Basalt-based mineral wool insulation

The advantages of basalt mineral wool are a consequence of the technology of its production. It is manufactured using special technology that ensures durability. thermal insulation.

Advantages and disadvantages of the material

The average life of the material is 30-40 years, which is many times more than other suitable options.

This advantage is not the only one, since the mineral wool itself is practically not affected by the fungus. High chemical resistance and a wide range of operating temperatures make this material very attractive for various construction needs. Should be noted high ecological purity of the materialwhich is not dangerous to human health.

The only weakness of mineral wool is water, which, as you know, the stone wears away. If moisture gets inside the stove or mat, the insulation properties will drop sharply, so more heat will begin to leave the room. It is also necessary to observe a certain algorithm for preparing material for work, given below.

The algorithm for preparing mineral wool for work

1. The material must lie down if insulation is made in the room.
2. Even if the work is carried out outdoors, it is necessary to let the mats gain their volume. This usually takes up to 15 minutes after they are deployed.
3. All operations should be carried out in dry weather.
4. One of the important parameters of such a material is its density. It can vary from 30 to 40 kg per cube for roof insulation. For partitions, it is better to use denser sheets.

There are alternative insulation options, but today basalt mineral wool is one of the most popular solutions.

At the final stage of production of this material, various technological innovations are used to obtain some useful properties.

For example, the absence of dust and debris during installation, which allows you to work with minimal protection.
In order to have a general idea of ​​the amount of money that will need to be spent on mineral wool insulation, we will make small calculations for a room of 70 m2.

Payment

The price of one standard roll of mineral wool is about 1600-1700 rubles. It contains 6 m2, so in your case you will need 12 rolls, in total giving: 12 * 6 = 72 (m2), and the remaining 2 m2 will remain in reserve. The minimum purchase price is 19,200 rubles, the maximum will be 20,400 rubles. Inside one package is a roll 1 m wide and 6 m long. The material is 5 cm thick and 10 kg in weight.
