With the advent of the 21st century, the requirements for construction and the quality of housing being built in general have changed greatly. All buildings and structures being erected must now be well insulated. There are a number of materials that can make this process much easier: Isosoft, Basvul, Ecover, Polinor, Polyfom, etc. Polinor insulation (read reviews on this site) is one of the most popular thermal insulation materials from this series.
The main purpose of thermal insulation materials is as follows:
- protection of load-bearing structures from aggressive environmental influences;
- reduction of heat loss in winter, reduction of heating in summer;
- reducing the harmful effects of severe temperature changes (deformation of power elements, reducing the service life of the structure as a whole).
Thermal insulation materials are divided into three main groups: inorganic, organic and mixed. The most popular in the construction of new buildings are inorganic fiber insulation materials.
POLINOR insulation – technical characteristics
A very successful new thermal insulation product is sprayed liquid polyurethane foam (PPU), which looks like ordinary foam rubber. Single-component POLYNOR insulation is a variety of this group of insulation materials. POLINOR insulation, reviews of which are in the corresponding section, is characterized by the following indicators:
- speed and ease of use;
- increased adhesion relative to most modern building materials;
- economical packaging;
- high performance;
- easy processing of hardened material (paint, plaster, putty).

ECOVER insulation – technical characteristics
Due to the availability of reviews, ECOVER insulation began to attract the attention of many construction companies. It is used as a sound and heat insulation layer in structures that are not subject to heavy loads: attics, internal partitions, attic rooms, floors with load-bearing joists, etc.
The insulation is formed as a result of heat treatment with the addition of modifying additives and a water repellent.
Reviews of ECOVER insulation are mostly positive, as it has unique technical characteristics:
- high sound absorption rates;
- high strength and thermal insulation ability;
- hygroscopicity and low flammability;
- no shrinkage after long use.
Material Specifications
Given the location of the application of mineral wool, the description of its technical characteristics will vary. Below are the main parameters:
- Density - from 25 to 225 kg/m3.
- The thermal conductivity index ranges from 0.035 to 0.042 W/(m*K).
- Flammability class - A1. This level is assigned to those subspecies that are not susceptible to fire, that is, they stop the spread of fire.
- Vapor permeability is about 0.3 mg/(m*h*Pa).
- Moisture absorption - no more than 1% of weight, no more than 2% of the total volume.
ISOSOFT insulation – technical characteristics
ISOSOFT insulation is one of the leaders among European materials that have been awarded an international quality certificate. ISOSOFT insulation: the temperature regime, due to its unique composition, is felt at +5°C (at a time when it is -20°C outside).
ISOSOFT material has a heat-sealed surface, which is practically not reflected in the weight of the product. Compared to conventional warm synthetic insulation, ISOSOFT insulation maintains the temperature regime and therefore does not lose its shape even after long-term use.
It does not cause allergies, is easy to clean, dries quickly and has the effect of a thermos.
Properties of mineral wool sandwich panels
Sandwich panels made of mineral wool are quite popular in construction. The thermal conductivity coefficient of this material is equal to the limit from 0.20 to 0.82 W/m*K. The degree of sound insulation of the material is 24 dB. The shear strength is 100 kPa, as is the compressive strength. The density of products can be equal to the limit from 105 to 125 kg/m3.
The structures do not require the use of special equipment for construction work; they are easily exposed to ultraviolet radiation and temperature changes. Sandwich panels do not rust, they are fire resistant and have excellent heat and sound insulation properties. If the panels are damaged, partial replacement is acceptable. Such structures do not create unnecessary load on the foundation. By visiting the store, you can choose any shade of the panels, which allows you to achieve an excellent aesthetic result.
BASVUL insulation – technical characteristics
High-quality thermal insulation material BASVUL (Baswool) is widely used in the construction of sound and thermal insulation structures, products and systems. BASVUL insulation has only positive reviews from customers, as it meets the highest requirements of the European line of insulation materials.
Technical parameters of Baswool insulation:
- high strength, although the material is very easy to cut;
- highly efficient heat insulator;
- high fire resistance (BASVUL insulation has reviews that specifically mention that this material does not burn at all);
- good acoustic properties;
- high level of vapor permeability.
Basalt insulation Baswool for roofing
The slabs may fall out of their seats under their own weight. They need to be further secured.
Basvul roofing basalt insulation, according to reviews, has proven itself well if all installation work was carried out according to technology. It is available in slabs:
- RUF;
- RUF N;
- RUF V;
- Light;
- Sandwich K.
Based on reviews that confirm the characteristics declared by the manufacturer, Baswool RUF insulation can be installed under a screed. This allows for a fairly high density of 120-140 kg/m. cube and compressive strength 60 kPa. Its main purpose is insulation in one layer, the thickness varies from 50 to 200 mm. Like any stone wool, it allows steam to pass through (at least 0.3 mg/m*h*Pa). At the same time, it almost does not absorb moisture, the value is only 1.5% per day, lambda 0.037-0.04 W/mK.
Baswool RUF N insulation, technical characteristics:
- density 100-120 kg/m. cube;
- compressive strength maximum 45 kPa;
- lambda 0.036-0.038 W/mK;
- does not burn.
The level of vapor permeability and water absorption is the same as that of the previous material. This insulation is used as the first layer of a thermal insulation cake. Material thickness from 40 to 200 mm. It can also be installed under a thin protective screed.
Basalt insulation Baswool RUF V is laid as a second layer on RUF N. The density of this material is 170-190 kg/m. cube, which makes it more resistant to mechanical stress. It is much stronger in compression than the bottom layer, this value is 80 kPa. The increased density is reflected in thermal conductivity, lambda is 0.038-0.041 W/mK. Thermal insulation thickness is from 30 to 50 mm.
Thermal insulation Basvul Light has a low density of 30 kg/m. cube Thanks to this, the thermal conductivity of the material is only 0.037 W/mK, which is quite good for stone wool. This material is more susceptible to moisture absorption (2% per day), so it must be protected with vapor barrier films or other materials that prevent air circulation. The material can also be used to insulate horizontal ceilings and walls.
Mineral wool Baswool Sandwich K is used for the production of roofing panels, where the insulation on both sides is covered with metal (tin). Density 140 kg/m. cube and a compressive strength of 110 kPa are enough to make the products strong. At the same time, this material cannot boast of low thermal conductivity, lambda 0.042-0.045 W/mK.
In addition to the usual one, there is alternative heating for the house, which allows complete autonomy from any communications.

Types and characteristics of Baswool insulation
Basvul stone wool with high density.
Basvul insulation is manufactured at, which is located near the capital of Bashkortostan, the city of Ufa. The company produces various thermal insulation materials:
- glass wool;
- stone wool;
- extruded polystyrene foam;
- fire protection
All products are manufactured using the latest Slovenian-made equipment. Baswool insulation is used for all thermal insulation work, both in civil and industrial facilities. Mineral wool insulation has gained the most popularity.
According to reviews, Basvul insulation is in no way inferior to such well-known brands as Isotek and Rockwool.
Thanks to the fairly democratic pricing policy of the management of the Agidel LLC holding, the cost of the product in the retail network is more than moderate. At the same time, there is plenty to choose from in the Basvul insulation line. Conventionally, all materials can be divided into groups:
- for roofing;
- for horizontal floors;
- for walls.
Different operating conditions are undoubtedly taken into account in the characteristics of each material.
Gravity water heating of a country house can operate autonomously from the electrical network.
