Not a single new building will last even a decade if it was built without the use of thermal insulation materials. Thanks to them, maximum heat savings are achieved, there are no drafts and "cold bridges" inside the walls, and the service life declared by manufacturers allows you to forget about major repairs of the building for decades.
Among heaters, mineral wool is considered one of the market leaders in terms of a number of parameters. It is divided into three groups:
- basalt;
- glass wool;
- slag.
The process of making one mineral wool from another is different, but the meaning of use remains the same - achieving maximum comfort with a minimum cost of money and effort. At the same time, it is desirable to fulfill a number of operational and requirements prescribed by GOST.
The materials of the IZO- series stand out among the mineral wool. They appeared on the market relatively recently, but are already in consumer demand. Heaters made from natural raw materials with a minimum amount of artificial additives are supplied in slabs or rolls, and one of them, called Izobel, will be discussed in more detail.
Insulation features
The area of use of isobel is to reduce the thermal conductivity of buildings for various purposes. In the production of insulation, EcoSafe technology is used, which reduces the amount of moisture absorbed by the material. Izobel slabs are a type of basalt wool (material with the lowest thermal conductivity) and are manufactured without the use of blast furnace slags. Typically, the insulation has a standard size (1000 × 600 mm, 1000 × 1000 mm, etc.).
Isobel can be produced not only from heavy basaltic rocks, but also from lighter ones like limestone or quartzite.
The resulting slabs weigh less and do not keep heat so well, but their density is higher, which affects the durability. A similar izobel is used for cladding places in a house where thermal insulation does not play a special role, and fire resistance and noise absorption are much more important (non-residential attics, ceilings, pitched roofs).

You your posts at least in worde first type Waiting for arrows in your address from fans of insulation!
Yes, I know Message 9. Saturated with moisture insulation occurs only in the case when the vent is absent or not maintained. Yes, then it quickly loses its thermal qualities, gains moisture, collapses, mold appears on the walls of the house, etc. In fact, the so-called three-layer masonry is not durable.
Features of installation isobel
Due to its ease of use, insulation is used almost everywhere. Thermal insulation with its help will be justified in such places:
- partitions between floors;
- floor;
- sloped roofs;
- attic;
- walls.
The only place that is undesirable to insulate with isobel is the foundation, since the slabs can get wet from interaction with the soil and fail.
Like any other mineral wool, insulation requires two additional layers - hydro and vapor barrier. The first protects the plates from getting wet from the outside, the second - from the inside. When installing Isobel on a sloping roof, it is recommended to make an air gap, the purpose of which is to drain the accumulating condensate.
The key difference between isobel like mineral wool and foam is that it is not mounted directly to the wall with glue, but is placed inside the cells formed by a wooden crate. Plus such a need - additional strengthening of the building frame, minus - financial investments.
Material specifications
Izobel heaters have approximately the same physical characteristics. For example, a plate with a size of 1000 × 600 mm is considered below. Its characteristics will be:
- density - 25 kg / cu. m;
- thickness - from 40 to 250 mm;
- vapor permeability - from 0.3 mg / m * h * Pa;
- flammability class - IV (best);
- thermal conductivity coefficient - 0.03-0.04 W / m * K;
- liquid absorption at full immersion in water - up to 1.5%;
- moisture content by weight - up to 0.5%.
The key advantage is obvious - the low degree of water absorption makes it possible to use isobel even when external walls are insulated.
Insulation advantages
Minvata would not have become so popular among consumers if it did not have a number of advantages. With regard to insulation of the Izobel brand, the qualities listed below are considered as such.
- Excellent thermal conductivity - coefficient from 0.03 to 0.04 - one of the smallest among heaters. If you add to this the thinness and elasticity of basalt fibers, you get an almost ideal material that allows you to significantly save on heating the room.
- Fire resistance - isobel belongs to the IV group of fire safety materials. In the presence of a nearby fire site, its physicochemical properties will remain unchanged; also the plates will become an obstacle in the path of the spreading fire.
- Long service life - the insulation made of basalt stone lasts at least 50 years, subject to storage conditions. Excess liquid will not in any way affect the material - the fibrous structure will easily let steam through and evaporate condensate.
- Weak water absorption - basalt is non-hygroscopic; only 1.5% of its volume can be filled with moisture. If water-repellent additives are used in the production, the value is reduced to 1%.
- Good vapor permeability - achieved by the fibrous structure of the material and promotes the use of isobel in baths, saunas or industrial premises.
- Sound insulation - depending on the thickness of the slab, they completely or partially neutralize extraneous noise.
- Resistant to corrosion, fungi, rodents, unattractive to birds.
- Affordable price - isobel is on average 15% cheaper than mineral wool analogues; per slab with an area of 1 sq. m and a thickness of 50 mm, the consumer will give from 100 to 300 rubles.
- Environmental safety is achieved by a minimum amount of chemical components used to increase water repellency, and even then not always.
The above is only a part of the positive aspects of the izobel insulation. Other benefits are easier to perceive in operation rather than describe.

Competent insulation allows you to save well on heating and add coziness that is so necessary in the house. And as an example, consider the insulation from the well-known manufacturer of the same name.
We will try to answer how this insulation material differs from similar ones, and what is its advantage.
The use of materials for insulation
Description of the benefits
Isobel is positioned on the building materials market as an economy class insulation. Indeed, its price is lower than that of competitors. According to their technical parameters, the products belong to soft insulation, which means a rigid frame or substrate.
The main advantages are:
- Low thermal conductivity... For example, 10 cm of Isobela retains heat as well as a brick wall 2 bricks thick;
- Long-term operation... The durability of the material is explained by the properties of basalt chips and threads that make up the base;
- Non-flammable... The material is non-combustible, due to the fire resistance of the constituent substance;
- Good sound insulation;
- Vapor permeability;
- Environmental friendliness insulation;
- Does not allow moisture to pass through ;
- Chemical and biological resistance; Isobel is not susceptible to acids and other aggressive environments, as well as mold and rodent damage.
Let's consider the most important advantages of the material in more detail.
Thermal conductivity
Various types of insulation materials
Low thermal conductivity is the main quality of this insulation. Thanks to the use of such material, it is possible to significantly facilitate the construction of both walls and roofs. Due to the low coefficient of thermal conductivity, the material is widely used in the insulation of frame houses.

Environmental Safety
Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the ecological component. When choosing a material, today, first of all, they pay attention to the main physical and chemical indicators, then to the environment and then to the cost.
And this is a good trend. Environmental safety of Isobel is explained by the use of natural materials in its composition, such as fibers from mineral basalt chips.
Insulation characteristics
The technical characteristics of the Isobel insulation are mainly responsible for its main functions.
And this, first of all:
- thermal conductivity;
- fire protection;
- soundproofing.
As for the main indicator, which is characterized by the coefficient of thermal conductivity, Isobel has a value of 0.035 W / m * K. For comparison, the coefficient of thermal conductivity of air - 0.025, foam concrete - 0.05, ordinary wool - 0.055.
To explain the non-flammable properties of the material, it will be enough to indicate the melting point of basalt fibers at 1100 degrees Celsius. The density of the material is only 25-30 kg / m3.
Isobel is supplied in packages, as can be seen from the photo above, of 8 and 4 sheets, depending on the thickness of 50 and 100 mm. Thanks to the shrink film, neat packaging is obtained by volume of 0.24 m3.
Recommendations for the use of Isobel
The use of Izobel in the insulation of a pitched roof
The optimal ratio of positive technical characteristics and price, opens up a wide field for the use of the material.
Insulation is good for:
The insulation is very easy to use. It is a lightweight and soft material. All work with insulation is easy to do with your own hands without the help of outsiders.
Note! You don't have to use a special tool for processing Isobel. Insulation sheets are easily cut with a simple clerical knife, or any knife with a long and thin blade.
Roof insulation
For high-quality roof insulation, a simple use of insulation is not enough. This is due, first of all, to the importance of thermal protection of the roof - after all, warm air rises from the bottom up. As shown in the picture above, Isobel sheets are stacked between vertical bars.
On the inside, it is imperative to lay a layer of vapor barrier to prevent excessive moisture saturation from warm air vapors.
The resulting layer cake of vapor barrier, insulation and windproof material is reinforced by the main roof frame. On the inside, on top of the vapor barrier, you can attach any decoration material - drywall, boards, and so on.
Advice!
To increase the thermal insulation of the roof, a layer of air should be left between the Isobel sheets and the windproof material.
Creating an acoustic partition
Scheme of additional sound insulation of partitions
The instructions for installing an acoustic partition are quite simple.
- Creation of a construction plan with clear geometric dimensions of length, width, height and pitch of vertical bars;
- The device of the partition frame from any available material;
Photo: installation of a partition frame from a profile
- Filling the frame with sheets of insulation. It is necessary to lay the slabs tightly, without leaving gaps;
Laying insulation mats in the frame niches
- Sheathing the seal on both sides with plasterboard, boards, plywood or any other material you like.

By the same principle, any work to preserve heat and protect against sound can be carried out.Insulation of a loggia, balcony, attic room, attic, floor - all this can be easily done with the help of Isobel.
Output
The use of this insulation will significantly reduce the overall cost of insulation and soundproofing of housing. In the video presented in this article, you will find additional information on this topic.

Disadvantages of thermal insulation material
Alas, even Isobel is not devoid of disadvantages, although there are not so many of them. These include:
- the possibility of loss of thermal insulation properties at the joints of the slabs or in the area of contact with the crate (the joint is not sealed with a sealant or foam, like polystyrene);
- an additional waterproofing layer is required, since with a direct hit of water, the plate will swell and cease to be useful;
- a crate of certain sizes is required (according to the dimensions of the izobel insulation slabs);
- the process is complicated by the use of a mask, gloves and clothing that covers the skin; otherwise, small particles that come off the stove will get on the skin, causing allergies or scabies.
Despite the slight disadvantages of isobel, the material is still recommended for use in almost any room. It is accessible, it is easy for them to sheathe a section of the house, and the next replacement of insulation, subject to the installation technology, will not have to be done earlier than 50 years later. When buying material, the consumer will save a good amount, and during operation he will be convinced of the right choice.
