A large number of heaters are presented on the building materials market. They differ in operational characteristics, installation method and price. One of the popular building materials is insulation "Technonikol." Characteristics , features and varieties of the products presented must be considered before starting repair work.
Main characteristics
Considering the characteristics of the Technonikol insulation, it is necessary to say a few words about the manufacturer. This domestic company appeared on the market in the early 90s of the last century. During its existence, it has evolved from a small organization into a large manufacturer. Today the Technonikol company is one of the five largest European manufacturers of insulation.
The presented organization owns several large brands. Its products are quite diverse. In addition to thermal insulation, Technonikol also produces roofing material, tiles, as well as polymer membranes for roofing. Mastics and primers are in demand.
Thermal insulation materials that Technonikol supplies to the construction market can be divided into two categories. The first includes polystyrene foam panels. It is created by extrusion. The second type of thermal insulation of the brand is mineral wool. It is created from basalt fibers. It is also made in the form of plates.
Mineral wool
Considering the characteristics of the Technonikol basalt insulation, its special properties should be noted. The material presented is a structure of thin fibers and air. Material is created from rocks. Between the fibers, extensive layers of air are defined. This allows the material to demonstrate high thermal insulation performance during operation.
High performance basalt wool from Teplonikol demonstrates not only in frost, but also in heat. It is a fire-resistant material that does not burn even at a temperature of 1000 º. If a fire occurs, the material will not even melt. This feature allows you to avoid the destruction of the building in a fire.
Mineral wool slabs are classified as environmentally friendly materials. They do not start a fungus, harmful bacteria. Rodents also cannot ruin the finish. During operation, basalt fiber does not emit substances harmful to humans and the environment. Even at elevated temperatures, basalt wool remains completely safe.
Varieties of mineral slabs
There are several popular varieties of thermal insulation from basalt fiber. They differ in a number of parameters. Such materials as Teploroll, Tekhnoblok, Tekhnoakustik and Rocklight are popular. Characteristics of the Technonikol basalt insulation allow you to choose the best option for almost all operating conditions.
Heater "Teploroll" is a long mat, which is sold in a roll. The structure of Rocklight includes resin. They determine the low phenol content. This is one of the most popular materials that is used when warming private houses.
"Technoblock" can also be used as thermal insulation in the arrangement of frame houses. The material contains a low phenol content. “Thermoacoustic” is not only distinguished by its thermal insulation qualities. It is able to reduce the noise level that enters the room from the external environment. This is made possible by the special arrangement of the fibers.
Rockwool mineral wool
One of the company's most frequently purchased materials is Rocklight. It is produced using new technologies. This is a durable, environmentally friendly, high-quality material, which has a number of special characteristics. Heater "TechnoNikol Rocklight" 1200x600x50, 1200x600x100 is characterized by low thermal conductivity.
This is a fairly durable material. It has a density of 35 kg / m³. It does not burn, does not harm the environment and human health. When mounted, the material does not emit basalt dust, which can be hazardous to the health of installers. This is one of the main advantages of Rocklight from analogue products of competitors.
Basalt cotton wool of this category is distinguished by good soundproof performance. The presented material is intended for insulation of facades of various types. It can be used both for exterior and indoor decoration. Slabs with a thickness of 5 cm can be purchased at a price of 170 rubles / m². If the thickness of the mat is 10 cm, the cost will be about 250 rubles / m².
Heater "Technolight"
It should be noted that the Rocklight is not suitable for all buildings. The size of the TechnoNIKOL insulation material 1200x600x50, the characteristics of which were given above, do not allow it to be mounted on facilities with increased fire hazard. For such buildings, it is recommended to purchase a Technolight insulation. This material can withstand temperatures up to 1000 º.
Also, the strength of the material presented will be higher than that of Rocklight. "Technolight" is intended for warming brick houses. This cotton wool is also suitable for wooden structures. This basalt cotton wool can be used for roof sheathing with slopes.
This insulation is characterized by ease of installation. It can be easily cut with a saw or knife. The cost of packaging reaches 900 rubles. for 6 m². The density of this material is inferior to Rocklight. The thermal conductivity of "Technolight" is less. This is a high-quality insulation in the market of building materials.
Heater "Tekhnoakustik"
According to the reviews of professional masters, the characteristics of the Technonikol insulation meet all construction requirements. For each type of installation it is necessary to purchase a suitable variety of materials. So, for interior decoration with insulation it is recommended to purchase Tekhnoakustik mineral wool.
This material is capable of delaying noise up to 60 dB. In addition to good soundproofing qualities, the presented material is known for its moisture resistance. Thanks to this indicator, it can be used for wall insulation indoors. Also, this basalt fiber does not burn. The structure of the cotton fibers is special.
The presented material is perfect for finishing partitions, ceilings, suspended ceilings. However, this variant of mineral wool should not be used for objects subject to heavy loads. The cost of the material presented is quite high. It is 1800 rubles / m².
Extruded Styrofoam
Studying the characteristics and application of the Technonikol insulation, attention must be paid to another variety of materials. These are plates of extruded polystyrene foam. It is also used as insulation for various buildings. Expanded polystyrene is characterized by high thermal insulation performance.
The presented category of insulation materials is lightweight. In terms of thermal conductivity, polystyrene foam 1 cm thick corresponds to a wood massif 10 cm thick. At the same time, artificial insulation is several times cheaper.
It is very simple to transport expanded polystyrene to an object. Also, the installation process does not require much effort and time. This is hard enough material. The disadvantage of polystyrene boards is their low fire resistance. It can burn. At the same time, polystyrene foam emits harmful substances into the environment.
Types of expanded polystyrene
The characteristics of the Technonikol insulation must be considered before purchase. In the group of thermal insulation made of expanded polystyrene, several popular varieties of plates are distinguished.
For low-rise cottages and private houses, Carbon ECO can be used as insulation. To warm the foundation or roof, Carbon ECO Drain is used. It has drainage grooves. When arranging the roof, they will contribute to high-quality ventilation, and when warming the facades, this feature will subsequently allow rainwater to be diverted.
For plastered surfaces of facades Carbon ECO FAS can be used. Its outer surface is treated in a special way. This increases the adhesion of the insulation with facade materials. There are many varieties of Technonikol polystyrene boards. Everyone will be able to choose the best option for themselves.
