Izospan FB: properties and applications

During repair or construction work in the bath, care must be taken to preserve the walls, the floor, the ceiling. In the absence of certain coatings due to high humidity, the interior of the room may become damp or moldy, which will significantly reduce the operating life of the steam. Izospan FB is a necessary waterproofing material that reflects steam. It has unique properties and high technical characteristics, which are absent from analogs.

This material is Kraft paper coating, having a lamination in the form of metallized lavsan. The special structure of Izospan FB gives it special properties that contribute to vapor barrier and the reflection of radiant energy.The product is quite durable, durable and has a long service life. The great advantage of Izospan is its ecological purity, it does not release toxic substances into the air and is completely safe for human health.

The bio-resistance of the material prevents it from being eaten by rodents and insects, and is also another obstacle to the appearance of fungus and mold.

These products are used to create a vapor barrier in baths, saunas and other rooms with high levels of humidity and temperature. In construction Izospan FB is used for vapor barrier walls, roofs, interfloor partitions and internal ceilings with built-in insulants inside the structures. The reflective properties of the material reach 95% efficiency and help reduce heat loss through the roof and walls.

Surfaces coated with metallized lavsan allow you to keep steam inside the bath longer and prevent dampening of the room, which can occur at constant changes in humidity and temperature levels. Izospan FB has the optimal composition and structure for use in baths and steam rooms, where the level of dry steam reaches up to +110 degrees.

The width of one product is 1.2 meters, it is sold rolled up into a roll, the length of which is 35 meters. Izospan FB has a 95% coefficient of thermal reflection, which means almost complete vapor barrier construction. The material is completely moisture resistant and waterproof, and also withstands temperature levels from -60 to +130 degrees.

Professional masters are already well acquainted with the installation process of Izospan FB and the subtleties of its installation. To facilitate independent work, it is worth adhering to a few useful tips on repair work with this material.

• The product is mounted from the inside of the insulation directly under the distillation or panel. The metallized side must be on the outside. Between it and the interior trim design is mandatory to leave space for a gap of five centimeters. This is necessary to create ventilation and heat reflection.

• Products should be mounted horizontally, using wooden rails. Butt overlaps must be at least 15 centimeters both horizontally and vertically. To ensure additional tightness it is recommended to glue the seams with a special tape that can withstand temperatures up to +115 degrees.

Despite the not very wide scope of use of Izospan FB, it is the best-selling product of the brand-manufacturer "Hex". The democratic price of the product makes it even more attractive in the eyes of potential buyers.

In the network you can find a fairly large number of positive reviews about this product. FB Izospan attracts masters and owners of steam rooms not only with a pleasant price, but also with good technical characteristics that ensure heat preservation for a long time and completely vaporize the structure. There is also a convenient product packaging.

Another advantage is the environmental friendliness of the material and its biostability, these properties additionally prolong the service life of Izospan FB and do not harm human health and the environment.

Among the minuses, some users note the easy inflammability of the material. FB Izospan is fire safe, as it flares up very easily and continues to burn. In case of a dangerous situation, it can cause a fire to intensify. Another disadvantage buyers consider the lack of complete reliable information on the packaging. Izospan FB is a metallized lavsan, many mistakenly think that it is covered with foil, which does not burn, unlike lavsan.
