Today Izorok Company is one of the leading manufacturers of basalt watts designed for building insulation. The popularity of the materials of this company is due to their truly remarkable performance.
history of the company
The Izorok enterprise was formed recently - in 2000. In order to start production of new generation heaters, his management had to reconstruct the old Tambov plant. Insulation materials at this enterprise were produced before. Their release began in 1982. During the reconstruction, German technologies were used, as well as equipment of the famous Swedish company Ungers. This made it possible to start producing much better materials.
And today the company uses only innovative equipment, as well as the highest quality and at the same time safe materials. This is precisely what has become the main reason for the more than successful competition of insulators of this brand with other products, including many well-known foreign companies.
The use of insulation "Izorok"
The scope of materials of this brand is unusually wide. "Izorok" - insulation, which is most often used to isolate building envelopes from the cold. In addition, they are used in the assembly of pipelines, as well as in the construction of industrial facilities. The use of these heat insulators allows not only to increase the thermal properties of structural elements, but also to solve noise insulation issues, reduce fire hazard and reduce the load on the foundation.
Especially popular among developers are lightweight options - insulation "Izorok" 75 and 50 (density). They are often used to insulate the walls of low-rise buildings.
In private households "Izorok" can be used to warm not only the walls, floor, roofs and ceiling of a house. It is also used for isolation:
- Cellars and cellars.
- Doors and garage doors.
- Balconies and loggias.
Thermal insulation of a house and various constructions with the help of this material is a simple and effective procedure.
How are insulation "Izorok" made?
The main raw material for the insulators of this brand is the basalt type of rocks. The manufacturing process includes the following steps:
- Preparation of raw materials and additives before melting.
- Actually the melting itself. It is produced at a temperature of 1500 about C.
- The placement of molten rock in a centrifuge, in which it is drawn into fibers.
- Further, basaltic "threads" are blown into a special fiber deposition chamber. Here dedusting and hydrophobizing additives are mixed with them.
- Then the fibers enter the pendulum stacker, where they are distributed and intertwined in the form of a carpet.
- Then, the resulting web is prepressed.
- Next, polymerization is carried out in a heat treatment chamber.
- After that, the carpet is cut into slabs or mats.
- At the final stage, the material is packaged in shrink film.
The main advantages of materials
"Izorok" - a heater, the main advantages of which include:
- Ecological cleanliness. The materials of this brand are absolutely safe for human health and non-toxic.
- Durability. With proper installation, you will not have to change the insulation throughout the life of the building.
- Low degree of thermal conductivity. The use of Izorok materials can reduce heating costs by at least 20%.
- Universality. You can use a heat insulator of this brand to protect both walls and the floor, ceiling, roof, etc.
- Excellent soundproof qualities. Therefore, it is advisable to use it for insulation, including walling in urban buildings. For example, for covering balconies.
- Excellent compressibility. Due to this feature, the material takes up very little space in the warehouse.
- Light weight. Transporting mats and Izorok boards is very easy.
- Easy installation. Even one person can carry out work on the insulation of building envelopes with this type of insulation.
Material Reviews
"Izorok" is a heater, the opinions of which are mostly positive among consumers. The possibility of using it to warm the enclosing structures of buildings with increased fire hazard is noted. "Isorok" is completely incombustible. In addition, the materials of this brand have earned positive reviews due to their strength. It is impossible to tear such sheets and plates during installation.
“Izorok”, reviews of which are for the most part very good, is distinguished by one more advantage. Consumers like the lack of shrinkage of this material. This quality is far from all domestic basalt wools. Therefore, slabs of this brand are very often used in the construction of frame houses. By installing them between the racks, you don’t have to worry about the fact that over time the walls will begin to cut through due to the cracks that have appeared.
Well, of course, perhaps the most important reason for the huge popularity of Izorok materials among developers, reviews of which allow us to judge them as very high-quality, is the opportunity to save by buying excellent insulation at a low price.
Mineral wool "Izorok": varieties of plates
Currently, this company produces materials such as mineral wool boards (excellent thermal insulation for walls), cylinders, half-cylinders (for pipes), mats, as well as sandwich panels. All of these varieties, as already mentioned, are simply superior in performance. Mineral wool plates, among other things, can vary in density. The most loose material is considered a variety of P-75. These plates are not recommended for insulation of structures in the event that they will be subjected to any serious load during operation. The most dense is the material marked P-125.
In addition, this company produces the following types of plates:
- Isoflor. Designed for floor insulation.
- Isofas. These plates are used for warming “wet” facades.
- Isoruf. Best suited for roof insulation.
- Izovent. This is a wonderful thermal insulation for walls, used mainly for the installation of ventilated facades.
- Isocor. Sandwich panels are made from this insulation.
Mats "Izorok"
This variety of products from this manufacturer is marked MP. In the event that a shell made of fiberglass was used in the manufacture of the mats, two more are added to these letters - ST. Next are the numbers that correspond to the density of the material. In stores, mats are delivered in rolls. They are also used mainly to perform such an operation as thermal insulation of a house (mostly horizontal surfaces without subsequent load). They are also used to protect roofs, pipelines and technological equipment from the cold.
Cylinders and half cylinders
Insulation "Izorok" of this variety is intended primarily for insulation of pipelines with hot and cold water, as well as heating systems. The diameter of the manufactured cylinders ranges from 18 to 273 mm.
Basic rules for the installation of materials "Izorok"
When installing plates and mats of this brand, the following rules must be observed:
- It is best to mount the material in several layers. This will prevent the appearance of the so-called "cold bridges." For quality insulation, according to the norms of SNiP, the thickness of the material should be at least 150-200 mm. The manufacturer recommends using the Izorok 50 lightweight insulation spring from one edge the first layer in two-layer insulation.
- From the side of the room, the insulating material must be protected by a vapor barrier film. From the side of the street - waterproofing or windproof.
- Between the heat insulator and the fine finish, a ventilation gap must be made.
- On vertical and inclined planes, mats should be additionally fixed with dowels - “fungi”. The same applies to the material used to insulate the ceiling.
- Insulation should be installed around the perimeter of the building or roof to create a continuous insulation loop.
- Before installation, be sure to read the instructions for use. Following her will avoid unnecessary mistakes.
Insulation "Izorok": characteristics
Currently, Izorok produces more than 20 varieties of plates and mats. Of course, all these materials differ in different technical characteristics. So:
- Density can vary from 40 to 150 kg / m 3 .
- The breaking strength of shreds is 3-15 kPa.
- The compressive strength can reach 10-55 kPa.
- The degree of thermal conductivity of materials is usually 0.033-0.007 watts.
- The degree of water absorption is 1-5%.
Other company materials
"Izorok" is a high-quality insulation, but not the only material produced by this company. In addition to it, the company produces:
- Waterproofing membranes.
- Vapor barrier membranes.
- Adhesive tape intended for fixing these films.
Of course, these materials also differ simply in excellent quality and at the same time not too high cost.
Cost of insulation
Insulation "Izorok", the characteristics of which make it possible to judge it as a very high-quality material, and is not particularly expensive. Depending on the variety, the price of Izorok can fluctuate between 1,500-6,000 rubles per 1 m 3 . As you can see, you will have to pay more for this material than for polystyrene. Moreover, the price is comparable to the cost of polystyrene foam. However, it is worth noting that the latter are significantly inferior in terms of vapor permeability, fire safety and the level of thermal conductivity of Izorok insulation.
Insulation "Izorok", the price of which is not too high, can be bought from dealers of the company in a particular region.
As you can see, “Izorok” heaters are reliable, durable materials that have very good performance characteristics. It is definitely worth buying mats or plates of this brand for warming a country house.
