Heat insulator Roklayt belongs Technonikol manufacturer. The material consists of basalt fibers, which are obtained through the processing of ore-gabbro basalt rock. The scope of this wool: vertical, horizontal, angled design. In this case, the load on them is absent. The average density is 35 kg / m3. This value is almost unchanged in all mineral wool slabs.
Consider insulation Roklayt and specifications.
Description insulation and technical parameters
So what Roklayt has features and characteristics? One of the main distinguishing features is the fire resistance of basalt products.
In the material obtained to withstand a temperature which exceeds 1000 ° C. This was made possible thanks to the fact that the material is made of rock. Regardless of the thickness of the mineral wool slabs - the ability of the material disappears. Therefore, this insulation is very often used for the isolation procedures where the chimney is located near the construction of the tree. But in spite of this advantage, it is still advised to take additional steps that are needed to protect against fire.
Plates Roklayt not shrink even after a huge operational period.
This is possible thanks to the density of the material. Another advantage is the water vapor transmission rate, which is absent in polystyrene foam heat insulator. Moisture is skipped and is not absorbed. This eliminates the occurrence of condensation on the walls and other surfaces. This advantage becomes even more valuable when conducted insulation between the metal profiles. If congestion occurs, the occurrence of rust was inevitable. Material generally not interested in small rodents and insects. Mold and fungus are also not afraid to insulation.
Consider the table of technical parameters, pay attention to the table:
| Thermal conductivity | Density | flammability | compressibility limit | water vapor permeability |
| 0,039-0,041 W / m × K | 30-40 kg / m3 | NG | 30% | 0.3 mg / m × h × Pa |
We consider separately the size of insulating material:
- length - 1200 mm;
- width - 600 mm;
- thickness - 5-15 centimeters.
If the package contains a maximum plate thickness, it is in four pieces. 12 pieces included in the package, if their thickness is 5 centimeters. In addition to excellent heat insulation properties, Roklayt has excellent sound insulating performance. The material is light, and the process of its installation is quite simple.
cons insulation
The first drawback that mark Roklayt users - is moisture absorption material, which falls on the surface. Therefore need more protection from weather precipitation. To do this, use a waterproofing and steam insulating product.
During the establishment of vapor barrier film is not to be confused by her installation. Fixing is overlapped by 15 centimeters.
Since the heat insulator structure consists of basalt fibers, when mounting in ventilated façades need to use wind protection. Otherwise basalt fibers will be blown. And after a certain period of time in the insulation material to deteriorate technical properties. As the wind protection is not necessary to mount the battens or similar siding varieties.
Roklayt - it is not exactly environmentally friendly material, since it is composed of a resin containing a small amount of phenol. Therefore, this insulation is recommended for exterior insulation construction or in places where it will not be exposed to heat.
As an "appetizer" for basalt fiber mice are not interested, however, to create a hole in the material they can, so you need to consider additional protection. Remember also about safety, so during the insulation process, dust is the selection. Irritation of the skin and respiratory tract - the least that can happen to a person.
Scope of use
Roklayt thermal insulator has a wide scope of use. Laying basalt slabs can be carried out in the filler in concrete and between the lag. mount technology is to eliminate the gap. on top of a heat insulator made the final coating. The coating can be totally arbitrary (laminate parquet, etc.).
This heating material used for thermal insulation and soundproofing partitions. Installing thermal insulator is held in the frame as wood and metal. On top of the drywall sheets Roklayt impose further assembling the final coating is made. Further areas of use of the thermal insulation products are ventilated facades.
Roklayt actively used during the construction of houses from the carcass. From inside the closed vapor barrier material. This eliminates the possibility of moisture penetration from the premises. After mounting the vapor barrier membrane is the final finish. Windscreen mounted on the outside of a heat insulator. As the windshield can be set specifically designed film or OSB boards. Choice depends on the windshield coating species. Pitched roof is insulated by a similar method.
Thermal insulation of the facade at home
The outer insulation of the facade of the building is better than the inside. So you keep the interior of the premises. The surface of the walls will be protected from sudden temperature changes, which increases the durability of the structure. But it is important to provide an air gap ventilation after warming. This is to ensure that condensate could freely eroding.
Easy to mount and specifications of mineral wool - all made this material popular. Additionally, heating a product capable of withstanding fire and high temperature values. Specifications do not become worse even decades later.
Price and recommendations
Storage of heat-insulating product, regardless of its thickness should be on the pallet and the packaging material. Laying held stacks, height does not exceed two meters. To protect the surface against climatic precipitation covered material that is waterproof.
If heat insulation is required for mineral wool thickness of 10 centimeters, it is better to acquire Roklayt plate, the thickness of which is 5 centimeters. According to the recommendations of professionals, it is better to lay the thermal insulation product in two layers in the Extension. This should be overlapped stitches of the first insulation layer. Thanks to this arrangement eliminates the risk of cracks for the penetration of cold air.
Process basalt wool insulation must include additional use films for protection from moisture. It is advisable to carry out the procedure of thermal insulation on the outside of the structure, so as not to reduce the space inside the building.
The cost of the construction market is:
- Packing with 12 pieces (50 mm) - 630 rubles.
- Packing 8 pieces (75 mm) - 640 rubles.
- Packaging with 4 pieces (150 mm) - 640 rubles.
