Technology of insulating a house with basalt wool
An energy-efficient house is a dream that can become a reality. Insulating with basalt wool helps to preserve maximum heat inside the premises, protects against even the harshest frost, and contributes to heating cost savings. Experts from “Modul-Prefab” company will explain how this thermal insulation technology works.
What is basalt wool?
Basalt mineral wool is a thermal insulation material made from basalt stone. It is considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly materials.
Basalt wool is also:
A natural raw material that is processed by heating to high temperatures and blowing with air streams to form fibers. These fibers are then arranged into panels, which are used for insulating the external walls of a house.
Basalt wool helps effectively eliminate the main sources of heat loss in a building, such as:
- Cracks;
- Gaps;
- “Cold bridges”;
- Joints, etc.
This insulation material can be used on all types of wall materials during construction of structures and buildings for various purposes, from commercial and industrial to residential premises.
Advantages of using basalt wool for wall insulation in a house
Basalt panels are easy to install. Insulating the walls of a house with this material takes minimal time, allowing you to enjoy the results quickly. The only drawback of basalt wool is its relatively high cost. However, the price is fully justified by the quality of the material. Additionally, basalt wool has the following features:
- High vapor permeability. The material allows insulated walls to "breathe" and is resistant to the appearance of mold and mildew.
- Environmental safety. Basalt wool is safe for humans and the environment. It does not emit harmful substances or gases during installation or use.
- Fire resistance. This insulation material does not ignite and prevents the further spread of fire within the premises.
- High sound and thermal insulation, which is crucial for private houses.
- Durability — the insulation retains its characteristics for decades without the need for replacement.
