Isoroc mineral wool insulation - effective heat preservation

Information about the manufacturer Izoroc

Izoroc products are manufactured in compliance with European standards

The date of the appearance of the Russian brand "Izorok" is considered to be 2000, when a large association was created on the basis of the Tambov Mineral Insulation Plant. Further development of this production was supported by investments from a number of foreign companies.

Over time, Izoroc mineral wool has become a very popular product in demand in most areas of construction technology.

To expand the production of mineral wool, the association required:

significantly expand their production areas;
acquire modern equipment to automate the workflow;
to master new technologies of waste-free production of insulation products.

Izorok thermal insulation is made on the basis of the finest fibers from a melt of mineral rocks, the individual components of which are held together by a special binder. The need to comply with all the intricacies of the technological chain stimulated the engineers of the concern to improve this process all the time. Today it belongs to the undisputed leaders of the Russian market of insulation materials.

All samples of Isoroc mineral wool insulation are manufactured in compliance with European standards. Since its production is organized in Russia, the prices are attractive for domestic consumers.

Features of insulation Izorok

Izorok mineral wool is made of natural non-combustible materials with a high melting point, therefore it is a fire-resistant material and can be used for the installation of fire-fighting devices.
The insulation consists of fibers, between which there is air, therefore, it has a low coefficient of thermal conductivity.
The company's product range includes materials of various densities, and heavy slabs are capable of withstanding significant loads and can be used on flat roofs.
The strong connection of the fibers ensures high peel strength, and the treatment with water-repellent materials reduces the wetting of the cotton wool in high humidity conditions.
Due to the fibrous structure of the material, the insulation poorly conducts sound. Good vapor permeability of the material facilitates the removal of moisture from the walls and the insulation layer.
Izorok is made from environmentally friendly materials and is absolutely safe.

The disadvantages include the deterioration of the heat-insulating properties of the material when wet, the need for careful vapor-waterproofing, the sliding of light grades of mineral wool from vertical surfaces, the separation of fibers during the installation of insulation.

Product line

The density of Isoflor allows it to be laid under a concrete screed or decorative floor

The line of insulation materials for Izorok walls contains several subspecies focused on the characteristics of the protected surfaces and various areas of application. It includes the following names:

Isolight-L;
Isovent;
Isofrol;
Isoruf in packs;
Izorok in slabs (in cylindrical shapes).

Samples of Isolight-Lux products have a density of 60 kg / cu. meter and are used to insulate surfaces of various orientations. At the same time, large loads and deformation stresses in the layers of products of this type are unacceptable. The next model in the series, Isovent-L, is distinguished by a significantly higher density (up to 90 kg / cubic meter) and is used for arranging ventilation of building facades.

In the Isoflor modification, the density indicator declared by the manufacturer is close to 140 kg / cu. m.This insulation is used as an intermediate link in three-layer reinforced concrete structures. It is allowed to be used in sandwich panels. For thermal insulation of roofs and concrete floors, another type of insulation material is used, called Isoruf. It is produced with marks H, B or NL, and its average density is 110 kg / cu. meter. Billets of this material or mats without a broaching shell are marked as "MP", and if available - "MP (ST)".

Insulation Izorok in slabs has two modifications with a material density of 75 and 100 kg / cu. per meter, respectively. They are ideally suited for the protection of any horizontal surfaces, but do not allow the load to be exceeded above the limit level. Izorok Cylinders bearing the CF marking are considered as a separate category of heat insulators. Various samples of these products differ in the diameter of cylindrical billets (within 18-273 mm) and are used to insulate cold water and hot water pipes.

Features of ISOROC mineral wool

ISOROC boards and rolls are made of fibers with air between them. The material has low thermal conductivity, withstands high temperatures, therefore it is fire-resistant material, preventing the spread of fire in a fire. The assortment of the domestic company ISOROC includes slabs of mineral wool of various densities and different pricing policies.

Plates with a high density are able to withstand significant loads, therefore they are used for insulating concrete floors and flat roofs. Treatment of fiber insulation with water-repellent compounds increases its waterproof characteristics. The disadvantages of mineral wool insulation include an increase in thermal conductivity when wet, so it is necessary to do waterproofing.

Scopes of insulation

Stone wool cylinders are used in engineering communications

Insulation materials of the Izorok brand are characterized by the fact that they are used not only in construction, but also in other areas. In their classic form, they are used:

for internal thermal insulation and warming of floors (interfloor floors);
in order to protect attic rooms and roofs of buildings;
for sound insulation of premises in apartment buildings.

When choosing products suitable for specific purposes, the density of the insulation material used must be taken into account.

Due to their ability to retain heat well, they are used for thermal insulation of various utilities, including centralized water supply and heating systems.

Tips for choosing insulation ISOROC

Universal thermal insulation ISOLIGHT is a slab of moisture-resistant basalt wool. ISOLIGHT is used in residential and industrial structures as non-loadable thermal insulation. Scope - partitions, external and internal walls, ceilings, roofs, basements.

Universal insulation ISOVENT - non-combustible slabs made of moisture-resistant stone wool. They are used for thermal and sound insulation of surfaces and enclosing structures of all types (vertical, horizontal, inclined). A prerequisite is the presence of an air gap (ventilated facades for siding).

Universal insulation ISOFLOOR is a non-combustible moisture-resistant mineral wool in the form of slabs. Provides a reduction in heat loss in concrete and reinforced concrete structures, self-leveling and electric water floors, wall sandwich panels and similar structures in residential buildings.

Main advantages

The Izorok line of heaters, which has a large number of varieties, is characterized by the following indicators:

low level of thermal conductivity, which reduces the cost of heating the object;
good sound insulation;
high strength indicators;
resistance of insulation boards to deformations and other mechanical influences;
good water-repellent qualities;
fire resistance and environmental friendliness of the product.

Another attractive aspect of this material is its resistance to aggressive environments.

Resistance to fungal formations is explained by the inorganic origin of the starting material, and fire resistance is due to the presence of flame retardant additives in it.

Material specifications

Insulation is produced in the form of slabs of various sizes or rolls, differing in a number of operating parameters. The following technical characteristics of Isoroc insulation are especially important for the user:

The density of the starting material reaches 150 kg / cubic meter.
Compression resistance up to 55 kPa.
Inverse or tensile strength within 15 kPa.
Thermal conductivity, expressed as 0.075 W / (m K).
Moisture absorption - no more than 5%.

The last characteristic is understood as the ability of the fibers of the substance to absorb moisture - hygroscopicity.

The main brands of thermal insulation ISOROC

An increase in the density of fibrous insulation leads to an increase in compressive strength and a decrease in thermal conductivity. In the absence of high-quality waterproofing, moisture can displace air from the space between the fibers, increasing the thermal conductivity of the boards. Insulation brands produced by ISOROC, depending on the purpose, can be divided into several main groups, which we will discuss below.

Slabs Isolite and Isolight-L have a low density, therefore they are used for thermal insulation of horizontal structures without load. ISOLIGHT is used in residential and industrial premises for sound insulation of partitions, insulation of external and internal walls and thermal insulation of interfloor ceilings.

Installation of the frame on the facade and laying of mineral wool slabs

Slabs Isovent and Isovent-L designed for facade insulation with ISOROC mineral wool for siding, as well as external and internal sound insulation of premises. ISOVENT are non-combustible stone wool slabs for high-quality thermal insulation of surfaces and structures of all types (horizontal, vertical and inclined).

Slabs Isoflor and Isocor have a high density, so they can serve under load, the plates are used for floor insulation. ISOFLOOR is a non-combustible material that will reduce heat loss in reinforced concrete structures, self-leveling floors and similar structures.

Slabs Isoruf of all modifications are intended for thermal insulation of flat roofs with a concrete screed over the thermal insulation. Slabs Isofas ISOROC are used for thermal insulation of the facade of brick and block houses with further plastering of the surface.

Installation features

Under the screed, Izorok slabs are laid tightly to each other, without gaps

The peculiarities of mounting Izorok slabs and rolls for surfaces of various classes are manifested in the requirement to adhere to certain rules. They depend on the conditions in which this material is supposed to be used as a heat insulator. However, in any case, its use is permissible only in combination with steam and waterproofing.

Cement floor screed

Installation of insulation on a floor base begins with preparatory operations, which include the following steps:

The screed is cleared of accumulated layers of dirt.
All cracks found on the floor are closed, followed by leveling its surface.
A waterproofing layer is installed, on top of which Izorok mats are laid.

When laying them, you will need to ensure that the workpieces are located end-to-end without noticeable gaps.

On top of the thermal insulation, another waterproofing layer is laid, on which a reinforcing mesh is then placed.The laid reinforcement is poured with a cement screed. When carrying out these works, it is important to take into account that the total thickness of the coating increases significantly.

Thermal insulation of external walls of frame structures

For external walls, a metal frame is formed for mineral wool

Before purchasing Izorok slabs, their total volume is calculated based on the fact that two layers of protective material are formed. Installation works are carried out in the following sequence:

On the walls, a lathing is mounted on the basis of wooden battens or a metal profile.
During installation, the distance between the individual elements must match the dimensions of the insulation boards.
Laying is organized in such a way that the slabs in layers are staggered, the workpieces of the second row completely overlap the joints of the previous one.

To fix the outer sheets on the walls, piece mushroom-type hardware is used, hammered in at 5 points. Waterproofing is mounted on top of the insulated surface, which provides reliable protection of the formed coating.

Insulation of flat roofs

For insulation of roofs, Izorok material with a high density index is selected, laid on a base made of reinforced concrete slabs or a metal profile. Work order:

A vapor barrier is installed to prevent moisture from entering between the layers of the heat insulator.
The edges of the protective film must be folded under the insulation, which does not allow vapors to penetrate into it.
With multi-layer installation, the joints of the slabs are located with a slight offset.
For the upper layer, a material of higher density is selected than for the lower coating.
Waterproofing is installed on top of the insulation.

Isoroc insulation is a reliable and high-quality material used in a wide variety of production areas. Due to the ease of installation and availability, this type of heat insulators is constantly in demand among professionals and people involved in construction at an amateur level.

Brands and purpose of Izorok heaters

Insulation for interior work:

Isolite... Miniplates are designed for insulation and sound insulation of various building structures. These structures include vertical, inclined and horizontal surfaces. Isolite can be used for insulating wall frame structures, including for creating partitions, as a heater in frame walls, interfloor ceilings and attics.
Isoruf... Minplates are used as a heat-insulating layer for equipment of horizontal structures. These can be flat roofs, multilayer insulation is allowed. Another example of use is thermal insulation of floors in the event that the rough base is made by a dry method, that is, there is no cement-sand screed. Isoruf is recommended for use in single-layer coatings. In multilayer insulation, two types of this insulation are usually used: the upper layer is laid with Isoruf B material, and the lower one with Isoruf N.These varieties can also be used as an insulating layer in sandwich panels with a metal sheath.
Isoflor... High-density mats, used in construction work as an intermediate layer in reinforced concrete structures, for the organization of sound and heat insulation of interfloor floors. The same material is used to insulate the floor when arranging a wet screed or self-leveling floor. Isoflor can also be an element of "sandwich panels" with a metal sheath.

Insulation for external work.

Isovent... Mineral wool slabs, the brand of which is used in construction in the form of heat and sound insulation of various structures, such as layered or well masonry. The same option will be most suitable if the building is insulated using a system of hinged ventilated facades.
Isofas... Min plates are recommended to be used for arranging the insulation of the outer perimeter of the walls of the building, if the work is carried out using the wet method. Plates Isofas and Isofas 140 are mainly used as thermal insulation of the facade, where plastering is used. Isofas 90 and 110 grades - respectively, in cases where the plaster layer is thick. Plastering is carried out using a steel reinforcing mesh.

The most popular among private construction is insulation slabs izorok 50 (density 50kg / m3) and izorok 75 (density 75kg / m3). On average, their cost is 350 rubles / pack. They are suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Izorok technical insulation. These products are stitched mats and heat insulating cylinders.

Izorok M1-100, M2-100... This is a heat and sound insulating material, the scope of which includes the insulation of building structures of various types, as well as industrial equipment used in a temperature range from - 180 to an impressive +700 C. Another option for insulation is M2-100 stitched mats, among other things, produced on a metal mesh. And the last representative from this line - M3-100 mats - have an additional coating made of another heat-insulating material - fiberglass.
Isoshell - C and Isoshell - ZF... Foiled heat-insulating cylinders and half-cylinders are designed for thermal insulation of technological pipelines. Working temperature range from -180 to + 400C. The price of a heater of this brand ranges from 400-500 rubles / pack.

Installation of insulation Izorok

There are rules for performing insulation with Izorok plates of different types of surfaces. For most technologies, it is necessary to use steam and waterproofing in order to maintain the quality of the insulation. To ensure the best performance, it is imperative to use the products of the same company.

Cement floor screed with insulation Izorok

Before proceeding with the installation of the insulation, it is necessary to remove the obsolete floor covering, clean the old screed from the dirt located there, fill up the cracks and cracks, level the entire surface, lay the waterproofing material, then the mats of the izorok, which should be located end-to-end, thus so that there are not even minimal gaps between them. Then the waterproofing layer is again laid, and a reinforcing mesh is placed on it, onto which the cement screed is poured.

If under the screed there is a room in which it is warm and humid, for example, a sauna, then there is a need for additional vapor barrier, which in this case is located under the sheets of insulation. If at the bottom there is a cold and damp room such as a cellar, then the vapor barrier is located on top of the insulation.

Izorokom insulation of outer walls of frame structures

In wall structures of this type, slabs have proven themselves in the best possible way.Insulation is of the highest quality when it is made with two layers of material.
A crate is mounted on the walls from wooden slats 5 cm wide (by the thickness of the mats) or a metal profile. The distance between them is equal to the length or width of the insulation.
Laying is carried out in such a way that the slabs located outside overlap the seams of the layer of material located inside. The sheet is fixed with self-tapping screws of fungi at 5 points.

The outer layer of insulation must be protected by a wind and waterproofing film.

Insulation by Izoroki of the walls of frame structures from the inside

As a rule, even at the stage of building the frame, the distance between the wooden posts is set equal to the width of the insulation, that is, 60 cm.
Therefore, there is no need to make a crate, a piece is simply placed in 3 layers (15 cm) in these niches and is not attached in any way. On top, it is fixed with a vapor barrier film, which is strongly stretched.

Although it is said about the environmental friendliness of the material, when mineral wool particles get on the skin, severe itching begins, which cannot be washed off within a day. Therefore, it is important to wear personal protective equipment and wear rubberized gloves.

Dry method of floor insulation Izorokom

The floor is insulated according to the following scheme:

a layer of waterproofing is laid on the already existing wooden floor with tightly laid boards. Logs are laid on top of the boards, in the intervals of which insulation is placed close to them. It is necessary to do this at a distance so that there are no gaps and gaps;
the next layer is vapor barrier. Its presence prevents the penetration of moisture from a warm room into the cold insulation layer. This must be done in order to protect the insulation from moisture, since it is moistened, it loses its original thermal insulation properties;
further along the logs, a rough floor is laid. It can be plywood, OSB, etc. A topcoat is placed on top of this material. It can be laminated or any other coating the homeowner wants.

Insulation of interfloor ceilings Izorokom

Mineral slabs can be used to insulate interfloor wooden floors. For this purpose, they are laid between the beams.
It is not necessary to place a layer of protective vapor barrier for insulation between rooms of different levels, but with the same temperature in them.

If one of the rooms is warm, and the second is humid, for example, a bathroom or kitchen, vapor barrier is simply necessary. If the damp room is located at the top, then a layer of waterproofing is required.
From the side of the second floor, the sequence of the arrangement of materials looks like this: floor covering, logs, if necessary, a layer of hydro or vapor barrier, insulation between the beams, if necessary - a layer of vapor barrier, boarding, ceiling finishing.

Insulation of flat roofs by Izorokom

Isorok with high density can be used to insulate a flat roof. The base on which the insulation will be mounted is reinforced concrete floor slabs or profiled metal sheets.
First you need to install a vapor barrier layer. It is necessary here in order to prevent the penetration of moisture vapors into the layers of thermal insulation. After all, only dry insulation can retain its properties, and wet insulation significantly reduces its characteristics. A large accumulation of steam causes unwanted deformation of the slabs. It is advisable to perform vapor barrier with fewer seams and select thicker membranes in order to provide the highest quality protection.
The edges of the film must be installed above the insulation, in order to exclude the penetration of steam into it. With multilayer insulation, the joints of the slabs are positioned with a slight offset. The upper layer should be superior in density to the lower one.
Waterproofing is applied last. For the safety of the material, it is advisable not to walk on it.

Insulation with Izorok slabs of pitched roofs

The first step in insulating pitched roofs is to install a waterproofing film, which is carried out over the rafter system. The material is laid across the slope with an overlap, so that the upper ones are layered on the lower ones. Individual canvases are connected with self-adhesive tape.
From above, counter-lattice bars are stuffed, which provide the necessary in this case a small ventilation gap that will pass between the roofing and the future layer of insulation.

Izorok is installed between two rafters of a rafter. This is done to securely fix the elements and to ensure the best thermal insulation results. It is necessary to prevent ruptures of the thermal insulation layer or its loose abutment to the rafters. Insulation izorok over the entire surface should be the same.
The next stage is the installation of a vapor barrier. The material is fixed with brackets on the inside of the rafters. The strips are overlapped. The joints are secured with self-adhesive tapes. The last is the installation of the ceiling sheathing. A roof covering is installed on the outside of the roof.

Insulation of a wet facade with Izorokom

The external method of insulating buildings is more preferable as the most effective in terms of thermal insulation of buildings. If you can choose between internal and external, it is recommended to choose it.
You need to start work with surface preparation. It must be cleaned of all existing contaminants, and cracks must be repaired, if any. If there are irregularities, level them. Prime the dried finished surface.

The next stage is the installation of a profile strip along the perimeter of the building. It is mounted at a height of about half a meter from the ground level. The bar is needed to distribute the uniform load emanating from the insulation boards. Plates are installed on it, which are attached to the base using a dowel of nails with a wide head. Insulation is arranged in rows, starting from the basement profile.

Next is the reinforcing mesh, which is attached to a special adhesive composition. At first, slopes, corners, etc. are strengthened. After installing the mesh, you can start applying plaster layers according to all the rules necessary for carrying out such work.

Ventilated facade with Izorok

Mineral wool slabs are also used in ventilated facade systems. This is another option for high-quality external thermal insulation of buildings. The system itself lies in the fact that between the layer of insulation, which is attached to the wall and the decorative facing layer, there is an air layer. It is needed for the free outflow of moisture from the insulation layers. On the other hand, moisture that penetrates under the cladding cannot reach the thermal insulation material, since the air serves as a barrier. Another advantage of this method is that all work is performed at any temperature.
The installation of the insulation is carried out in the same way as the installation of the heat-insulating layer, which is typical for the wet method. The only difference is that after installing the slabs, the frame of the ventilated facade is mounted on top.

The question of installing a steam and wind protection film remains open. Opinions differ here. To install it or not, it is worth focusing on the installation technology provided for slabs and facade systems and the recommendations of manufacturers and specialists.

Izorok mineral slabs are reliable and high quality material. A large selection of products with different indicators and technical characteristics makes it possible to successfully use it in a variety of areas of construction work. This is an easy-to-use and affordable material that will be appreciated by both professionals and people who conduct construction on their own. In addition, in recent years, Izorok's products have received extremely positive reviews.
