Today Izoroq is one of the leading manufacturers of bas alt wool, intended for building insulation. The popularity of the materials of this company is due to their truly remarkable performance.
Company History
Izorok was founded quite recently - in 2000. In order to start production of new generation heaters, his management had to reconstruct the old Tambov plant. Heaters at this enterprise were produced before. Their release was started in 1982. During the reconstruction, German technologies were used, as well as equipment from the well-known Swedish company Ungers. This made it possible to start producing much better materials.
Today, the company uses only innovative equipment, as well as the highest quality and at the same time safe materials. This was the main reason for the more than successful competition of insulators of this brand with other products, includingand many well-known overseas companies.
Using Izorok insulation
The scope of materials of this brand is unusually wide. "Izorok" is a heater that is most often used to insulate building envelopes from the cold. In addition, they are also used in the assembly of pipelines, as well as in the construction of industrial buildings. The use of these heat insulators allows not only to increase the thermal properties of structural elements, but also to solve sound insulation issues, reduce fire hazard and reduce the load on the foundation.
Lightweight options are especially popular with developers - Izorok heaters 75 and 50 (density). They are often used to insulate the walls of low-rise buildings.
In private households, "Izorok" can be used to insulate not only walls, floors, roofs and ceilings of the house. It is also used for isolation:
- Cellars and cellars.
- Doors and garage doors.
- Balconies and loggias.
Thermal insulation of a house and all kinds of structures using this material is a simple and effective procedure.
How Isoroc heaters are made
The main raw material for the insulators of this brand is the bas alt type of rocks. The process of their manufacture includes the following steps:
- Preparation of raw materials and additives before melting.
- Actually the melt itself. It is produced at a temperature of 1500 oC.
- Putting the molten rock into a centrifuge in which itstretched into fibers.
- Further, the bas alt "filaments" are blown into a special fiber deposition chamber. Here, dust-removing and water-repellent additives are added to them.
- Next, the fibers enter the pendulum stacker, where they are distributed and intertwined in the form of a carpet.
- Then the resulting web is pressed.
- Next, polymerization takes place in the heat treatment chamber.
- After that, the carpet is cut into slabs or mats.
- At the final stage, the material is shrink-wrapped.
The main advantages of materials
"Izorok" - insulation, the main advantages of which include:
- Environmental cleanliness. The materials of this brand are absolutely safe for human he alth and non-toxic.
- Durability. When properly installed, the insulation will not need to be changed throughout the life of the building.
- Low thermal conductivity. The use of Izoroq materials can reduce heating costs by at least 20%.
- Versatility. You can use a heat insulator of this brand to protect both walls and floors, ceilings, roofs, etc.
- Excellent soundproofing qualities. Therefore, it is advisable to use it for insulation, including building envelopes in urban buildings. For example, for cladding balconies.
- Excellent compressibility. Thanks to this feature, the material takes up very little space in the warehouse.
- Light weight. Transporting Izoroq mats and slabs is veryeasy.
- Easy installation. Even one person can do the work of insulating building envelopes with this type of insulation.
Material reviews
"Izorok" is a heater, the opinions of consumers about which are mostly positive. It is noted that it can be used for insulation of building envelopes with increased fire hazard. "Izorok" is completely non-flammable. In addition, the materials of this brand have earned positive reviews due to their strength. It is impossible to tear such sheets and slabs during installation.
"Izorok", the reviews of which are mostly very good, has one more advantage. Consumers like the lack of shrinkage of this material. Not all domestic bas alt wools have this quality. Therefore, plates 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.
And, of course, perhaps the main reason for the huge popularity among developers of Izorok materials, reviews of which allow us to judge them as very high quality, is the ability to save money by buying excellent insulation at a low price.
Mineral wool "Izoroq": varieties of plates
Currently, this company produces materials such as mineral wool boards (excellent thermal insulation for walls), cylinders, semi-cylinders (for pipes), mats, and sandwich panels. All these varieties, as alreadymentioned, differ simply in excellent performance characteristics. Mineral wool boards, among other things, can vary in density. The most loose material is considered to be a variety of P-75. These plates are not recommended to be used for thermal insulation of structures in the event that any serious load is exerted on them during operation. The densest material is marked P-125.
In addition, this company produces the following types of stoves:
- Isoflor. Designed for floor insulation.
- Isoface. These boards are used to insulate "wet" facades.
- Isoruf. Best for roof insulation.
- Isovent. This is an excellent thermal insulation for walls, used mostly in the construction of ventilated facades.
- Isocor. Sandwich panels are made from this insulation.
Izorok mats
This type of product from this manufacturer is marked MP. In the event that a fiberglass shell was used in the manufacture of mats, two more letters are added to these letters - ST. Next come the numbers that correspond to the density of the material. Mats are delivered to stores 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 process equipment from cold.
Cylinders and half-cylinders
Insulation "Izorok" of this variety is intended primarily forinsulation of pipelines with hot and cold water, as well as heating systems. The diameter of the produced cylinders ranges from 18 to 273 mm.
Basic rules for the installation of Izoroq materials
When installing plates and mats of this brand, be sure to observe the following rules:
- It is best to mount the material in several layers. This will prevent the appearance of so-called "cold bridges". For high-quality insulation, according to SNiP standards, the thickness of the material should be at least 150-200 mm. The manufacturer recommends using the light Izoroq 50 insulation that springs from one edge as the first layer in a two-layer insulation.
- From the side of the room, the heat-insulating material must be protected by a vapor barrier film. From the side of the street - waterproofing or windproof.
- A ventilation gap must be provided between the heat insulator and the finish.
- On vertical and inclined planes, mats should be additionally fixed with dowels - "fungi". The same goes for the material used to insulate the ceiling.
- Insulation should be installed around the entire perimeter of a building or roof to create a continuous insulation loop.
- Before installation, be sure to read the instructions for use. Following it will avoid unnecessary mistakes.
Insulation "Izorok": characteristics
Currently, Izoroq produces more than 20 varieties of boards and mats. Of course, all these materialshave different technical specifications. So:
- Density can range from 40 to 150 kg/m3.
- The tuft breaking strength is 3-15 kPa.
- Compressive strength can reach 10-55 kPa.
- The degree of thermal conductivity of materials is usually 0.033-0.007W.
- The degree of water absorption is 1-5%.
Other company materials
"Izorok" is a quality insulation, but not the only material produced by this company. In addition to it, the company produces:
- Waterproofing membranes.
- Vapour barrier membranes.
- Adhesive tapes designed to attach these films.
Of course, these materials are also of excellent quality and at the same time not too expensive.
Cost of insulation
Izorok insulation, 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 Izoroq can range from 1500-6000 rubles per 1 m3. As you can see, you will have to pay more for this material than for polystyrene. At the same time, the price for it is comparable to the cost of polystyrene foam. However, it is worth noting the fact that the latter in terms of vapor permeability, fire safety and the level of thermal conductivity are significantly inferior to Izorok heaters.
Insulation "Izorok", the price of which is not too high, can be bought from dealerscompanies in a specific region.
As you can see, Izorok heaters are reliable, durable materials with very good performance characteristics. Buying mats or slabs of this brand for warming a country house is definitely worth it.
