Rocklight Technonikol 50mm heater

A very frequently asked question during the construction or reconstruction of any object is how to insulate the building and at the same time achieve maximum economy of heating resources. Today, the main types of insulation are:

• Glass wool;
• Basalt or stone wool.

Very often people confuse glass wool with mineral wool. Both glass wool and basalt wool are considered mineral because they are made from minerals: glass wool - from quartz sand and battle glass, basalt wool - from basalt rock melted at a temperature of 3500 degrees Celsius. But still, stone wool has a number of advantages over glass wool, and it is not (as popular opinion) the "thorniness" of glass wool.

Advantages of basalt insulation:

• Basalt insulation belongs to the NG flammability group, that is, it is NOT flammable;
  • Basalt wool has a colossal level of hydrophobicity compared to glass wool. Stone wool passes moisture like a sieve, while glass wool absorbs it like a sponge, which affects the service life and energy efficiency indicators.

We recommend using basalt wool of the Technonikol Rocklight company to insulate roofs and mansards. This heater has a density of 28-30 kg/cubic. meter and is ideally suited for construction. The company "Technonikol" has been working on the market since the beginning of 2000 and has become the best supplier of this material. The material is produced in sheets and its dimensions are 1200mm*600mm.

Sheet thickness:

• 50mm;
• 100mm;
• 120 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm - to order from the factory from 500 square meters;

This material is easily mounted with the help of so-called "mushroom umbrellas" or with the help of profiles, the length of which is selected depending on the thickness of the stone wool layer.

A mandatory condition for the installation of cotton wool is its protection from moisture and increased energy efficiency. This is achieved with the help of vapor barrier films, hydro barrier and diffusion membrane. You can get all these materials and advice on its installation from the specialists of our company.

Our company can provide delivery of the material to your object, as well as carry out its installation. We draw your attention to the fact that for the insulation of facades it is necessary to use wool of the second density, starting from 45 kg/m3 - this is described in detail in the corresponding positions on our website.
