One of the most high-quality mineral plates that can be used as a good sound insulator is the Rock Butol product of the Flor Butts brand. Unique qualities and low heat-conducting index make it possible to use it as an effective insulation.

The material of the Rockwool company "Flor Butts" is designed for the floor ("floor" in English means "floor"). It is a plate that can be used for the following types of structures:

• dry screed;
• wet screed;

Many modern apartments for rent in the property without proper noise isolation. The constant impact of extraneous noise is a huge stress for a person and negatively affects their well-being. In the presence of constant exposure to unnecessary sounds, a person fails to properly relax and unwind in his spare time. You can immediately forget about peace in such rooms.

Rockwool Basalt wool produced by Flor Butts is produced in two versions.These can be flor batts with a thickness of 25 mm and 50 mm. Or it is a special type of "Flor Butts I", which has a thickness of 25 mm. These options have approximately the same shape and are similar in size. Their sides are 1000x600x25 mm. Such sizes are considered the most optimal for insulation. They are convenient during transportation and installation.

These mineral wool types of insulation have their own characteristics.

• The material has a high density, which is 125 kg per cubic meter.
• The coefficient of thermal conductivity is characterized by an indicator of 0.04 W / mK.
• In terms of moisture absorption characteristics, the material has an index of 1 kg / m2.
• It is worth noting the low level of flammability of the material, which increases fire safety.

A special feature of Flor Butts is its high flexibility. It will lie flat on the floor with no noticeable protrusions, taking its shape. This is convenient, because there is no need to carry out additional work to eliminate the defects of the floor surface.

Insulation brand has several disadvantages.These include insufficient moisture resistance of the product, which is why it is not recommended to use it in damp rooms. This may cause a reduction in its service life. The material has a tendency to caking over time if it has a constant load. Uneven subsidence can be noticeable.

When installing it is worth considering that it has a tendency to release harmful microparticles.

Virtually any material for insulation is composed of particles of fiberglass. Skin contact may cause irritation. This factor complicates the installation of the material.

• To start it is recommended to prepare a floor covering. It is necessary to remove the old materials of the floor finish, as well as to clean the floor from dirt and dust. If you do not remove the old material, over time it can flake off. If there are significant defects due to which further floor finishing is not possible, they must be repaired. Usually these are obvious potholes and chips, which are masked by a special compound.

• Then you need primer the surface. This process allows for uniformity of the base.When choosing a soil with greater penetrating power and viscosity, dust particles and microcracks can be connected. Especially necessary priming for walls erected in violation of technology, as can be seen from their shedding. The primer should be completely dry for further work. If the floor is already treated with soil, it is necessary to fill it with a layer of sand.

• Then you can proceed directly to the installation insulation. To do this, set the floor lags. Make it so that between the plates did not arise large gaps. This quality can affect the insulation and sound insulation of the surface. After that, it is necessary to lay the floor between the laid out bars using a film of polyethylene. It is recommended to cover it with several layers.
• Then it is necessary to secure the foil to the lags. This is done using a construction stapler and special brackets. Only after these works can a layer of insulation be laid on the film.
• After laying the plates, it is recommended to cover them again with a layer of polyethylene film.
• Then on the surface of the insulation can be laid incomplete coverage (often used for this plywood).

Step by step instructions are not so complicated.If you follow its points, you can independently carry out the installation of insulation "Flor Butts" without much effort and time. You do not have to resort to the assistance of a specialist. And this will save the budget.
