In order to keep warm in the home longer in winter, and to keep cool in summer, people insulate their homes. There are many materials for this, but the best and most in demand at the moment is bas alt mineral wool. In this material, fibers that are of mineral origin are randomly located. Therefore, the material was called mineral wool. Now let's figure out what is its charm.
There are three types of mineral fiber insulation:
- slagish;
- glass wool;
- bas alt wool.
Everyone knows that air is the best insulating material. It is able to provide comfortable living in any room. And the task of any insulation is to contain it, while making it static, and besides, leaving it dry. After all, if moisture penetrates into the insulation, then its functionsshe is more unable to perform.
Now rock wool insulation is so common because it is able to provide air retention, leaving it dry better than any other material. What makes it so effective.
Slag wool is made from blast furnace waste. Her color is taupe.
Glass wool is made from sand, soda, dolomite, limestone, borax, and broken glass.
What is bas alt wool made of
Let's take a look at the technical characteristics of bas alt wool, as well as how to use it. Among all similar insulating materials, bas alt wool has the lowest thermal conductivity. In addition, it does not burn, vibration-resistant, and also hydrophobic. It can be of different density, which allows it to be elastic or, conversely, rigid. This quality makes bas alt wool universal.
Bas alt wool (technical characteristics of its fiber) allows you to create materials of any strength, shape and size. All of these benefits are perfect for absolutely any job.
Places of application of bas alt wool of different structure
Soft bas alt wool is used where there will be no load on the thermal insulation. It is ideal for pit masonry or ventilated façades with minimal airflow through the ventilation gaps. Usually such buildings do not exceed 4 floors.
Semi-rigid look is stone wool, the technical characteristics of which allow it to be used in high-rise buildings. The use of such material perfectly shows itself in ventilated facades, where the speed of air flow is unlimited. In addition to these advantages, bas alt wool is used to provide thermal, fire and sound insulation of air ducts.
Rigid bas alt wool is used in places where the load will act on the insulation. A few years ago, the decision to use this material anywhere was made based on the density of its structure. However, today this technique is outdated. At the moment, there are many bas alt wool insulation, which, even with a minimum density, can easily withstand significant loads.
Tips on choosing material for a particular object
Today, bas alt wool, the technical characteristics of which are so extensive that it is worth looking more narrowly, is used as a suitable insulation for a specific building. After all, loads can be of a different nature, so they study which ones affect a particular house or building. If, for example, a bonded type of thermal insulation is used on a building, then here it is necessary to choose plates from those that can withstand loads aimed specifically at breaking. When bas alt wool will be used on flat roof sections, then it is worthpay attention to options that can withstand compression.
Material for hot places
There are also segmented parts, cylindrical and semi-cylindrical shapes, which are designed to provide thermal insulation protection of pipelines.
For places with high temperature, it is also used. There is bas alt wool for the chimney, its characteristics meet all fire safety requirements. In addition, it has a very small weight, which is its essential advantage when used in private homes. This insulation also has a water-repellent effect, which prevents the formation of condensation on surfaces. Thanks to heat-resistant bas alt wool, the chimney is less bulky and its weight is also minimal. However, all fire safety requirements remain at the highest level.
What gives foil bas alt wool
Now manufacturers produce similar heaters for various types of work that may be required in modern conditions. To ensure the maximum thermal insulation effect, there is foil bas alt wool, which, due to its reflective surface, creates better results than ordinary wool.
This material is designed for thermal insulation of high-temperature units, stoves, and fireplaces. In addition, it is excellent for cladding around appliances that have an elevated temperature. Still often, walls are glued with foil bas alt wool to eliminate heat loss. Thisthe material cannot chemically react with other materials because it is inert. This feature makes it even more versatile.
Also, the coating is made of fiberglass, which gives the material high thermal insulation protection. It is most relevant in ventilation systems to keep noise from mufflers.
Products of which companies to choose
When examining the insulation, you should choose from those manufacturers that have been on the market for a long time and have proven themselves well. In our country, Rockwool bas alt wool is considered the best, this company has been on the market for a very long time, and many professionals prefer its products. The products of Nobasil, Turkart, PAROC, TechnoNIKOL also inspire confidence.
The principle of thermal insulation
Mineral wool is designed to generate heat in its chaotically assembled fibers, as well as muffle sounds. Branded counterparts, which were listed above, have such properties. However, it is worth choosing good professionals who can competently install this insulation. After all, if the craftsmen do a poor job, then even Rockwool bas alt wool, which is considered the best, will not fulfill its obligations.
Another important point is that the material itself is enclosed inside the body of the protective structure, and the functional component of the insulation also depends on how it is installed. It often happens that the installed bas alt wool, the price of which is from 400 rubles for insulation for attics and up to 3000 rubles for a high-tech product withcoated with foil, capable of withstanding huge temperatures and their differences, does not withstand the load. The walls freeze in the winter, and in the summer they begin to rot and become covered with mold. This can only mean one thing - the masters installed everything incorrectly.
How bas alt wool is made
The technological process of creating mineral wool is to melt bas alt using electric heaters. Everything happens at high temperatures. From these processes in the material, the fluidity of the bas alt fiber increases, which is randomly located in the structure of the material. Despite the complex technological process, bas alt wool, the price of which is quite low, is the most popular insulation material.
Benefits
- Thermal conductivity of stone wool is the lowest among the rest of the insulation, which allows you to keep the heat almost completely. His losses are negligible. When facing an object with bas alt slabs, much less material is spent than when using other heaters.
- Does not break down under the action of aggressive environments and chemicals. Such resistance allows the material to remain in its original form both visually and functionally for many years.
- The warranty period set by the manufacturers is 30-40 years. However, the builders claim that it is much longer, and one more, or even a couple of dozen, can be added to these figures.
- Very well isolates any sounds, even very loud and harsh. In addition, the structure of bas alt wool does not collapse over time from vibration. It's essentialplus in front of other heaters.
- UV, fungus and mold resistant.
- Easily withstands extreme temperature extremes.
- Does not burn or explode under any circumstances, absolute fire safety.
- Does not react with other materials or chemicals.
- Eco-friendly material.
- Affordable price with the best quality.
