The right choice of thermal insulation acts as one of the main tasks in building a house, because the comfort of living in it depends on this. When solving this issue, it makes absolutely no difference whether the building will be used all year round or only in a certain period. That is why it is necessary to approach the issue of its insulation with a high degree of responsibility, since thermal insulation protects the interior of the house from the cold in winter, while in summer it eliminates the rapid heating of air in the building. This is especially true when work is carried out without professional support.
For high-quality thermal insulation, special attention must be paid to the characteristics of the material. In the role of one of the common solutions is mineral wool. It is selected taking into account the thickness. It is this parameter and chemical composition that determine the main properties, among them it is necessary to highlight incombustibility and wear resistance.
Quite an important factor is the fact that products from mineral wool are able to withstand the spread of flame. These materials are used for insulation, but also for fire protection, as well as fire insulation. The resistance to high temperature depends on the thickness of mineral wool .
Insulation fibers are able to undergo more than 1000 ° C. As for organic compounds, they begin to degrade from 250 ° C. When mineral fibers are exposed to high temperatures, they remain bound together and are not damaged.
The material is able to protect from fire and maintain pristine strength. The greater the thickness of the mineral wool, the more resistant the material will be to high temperature. If you familiarize yourself with sanitary norms and rules, you can understand that for the facades of the Moscow Region and Moscow, you should use insulation, the thickness of which varies from 120 to 140 mm.
It is important to pay attention also to the fact that quite often the insulation is produced with a certain thickness, which is a multiple of 50 mm. This indicates that 150 mm will be enough to warm houses in the central region of the Russian Federation. When thermal insulation of the upper floors of houses that are built in the Moscow region, a heater should be used, the thickness of which reaches 200 mm.
Thickness of Izover cotton wool
If you cannot determine the thickness of the mineral wool, pay attention to the Izover products. It is offered for sale in several varieties, which are classified into plates and mats. For example, for thermal insulation of frame structures, you can use “Frame-P32”, P34, P37 P40, P40-AL, “Soundproofing” and “Floating floor”, as well as “Sloping roof”.
As for the P32 plate, it is represented by a material whose thickness varies from 40 to 150 mm. P34, P37 have a more impressive thickness. Plates of this material are limited by parameters from 40 to 200 mm. But the mats P40, P40-AL have a smaller run in thickness - 50-200 mm. For soundproofing ceilings, partitions and walls from the inside, you can use Izover Soundproofing, its thickness remains the same as in the above case.
For a floating floor, slabs are used, their thickness is equal to the limit of 20 to 50 mm. For pitched roofs, you can purchase insulation, the thickness of which is 50 and 200 mm. The thickness of the mineral wool OL-E, which is used to insulate walls for plaster, is equal to a range from 50 to 170 mm. Slabs that are used for the installation of a stucco facade can have a thickness of 50 to 200 mm.
In general, Izover is a fairly common brand of heat-insulating materials. These heaters have excellent characteristics, among them are:
- high level of sound insulation;
- low thermal conductivity;
- environmental safety.
As for the thickness, it can vary depending on the purpose and type.
The thickness of Izover for the roof
The thickness of mineral wool slabs under the Izover brand for roof insulation is 30 mm. This parameter is quite enough for this type of work. For pitched roofs, it is better to use the appropriate material, the thickness of which reaches 200 mm. The minimum thickness in this case is 50 mm.
Minvata for insulation of facades and its thickness
Quite often, property owners wonder about how thick mineral wool is used to insulate facades. These works cannot be called a simple task, in this case it is necessary to choose the right insulation. Rigid slabs with a thickness of up to 200 mm are excellent for insulating walls with plaster coating.
You can also buy Izover Plaster facade, its maximum thickness is 170 mm, while the minimum value is 50 mm. If the walls will be arranged using the technology of a ventilated gap, then the algorithm of the work will involve the use of Ventfasad slabs. They are stacked with a lower layer and have a thickness of up to 30 mm. But for the formation of the upper layer, you can use mineral wool "Ventfasad", the thickness of which reaches 200 mm. Single-layer insulation can be arranged using Ventofasad Mono. This material has a thickness in the range of 50 to 200 mm.
Insulation of frame structures
For frame walls and partitions, experts recommend the use of mineral wool 50 mm thick. For these purposes, the aforementioned manufacturer produces mats and boards with a minimum thickness of 40 mm. The final parameter will depend on specific goals, sometimes it reaches 200 mm.
The thickness of the wool "Ursa"
An alternative solution is cotton wool “Ursa”. If it is represented by a variety of "Light", it is intended for the isolation of floors and floors. Universal plates are used for insulation of frame walls, facades for siding and partitions. "Ursa Soundproofing" is used for facing walls from the inside and for warming frame partitions. For each of the above options, a thickness of 50 mm is true.
As for the pitched roof, it can be insulated with the same material under the Ursa brand. The described parameter in this case will be 150 mm. For thermal insulation of facades, the Ursa material of the same name is used, the thickness of which is 50 and 200 mm. But GEO M-11F is a mineral wool 100 mm thick. It is also available in 50 mm plates and is designed to isolate saunas and baths. The GEO M-11 material has the same parameters, it is made for frame walls and floor insulation.
Characteristics of TechnoNIKOL Tekhnoruf mineral wool 60 mm
If you are interested in mineral wool 60 mm thick, then as an example you can consider "Tekhnoruf" from the manufacturer "Tekhnonikol". This material is represented by plates, and the main raw material is organic raw materials. Thermal insulation is not coated. Its density is 115 kg / m 3 . Maximum operating temperature reaches 400 ° C. Thermal conductivity is equivalent to 0.036 W / mK.
As for water absorption, it reaches 1.5%. Humidity is 0.5%. This non-combustible material is completely environmentally friendly. Its density and thickness are truly outstanding. The width and length of the material are 600 and 1200 mm, respectively. The plate area reaches 0.72 m 2 . There are 5 plates in a package, their total area is 3.6 m. At 10% deformation, the compressive strength is 45 kPa. The lumped load is 550 or more. The tensile strength is 10. At 25 ° C, the thermal conductivity is 0.036 W / (m ° C). The content of organic substances does not exceed 4.5%. Vapor permeability not less than 0.3 mg / (m · h · Pa).
Characteristics of brand 125 mineral wool
Mineral wool M-125, the thickness of which can be equal to the limit from 50 to 100 mm, is the insulation of grade 125. Its length is 1000 mm, while the width is 500 mm. The mark indicates the density of the material, which is expressed in kg / m 3 . Thermal conductivity is 0.049 W / m ° C.
This material is versatile. It is made of mineral fiber, which is bound by a synthetic element. Plates are environmentally friendly, they meet all modern requirements for thermal insulation materials. This is precisely what causes the use of mineral wool in construction.
What else you need to know about the M-125
This insulation option is also good because it does not require special skills during installation. Plates are excellent for protecting the inner surface of walls, ceilings, partitions and attics. Mineral wool is used to make slabs for flat roofs and precast concrete walls.
Conclusion
Minvata has a not so high cost and is characterized by a wide area of use. It is used for insulation of basement walls, facades, as well as floors and ceilings. The main advantages of the plates are their low weight and high elasticity, which makes installation convenient and easy.
