Reviews
Tanya n, Lipetsk
To insulate the floor of the attic of a country house, Izorok slabs 1 x 0.6 m and 5 cm thick were taken. They were laid in two layers with a shift (to close the seams). For a floor area of 125 m2, 47 packages of 8 sheets were purchased.
During the preparation process, the slabs were cut using a paper knife. Cotton wool is very scratchy, so cutting and laying was carried out in respirators, rubber boots and gloves. A vapor barrier was installed on both sides of the insulation layer (material from the same manufacturer was used). This is done to minimize the likelihood of moisture getting into the mineral wool. Based on the results, I can note good sound insulation. Now we wait for winter to determine thermal efficiency.

I bought Izorok to insulate the walls and floor of the balcony. I chose it as the most inexpensive (360 rubles per package per 4 m2). I immediately noticed the light weight and the lady carried the purchase herself. The material is soft to the touch and easily deformed. I think to use wind and vapor protection for reliable thermal insulation.

In my line of work, I often come across the insulation of premises. Many clients believe that the more expensive the better. But among budget products it is worth noting Isorok mineral wool. It is presented in a wide range, so everyone can easily choose the desired option. Mineral wool is easy to work with, it practically does not prick.

I had long heard about Izorok insulation, and when it came time to insulate the facade, I chose it. It does not rot, is not flammable, and is not eaten by rodents (which is especially important for private buildings). The material provides good sound insulation and is suitable for facades, roofing systems, partitions and ceilings. And what’s even nicer is that all this is at a low cost.
I purchased standard sheets 100*50*5 cm. I laid them in two layers to cover the cold bridges. On top is siding. I would like to point out right away that in order to obtain decent insulation, it is important to follow the basic rules - to organize high-quality vapor barrier and wind protection.
I got a decent result. The house became much warmer in cold weather with lower heating costs, and cooler in hot weather.

This material from the manufacturer Izorok contains non-flammable stone wool, which also has a high level of moisture resistance. The form of the material is presented in the form of plates. Thanks to this heat-insulating product, it is possible to reduce the amount of heat loss from various types of foundations (concrete or reinforced concrete structures, self-leveling, electric, water floors and similar structures).
The cost of this insulation product is 130 rubles per square meter.
Features of ISOROC mineral wool
Thermal insulation materials ISOROC
ISOROC mineral wool is made from natural materials, consists of fibers with air between them, and has a low thermal conductivity coefficient. The material has a high melting point, is a fire-resistant material, prevents the spread of fire and can be successfully used for installation in a boiler room or in fire-fighting structures.
The company's product range includes insulation materials of various densities made from environmentally friendly materials. Heavy slabs, thanks to the strong connection of fibers, can withstand quite significant loads and are often used to insulate flat roofs. Treatment with water-repellent compounds during production increases the water-repellent characteristics of Isorok insulation.
The disadvantages of the material include deterioration of thermal insulation when wet; during installation, it is necessary to carefully vapor-waterproof the structure. It is also possible for light grades of cotton wool to slip off vertical surfaces over time. The product range includes more than 20 brands of ISOROC insulation, manufactured in rolls and slabs, which differ in their basic properties and purpose.
IZOVOL Acoustic “Noise Protection”
Izovol “Protection from Noise” on a basalt basis is one of the most effective sound-absorbing building materials in the class.
Mandatory quality control of each slab ensures consistently high acoustic and consumer properties of this product. Research and development of the IZOVOL company have shown that frame partitions made of plasterboard sheets on a metal or wooden frame are the most effective way to protect against noise both during construction and reconstruction of buildings and structures for various purposes!
The randomly directed structure of basalt fibers of IZOVOL stone wool is the best barrier to sound waves and completely prevents their propagation, which contributes to a comfortable stay in the room and has a beneficial effect on people’s well-being.
IZOVOL materials are indispensable when arranging acoustic interior partitions and coverings of all types. The use of IZOVOL products ensures ideal comfort indoors, thanks to the unique properties of highly efficient insulation, its low density and fibrous structure, improves the functional characteristics and hygiene of the premises, and, consequently, improves the quality of life in general.

Advantages and disadvantages of the material
Compared to most insulation materials, basalt thermal insulation from Isoroc has a number of advantages, including:
- high hydrophobicity;
- good resistance to external negative influences (mechanical and natural);
- ease of installation and operation;
- environmental friendliness;
- light weight.
In addition, it does not deform, does not wrinkle over time, microorganisms do not multiply on it, and insects and rodents prefer to stay away from it. Thanks to all this, basalt insulation has a long service life and does not require replacement for a long time.
As for the disadvantages, they can only include the fairly high cost of the material.
The main advantages of Izovol insulation
There are many advantages, let’s briefly consider the main ones.
- The material is made from high quality gabbro-basalt rock.
- Another advantage is the production technology, which distinguishes Izovol from its competitors. The bottom line is this: stone wool is not melted in blast furnaces - gas is used for the melt, due to which the quality of the final material increases significantly. Special units transform the molten mass (and its consistency resembles liquid lava) into basalt threads, from which, in turn, insulation slabs are created.
- As for the chemical and physical properties of the material, they allow it to be used not only for insulation, but also for fire insulation.
- In this regard, Izovol can be used in those structures and buildings that have many elements made of wood. This significantly increases the degree of fire safety, since the described insulation is also fireproof.
- Basalt wool “survives” even the direct impact of a flame without any problems; it does not deform even at 800 degrees.
- Another advantage of insulation is its durability. The service life is at least fifty years.
- It is also resistant to various types of chemically aggressive environments, rodents, harmful bacteria, atmospheric conditions, and the material has excellent mechanical strength.
- In addition to its direct purpose, Izovol insulation can also be used for sound insulation. This is explained by the fact that the slabs, as noted above, consist of basalt threads arranged randomly. Because of this, sound penetrating into the material is reflected a large number of times and eventually attenuates. After all, water, as is known, conducts heat well, therefore, its presence in the thermal insulating layer is extremely undesirable.
- Moisture resistant. The use of special additives allows the material to retain its original properties at high levels of humidity, and also to absorb up to 1 percent (when compared with the volume of insulation) of liquid.
- Affordable price (we'll talk about this in more detail a little later).
- Good vapor permeability, thanks to which moisture from the room evaporates freely, while the structure itself remains dry.
- Finally, the material has excellent thermal insulation characteristics. Its thermal conductivity averages 0.033-0.039 W/μ, thanks to which (at least according to user reviews) walls, roofs or ceilings can be effectively insulated even with a relatively small thickness of the material.
Note! Izolon, as we found out, is made exclusively from natural raw materials, so it is absolutely safe for health. It can be used to perform internal thermal insulation in hospitals, kindergartens and schools
