What is a Rockwool heater?
The material surpasses its analogs in many ways. Despite this, the insulation Rockwool of natural origin, has a flint molecular structure. It should be taken into account that it is possible to use the material even in cases when it is a question of such buildings as medical institutions, maternity homes, kindergartens. All this is because we are dealing with a safe and environmentally friendly insulation.
Often, technologists call a Rockwool basalt heater rock wool, because the production takes place according to the principle of congealing of rocks after a volcanic eruption. And in fact - the stone ore as a result of the melting process at high temperature acquires after cooling the necessary properties. That's why they say boldly about ecological purity. The structure is fibrous. Durability is very high, the service life is practically unlimited, reuse is possible, but in practice this is extremely rare due to the complexity of the dismantling of cotton wool.
The main advantage of Rockwool mineral insulation is that it provides double protection at once: firstly, it is a heat-saving effect;secondly, soundproofing. It should be noted that the level of outdoor noise is reduced many times. The room will always be quiet and cozy. As evidenced by the positive feedback on this material. At a high level of noise inside the room( if it is, for example, a music studio), there will be no resonance of the walls, as the fibrous structure of the insulator absorbs sound waves to the full, extinguishes them, not allowing the spread of vibrations. Let's consider the advantages of the material in more detail.
Technical characteristics Rockwool
Here are the main technical characteristics of the heater. As an example, choose one of the most popular products from Rockwool - the Buttes Facade. Of course, one must understand that other subspecies have slightly changed parameters, but the spread is not significant. So:
- density is 145 kg / m3;
- thermal conductivity( λ25 / λА / λB) - 0.037 /0.042/ 0.045 W / m · K;
- compressive strength( deformation of 10%) - 45 kPa;
- peel strength - 15 kPa;
- vapor permeability - 0.3 mg / m · h · Pa.
Advantages of
The first positive property can be determined by high fire safety. Logically, the material based on silicon is not flammable. Of course, this is a very important criterion for the insulation, as the previous heaters were the cause of many fires that could not be stopped, since insulation is always located in the piers - in the most inaccessible places. In addition, during burning rock wool simply melts( when reaching ultra-high temperatures: 1100 ° C and above), and most importantly - does not release toxic substances and carbon monoxide. In general, such cotton wool does not have a smell, which is also an excellent moment.
The durability of the Rockwool heater, as in the photo, is achieved by the fact that the fibers of the material have a specific shape, they seem to spring. This allows you not to experience significant deformation. Experts often note high durability, safety. The material does not lose properties very long. It should be added that Rockwool prevents the penetration of moisture through and into itself, which means that it is not required to use additional waterproofing. Of course, it is not subject to destruction by biological aggressors. Insects are not planted in the thickness, mold, rotting, etc. are excluded.
Also to the pluses can be attributed a relatively small cost of insulation Rockwool. It is much more profitable to use this material, since the price-quality ratio is at an altitude here. There are practically no shortcomings, the only thing that can be said is that the material requires careful treatment and storage. Installation should be done accurately, it is advisable to invite for this professional worker, as only in this case it can be guaranteed that your house will be protected from cold and extraneous noise.
