Isover products for ventilated facades: materials and their characteristics

Isover mineral wool is a product of one of the world's leading manufacturers of basalt plates and other mineral wool insulation and fiberglass heat insulating materials. Insulators of this brand have proven to be products that differ in the optimal combination of price, quality and excellent performance characteristics.

Thermal insulation materials produced by the French company Saint-Gobain, in addition to excellent insulating functions, also have very significant noise absorbing abilities, which significantly expands the scope of their application.

According to consumer reviews, Isover insulating materials in practical terms show themselves better than similar products manufactured by other competing manufacturers.

Mineral cotton insulation brand Isover allow heat insulation of any surface. The company manufactures products that make it possible to insulate both the internal and external surfaces of the walls, to insulate the attic floors, and the pitched and straight roof ceilings.

Significant advantages of insulating mineral wool plates of the French brand are such characteristics as mechanical flexibility, resistance to deformation effects and resistance to tearing. This makes it possible to apply them on structures of complex geometric profiles such as pipes, industrial equipment, structural elements of production lines, and others.

This brand produces a very wide range of mineral wool insulation, differing from each other in functionality. The company's products are divided into two categories. The first includes insulants intended for industrial use, and the second one includes mineral wool stoves for domestic use, including those that can be laid indoors.

For ventilated facades, you can select the brand of insulation called Isover "Venti". It is a plate mineral wool insulation with very solid technical characteristics., significantly exceeding such indicators for ordinary minwats. So, the density of "Venti" is equal to 88 kg / m3, and its compressive strength is 20 kPa with a value of perpendicular tension equal to 4 kPa.

The heat-insulating coefficient of this material has an index of about 0.035 W / micron, and the degree of its vapor permeability is 0.3 mg / MPa.When immersed in water for a day, the degree of water absorption of this material does not exceed 1% of its total mass. It belongs to the fire resistance class of NG.

It belongs to the class of heat-insulating, sound-absorbing materials, fiberglass-based, designed to create the main heat-insulating layer for single-layer insulation. The device ventilated facades in buildings on the basis of this material is carried out without limiting them in height.

The form of production of this brand are plates, convenient for installation. Their thickness is 50 and 100 mm with a total sheet size of 1190 mm × 1380 mm.

VentFasad Mono slabs have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity and a high degree of breathability, that is, they are breathable material. However, a high level of their density allows to avoid heat loss due to convective heat exchange.

This material is completely non-flammable, chemically neutral, does not decompose under the influence of biological factors, is resistant to the effects of fungus and mold, does not contain compounds harmful to humans. At the same time, this material does not shrink due to its high elasticity, retaining its original volume throughout the entire period of operation.

The next type of Isover products are the heat insulating elements “VentFasad Niz”. They are intended for use as an inner layer of insulation and are used only for laying two-layer insulating insulation material. The basis of such plates is fiberglass. Due to their production from natural natural components such as sand, soda and limestone, the content of synthetic binder in them is minimal.

These plates belong to the type of "mono", and they are not required greater rigidity and density, because they essentially serve to fill the cavity under the outer layer, which, in fact, performs the function of heat preservation. This non-flammable heat-insulating material is characterized by increased elasticity and elasticity, so that air pockets do not appear in its volume.

For these plates, their use as a single-layer thermal insulation included in the ventilated facade systems with an air gap on the balconies and loggias and externalframe walls. The material fits snugly to the base and can be attached to it with one dowel.

It can be compressed to compress several times, which gives a high degree of loading of the vehicle by it, increasing labor productivity during loading and unloading operations and saving warehouse space.

Insulation differs from the previous product in that it is represented by an external insulation layer and is intended directly for a two-layer type of insulation.

This product has a relatively small permeability coefficient for air flow and heat energy, which guarantees the effectiveness and stability of protection against heat loss from the room.

According to factory standards, this material belongs to the “NG” group, that is, it belongs to a type of non-combustible materials. It is possible to order, in some cases it should be attributed to the group of flammability "G1".

With a thickness of 30 mm, its dimensions are 1380 × 1190 mm.
