Choosing Izospan for house insulation: Ceiling, walls, floor of a private house: Overview and Instruction + Video

Izospan V is one of the representatives of the highest quality steam insulators made in Russia. Ease of installation and high strength of the material can be attributed to its most important advantages. It is produced by the domestic company "Hexa", which is headquartered in the Tver region.

Isospan film : varieties

Today the company produces various types of material:

• "Izospan A. M" - is a diffuse three-layer membrane, which is mounted directly on the insulation;
• "Izospan AQ proff".

  The main advantage of this material is its particularly high tensile strength;

• Izospan D. High-quality multifunctional film, on which a special anti-condensation layer is applied;
• "Izospan A" - this type is intended for all types of insulation against strong winds and ingress of atmospheric moisture ";
• " Izospan AS "- for all its main characteristics resemble the model "... A.

  M ", but has a lower vapor permeability;

• " Izospan S ". This membrane is most often used for indoor installation, but in some cases it can be used from the outside;
• " Izospan B ". Instruction for the use of isospan of this model assumes its active use inside and outside the premises as a heater.

It is the last of the listed representatives of this brand that is deservedly considered one of the most popular.

A little further down the text, we will consider this type of material in more detail.

Izospan A

Appearance and functionality

The material is a kind of membrane that successfully performs function waterproofing, protecting the building from moisture penetration, and also removes water vapor from the insulation.

It is designed to protect facades and walls of a variety of buildings.

Its performance is noticeable prolong the time I service insulation. It is a good waterproof and windproof protection for your home.

Properties

Izospan A o provides the insulation with high-quality protection, since has:
high resistance to aggressive media (bacteria, chemistry);
excellent resistance to external mechanical influences.

How to lay the film?

The question, which side of Isospan A should be laid, often arises during its installation. The material is covered from the outside of the insulation.

Film is cut into comfortable wide strips and overlapped so that the smooth side is outside.

Installation should start from the bottom of the roof structure.

The material is fastened with nails and slats.

Izospan A is used as a hydro-barrier and a wind barrier for a heater, its brother Isospan B is an excellent vapor barrier.

Izospan V

Any high-quality insulation, the most advanced and modern, saturated with water vapor over time.

It is isospan B that serves as an excellent barrier to water vapor generated inside the building.

Advantages

The main advantages of this material can be considered:

• High reliability .
  When choosing this material, you can be sure that the insulation will remain dry under any circumstances.
• Strength .
  Such a film is very strong, does not tear during installation, and can be used for a long time.
• Versatility .

  
  Izospan B is successfully used as a heater on almost all types of structures.

• Practicality .
• Environmental friendliness .
  This material does not emit any harmful substances and can be used safely.
• Ease of installation .

• Fire safety .

The special structure of the material reliably ensures the removal of accumulating condensate, increases the insulating properties of the "pie", lengthens the service life of structures and buildings in the construction of which it is used.

Izospan B is vapor-proof, so it perfectly protects the insulation from vapors condensing inside the building. This type has a different structure of surfaces to the touch and appearance.

The upper part of the material is smooth, as it must adhere tightly to the insulation from the inside. The underside is covered with small villi, the main task of which is to prevent condensation from draining and retain moisture.

Isospan C membrane

Its characteristics are very similar to the "B" variety.

Izospan C has a two-layer structure, similar in structure to Isospane B.

But Isospan C is much stronger, one might say that it is super strong.

It can be used to protect cold roofs, intermediate floors and floors.

This material is used:

• For arranging flat roofs ;
• For steam and water insulation of non-insulated sloped roofs ;
• Vapor barrier of horizontal wooden floors;
• Vapor barrier and waterproofing of frame walls;
• Waterproofing and vapor barrier of concrete floors.

On the roof slopes, the material is overlapped by about 15 cm, horizontally, the work is carried out from the bottom up. The joints are fixed with a special tape.

The film is fixed with slats.

When working with ceilings, the membrane is laid on top of the insulation, with an overlap. A small gap should be left 50 mm from the floor, film and heat insulator.

If work is to be done with a concrete floor, such isospan is laid directly on the concrete surface. The screed is carried out from above.

Izospan D

Waterproofing and vapor barrier of the roof with Isospan D

This modern material is a high-quality and functional hydro and vapor barrier isospan of extremely high density.

It can be considered a woven polypropylene fabric with a two-layer structure.

Its main difference from other types of polypropylene films is its ability to withstand extremely high mechanical stress, which the material is often subjected to during installation. He is not afraid of a large accumulation of snow in winter - he can withstand it.

The material is actively used in construction work for steam and waterproofing in non-insulated pitched roofs.

It is also successfully used to protect structures made of wood.

Is a reliable barrier against under-roof condensation and various atmospheric phenomena: rain, wind and snow. This is especially true for places with insufficiently tightly laid roofing.

With this type of material it is possible to form a temporary covering (up to 4 months) for waterproofing walls and roofs.

It has proven itself well as waterproofing when working with concrete and earth floors.

Also in buildings with a high level of humidity it can be used for insulating basement floors.

Places of application

It is used to insulate:

• floors with a concrete base;
• flat roof ;
• roofs having an inclined shape ;
• basement floors.

The main working function of Isospan D is to protect the insulation and internal elements of the house from water vapor accumulating in the room.

Installation of Isospan D

Its installation is quite simple. When it is laid on an inclined non-insulated roof, the film is cut to the required dimensions directly on the rafters.

In this case, it does not matter which side it will adhere to the surface. Individual panels overlap horizontally.

1. All work usually starts from the very bottom of the roof, and continues up: the joints are closed with a special tape.
2. The finished stretched membrane is secured vertically to the rafters with nails and wooden battens.

As you can see, with excellent performance characteristics, isospan is quite easy to install and does not need any special skills.

It is also extremely reliable.Its cost is quite affordable, meanwhile, it significantly surpasses the usual plastic wrap in its characteristics.

The functions assigned to the material guarantee the durability and reliability of your entire home insulation system.
