In the sector of professional construction mineral wool is considered not only popular, but also a universal heater. It is actively used as insulation for all types of constructed structures, foundations, engineering systems. Such a broad scope of application due to numerous competitive advantages material.
What is mineral wool?
The term "mineral wool" in the professional building insulation group combines with inorganic origin. Their production uses different kinds of raw material - slag, rocks, glass. The structure of the mineral wool is that among the many fiber base layer are its bases. During production, they are filled with air, which explains unsurpassed sound and thermal insulation thermal insulation parameters. Among the attendant advantages of the mineral wool:
- high resistance to moisture;
- Absolute non-flammability;
- shape stability during its entire life.
Due to the fact that mineral wool is an inorganic origin, rodents, insects, birds show her indifference. Therefore, the material can be used for thermal insulation of all parts of the structure, including the foundation and external piping.
Parameters selection of quality mineral wool for the object
Manufacturers of mineral wool produced in three varieties of molded - slabs, cylinders and rolls. The latter have a minimum strength parameters, so they are used for thermal insulation of roof structures or walls. Cylinders - a solution specifically designed for mounting on pipes of various sizes. On the strength they significantly outperform rolled counterparts.
The most demanded kind of material in the professional construction - mineral boards. They are widely used for thermal insulation of all types of erecting structures can without compromising their integrity to withstand severe mechanical loads. The thickness of the slabs varies from 5 to 20 cm. Optimum insulation variant should be selected in view of its intended use and the climatic conditions of the region. The duration of the service wool is at least 30 years. During the entire period of operation of the heater maintains the stability of its shape, does not shrink and can be combined with any species of finishing materials.
