Rockwool Light Butts Scandic XL 1200x600x100 mm (4.32 sq. M)

Application area

Wall insulation outside
Insulation from Rockwool Scandic series is most often used for the purpose of insulating external walls. The best choice is the ventilated facade technology, which ensures perfect steam exchange, which ultimately allows you to prevent the walls from getting wet and to choose any decorative coating for the facades. Good technical characteristics of the material make it possible to use it as a heater for two-layer brickwork. Usually builders erect a wall in two layers according to the principle of well masonry, placing the material between the layers.

Plates can also be used in frame construction, laying a layer of insulation between sheet or piece material at the base of a wooden frame. The material is also useful for those who plan to decorate the walls of the house using the "wet facade" technology, it is used for both external and internal wall insulation, if necessary. Insulation Rockwool from the Light Butts Scandic series is suitable not only for walls, but also for floors and ceilings, for example, for the purpose of insulating basements without heating or cold attics.

With its help, floors are effectively insulated on logs or under a screed. The versatility of the material allows it to be used for attics and roof structures, including for the purpose of insulating pitched and flat roofs. Bathrooms and saunas that require special thermal insulation can use slabs in order to maintain optimal heat and prevent excessive moisture in the walls.

Plates in combination with additional materials are suitable for technological equipment and the construction of soundproof structures.

Installation features

In the process of installing mineral slabs, experts advise to follow the manufacturer's recommendations so that the service life of the material is as long as possible. Insulation must be laid in at least two layers, overlapping the joints. Thanks to the springy edges, the placement of the slabs is greatly simplified, they do not need to be trimmed or adjusted to size. Already after installation between several rafters or other guiding elements, the material straightens and fills the empty space. It is not difficult to identify the marked side as it is marked with a red stripe.
Plates of the brand must be additionally protected from direct exposure to water and condensate; for this purpose, layers of a special membrane are used, which is laid on top of the mineral wool. Most often, a membrane from the same manufacturer is used, for example, Extra. It should be laid with an overlap, gluing the joints between the layers for greater tightness. The slabs must not be left open, otherwise stone particles and fibers may get inside the room. They are additionally closed with a vapor barrier film, siding-type lining, plywood or drywall sheets.

Membrane Rockwool for roofing

In the process of work, personal protective equipment is always used: glasses, respirators, gloves and overalls.

Most often, the plates are installed as a whole, but sometimes it may be necessary to install fragments, in such cases the material is cut with a knife. During installation, it is recommended not to squeeze the plates over the entire surface; it is better to do this only from one edge, so as not to reduce the effectiveness of the insulation. Each plate is installed on a pre-prepared frame, which greatly simplifies the entire installation process.

For frames, structures made of wooden bars or metal profiles of standard sizes are used. In the process of installing interior partitions, experts recommend making the frame vertical in order to reduce the noise level.If the installation work is carried out in accordance with all the rules, the slabs will reliably protect any room from heat loss, noise and sounds, will help reduce the load on the supporting structures and extend the life of any structure.

Facts on the table

Let's start with the most important characteristic - thermal conductivity. It is 0.039 W / (m · K), which allows for effective insulation of buildings and structures in conditions of high latitudes. The insulation efficiency is extremely high. If the technology of roof and wall insulation is observed, a two-fold reduction in the cost of heating the interior is possible.
An important fact is the absence of a fire hazard. The material used is non-combustible and does not reduce the degree of fire resistance of buildings erected from glass and concrete. In addition, the use of insulation allows you to reduce the amount of wood used in the construction of walls by 4, and brick - by 19 times.

The concern of consumers about the ecological component of the insulation is understandable. In this case, there is nothing to worry about. The original natural materials have been subjected to high-temperature processing. The binders have undergone complete polymerization, which has brought them into an extremely stable state. Certificates and permits allow us to carry out insulation in any building, including hospitals and children's institutions. The absence of components harmful to human health allows you to work in compliance with the minimum rules of personal safety.

Do not forget about the sound insulation properties, which also allows you to save on the purchase of special materials.

The service life is simply amazing. Claimed 50 years of trouble-free heat leakage protection. At the same time, the material is not susceptible to getting wet, it is resistant to the encroachment of insects and rodents. Due to its “stone” base, it does not spread mold and mildew.

Composition and technology

Light Batts thermal insulation materials are slabs made of basalt wool using the unique Flexy technology. Its feature is the ability of one of the edges of the insulation to spring, decreasing its volume during compression and increasing when the load stops. This makes the material much easier to install on wood and metal frames.

The Rockwool edge, which can change its density, is located on the long side of the slab and is marked for ease of work. During installation, such insulation provides a greater density of adhesion to the structure compared to other materials and does not form cracks, due to which there are no drafts in the room, and heat does not escape outside.

The binder and water-repellent impregnation included in the insulation make it waterproof. Although they leave the possibility of excess water vapor leaving the room without accumulating in the material. And the good thermal insulation properties of the Rockwool slab are due to the chaotic arrangement of the fibers, which reduces their thermal conductivity coefficient.

Specifications of Light Butts Rockwool

Rockwool Product Reviews

“My husband decided to do all the work on the roof insulation himself, although there is no experience. On the recommendation of the seller, Rockwool slabs were chosen. It is good that they do not irritate the skin like regular glass wool. And my husband also liked the edge, which can be squeezed a little and the plate lies without cracks. And the price of Light Butts Scandic is the same as that of the TechnoNIKOL stove, although there is no such invention there. We are satisfied with the purchase, we bought it at Leroy Merlin ”.

Vladimir, Moscow region.

“I didn't buy. They all boast about the new, but in fact - all the same, if only to tear off the price higher. What you have seen is almost twice the price of ordinary mineral water! Better to fill up all the cracks with foam, it will be cheaper. "

Yaroslav, Samara.

“For a long time I have been advising my clients to use Rockwool products when insulating a bath. And it does not stick out over time, and everything is thought out to the smallest detail, and it is easy to work with it. In short, if you want quality, I recommend not to skimp on matches! "

Victor Sergeev, Ufa.

Different from others

Official product presentation:

The difficulty that builders of their own homes have to face is the lack of heavy vehicles to deliver the building material.By hiring a car for transportation, a person incurs extra costs. The main goal in the development of Scandic, Rockwool marketers, determined to reduce the cost of delivering insulation to the place of work. This was achieved through the development of a 60% compression material. This parameter means that ROCKWOOL Scandic can withstand compression up to 60% of its volume when fully recovered after unloading. Thus, the set goal was achieved. The volume of the original packaging has been reduced by 2/3. Now one and the same machine can take away 3 times more insulation in a vacuum package.

Parameters and types of Light Butts

It must be admitted that the popularity of Rockwool heaters would be much less if they did not possess a mass of unique properties and characteristics that distinguish them from the usual materials.

At the same time, the consumer can choose not only standard Light Butts slabs, but also their improved version - Scandic, which differs in properties during installation and transportation.

Types of materials

Rockwool mineral wool is available in 2 versions:

• standard slabs, the dimensions of which are 1.0 × 0.6 m, and the compressibility has a standard value for brand products of 30%, their thickness is in the range of 50-200 mm with a step of 50 mm;
• improved Scandic slabs, having 2 additional standard sizes (0.6 × 0.8 m and 1.2 × 0.6 m) and the ability to compress up to 60%, the thickness of such materials is 100 and 150 mm.

Thus, Scandik insulation is either more convenient than conventional plates for transportation even in passenger cars (small standard size), or, conversely, designed to speed up the installation process (larger version). In addition, the material is produced in vacuum packaging, due to the manufacturing technology of which the shelf life of Rockwool boards increases several times.

Description Rockwool Light Butts

Light Butts Scandic - mineral wool, which is made from gabbro-basalt ore

Light Butts Scandic is a mineral wool insulation made from gabbro-basalt ore. The rocks are melted at a high temperature and the resulting lava is placed in a centrifuge, which makes it possible to obtain special fibers intended for the formation of insulation of the Scandic series. It is additionally enriched with water-repellent substances in order to exclude water absorption during the thermal insulation process.

At the final stage of production, the building material is transformed into lightweight hydrophobized slabs that look like stone wool. During the production, a special Flexi technology is used, thanks to which the edges of the plates can be pressed. The insulation material is capable of springing, which greatly facilitates installation on structures with a frame made of wood or metal. The flexed edges are marked, a special badge is placed on the end part from the side 1000 mm long and 50 mm wide.

The brand's boards are ideal for creating a heat-insulating layer that does not require special loads. They are used in the formation of partitions, attics, floors between floors, walls of buildings with a small number of floors.

We apply correctly

Insulation Scandik is used to insulate the facades of private houses, attics, interior partitions, ceilings, walls, balconies, external doors of vertical and inclined use. There is no additional load on the slabs. The increased density led to an increase in the mechanical stability of the material, but an unacceptable load leads to its deformation, and, as a consequence, deterioration of the thermal insulation properties.

Using mats of different thicknesses, it is easy to achieve the desired layer of insulation. The presence of Light Butts Scandic plates of 150 mm significantly reduces the labor costs for the installation of insulation of large thicknesses.If, in the calculations, the thickness of the insulation is required with a layer of 380 mm, then it is necessary to round it up to a multiplicity of 150, 100 or 50.

Advantages of Rockwool Scandic insulation

All Rockwool insulation is made from stone wool, so it is non-combustible. It can withstand heating up to + 750 ° C. But it is not recommended to use it in places with a temperature of more than + 250 ° C, since in this case the binder component begins to collapse. Rockwool thermal insulation properties are preserved, but the service life is reduced.

The low coefficient of thermal conductivity helps to significantly reduce the heating costs of the house. In addition to excellent thermal insulation properties, Light Butts Scandic insulation is also good sound insulation, drowning out airborne noise. Compared to vapor-proof styrofoam, Rockwool stone wool wicks moisture out of the room, but does not absorb it.

Thermal insulation Scandic, like other stone wool, is not of interest to rodents and insects as food. Also, it does not support the growth of mold and fungi, it is resistant to acids, alkalis and oils. To prevent water from being absorbed into the Scandic insulation, its surface is covered with a water-repellent component. As a result, drops of water flow from it, and do not soak inside.

Scope, pre-purchase advice and storage rules

Insulation Light Butts Scandic is recommended for unloaded structures. It is used for thermal insulation of attics, partitions, ceilings between floors, walls in low-rise buildings, balconies, floors, baths, saunas, pitched roofs and walls for siding.

Before buying, you need to carefully inspect the packaging so that it is not torn. There should be no strong dents or cuts on its surface. When purchasing Rockwool thermal insulation from unofficial dealers, it is recommended to check the quality certificates so as not to buy a fake. The unpacked material is stored only under a roof or some other shelter. The main thing is that precipitation does not fall on the Scandik thermal insulation. It is necessary to keep the packages on pallets. In no case should you stack pallets on top of each other. Plates are laid horizontally. Do not throw, kick or tighten insulated packages.
