight and loose;
- 30 kg / m3 - absorbs 3% moisture at full immersion, therefore it needs additional hydro and vapor barrier;
- 35 kg / m3 - water absorption is 2.5%, compression is 20%;
- 40 kg / m3 - suitable for insulation of ceilings and interior structures.
The insulation is mounted without a windproof film.
Hut Roof
The roof with this series is insulated in two layers. Minvata is presented in three categories:
- for the top - slabs with parameters density 175-190 kg / m3 and thermal conductivity from 60 to 70 kPa;
- for the bottom - the density is from 100 to 110 kg / m3, and the rigidity allows the top layer to withstand;
- for screed or roll waterproofing - the density of the material ranges from 135 to 150 kg / m3.
The roof hut is suitable for floor coverings and subfloor beams.
Izba Standard
Insulation of the manufacturer Izba Standard series is represented by several models:
- Medium hardness. The density of the slabs is 60 or 70 kg / m3, which allows them to be used for attics, walls outside and inside, sloped roofs.
- Lungs. Materials with a density of 40 or 50 kg / m3 are used for interior partitions, lightweight interlayer of hinged facade systems.
The series is characterized by a thermal conductivity of 0.035-0.038 W / m · K, a compression density of 6 to 12% and a water absorption of 1.5%.
Thermal insulation thickness Standard - from 50 to 200 mm.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of Izba mineral wool include:
- minimum level of thermal conductivity - dense material keeps heat well even during severe cold snaps;
- vapor permeability of the coating - walls with insulation "breathe", therefore they do not collapse;
- environmental safety - during installation and during operation, toxic substances are not emitted;
- fire resistance - stone wool is classified as non-combustible material;
- low hygroscopicity - moisture-resistant boards can be installed outside the house and in damp rooms;
- no crumbs and waste when cutting;
- density that provides sound insulation even for a thin wall;
- ease of laying and processing by cutting;
- resistance to chemicals, damage by rodents and insects, the formation of mold and mildew.
The disadvantages of the heat insulator include fragility, which leads to damage as a result of transportation and installation. Basalt slab weighs more in comparison with other mineral insulation materials.
Operation specifics
Minplate is supplied in branded plastic packaging of TM Izba. Shrink film provides long-term storage in an indoor environment. A universal heat insulator is used to perform thermal protection:
- bearing wall surfaces;
- roofing structures;
- attic rooms;
- floor and ceiling ceilings;
- internal partitions;
- openings of windows and doors;
- ventilation and heating mains.
Mineral slabs can be used as noise protection.
Rules for installing insulation Izba
It is allowed to install the isolate along the frame, horizontally or slope. For frame insulation, fasteners are not used - the plates enter the cell with an interference fit. For thermal insulation work on the ceiling, frame suspensions are used, and the material is attached to dowels. On a pitched roof, rafters or counter-lattice are allocated for fasteners.
The specifics of installing thermal insulation depends on the type of work, but there are several general rules:
- Before work, the surface and the cotton itself are inspected for defects.
- On the roof, together with the vapor barrier, the slab is laid with an air gap of 5 cm. To eliminate the risks of moisture access, the joints are glued with tape.
- When installing on the floor, a membrane waterproofing is placed in front of the thermal insulation.
- On a wooden frame with antiseptic impregnation, the racks are pre-filled vertically. The thickness of the slabs is selected depending on the thickness of the timber.
- The crossbeams are adjusted to the size of the mineral wool. The insulator must fit tightly into the finished cell, completely adhering to the frame. This prevents the formation of "cold bridges".
- A vapor barrier film is laid on the finished material, and then sheets of plasterboard, OSB, chipboard.
- On the outer wall, it is allowed to make a windproof sheathing, and only then lay the material.
The insulation can be installed in 2-3 layers.
Comparison of heaters Izba and Rocklight
Basalt wool TM Izba is popular among private developers and large companies. To understand this process, it makes sense to compare it with other thermal insulation. For example, let's take a basalt analogue of TM TechnoNIKOL.
Rocklight stone wool is suitable for sloped roofs, siding, because installed vertically, horizontally and obliquely on a special frame. The thermal conductivity of the material is constant - 0.036 W / m, the density is 30 kg / m3, which is lower than that of Izba. Mineral wool does not shrink, but it must be used in conjunction with hydro- and noise-insulating systems.
The Russian insulation material Izba is a worthy analogue of imported products. The manufacturer indicates that it can be used for 50 years. Home owners and professional builders note the ease of installation and cutting of panel products.
