Izospan SL: types and subtleties of application

In the process of construction and repair work, gluing of horizontal and vertical joints of film materials in roofs and walls is often required. In this case, butyl rubber connecting tape Izospan SL comes to the rescue.

Comfort and comfort in any room depend on many factors, and one of the most important is to protect the house from moisture. Waterproofing protects all elements of the structure from the negative influence of precipitation: rain, snow, as well as condensate and steam. Materials for the roof and walls alone can not fully protect the house from getting wet. So that the insulation is not spoiled by moisture, Izospan vapor barrier is used.

It is made of synthetic polypropylene, has a very high degree of resistance to moisture, and this provides excellent protection of the insulation layer from getting wet. The use of vapor barrier is mandatory when installing the roof, attic, garage, to protect the insulation of the roof.

For gluing the joints of the film materials vertically and horizontally, on the walls and roofs, use a connection tape Izospan SL. The tape Izospan SL gives to joints vapor - and moisture-proof properties.

• Izospan SL 15 mm 45 rm m - double-sided butyl rubber adhesive tape. It is intended for connection between the canvases of vapor barrier Izospan, for sealing in those places the two parts of the canvases where they overlap.Creates integral hermetic protection in frame walls or roofs. Perfectly protects the material from condensation at the joints of insulation sheets. This connecting tape withstands frost well, perfectly tolerating temperatures from minus 45 to plus 85 degrees.

• Izospan SL proff - sealing tape for joining steam- and waterproofing sheets Izospan, has increased durability and strength. Seals between each other overlaps Izzospan canvases (except for heat reflecting FD, FS, FB). It is resistant to UV irradiation, and good heat resistance makes it possible to successfully apply this tape when working outside: when sealing hydro, windproof in places of junction to wood, stone, metal (can be used both from cold and from warm side of structure) sealing in places of overlap Izospan cloths (including waterproofing repair).

Advantages of using the tape Izospan SL:

• tolerates very strong heat and frost;
• serves up to 50 years;
• inexpensive;
• adheres well to metal, concrete and brick.

In order to obtain a quality connection, the manufacturer recommends placing a rail for the support under the material in the places of bonding of the Izospan film under the material.When it is necessary to glue the joints of materials from the film in the walls and roofs, SL Izospan tape needs to be glued to the edge of the bottom edge of the cloth so that the release paper is pointing up (you need to roll the tape, pressing it easily, at a certain distance from the edge of the canvas). As required by the rule of application of the film, it is necessary to lay and roll the sheet on top with an overlap. The release paper is removed and the webs must be pressed against each other.

Sticking tape:

• one turn of release paper is removed from the roll, thereby exposing a layer of sealant around the entire circumference;
• a roll is installed on the material and the tape is rolled out, the sealant is gently pressed into the material at the required distance from the edge of the web.

Installation is best done on a dry and clean surface, temperature and humidity should be indoor.

You will learn more about how to make a proper installation of Izospan by watching the following video.

Tape Izospan SL perfectly performs its function of complete sealing of places with overlap of the applied material (usually the distance is fifteen to twenty centimeters).The result will be a single hermetic layer that separates parts of the structure that have different levels of humidity.

The main advantages of waterproofing Izospan SL:

• environmental friendliness;
• duration of use;
• good vapor permeability;
• good hydrophobicity;
• manufacturability;
• resistance to low temperatures, their drop;
• UV stability;
• high level adhesion;
• ease of use.

During the entire operational period, all sealing properties of the tape are retained. She is not afraid of any atmospheric effects, the sun or frost. The tape has a high resistance to the negative effects of chemicals, as a result, this film is indispensable during most types of repair work.

When improving attic mansard insulation, the butyl rubber tape Izospan SL effectively seals the connection points of the insulation films Izospan with furnaces and chimneys, dormer windows, ventilation systems). Scotch Izospan SL is used for sealing at the junction of the vapor barrier to the fencing structures, for example, sealing vapor barrier at the joints, on the ceiling with the walls of the room in the construction of the attic insulation.

The tape Izospan SL is intended for:

• attic roof insulation;
• sealing in places of a junction of films to ventilating systems, pipes, windows, furnace pipes;
• gluing film webs Izospan;
• improvement of all moisture and vapor barrier properties at the joints;
• sealing in the joints of the walls and ceiling vapor barrier in the construction of floors in the attic.

The tape Izospan SL is effectively used in various designs for sealing those areas where special insulating membranes of Izospan adjoin various penetrating and enclosing structures.

When using films from polypropylene it is impossible to do without the tape SL. It simplifies the work several times, with its help you can achieve 100% sealing. The result: a reduction in all energy costs.

This is especially noticeable and relevant for Russia in the winter.

The feedback on this type of insulation is mostly positive. This material is excellent for steam and waterproofing.
