Heaters Izover

Insulating materials Izover are made on the basis of fiberglass. Mineral fibers have a special non-hygroscopic structure. The material contains air at the weave of the fibers. Therefore, Izover protects the room from temperature changes and sounds. The insulation may collect moisture, but it does not linger inside the fibers. So that condensation does not accumulate inside the floors, during the installation of Izover, technological gaps must be provided for the removal of moisture.

Heaters Izover

Reviews about the insulation Izover are mixed. Most often they compare it with the analogs of ROCKWOOL and URSA, since the thermophysical characteristics of all three brands differ slightly. When cladding with Isover, experts strongly recommend that between the cladding and the insulator use hydro- and windproof membranes, and also leave a ventilated gap to remove moisture from the insulation.

Advantages of Izover:

is issued in the form of plates and a rolled cloth;
does not hold water;
qualitatively protects the structure in severe frosts;
holds the form well inside the ceiling;
durable
optimally suited for the protection of floors without mechanical stress.

Disadvantages:

During the installation of Izover, small particles of fiberglass stick to clothes and fly in the air. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the eyes and nose, as well as exposed skin. When it comes into contact with the skin, micro particles of fibers do not wash off, causing itching for a long time.
When wet, they lose their original heat-insulating properties, therefore it is necessary to protect the insulator from moisture.
The material is unstable to mechanical stress.

Izover warm walls strong

A comment

Recently finished a new summer cottage. This time I decided to do it in science, with a ventilated facade. He took a long time to insulate and eventually chose quartz wool in high-strength slabs “Izover warm walls strong”. It is as light and flexible as in rolls, but has enhanced strength and holds its shape well.

In this case, the plates are elastic and it is convenient to insert them between the guides of the battens, so that there are no gaps. At the same time, unlike stone wool slabs, no fasteners are needed; the slabs themselves are held firmly by elastic expansion.

Elastic, durable

Good insulation for a reasonable price

A comment

By autumn, they decided to warm the attic. There was not much work there. We used isover mini quartz cotton wool for 2 pcs in a pack (usually 10), it seems like their series is a warm house. Well, it was not necessary to purchase standardly large packs or to mess with mats, like with a stone min.vata. These just came up. Other manufacturers, by the way, have not seen such small and comfortable ones. About quartz wool: easy to install! It sits perfectly in the frame completely off guard, bridges of cold are excluded. It does not crumple, does not creep. I was glad that in this particular case it did not even have to be cut. From the waste there were only wrappers. The attic is now warm, all is well.

Quartz, practicality

I recommend cotton on quartz

A comment

Closer to autumn, there was a need to properly insulate the loggia (6 m) in the new apartment. Wishlist for insulation were standard: inexpensive, but not at the expense of quality and health. The warm walls of the strongs 50 mm thick settled on the isover. They chose it because they had already heard good things about Izover, and here is the new one.

Impressions are positive.Inexpensive, all certificates are in place, environmentally friendly, made on the basis of quartz, does not burn, does not absorb moisture (we inadvertently passed a test drive with a cat)). It is conveniently sold in mats with a height of 1 m under a standard pitch of a frame of 600 mm. The quartz insulation does not break during operation, does not crumble, sits firmly in the frame, does not slip. It was easy to mount, the loggia was insulated by himself.

Minus: some insignificant. When unpacking, a slight building aroma was felt, but after half an hour it evaporated and never returned. Pros: everything else. I read, they say they complain about itching during work, but it is the memories of Soviet glass wool that itch. I recommend to say goodbye to nostalgia, still wear work gloves, as requested by the manufacturer, and use modern materials such as quartz wool.

pros

Good material, quartz, easy to install.

Minuses

Building aroma.

Isover evil!

A comment

If your health is dear to you, then you should not use this material (isover!) As a heater. Since it releases pollen from glass, which settles in the lungs, it releases formaldehyde resins.
Money down the drain, short-lived, enough for 5-10 years. Not suitable as a heater, both internal and external - it absorbs moisture, independently, both qualitatively and technologically, they completed construction and installation works.

Although it contains glass, rodents and insects do not care for glass! Live and breed. Mice, rats, earwigs, silverfish, wood lice and their other associates. If this evil you like and want to breed them at home - then your isover!

And do not listen to you builders who suggest using Isover as a heater! Health, nerves are more important. It’s better to overpay a little and choose high-quality, environmentally friendly, building material.

pros

There are practically no pluses, if only the price.

Minuses

- not environmentally friendly
- emits formaldehyde resins,
- emits pollen from glass, which settles in the lungs,
- contains glass, rodents and insects glass at all! Live and breed.
- short-lived,
- absorbs moisture.

ISOVER quality worse

A comment

Isover's quality has gotten worse. I took a stove for warming the attic in the country. From the old owner there was a stove, which was under the brand LINEROCK and compared in the work. The density of ISOVER is poor. When you pick it up, there are holes from the fingers, it breaks, crumbles. The fiber is very short. Itched for 2 days even when using PPE. The only advantage is the price. If this plate is under the brand of a world brand, then it’s just a shame. Under the Russian brand LINEROCK, the plate was much better. To stay on the mineral wool market, you need to change something in production, and not save on raw materials at the expense of quality.

High-quality and inexpensive insulation

A comment

I decided to insulate the balcony and, on the advice of a hardware store, bought Izover insulation. During installation, the material had to be cut, I used the roll option, the insulation is easy to cut and fit. There is such a moment as some shedding of small fibers, so it is better to protect your hands with gloves, otherwise they can itch. The rest is satisfied with the insulation, high-quality and relatively inexpensive, it keeps heat perfectly.

high-quality, inexpensive, keeps heat perfectly

better to wear gloves but not necessarily

Durable and reliable insulation

A comment

7 years ago, Isover insulated the walls in the room and the loggia. As a result, these rooms were combined, and part of the insulating surface had to be redone. Under the removed gypsum board, the insulation remained in the same form, neither crumpled, nor slid down, that is, its original state was practically preserved, and I did not observe heat loss. I am naturally pleased with the result, but I think it will be such only if I don’t violate the installation rules, I was very confused with this at one time.

Time-tested insulation

A comment

Isover is familiar with the insulation years 13-14, then even min.wools were not used so often. To warm the attic of his country house, he did everything according to the instructions, lined the rolls tightly, sealed the seams with a mounting tape to minimize heat loss. This instruction is now http://www.isover.ru/private-uteplitel-skatnoj-krovli-mansardy, and then everything is in words. Now it’s even more convenient, immediately cut insulation in the plates is released, installation can be done alone. It still keeps heat well, does not crumble, and no replacement is required, the manufacturer claimed that it should be enough for 20 years, but according to my feelings, it can work even more.

Reliable insulation Isover

A comment

With Isover mineral wool, I came across a code I needed to insulate the roof of a residential building. The insulation was chosen with a thickness of 14 cm. Each roll of material has the following dimensions: length 4.44 m., Width 1.20 m, area 5.28 m2. The material is safe, it is not combustible and does not smolder, so use it with the goal of warming living quarters correctly.

You need to work with mineral wool, be sure to observe the simple rules for its operation:

- always work with her only in work clothes, protect eyes, hands and respiratory organs;

- after cleaning, collect all garbage with a vacuum cleaner;

Observing these not difficult points, you can be sure that you will not have any problems with this material during the work.
It is not difficult to install the insulation, you just need to cut the mats for sealing, fit them tightly to each other and close (if any) all the cracks.

pros

High-quality packaging, ease of installation, thermal insulation properties, price, relative health safety in the presence of elementary protection.

Minuses

Subject to installation rules, no

Isover - Compared to Rockwool loses

A comment

In general, the house was almost completely insulated with Rockwool wool, the material was more than liked, in the process of working with this insulation you can not use special protective equipment. But this insulation was not enough for internal work, the husband proposed to save the family budget and purchase cheaper material. They took Isover, it cost us about 20 rubles less for each sheet.

Isover didn’t really like working with Isover insulation, it’s simply impossible to work without special protection, you’ll scratch it all. In addition, this heater stinks terribly.

If possible, it is better to buy Rockwool stone wool, the quality is several times better than that of Isover insulation, working with Rockwool is more pleasant and convenient.

cheap
