What is Izoplat wood fiber insulation, how it is made, types of material, technical characteristics, pros, cons and do-it-yourself installation features.

Description and production of wood fiber insulation


Wood fiber insulation from Isoplat is a special type of thermal insulation that can be used as a building material as well. Insulation under the Isoplaat trademark is produced by the Estonian company Skano.

This material is produced using the technology of drying or pressing a wood-fiber "carpet". In this case, wood waste is used - shavings, sawdust, etc. The ground raw material is treated with water and folded into a "carpet". After that, it is compacted under the influence of a press so that sheets are formed and the production of lignin begins.

If necessary, chemical substances are introduced into the composition of fiberboard that improve certain characteristics of the material. However, for gluing Isoplat plates, adhesive compositions containing harmful phenol-formaldehyde compounds are not used. The fibers are connected to each other due to the natural resins that wood contains. The structure of the finished material is similar to felt.

Further, the material is dried for several hours. Finished slabs are shaped on a cutting machine. The standard size is 2700x1200 millimeters. Thickness can be 10, 12 and 25 millimeters. At the same time, one of the sides of the plate is smooth, which allows it to be used for fine finishing.

Wood fiber insulation Isoplat is a completely homogeneous natural sound and heat insulator. It has sufficient strength for frame housing construction. Soft fiberboards are among the leading windproof materials in the Baltic and Scandinavian countries. In addition, they are considered an alternative to drywall.

Izoplat is used both in residential buildings and in seasonal buildings (dachas, country houses). Also, for greater efficiency, it is used in multilayer structures as a sound-absorbing soft or lining material in combination with hard sound-reflecting sheets.

Fiberboard insulation can be used to insulate roofs (usually chopped), walls, ceilings, floors. It is also used as a substrate for laminate or parquet, which is called "floating". Isoplat is easy to process and saw, which guarantees an accurate fit of the boards.

The main varieties of Isoplat


You can choose Isoplat plates to suit your needs, using a wide range of this universal heat insulator:
  • Roof slabs. They are used for installation under tiles on rafters. With their help, you can perfectly drown out the noise of precipitation and insulate the roof. At the ends there is a milled spike-groove. The material is additionally impregnated with paraffin to achieve maximum non-hygroscopicity.
  • Wind protection plates. Suitable for sound and heat insulation of external surfaces under a ventilated facade. Impregnated with paraffin and completely waterproof. They are used, as a rule, for warming wooden, frame houses, from a bar, as well as attics.
  • Substrate for laminate. This type of fiberboard Isoplat is used for laying under parquet and laminate as an additional layer of insulation. Products are able to even out certain floor defects, and it is not necessary to use a screed or plywood.
  • Thermal and sound insulation boards Isoplaat. Their sphere of use is the internal walls of the house, as well as ceilings. Most often, such plates are used instead of drywall sheets. They perfectly protect against the penetration of cold and extraneous noise. In addition, wallpaper can be glued directly on them.
In addition, Isotex panels are considered a separate group of Isoplat wood fiber insulation. They have the same structure as the first ones, but are covered with a decorative layer, which allows them to be used as the final finishing material for walls and ceilings.

Specifications


Since there are several varieties of Isoplat plates, the material cannot have uniform technical characteristics. Consider the properties of the most common universal heat and sound insulation products:
  1. Thermal conductivity. According to this indicator, the slabs are close to stone wool. The coefficient is 0.045 W/(m*K). A small thickness allows you to save space when insulated with this material.
  2. moisture resistance. Almost all products are treated with paraffin, which makes them non-hygroscopic and resistant to moisture. Even a small percentage of moisture absorbed by Isoplat will not impair the thermal insulation characteristics of the material. Wood will accumulate moisture, but the interfiber space, which is responsible for thermal conductivity, will remain free of water.
  3. Vapor permeability. Natural insulation allows the walls to "breathe". It prevents condensation from accumulating on the surface, removing moisture to the outside.
  4. Soundproofing. The material is able to absorb from 23 to 26 decibels of acoustic noise.
  5. Density. For Isoplat, this figure is from 230 to 270 kilograms per cubic meter.
  6. Compressive strength. Plates have an indicator of about 200 kPa. This allows them to be used for insulating coatings under a soft roof.
  7. fire resistance. Izoplat universal products comply with all fire safety standards. Despite the fact that wood is the raw material for their production, the special structure of the material does not allow fire to spread. On the surface of the insulation, when exposed to a flame, ash will form, blocking the access of oxygen to the place of ignition.
  8. Biological stability. During the production of boards, wood is deprived of components such as starch, sugars, which serve as food for microorganisms. Therefore, mold, rot and fungi will not appear on the insulation.
  9. Environmental friendliness. In the manufacturing process of this heat insulator, harmful chemicals and glue are not used. Therefore, the material will not emit volatile compounds during installation and during use.
  10. Lifetime. The manufacturer sets a warranty period for the plates - 50 years. With proper installation, Isoplat can be used for longer.

Advantages of Isoplat plates


This versatile material for insulation has a lot of advantages. Consider them:
  • Ecological cleanliness of the insulation. The raw material for Isoplat is wood. There are no binders in the composition, the fibers are naturally intertwined and held together by natural resins. Therefore, it is important to use such material for the insulation of wooden eco-houses, as well as rooms in which children and allergy sufferers live.
  • Excellent vapor permeability. Isoplat is able to regulate the humidity inside the building, create a favorable microclimate.
  • High thermal inertia. Plates are capable of accumulating and releasing heat within 14 hours. Thus, the temperature inside the building is stabilized. Temperature fluctuations will not be felt as much when lowering or raising it outside the room.
  • Not subject to shrinkage or destruction. Unlike a large number of synthetic insulations, fiberboards do not shrink or deform over time.
  • Windproof ability. Isoplat plates can also be installed as wind protection. The fiber is located inside the material in layers, along which air pores are randomly concentrated. Getting into the space between the fibers, the outside air loses pressure and speed.
  • Filter properties. Isoplat, due to its structure, is able to retain harmful compounds. This is especially true when using plates in structures with insulation such as expanded polystyrene, mineral wool, which can emit formaldehyde, styrene and other toxic chemicals.
  • Ease of installation. No special equipment is required to install the products. All work can be done by hand. Convenient thorn-groove system greatly facilitates the installation process.

Disadvantages of fibreboard Izoplat


Before you buy this heater, you should study the reviews on the Internet and pay attention to the disadvantages of Isoplat:
  • Increased softness when exposed to moisture. If the material is exposed to water or humid air for a long time, it will become softer. However, when it dries, it will regain its strength and shape again.
  • Relatively high price. Natural materials tend to be more expensive. Isoplat is no exception. Therefore, it will cost an order of magnitude more expensive than artificial insulation.

Price and manufacturer of Isoplat plates


The rights to the trade name Isoplaat belong to the Estonian company Skano. Therefore, if you meet on sale a material with a similar name, but from another manufacturer, then you have a fake.

The price of fiberboard insulation may vary depending on its type. The average cost in Russia is as follows:

  1. Heat and sound insulating plate Izoplat - from 200 to 500 rubles per square meter;
  2. Izoplat windproof plate - from 290 to 1150 rubles per square;
  3. Heat-insulating substrate for Izoplat laminate - from 115 to 200 rubles per square meter;
  4. Facade plates Izoplat - from 1000 to 1200 rubles per square.

Brief instructions for installing insulation Izoplat


Before proceeding with the installation of heat and sound insulating wood fiber boards, it is recommended to hold them in the room where the work is planned for a couple of days. In this way, the moisture content of the material will equalize with the air humidity in the building.

From the tools you will need building brackets or self-tapping screws with a flat head, a knife, a building level, a hammer or a screwdriver.

Isoplaat slabs can be mounted on pre-installed battens or glued directly to the wall surface.

We work according to the following scheme:

  • If you decide to make a crate, then its step should be from 30 to 60 centimeters, depending on the thickness of the slab.
  • For fastening to concrete and brick surfaces, you can use various types of glue - for thermal insulation, gypsum-based, for drywall, as well as polyurethane mounting foam.
  • Glue is applied to the rough surface of the product in stripes or dots along the perimeter. We press the insulation to the surface.
  • Self-tapping screws or nails when attaching the plates to the crate should be flush with the surface and not protrude above the insulation.
  • We fix the places of fasteners with putty.
  • If you fixed the plates with glue, then before decorating it is recommended to go over them twice with glue or a primer (if painting is planned).
As for the heat-insulating substrate Izoplat, for its installation it is not necessary to use either glue or fasteners. It is laid in a floating way using a tenon-groove system.

Watch the video review of Isoplata:


Isoplaat wood fiber insulation is an effective thermal insulation material, which is valued for its environmental friendliness, low thermal conductivity and practicality. It can be placed on any surface, both indoors and outdoors. Also, Isoplat is a new generation of laminate underlays that perfectly retain heat. Requirements:
  • ISOPLATE sheets are used for finishes, alignment, raise soundproofing and thermal insulation in rooms with dry and normal humidity levels.
  • Installation must be carried out during the finishing works, i.e. after all "wet" processes are completed, which can significantly increase the humidity in the room. Electrical and plumbing work has also been completed.
  • Works should be carried out in dry and normal conditions of humidity.
  • Before installation, ISOPLATE sheets should be kept for 1-2 days in the same room in order to equalize the humidity. Put the sheets vertically, place gaskets for air access and avoid the occurrence of sheet curvature.
  • If during installation on a frame structure made of a wooden beam (on a crate) there is a horizontal joint of two sheets, then their fastening and joining should be carried out on a horizontal bar (mortgage). Adjacent horizontal joints must be vertically offset relative to each other.
  • When finishing the openings of windows and doors, do not allow the joining of sheets at the corners of the opening.
  • Sheet ISOPLATE has one side smooth, the other wavy. Mounting is done with the smooth side facing out. Those. the smooth side of the thermal insulation wall panel goes under the finish.
  • Ceiling sheathing with ISOPLATE sheets provides for mandatory fastening with nails in increments of 2 times more often than for a wall. The use of wide hats of the "bug" type is recommended. For the best soundproofing effect, a multilayer sheathing is recommended, for example, a GKL sheet is attached close to Isoplat, further supporting the ISOPLATE sheet and enhancing the insulating effect. See the Soundproofing section.
  • The placement of electrical wiring in the space of the skin frame should exclude the possibility of damage to it by fasteners (nails, staples, etc.)

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab on a vertical wooden frame (crate)

For the manufacture of a frame structure, a wooden beam with a section of at least 45x45 is used as a partition or sheathing of the base wall. The step of the frame racks depends on the thickness of the plate. Fastening is carried out with galvanized nails with a wide head or construction staples made of stainless steel or coated. The length of the fastener depends on the thickness of the plate. Along the perimeter of the sheet, nails are nailed every 100-150 mm, inside the sheet, every 300 mm. Indent from the edge of the sheet 10-20 mm.

Plate ISOPLAT 12 mm thick.

  • The step of the frame racks (center-to-center distance) is 280 mm.
  • The length of the nails is not less than 40 mm, the length of the staple is not less than 32 mm.

ISOPLATE plate 25 mm thick.

  • The step of the frame racks (center-to-center distance) is 600 mm.
  • The length of the nails is not less than 70 mm, the length of the staple is not less than 58 mm.

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab to a stone (concrete, etc.) wall with glue. Frameless mounting

If the stone surface is sufficiently even, then you can do without the crate. Sheets of Isoplats are glued directly to the wall, due to which the interior space of the room is won.

A simple and quick way is polyurethane mounting foam (Macroflex type, etc.) or polyurethane sealant (Tytan Industry PU type, etc.).

Glue selection:

- for experienced craftsmen, drywall glue (gypsum or cement-based dry mix, brand of your choice) or mineral wool glue (cement-based, for example, CERESIT ST 190 or BAUMIT StarKontakt).

- the simplest and most effective way is polyurethane mounting foam (for example, MACROFLEX, PENOSIL, etc.).

Glue can be applied both on the wall and on the sheet. Depends on the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. For example, if the base is even, the adhesive is applied to the sheet in a 50 mm wide strip with a notched trowel around the perimeter and three rows inside the sheet. If the base is uneven, the adhesive is applied in a thick layer of at least 10 mm, as shown in the photo or on the wall with plaques.

Foam is applied to the sheet along the perimeter and three rows along the length inside the sheet. The distance between the rows of foam is approximately 30 cm. The indentation from the edge of the sheet is 3 cm. The foam can also be applied in a zigzag pattern, as shown in the photo. For a sheet with a thickness of 12 mm, in order to prevent subsequent swelling of a thin sheet, wait a few minutes after applying the foam so that the foam expands as much as possible.

Then the ISOPLATE sheet is lifted, installed on 10-12 mm pads, pressed against the wall and leveled. The sheet must be pressed against the surface to be bonded for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended to additionally press the glued sheet to the wall with screws. At least 9 pcs. per sheet 3 in a row. Also, the screws will help to fit the joints of the two sheets. After the glue has dried, the screws can be unscrewed. Fill the voids in the joints with glue or foam to prevent the formation of cracks at the joints after puttying. When using glue or foam, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations: types of surfaces to be glued, adhesion time, pressing time, etc.

Before the subsequent (finishing) finishing, it is necessary to wait for the complete drying of the sheet for at least 24 hours.

Attention! Usually the edge sheets on the pallet (applies to thin sheets 12 mm thick) may have slight surface distortions due to the high elasticity and natural properties of the wood. The sheet is easily straightened when mounted on a frame structure, or when laid on a floor or ceiling as an insulating absorbing layer in a multilayer structure in combination with rigid sheets, such as plasterboard. For gluing on the wall, it is recommended to slightly moisten such sheets with a hand sprayer, lay them on a solid, straight base or on the floor and press them down with a small load from above. Leave for 24 hours.

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab on the ceiling

On the ceiling, Isoplat sheets are recommended to be mounted on a wooden frame or metal profile. The pitch of the posts and the length of the fasteners are the same as for mounting on a wooden frame, indicated above. The fastening step is twice as often as on a vertical frame (wall). Fasteners: wide-headed nails or bug-headed screws. Then, a GKL sheet is mounted on top of the Isoplat sheet. Further finishing of the GKL sheet is carried out in the usual manner. It is not recommended to glue the Isoplat sheet to the ceiling.

Preparation of ISOPLATE sheet for finishing

Puttying joints is carried out using a reinforcing mesh ordinary putty (for example, the brand does not matter, but it is advisable to choose a ready-made one in plastic buckets, since there is an optimal amount of water). First, along the joints of the installed sheets, use sandpaper to make a recess of 2-3 mm and a width of 50-60 mm. The usual putty is applied in the joint area of ​​the sheets to the width produced, the reinforcing tape is laid along the joint and smoothed with a spatula while removing excess putty. Do not allow the putty to be completely squeezed out from under the tape. After the first layer of putty has dried (12-24 hours), a covering layer is applied. Recesses formed by nail heads or staples must also be puttied. After drying, the puttied surface is sanded and the entire surface is primed with water-based paint. The smooth surface of the ISOPLATE board is used for wallpapering, painting, and finishing with plaster. For best results in case of high surface quality requirements, usually, continuous finishing puttying is carried out. Then the surface prime with water-based paint. Further finishing of the puttied and primed surface is carried out according to the standard method.

A primer with water-based paint gives a white base for wallpaper. Plus: the brown dark background will not be visible through the wallpaper. Another plus: in the case of re-gluing the wallpaper, it will be easy to soak and remove the old wallpaper without damaging the surface of the plate. No need to re-sand.

Description of the installation of ISOPLATE sheets to schemes 1-5

  1. Fasteners are used on a frame structure or partition made of wooden beams: galvanized nails with a wide hat or staples. The distance from the edge of the plate is 10-20 mm. The fastening pitch along the edge is 100-150 mm and in the center of the sheet is 280 mm.
  2. ISOPLATE sheets are nailed to a wooden surface or stapled according to a scheme similar to fasteners on a wooden frame. The distance between the rows of fasteners is 300-400 mm.
  3. Fasteners for ISOPLATE sheets 12 and 25 mm thick, respectively. Nails and staples.
  4. For lining stone (concrete) walls with ISOPLATE sheets, polyurethane mounting foam (for example, MACROFLEX, PENOSIL) or plasterboard glue (for example, the brand does not matter) is used. The main wall to be lined must be smooth and dust-free (primed). The adhesive is applied to the reverse side of the boards at a distance of 30 mm from the edge of the board. Glue dots with a diameter of 50 mm are applied in the central part of the slab with a pitch of approximately 280 mm.
  5. ISOPLATE sheets are nailed to a wooden wall (beam) in increments of 300-400 mm according to the same principle as to a wooden crate.

Installation of a windproof plate Isoplat

The Scandinavian windproof plate ISOPLAAT is a sheet with a format of 2700x1200 mm. Thickness 12 or 25 mm. The edge of the sheet is straight.

ISOPLATE sheets are installed vertically to the frame structure of the wall (for example, the wall of a frame house from a board 150x50 or a crate on aerated concrete from a bar 50x50 mm). In this case, one sheet covers three vertical racks. The distance between the frame posts from their centers should be 600 mm (see drawing 1).

ISOPLATE sheets are nailed with galvanized nails or professional construction staples along the entire perimeter of the sheet: vertically to the frame posts, horizontally to the strapping elements or to the mortgages. And in the center of the sheet, where auxiliary markings are applied in the center on the painted side.

Horizontal joints of two sheets that do not fall on the strapping element are reinforced with a mortgage (board / beam at least 50x50 mm), to which the edges of the plates are nailed. The mortgage is installed on the inside of the frame structure between the vertical posts and is attached to them with metal corners. Plates are fastened using nails or staples. To facilitate installation, there is a longitudinal strip in the center of the sheet.

The height of the plinth must be at least 40 cm.

If a ventilated facade (lining, siding, etc.) is planned as a decorative wall cladding, it is recommended to install wooden bars or slats (battens) immediately after installing the slabs to give additional rigidity (as shown in the photo on the left, also pay attention to plinth height).

Wind protection boards should be covered with external facade cladding no later than one month after their installation. To ensure moisture exchange between the slab and the skin, an air (ventilated) gap 20-50 mm wide is created.

Mounting 12 mm wind protection plate

Galvanized nails with a wide head at least 40 mm long or staples at least 32 mm long are used (see drawing 3). The nailing distance from the edge of the slab slab must be at least 10 mm. Nails/staples along the edge of the slab are hammered at intervals of 100 mm and in the center of the slab at intervals of 200 mm (see drawing 4). Markings are applied in the center of the plate to facilitate fasteners. The consumption of nails is approximately 25 pieces/m 2 .

Mounting 25 mm wind protection plate

Galvanized nails with a wide head at least 70 mm long or staples at least 58 mm long are used (see drawing 3). The nailing distance from the edge of the slab must be at least 10 mm. Nails/staples are hammered along the edge of the slab with an interval of 100-150 mm and in the center of the slab with a pitch of 280 mm (see Fig. 5). Markings are applied in the center of the plate to facilitate fasteners. The consumption of nails is approximately 15 pieces/m 2 .

Roof Mounting

In the roof structure, the universal ISOPLAT thorn-groove slab, in addition to the usual functions of wind and hydro protection, additionally performs seamless insulation over the entire area, insulation of cold bridges, directly wooden rafters, and most importantly for the attic - it provides effective sound insulation from precipitation, protecting the sleep of homeowners. Also, due to the high energy intensity, the stove protects the attic from summer overheating.

In the design of the roofing pie, the universal ISOPLATE thorn-groove board takes the place of the wind and waterproofing layer.

Work order

1. Fasten the boards directly to the rafters from the bottom up, in horizontal rows. Installation starts from the bottom row from left to right (Fig. 1). The spike looks up. One sheet must cover at least two rafters. At the end of the lining of the first row, the cut off piece of the outer slab goes to the beginning of the second row (Fig. 2). The vertical joints of adjacent rows are displaced with dressing (like brickwork).

2. Install the crate. The lathing is fastened through Isoplat to the rafters.

3. Further work is carried out in the usual manner, depending on the selected roofing material. Two typical schemes with flexible (soft) tiles and metal tiles are presented below.

Between the wind and hydroprotective layer and the roofing material (tiles), it is necessary to arrange a ventilated gap (air) to allow moisture to escape from the roof structure.

Table with values

Roof slope - at least 20 degrees

The distance between the rafters is 600-700 mm

Ventilated gap - not less than 20 mm

Fasteners - Fe / Zn nail at least 3x70 mm

Indent from the edge - 35 mm (so as not to damage the tenon groove)

Fastening pitch - along the edge 100-150 mm, in the center 200 mm

Fastener consumption - 18 pcs/sheet

Sealing of extreme joints - bitumen-rubber tape, polyurethane sealant

Installation of the substrate under the laminate Izoplat

Before installation, it is recommended to unpack the ISOPLATE substrate and keep it for a day in the same room where they will be installed in order to equalize the humidity of the plate with the humidity of the surrounding air. This will reduce the subsequent "play" of the plates after they are installed. To do this, the plates are installed on the end, and strips are installed between them to ensure air movement.

The substrate sheets are laid on the main surface (subfloor) to each other, and an expansion gap of 5-10 mm is left between the wall and the slabs. For this, cut off pieces of the substrate are suitable, which are removed after laying and fixing the plates. Between the plates it is necessary to leave a gap of 1-2 mm. If necessary (for example, under linoleum), sheets can be attached to the main surface either by gluing at several points, or with staples or nails.

The underlay is laid at an angle of 45° to the floor joints. This prevents the joints of the laminate or parquet from matching with the joints of the underlayment. The laminate is laid directly on the substrate sheets.

Since ISOTEX panels “breathe”, it is recommended to open the package and keep them indoors for 24 hours. For installation, you will need a square, a knife, a tape measure, a pencil, staples for a stapler and the actual construction stapler. Mounting adhesive "liquid nails" is used for gluing to the walls. If the ceiling or walls are made of wood, gypsum boards or concrete without significant curvature, ISOTEX panels are attached directly to the surface using glue or staples. If the surfaces (walls or ceiling) have large irregularities, a wooden crate is installed under the panels. The panels are easily cut with a sharp carpet knife along a metal ruler. Cut from the side of the decorative coating. Also, any woodworking tools are suitable for cutting: a jigsaw, a circular saw, etc.

IZOTEX wall panels with paper coating

Mounting on a crate

For the crate, wooden planks with a section of 19x44 mm are used. Planks must be installed in 290 mm increments (measured between the centers of the planks). The panels are fastened to the crate with staples 10-14 mm, intervals not more than 100 mm.

Glue mounting

Apply glue strips on the back side of the panel at a distance of about 20 mm from the edges, and in the center of the panel - drops of glue every 200 mm. Press the panel against the wall slightly away from the adjacent panel and slide it sideways so that the adhesive surface is even.

Ceiling panels

Installation on the crate

To carry out the crate on which the ceiling panels are installed, dry wooden slats 50-100 mm wide are used. They are installed at a distance of 280 mm between the midpoints (axes) of the rails (Figure 1). Attach the plates to the rails with brackets, making sure that the distance between them is at least 100 mm. The length of the bracket is 10-14 mm. The end panel must be fastened with nails or screws so that the wall panel closes them. The panels are fastened along the batten and the best result is obtained if the direction of illumination coincides with the direction of the seams.

Installation with glue

Apply glue strips at a distance of 20 mm from the edge of the plate and a drop of glue in the middle of the panel in 200 mm increments (Figure 4). Attach the panel to the ceiling or wall close to the previous plate, push it into the tongue so that the glue slide is smeared and press without additional fastening. Panels with a textile coating are installed on glue or construction clamps directed in different directions. Exact installation instructions are in the product packaging.

Isoplat plates are Finnish technologies, traditions and quality. They are made from ground softwood.

The connecting link is lignin - a natural component - the juice of coniferous trees, which is released during the production process. No chemical additives or adhesives are used. Therefore, Isoplat plates are 100% environmentally friendly material. In addition, the absence of chemical impregnation and the production of the "wet" method ensures the reliability and durability of the plates at temperature extremes, in humid and cold climates.

Outside insulation with Isoplats

Useful information:

External insulation of houses is carried out with the help of Izoplat windproof plates. Plates are produced with a thickness of 12, 25, 50 mm, size - 2700x1200 mm. The windproof board is waterproof due to the additional impregnation with paraffin. This is a reliable protection against atmospheric humidity and precipitation. In addition to their main function - wind protection - the plates combine the properties of thermal insulation, sound insulation, give additional rigidity to the frame and are a good basis for facade plaster.

Isoplat plates are installed as a windproof layer in a multilayer frame structure under a ventilated facade (block house, Finnish lining, etc.). Additional insulation of the wooden racks of the frame is also necessary. When performing such tasks, a 12 mm plate is used. A plate of 25 mm will add rigidity to the entire structure, insulate both the racks and the entire structure. A slab of 25 mm or more is needed to build an energy efficient house that can be lived in all year round. It is also an excellent replacement for cross-insulation. In addition, slabs from 25 mm can be plastered with BAUMIT StarContact. The design with Isoplat is a more efficient and reliable analogue of the Western European scheme, where film, OSB, polystyrene and insulation from leading manufacturers (for example) are used.

Installation on the frame is as follows.

  • The slabs are applied vertically to the wall so that one slab overlaps three vertical posts. Between the racks should be exactly 600 mm.
  • Further, the plates are nailed with the help of galvanized nails and building brackets around the entire perimeter, as well as in the center (there is a special marking on the green side).
  • At horizontal joints, where there are no strapping elements, it is necessary to reinforce the mortgage (with a board or beam 50x50 mm).
  • The mortgage is attached to the inside of the structure between the vertical posts.
  • The final facade cladding must be made no later than one month after the installation of the Izoplat windscreen.

Also, the Isoplat wind protection can be used for external insulation of the walls of houses made of timber, aerated concrete, brick. Installation does not require a wooden crate. The peculiarity of the plates is that they "breathe", that is, the walls of the house will be reliably protected from dampness, mold and fungus. It does not require an additional vapor barrier layer.

Isoplat is installed instead of the outer skin of the frame structure of the subfloor below. This provides more effective lag insulation, wind protection and support for the main insulation. Laying of plates is also carried out between the lags on pre-prepared bars. This option is applicable if it is not possible to install Isoplat from below, and the logs are not insulated.

Plates are produced both with a straight edge, as well as with a tenon-groove. "Studded" Izoplat can be installed both on walls and on the floor, and most importantly - on the roof. Therefore, they are also called roofing slabs. Installation on the roof is as follows.

  • Plates are attached to the rafters from the bottom up, forming horizontal rows.
  • Installation should start from the bottom row and proceed from left to right. The spike should be directed upwards.
  • One slab covers at least two rafters.
  • After completing the installation of the first row, the remaining piece is cut off and can be used at the beginning of the second row. In this case, the vertical joints of the rows closest to each other will be displaced with dressing (similar to brickwork).
  • After that, the crate is installed. Fastening is carried out through the Isoplat plates directly to the rafters.

The remaining work is carried out in the usual manner, depending on the selected roofing material. Tiles should be laid immediately after the installation of Isoplat. In case of delay, the roof is covered with polyethylene film. Between the windproof layer and the roofing material itself, it is necessary to make a ventilated gap to allow moisture to escape from the structure.

Insulation inside with Isoplat

In addition to windproof boards, the Isoplat product line includes heat and sound insulating boards for interior work. By their properties, they are identical to the first ones, but they do not have paraffin impregnation, so it is not possible to use them outside.

The only feature is that the Izoplat heat and sound insulation board cannot be primed with conventional primers, otherwise it loses its "breathing" properties.

Izoplat thermal and sound insulation boards are used in rooms with dry or normal humidity levels, in country houses and apartments. These plates can be installed on any surface, be it walls, floors or ceilings. They are used both for independent insulation and sound insulation, and in multilayer structures. Ideal for creating partitions. Installation does not require a crate, so working with them is quite easy and simple.

Installation of Isoplat plates is carried out using glue, mounting foam or polyurethane sealant directly to the concrete wall, thus reducing the internal space slightly.

  1. Glue can be applied both on the sheet and immediately on the wall. It depends on the type of glue.
  2. After that, the plate is attached to linings 10-12 mm thick, pressed against the surface and leveled.
  3. Press the sheet for 15 minutes or more. You can also additionally press the sheet with screws. To do this, you need at least 9 pieces (3 in a row). In addition, screws will be useful to fit the board joints.
  4. After complete drying, the screws can be removed.
  5. Gaps at the seams should be filled with foam or glue to avoid cracks in the joints after puttying.
  6. Boards must be completely dry (at least 24 hours) before finishing.

Izoplat heat and sound insulation boards are fastened to the ceiling using a wooden frame or a metal profile. As fasteners, it is convenient to use nails with a wide hat or bug-type screws.

With Isoplat outside and inside you are provided with warmth, silence and comfort.

Insulation with Isoplat, features of thermal insulation, its advantages and disadvantages, rules for installing plates and technologies for their installation using a frame and frameless method.

Features of works on thermal insulation by Isoplat


ISOPLAAT boards are made only from natural raw materials, the composition of which does not provide for the presence of any chemical components and glue. The raw material is wood fibers, which are obtained by grinding coniferous wood and then moistening them to maximum saturation with water. Then the mass is spread evenly and compressed by hot pressing.

Thanks to this treatment, wood fibers release lignin - the only substance that can act as a binder. The presence of this resin in the composition of the raw material eliminates the need to add glue to obtain boards of the required density. For this reason, the finished product is environmentally friendly, beyond doubt.

In addition to compaction, at the pressing stage, a “carpet” of wood fibers is formed, which is then cut into products of standard sizes. The resulting plates have a width of 1200 mm, a length of 2700 mm and a thickness of 8, 10, 12, 25 mm.

Then the products are sent for several hours to undergo hot drying, after which they acquire all the necessary sound and heat insulation properties. To protect against moisture, the outer and inner sides of the plates are treated with paraffin.

A distinctive feature of Isoplat from fiber boards of other types is the presence of a smooth side suitable for finishing. This makes it an advantageous alternative to traditional OSB, drywall or plywood.

Three types of Izoplat plates are used as an insulating coating: sound and heat insulating, windproof and universal products with tongue and groove locks. For external insulation, windproof and heat-insulating plates are used, all of them have a layered structure that provides the material with durability and strength.

The main function of Izoplat thermal insulation products is to protect the building from the cold. The thermal conductivity of such plates, depending on their thickness, is 0.053-0.045 W/m 2 . This indicator determines the amount of heat that passes 1 m 2 of the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe material with a temperature difference of one degree.

Ideally, in frame construction, fibrous insulation should be located between the interior and exterior trim of exterior structures. This approach to the installation of Isoplat plates will make the energy efficiency of the house impeccable. In winter, it will require few resources to heat it, and in summer, insulated walls will perfectly keep cool in the rooms.

A 12 mm thick Isoplat wall covering has the same thermal insulation characteristics as 200 mm brickwork or 450 mm timber. As for the sound absorption of plates of this type, it should be understood that this indicator directly depends on the thickness of the products. The larger it is, the higher the soundproofing of the coating. This is especially true if this parameter is the selection criterion for Isopayment. Using such boards for cladding of external structures, it is possible to reduce sound transmission up to 50%.

The use of windproof panels for wall insulation has certain features. Such Isoplat products are specially designed for the climatic conditions of the North, where damp weather prevails and it is often necessary to block the wind to protect houses.

In this case, the material serves as a heater, wind protection, noise insulation, vapor and hydro barrier for the roofs of buildings, as well as external walls. The resistance of windproof boards to bad weather is ensured by adding a waxy component to the fibrous mass during the production of products. It increases the moisture resistance of the plates, which is extremely important when performing exterior decoration of the house.

Using Izoplat windproof panels, you can easily turn an old cottage into comfortable housing for year-round use. Walls insulated in this way can be plastered or equipped with a ventilated facade.

In order to distinguish windproof boards from other Isoplat insulation materials when choosing a material, you should pay attention to their color: it is dark green on both sides of the products. This marking is specially applied by the manufacturer solely for the convenience of determining the type of material. The size of the windproof plates is 1200x2700 mm, their thickness is 12 or 25 mm, the edge along the perimeter of the plate is straight.

Advantages and disadvantages of Isoplatom insulation


Isoplat plates, being a 100% environmentally friendly material, carry their useful properties both to the enclosing structures of the house and to the people living in it. Therefore, every year an increasing number of developers want to use this particular material for insulating walls, roofs and ceilings.

Among the advantages of such thermal insulation are the following:

  • Isoplatom wall cladding creates acoustic comfort in space, providing reliable sound insulation of rooms from outside noise.
  • Porous insulation is able to regulate the microclimate. Isoplat plates can “breathe”, drawing in excess moisture from the premises and releasing it back when the air dries out due to the operation of heating devices.
  • Isoplatom insulation counteracts the formation of condensate and mold that accompanies it, causing diseases and impaired immunity.
  • The composition of the material does not contain chemicals and glue.
  • The energy intensity of this heater is quite high. By accumulating heat in itself, the insulating layer maintains a stable temperature in the room, does not allow it to quickly cool down in winter and heat up in the summer heat.
  • When installing the insulation plate, it is easy to process. Driving a nail into such a product or screwing a screw is not difficult. The material is easily sawn with an electric jigsaw, hand saw or circular saw.
The disadvantages of Izoplatom insulation for external cladding include the need for careful work with the material: it is rather fragile, you cannot step on the plates and drop them. The product may be damaged by pressure or any impact. In this case, it will have to be replaced or cut off.

Another disadvantage is the lack of protection of the end parts of the plates from moisture. Therefore, after mounting several products on the wall, the places of their joining must be immediately sealed with mounting foam, the excess of which can be cut off the next day.

Rules for the installation of Izoplat plates


In frame construction, Isoplat plates serve as a material designed to close cold bridges. This must be done due to the fact that the wooden elements of the frame have a higher thermal conductivity than the insulation distributed between them (polystyrene foam or mineral wool).

The installation of plates on the walls or the frame of the house is most often carried out in the vertical position of the products, that is, their short sides are located at the foundation of the house or its basement.

Frame elements are mounted with a step of 600 mm. Therefore, the Isoplata plate will be installed between three profiles or bars. This makes it possible to conveniently fix it and eliminate the need for excessive cutting of canvases.

The standard board length of 2700mm makes it easy to sheathe walls 2.7m high or less. If they are higher, there will be a gap between the overlap and the top edge of the skin. In this case, wooden bars are installed between the frame elements from the side of the walls, fixing them at a height of 2.68 m. It becomes possible to fasten the upper part of the mounted panel with screws and build it up higher with the same canvas, but shorter.

The heat-insulating or windproof panel is attached to the base with nails or self-tapping screws. The second method is preferable, since working with a hammer can damage the plate. Due to the fact that it does not differ in particular hardness, self-tapping screws are screwed into it no closer than a distance of 10 mm from the edge of the canvas. Otherwise, the fastener area may crumble.

Additional fixation of the plates is carried out by stuffing wooden bars over the products, which in the future will serve as the basis for the ventilated facade. At the same time, Isoplat can be fixed only in 3 places on the frame elements adjacent to the plate. To fix the products, special staples 40x5.8 mm are used for a pneumatic stapler. When fixing slabs t. 12 mm, the length of screws and nails should be 40 mm, for slabs t. 25 mm - 70 mm.

As a support for mounting Isoplat on the wall, you can use a beam with nails half driven into it. In this case, it is fixed on the element of the lower trim of the crate at the place of the future installation of the slab.

Exterior cladding technology at home by Izoplatom

In areas with mild climatic conditions, a single-layer heat-insulating coating of Izoplat will be enough to insulate houses. But for regions with cold long winters, such insulation of buildings is not enough: this insulation will need to be laid in 2-3 layers.

Preparatory work before installation Isoplata


Isoplat sheets for wall insulation can be installed either on a frame or by gluing directly onto a prepared surface. In the first case, there is no special need for careful alignment of the walls. The frame for sheathing with slabs is made of a wooden beam with a section of 45x45 mm or more, the pitch of the racks depends on the thickness of the products used.

The installation of the bars when they are fixed to the base surface should be controlled by the building level, ensuring that all elements of the crate are in the same plane. In this case, the insulating sheathing will not have pronounced protrusions or depressions, which can greatly facilitate the finishing of the walls.

In the case of gluing sheets, the base surface must be carefully prepared. To do this, concrete and stone walls must be cleaned of the old peeled coating, dirt, stains and dust removed from them, and then cracks, chips and potholes in the surface identified with cement mortar. If necessary, they should be leveled with putty or plaster.

Surface quality control is determined by a two-meter rail applied to the wall in different directions. The gap between them should not exceed 2-3 mm.

Sheathing the house with Isoplat using the frame method


The Isoplatom frame house sheathing technology provides for the sequential execution of several stages of work:
  1. Marking the general level of the skin. Along the perimeter of the house on the elements of the lower trim, you need to draw a line with a marker, which will serve as a guide for mounting the plates. In addition to the marker, a building level and a square should be used for work. With their help, the line will turn out to be strictly horizontal along its entire length.
  2. Marking plates for fasteners. If further wall finishing is planned on Isoplata boards in the form of plastering or other, which does not require the installation of a frame, each product must be marked with a step of 150 mm, corresponding to the fixation points of the panels to the racks of the metal or wooden frame. Such markings should be applied as each next plate is installed.
  3. Installation of Izoplat panels. Installation must begin from the corner of the house. The panel should be mounted with its lower end along the common marking line. The long side of the product must match the corner post of the frame. During installation, each slab must be supported and fastened first in the middle, and then on both sides of it. Docking of panels among themselves should not be carried out closely, but with a distance of 2-3 mm. Such gaps are designed to compensate for changes in the dimensions of products due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity of the environment.
  4. Joint sealing. Compensation gaps between Isoplata panels must be treated with mounting frost and moisture resistant foam or waterproof silicone sealant. After solidification of any of these aggregates, their excess on the surface of the plates must be cut off with a knife.
At the locations of doors and windows, the edges of the mounted plates must exactly repeat the lines of the openings, that is, the products are fixed flush with the corresponding sides of the bars that form holes in the wall.

Sheathing the house with Izoplat in a frameless way


This method is usually used to insulate concrete or stone walls. In this case, the bearing base must be even, and its allowable differences should be calculated within 2-3 mm. This requirement is easiest to fulfill with internal thermal insulation of the room. Therefore, the fastening of Isoplat wall slabs by the frameless method is very rarely used when sheathing a house from the outside.

The technology for installing insulation in this way consists of several sequential steps:

  • Adhesive selection. In this case, a moisture-resistant and frost-resistant binder is used to fix the plates. They can serve as glue Ceresit ST190 or "Baumit Star Contact", the consumption of which is 5-6 kg / m 2. The package contains 25 kg of the mixture. In addition, the boards can be fixed using Macroflex polyurethane mounting foam and its analogues.
  • Glue application. It is made on the rough surface of the panel and the area of ​​the wall to be pasted. The adhesive should be applied in strips and spread over the surface with a notched trowel. The thickness of the binder layer should be 0.3-0.5 mm. Departing from the edge of the plate 25-30 cm, you need to apply the first strip of glue, then, retreating another 20-25 cm, apply the next strip.
  • Plate fixation. After treatment with the composition of both surfaces, the product should be attached to the wall and pressed for a while, which is indicated on the packaging of the adhesive manufacturer. To do this, you can use a board, one end of which rests at an angle against the Isoplat plate, and the other against the wall.
After gluing the panels, their joints must be sealed with a sealing compound, which can be used as silicone paste or mounting foam.

surface finishing


After sheathing the walls with Isoplat, you can proceed to their finishing. First you need to putty the joints between the plates using reinforcing tape.

First, they should be cut with sandpaper to a depth of 2-3 mm and a width of 50 mm. Then putty should be applied to the treated joints, and then a reinforcing tape should be laid on it in the longitudinal direction, smoothing it with a spatula and removing excess mixture.

A day later, when the putty dries, it is possible to apply its continuous layer to the plates, which is also aged until complete polymerization. After that, the coating must be sanded, remove construction dust from it and primed with water-based paint. This will give a good white base for light painting - in this case, the dark background of the insulation will not be visible through it.

In addition to painting, it is possible to mount a ventilated facade on Izoplat insulation boards, using frame bars for its fastening, or to perform decorative plaster.

Warming your home with Isoplat plates is easy to do on your own. The main thing in this business is the observance of technology and accuracy in work. Good luck!

For internal insulation of wooden houses, ISOPLAAT heat-insulating boards (Izoplat) are a universal solution. This vapour-permeable environmentally friendly sound and heat insulating material is suitable for cladding horizontal and vertical surfaces. Plates are produced in size 2700x1200mm, thickness 10/12/25 mm. The surface of one side of the sheet is smooth (for finishing).

Installation of ISOPLAAT boards inside the house

When installing ISOPLAAT boards inside the house on vertical surfaces, it is necessary to install braces between the frame posts. Braces give rigidity to the entire wall structure. The slabs are fastened to the crate or to wooden bases using brackets, to concrete or brick structures - using liquid nails or glue. The adhesive is water based (formaldehyde free).

Thermal insulation boards in 1 or 2 layers are installed on the walls and ceiling, which can also serve as a supporting structure for soft thermal insulation (ecowool). Finishing of surfaces sheathed with ISOPLAAT boards can be any: wallpapering, painting, sheathing with decorative ISOPLAAT panels. It is important to use vapor-permeable materials (primers, adhesives) when preparing surfaces, otherwise the plate will lose its ability to pass vapor.

Due to the porous structure of the boards, they can absorb moisture without changing the original geometric dimensions and losing properties. Well suited for use in country houses of non-permanent residence. They do not crack and retain their properties in unheated houses, subject to constant ventilation.

Floor underlay device

A special underlay is placed on the floor for ISOPLAAT laminate, which has the same characteristics as the heat-insulating board. It can be used both for repairing old and for laying new floors. Levels subfloor surfaces. Thicknesses: 4 / 5 / 7 mm. It can be used under any floor as a substrate, but is more often used under floating parquet or laminate flooring.

The ISOPLAAT substrate withstands mechanical loads up to 20 tons per m2 without deforming.

The substrate is laid on the rough floor, retreating from the wall 10 mm. Can be applied with glue. From above arrange a floor covering.

Installation of ISOPLAAT thermal insulation boards using a substrate

The main advantages of the internal cladding of the contour of the house with ISOPLAAT (Isoplat) slabs:

  • Fully vapor permeable design, which allows the walls to "breathe" and creates a healthy microclimate in the room. In order for the walls to pass steam, it is necessary to use vapor-permeable materials for finishing and exterior cladding of the house;
  • Additional sound and heat insulation walls, floors, ceilings;
  • For soft insulation, they serve as a supporting retaining structure;
  • Align the sheathed surfaces;
  • Light weight, easy to transport, carry and install;
  • Absolutely environmentally friendly material. For insulation and decoration, you can also use eco-friendly materials to create completely environmentally friendly structures;

The house can be completely sheathed with environmentally friendly ISOPLAAT vapor-permeable panels, both outside and inside, while providing additional thermal insulation. Then moisture and condensation will not accumulate in the construction of walls, ceilings and floors, while maintaining the original properties of the insulation and wooden elements in the structures.
