• Rockwool
• Paroc
• Isover
• Knauf
• Ursa
• Izovol

7 leaders of narrow and broad specialization compete for buyers advertising their goods. In contrast, EkspertTsen will try to give an impartial assessment of the thermal insulation material and rank the types of mineral wat, based on their safety, construction advantages, taking into account the average price tag and reviews of actual customers.

Rockwool - stone wool without flaws

Despite its Danish roots, Rockwool has many factories in Russia, which allows the company to offer a range of European quality, but without extra price cheat. The high quality of this mineral wool is confirmed by the builders, consistently choosing the products of the Danish brand during the work.

Rockwool mineral wool is enhanced performance:

• fire safety - Rockwool fibers can withstand up to 1000 degrees with standard data of 600 degrees Celsius;
• absorption of sound and vibrations, so the material is chosen to create noise screens and to increase the acoustic comfort of the premises;
• environmental friendliness - Rockwool has an EcoMaterial Green certificate, although it has long been known that many people dislike mineral wool, attributing to it properties that are dangerous for the environment, human life and health;
• durability without deformation and destruction;
• thermal insulation.

This is, of course, the real Rokvul, buying from unreliable suppliers does not guarantee the above quality.

Izovol is another type of basalt wool, which is in high demand and is used for thermal insulation of walls, roofs and ventilated facades. Possesses excellent physicomechanical and operational characteristics.

• resistance to deformation;
• acoustic comfort;
• a large selection of materials for density;

What mineral wool is better?

Often a capacious analysis of any product at the end allows you to say: "This brand is the best. We recommend him to buy it!»With mineral wool such a conclusion can not be done. Estimates of the quality of products are too subjective, and diametrically opposed reviews can be found about the same product. therefore "techinfus.com" does not dare to name the best producer of mineral wat, but makes the following recommendations:

1. Named 7 brands are really the best in the Russian market and the most popular in the construction of residential buildings and outbuildings, so it is best to buy something from the voiced list.
2. To select the optimal thermal insulation material after reading the article, it is best to conduct your own subjective assessment in the building materials store: see, touch, try on a fracture - in short, understand which thermal insulator is convenient for you to work with.

The combination of these two simple tips will allow you to choose the best for insulation and insulation of the house from external factors. Good shopping and a comfortable winter!
