Izospan FS: Properties and Applications

Izospan FS is a film made of two materials (cloths of propylene and metallized film), which is used as a insulation or sealing layer. This article will tell in detail about its properties and methods of fastening.

With its unique abilities, FS izospan is obliged to impermeability of the materials from which it is made, and the ability to reflect infrared radiation.

This film is made from environmentally friendly materials, it does not pose a danger to children and animals. The coating does not react with aggressive chemical compounds, it is not subject to strong influence of temperature difference. The range of acceptable temperatures for izospan FS: from -60 to +80.

In addition to all this, the reflective film has some other advantages.

Is a moisture insulating and vapor barrier layer that prevents the occurrence of fungus and prevents the formation of rusttherefore it is often used for lining the internal structure of walls, where the presence of a fungus is especially critical.

The reflective surface of the film is capable of retaining up to 90% of the heat of the room. In a living room, this can help reduce heating costs and make it more suitable for winter use. It tolerates any weather conditions and precipitation. This aspect is very important for covering those rooms and houses that will be in extreme weather conditions such as frequent and severe frosts or constant humidity. And that, and another izospan FS endures.

The first question that arises for newbies is which side to fix the izospan FS. Answering this question, it is important to remember that the role of an insulating material is performed by a surface with a metallic coating; therefore, the film should be fixed with the shiny side towards the inside of the room.Otherwise, its installation is similar to the installation of other cladding materials.

General instructions for use and installation of izospan FS is quite simple - you need to attach the film on the right side of the insulation, if necessary, install a reinforcement cage of wooden or metal slats. In special cases, that is, if necessary, two layers can be attached on top of the moisture protection or on both sides of the insulation.

The film is laid horizontally without overlaps. Leave a gap between the FS izospan layer and the finishing material. This will create a heat retention effect. The joints between the cover panels should not exceed 15 cm.

Sometimes isospan FS is used as a reflective screen for the heating system.

As a rule, an instruction is attached to each product, which requires explanations of certain features of the film.

The first thing that consumers notice is the dependence of price on the quantity purchased. As a rule, izospan FS is sold in rolls of 70 meters, which is wholesale. On the one hand, this amount can be used to warm the surface of a room of medium size, but on the other hand, if you buy a smaller amount than one roll, you risk to overpay.

Buyers also note that in addition to high-quality coating, you need to purchase high-quality sealing tape.

The practice of self-wall cladding with isospan FS is quite common.

Among domestic consumers, such films are used in attics and country houses. In apartment-type dwellings such coatings are actively used for floor insulation.
