Isoplats for interior decoration in everyday life are often called coniferous boards. This name stuck due to the composition of the material, made from fibers of coniferous trees that necessarily grow in northern climatic zones. During production, only pure natural raw materials are used without the addition of artificial components. Bonding of products is carried out by extracting high-quality crushed wood chips under high temperature and pressure, resins. No chemistry.

Areas of application of isoplaat heat and sound insulation boards indoors

Heat and sound insulation of walls.
Finishing of ceilings with insulation and sound insulation.
Thermal insulation of floors.
Underlay for floor coverings made of hard products (laminate, parquet, floorboards) or soft (linoleum, carpet) in rooms with low traffic, for example, bedrooms and children's rooms.

Depending on the purpose, the slabs can be heat-insulating, moisture-resistant, sound-proofing or with a combined effect. This is an excellent replacement for traditional finishing with plasterboard, cork, felt, plywood and other materials.

Before installing isoplaat heat and sound insulating boards, they must be kept in the room where installation is planned for ≥ 24 hours. To ensure effective ventilation, the sheets are placed vertically with a gap between them using small wooden spacers.

Advantages of isoplat panels

The popularity and demand of the products is due to their following remarkable qualities:

100% environmentally friendly and safe for human health without causing any problems allergic reactions;
regulation of indoor microclimate. The material is able to absorb excess moisture, and when the air is dry, release it back. This prevents the appearance of mold, mildew and condensation;
isoplaat sound insulation, due to the porous structure of the fibers, provides acoustic comfort from external and internal noise with the absence of echo effects in the rooms;
good thermal insulation;
high energy intensity regulates the temperature, the room does not heat up too much in hot weather and cools down slowly in cold weather;
versatility due to the possibility of finishing in country houses, city apartments and dachas with seasonal accommodation(in the latter case, periodic ventilation of the premises will be required);
possibility of use when finishing wallpapering, decorative plaster compositions or coloring;
leveling minor defects surfaces;
small thickness, practically not reducing usable area rooms;
the product does not tear, does not roll down and does not change its original geometric dimensions;
ease of cutting with a regular knife;
ease of installation;
durability ≥ 50 years.

The only drawback is the relatively high cost.

The price depends on the following factors:

on the purpose of the material;
sheet sizes;
product thickness;
number of sheets in one package.

The procedure for cladding walls and ceilings for soundproofing and insulation boards

Surface preparation. Leveling by cutting down protruding parts and sealing depressions and cracks. Cleaning from dirt, dust removal and degreasing. To prevent the formation of mold, it is advisable to treat walls and ceilings with antiseptics.
Applying a thin layer of putty to the surface of the sheets on both sides, followed by priming. You only need to use a special primer for isoplat; a regular primer will cause irreparable damage to the products. If the finishing coating is provided with thin types of wallpaper, then there is a possibility that the bright colors of the slabs will show through. In these cases, it is recommended to paint the front part of the panels with white water-based paint.
The sheets are installed with a deformation gap of 1 cm from the floor level (which is created by gaskets made of the same material), which is subsequently subject to sealing with polyurethane foam or sealants. Laying is done outwards smooth side. Only solid slabs are used in the finishing of window and door openings. The panels are installed at intervals of 10 mm.
TO wooden surfaces fastening is carried out using stainless steel nails with wide heads and a slight penetration into the material or construction staples using a stapler. Fastening is carried out along the perimeter of the sheets, with an indentation of about one cm from the edges, and in the middle. Along the edges the fastening step is 10 cm, in the middle 20 cm. When fixing on ceilings, the step is halved. Can be fixed to smooth concrete or plastered surfaces with glue or foam. The glue is applied with notched spatulas in three rows of strips 5 cm wide with a distance of 0.5 cm from the edges. When using foam, application is carried out along the perimeter and in strips along long side in increments of 30 cm. The pasted sheets are fixed by pressing firmly with horizontal control.
The seams between the sheets are puttied and reinforced with fiberglass tapes. To do this, a small depression of up to 3 mm with a width of 6 cm is made along the seams with sandpaper. All joints are sealed or foamed. The nail heads are also puttyed. If painting is planned in the future, it is recommended to putty the entire surface.
Finishing using traditional methods.

The described classical method is time-consuming, so you can use another method that is optimal in terms of quality and labor-intensive finishing. To do this, you will need decorative panels 12 mm thick, made using the tongue-and-groove connection technology. At the factory, using powerful presses, high-quality washable wallpaper or linen fabric. The width of the products is 58 cm, allowing them to be conveniently transported and installed, even alone. Finns even decorate luxury hotels with such panels.

If there are significant irregularities, the installation of the slabs is carried out on a sheathing made of wooden antiseptic bars 50 by 45 mm. In places where the panels join in height, veins are installed. For sheets with a thickness of ≤ 12 mm, the pitch is taken to be 30 cm, and for a thickness of 25 mm - 600 mm.

Isoplat underlay for laminate

The base of the floor must be strong, clean and dry; no bumps or depressions are allowed. The thickness of the substrate is selected depending on the evenness of the base. It is not recommended to use material thicker than 5 mm to prevent damage to the laminate joint locks. For a smooth and new base, 2 mm is enough, but the moisture content of the concrete screed should be ≤ 5%. The substrate under the isoplaat laminate is recommended with a thickness of no more than 3 mm, while minor flaws without significant differences are acceptable (≤ 2 mm).

Work order:

After thoroughly cleaning the floor from dirt and dust using a powerful vacuum cleaner, apply a primer layer. The base must be absolutely flat and dry.
The isoplate substrate is laid, in order to avoid the coincidence of the joints with the coating, at angles of 450 to the direction of installation of the laminate.
The base is first covered with thick plastic film. The film is laid with an overlap of 20 cm and an overlap of 5 mm on the walls. The excess is subsequently cut off. The seams are sealed with construction tape.
To accommodate the expansion of coniferous boards along the walls, it is necessary to install 10 mm gaps; a gap of 2...4 mm is also required between the sheets.
The slabs are attached to the base with glue, liquid nails or a stapler.
The laminate is laid directly on the isoplaat underlay.

For true connoisseurs of environmental safety and reliability of cladding or substrate, isoplat slabs are the best choice.

Isoplat plates for external cladding at home - material properties and installation technology

Choose environmentally friendly thermal insulation material, which can be used for exterior decoration country house? Such material exists, it is environmentally friendly, easy to install, and in addition, it is characterized by excellent heat and sound insulating properties. It's about about Izoplat slabs, which are becoming more and more popular every year in Russia and the CIS countries.

Basic information about the material

ISOPLAAT (IZOPLAT) is a wide range of insulating materials designed for thermal insulation and wind protection of the house. The brand's product range includes materials for insulating floors, walls and roofs.

Performance characteristics of ISOPLAAT products (IZOPLAT)
	Environmental friendliness. In the manufacture of insulating material, adhesives and impregnations containing phenol are not used. The insulation contains no components with carcinogenic effects.
	Insulation against heat loss from the inside. In terms of thermal conductivity, the insulating material is comparable to mineral wool, which is popular today. Therefore, external wall cladding will make the house more economical and energy efficient.
	Insulation from outside heat. External wall cladding will make the house look like a thermos. As a result, in the hot summer the house will be cool and there will be no need for air conditioning. The optimal temperature in the house is maintained for 15 hours, provided that both the walls and the roofing pie are insulated.
	Soundproofing properties. Due to the structure with many microcavities, fiber boards are characterized by high sound insulation ability, which increases in proportion to the thickness of the material.
	Air permeability and hygroscopicity. The slabs used as cladding allow air to pass through without compromising their thermal insulation properties. This quality significantly reduces the likelihood of mold growing inside the building. Moreover, Izoplat, passing air from the outside, absorbs moisture from it, and then releases this moisture to the outside. Therefore, houses with such breathable walls will be dry.
	Bactericidal properties. During the production of boards, starch and sugar are naturally removed from the thickness of wood. As a result, the finished insulating material, due to the lack of a nutrient medium, loses its attractiveness to microorganisms. Antiseptic impregnations in the manufacture of this environmentally friendly pure material not used!
	Easy to install. Despite the high efficiency of the insulation system, installation of slabs is simpler than insulation of construction sites with mineral wool. As a result, you can do the installation yourself and save on the services of professional installers.

It is important to remember that ISOPLAAT material is manufactured only by the trade and production association SKANO GROUP (Estonia).

There are no enterprises engaged in the production of these materials either in Russia or in other countries except Estonia. Therefore, if you are offered to buy Izoplat slabs that are not made in Estonia, know that they are fake.

Are there any analogues? Products of the Izoplat brand are not unique and slabs with similar characteristics. These materials are sold under the brands BELTERMO (Belarus) and STEICO (Poland).

Materials for external cladding

For outer skin At home, Isoplat board material is used, made from coniferous wood shavings mixed with a type of tree resin - lignin.

The structure of lignin is similar to the structure of reinforced concrete, only here the function of reinforcement is performed by cellulose fibers. As a result, a board of wood origin, with a low density, is highly durable in comparison with other types of insulating building materials.

Illustrations	What can be used for external wall insulation?
	Windproof plate. This insulation is used to protect external walls from strong cold winds. The material is installed with equal success on top of solid walls and laid inside frame structures. The plate is characterized by high bending strength, and therefore serves as a rigidity enhancer for the isolated structure. Thickness 12 mm, 25 mm. Width 800 mm, 1200 mm. Length 2700 mm, 2400 mm.
	Heat-insulating (sound-insulating) plates. This insulation is used to reduce the thermal conductivity of external walls. In addition to low thermal conductivity, the slab has high sound-absorbing and dissipative properties. Along with cladding external walls, the material is used to fill interior partitions. Thickness 12 mm, 25 mm. Width 1200 mm. Length 2700 mm.
	UNIVERSAL. These finishing modules have a milled tongue-and-groove lock around the perimeter. UNIVERSAL modules are a universal solution for interior decoration and external sound, heat and wind insulation. Due to the locking connection, the use of modules is characterized by the complete absence of cold bridges! Thickness 25 mm, 50 mm. Width 600 mm, 1200 mm. Length 1800 mm.
	ISOMODUL. This is another category of universal material suitable for cladding walls and for laying in the base of the floor and in roofing structures. But unlike UNIVERSAL, there is no perimeter lock. Thickness 50 mm. Width 625 mm. Length 1200 mm.

Installation of Isoplat in frame construction

How to insulate walls under a ventilated façade? Let's look at cladding technology using the example of a frame house. In this case, a 25 mm thick wind barrier board is marked and cut in such a way as to cover the distance between two adjacent posts.

The slabs are fastened with galvanized nails or anodized screws, both of which are driven or screwed directly into the frame posts.

If windproof modules with lock connection along the perimeter, then the cold bridges are blocked due to the insertion of the tenon into the groove. If slabs without a tongue-and-groove connection are used, additional seam sealing will be required.

This can be done using polyurethane foam, which is blown into the seam, where it expands and polymerizes. Sealing with polyurethane foam will not only eliminate the appearance of cold bridges, but will also increase the rigidity of the wall sheathing.

After outer part the walls are lined, the sheathing is being filled for the installation of a ventilated facade. The choice of lathing method is determined by the type of finishing material that will be installed during finishing. For example, the photo shows a vertical sheathing for installing horizontal siding.

Since the facade will be ventilated, the sheathing must be assembled in such a way that a sufficient gap is formed between the finishing layer and the windproof material. To do this, when assembling the sheathing, it is enough to use a 40x40 mm block, installed in increments of 50 cm.

The wooden blocks are fastened with self-tapping screws directly to the Isoplat, the density of which will be sufficient to hold the sheathing with the facade cladding.

Insulation of external walls under plaster

Is it possible to insulate external walls with Isoplat before subsequent plastering? Yes, there is such a possibility, but under one condition - you need to use slabs with a thickness of 25 mm or more.

Insulating wood board absorbs moisture like a sponge, but unlike conventional particle boards, which swell, the material subsequently releases moisture to the outside. Now let’s imagine plaster laid on top of Isoplat. The slab is immediately moistened, but as the plaster sets, the insulation will release moisture, so the finishing layer will not crack.

Insulation of external walls using the frameless method is preceded by preparing the mounting surface. The wall is leveled and the relief is completely removed from it. Then the slabs are attached to the wall at intervals with dowels and nails 75 mm long.

At the same stage, a plaster mesh. Plastering is carried out on a grid in two layers: the first rough layer, the second finishing.

Let's sum it up

Isoplat is a modern material, using which you can make your home warmer and more comfortable. If you still have questions about the technology of working with Izoplat insulation boards, ask them in the comments to the article.

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

Description and production of wood fiber insulation

Wood fiber insulation from the Izoplat company is a special type of thermal insulation that can also be used as a building material. 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 materials are treated with water and folded into a “carpet”. After this, it is compacted under the influence of a press so that sheets are formed and lignin production begins.

If necessary, chemicals are introduced into the fiberboard composition that improve certain characteristics of the material. However, Isoplat is not used for gluing slabs adhesive compositions containing harmful phenol-formaldehyde compounds. 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.

Next, the material is dried for several hours. The finished slabs are shaped using 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 slab is smooth, which allows it to be used for fine finishing.

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

Use Isoplat as 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 rigid sound-reflecting sheets.

Fiberboard insulation can be used to insulate roofs (usually logs), walls, ceilings, and 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 slabs.

Main varieties of Isoplat

You can select Izoplat slabs to suit your needs, using a wide range of this universal heat insulator:

Roofing slabs. They are used for installation under tiles on rafters. With their help, you can perfectly muffle the noise of precipitation and insulate the roof. The ends have a milled tongue and groove. The material is additionally impregnated with paraffin to achieve maximum non-hygroscopicity.
Windproof boards. Suitable for sound and heat insulation of external surfaces under a ventilated façade. Impregnated with paraffin and completely waterproof. They are used, as a rule, for insulating wooden, frame, timber houses, as well as attics.
Underlay for laminate. This type of Izoplat fiberboard is used for laying under parquet and laminate as an additional layer of insulation. The products are able to level out certain floor defects, and it is not necessary to use screed or plywood.
Thermal and sound insulating boards Isoplaat. Their scope of use is interior walls houses, as well as ceilings. Most often, such boards are used instead of plasterboard sheets. They perfectly protect against the penetration of cold and extraneous noise. In addition, you can glue wallpaper directly onto them.

In addition, Izotex panels are considered a separate group of Izoplat wood-fiber insulation materials. 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.

Technical characteristics of Isoplaat

Since there are several types of Isoplat slabs, the same technical characteristics the material cannot have. Let's consider the properties of the most common universal heat and sound insulation products:

Thermal conductivity. According to this indicator, the slabs are close to stone wool. The coefficient is 0.045 W/(m*K). The small thickness allows for economical use of space when insulating with this material.
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 worsen the thermal insulation characteristics of the material. The wood will accumulate moisture, but the interfiber space, which is responsible for thermal conductivity, will remain free of water.
Vapor permeability. Natural insulation allows the walls to “breathe”. It prevents condensation from accumulating on the surface, removing moisture out.
Soundproofing. The material is capable of absorbing from 23 to 26 decibels of acoustic noise.
Density. For Izoplat this figure is from 230 to 270 kilograms per cubic meter.
Compressive strength. The slabs have a value of about 200 kPa. This allows them to be used for insulating coatings under soft roofs.
Fire resistance. Universal Izoplat products comply with all standards fire safety. Despite the fact that wood is the raw material for their production, the special structure of the material prevents fire from spreading. When exposed to flame, ash will form on the surface of the insulation, blocking access to oxygen to the fire site.
Biological stability. During the production of boards, wood is deprived of components such as starch and sugar, which serve as food for microorganisms. Therefore, mold, rot and fungi will not appear on the insulation.
Environmental friendliness. In the manufacturing process of this heat insulator, no harmful chemicals or glue are used. Therefore, the material will not emit volatile compounds during installation and during use.
Lifetime. Manufacturer sets guarantee period for slabs - 50 years. At correct installation Izoplat can be used longer.

Advantages of Izoplat plates

This universal material for insulation it has a lot of advantages. Let's look at them:

Environmentally friendly insulation. The raw material for Isoplat is wood. There are no binders in the composition; the fibers are intertwined naturally and held together with natural resins. Therefore, it is important to use such material for insulating wooden eco-houses, as well as rooms where children and allergy sufferers live.
Excellent vapor permeability. Isoplat is able to regulate the humidity state inside the building and create a favorable microclimate.
High thermal inertia. The plates are capable of accumulating and releasing heat for 14 hours. Thus, the temperature inside the building is stabilized. Temperature fluctuations will not be felt as much when it decreases or increases outside the room.
Not subject to shrinkage or destruction. Unlike a large number of synthetic insulation materials, fiberboards do not shrink or deform over time.
Windproof abilities. Izoplat slabs 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.
Filtration properties. Isoplat, due to its structure, is able to retain harmful compounds. This is especially true when using slabs in structures with insulation materials such as polystyrene foam, mineral wool which can release formaldehyde, styrene and other toxic chemicals.
Easy to install. To install the products, you do not need special equipment. All work can be done by yourself. Convenient system The tongue and groove greatly simplifies the installation process.

Disadvantages of Izoplat fiberboards

Before buying this insulation, you should study 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.
Relatively high price. Natural materials, as a rule, are more expensive. Izoplat is no exception. Therefore, it will cost an order of magnitude more than artificial insulation.

Price and manufacturer of Izoplat plates

The rights to the trade name Isoplaat belong to the Estonian company Skano. Therefore, if you come across a material on sale with a similar name, but from a different manufacturer, then this is a fake.

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

Thermal and sound insulating board Izoplat - from 200 to 500 rubles per square meter;
Windproof board Izoplat - from 290 to 1150 rubles per square;
Thermal insulating substrate for Isoplat laminate - from 115 to 200 rubles per square meter;
Izoplat facade slabs - from 1000 to 1200 rubles per square.

Brief instructions for installing Izoplat insulation

Before you begin installing heat and sound insulating wood fiber boards, it is recommended to keep them in the room where the work is planned for a couple of days. Thus, the humidity of the material will be equal to the humidity of the air in the building.

The tools you will need are construction staples or flat head screws, a knife, building level, hammer or screwdriver.

Isoplaat boards can be installed on pre-installed sheathing or glued directly to the wall surface.

We work according to this scheme:

If you decide to make lathing, then its pitch should be from 30 to 60 centimeters, depending on the thickness of the slab.
For fastening to concrete and brick surfaces You can use different types of glue - for thermal insulation, gypsum-based, plasterboard, as well as polyurethane foam.
Apply glue to the rough surface of the product in stripes or dots around the perimeter. We press the insulation to the surface.
Self-tapping screws or nails when attaching slabs to the sheathing must be flush with the surface and not protrude above the insulation.
We seal the fastening points with putty.
If you fixed the slabs with glue, then before decorative finishing it is recommended to go over them twice with glue or primer (if you plan to paint).

As for the Izoplat thermal insulation substrate, you do not need to use either glue or fasteners for its installation. It is laid in a floating manner using a tongue-and-groove system.

Watch the video review of Isoplat:

Isoplaat wood fiber insulation is an effective thermal insulation material that is valued for its environmental friendliness, low thermal conductivity and practicality. It can be placed on any surface both indoors and outdoors. Isoplat is also a new generation of laminate substrates that perfectly retain heat.

For quality repairs It is always necessary to use only the best materials. This article will discuss in detail the heat and sound insulating board called Izoplat, its characteristics, purpose, prices and much more.

Isoplat is a special plate that can be used for both thermal insulation and sound insulation.

This material is environmentally natural, since it is made from coniferous tree fibers without the addition of glue or any other artificial impurities. The crushed wood is simply wetted, laid out in a straight line and compacted with a hot press with wax, which turns the finished material into dense sheets.

Izoplat can be used for the following purposes:

for covering interior walls with dry and medium humidity levels;
for thermal insulation as insulation of the highest category;
for soundproofing rooms both inside and outside;
for cladding external walls for insulation purposes.

Installation features

Installation of classic thermal insulation sheets has the following features:

Before installation, they must be kept for two days in the room in which they will be mounted. This is necessary so that the humidity of the material becomes the same as the humidity in the room. To do this, the slabs need to be placed in a straight vertical position and small wooden crossbars installed between them.
This material is attached to the wood frame with nails or special construction staples. It is best to use high-quality nails with a fairly wide head volume. They need to be driven in at a distance of 2 cm from the edges of the wood sheet. In the middle the interval should be 30 cm.
If such slabs are subsequently covered with wallpaper, then the interval between the middle rows of nails should be no more than 35 cm.
For installation on a stone wall, construction adhesive should be used. It is also important to know that the base of the wall must be smooth and clean (no dust). The glue must be applied to the back of the slab at a distance of 30 cm from the edges. In the middle of the slab - at intervals of 15 cm. If you see the need to strengthen the slabs, then they can be supported from below.
Such slabs can be painted. To do this, the nail heads need to be puttied.
Izoplat can also be used for interior cladding of rooms. Installation is carried out using classical technologies. Before starting work, putty must be applied to the slabs.

Installation of moisture-resistant Izoplat sheets has the following features:

Before starting work, the surface of the walls must be degreased and cleaned of dust and dirt. If there is mold, apply an antifungal agent and dry thoroughly.
If the surface of the walls is uneven, then moisture-resistant boards The isoplat must be installed on a special frame structure or wooden sheathing. It must be secured with galvanized nails. The total distance of the beams on the gratings should be no more than 30 cm. Nails should be nailed every 12 cm.
The joints of such sheets must be puttied and covered with reinforced tape. It is also advisable to putty the nail heads.
These slabs can also be left as decoration, just by covering them with varnish on top. This will look beneficial in private homes. If you want to disguise this material, you can use wallpaper and plaster (for internal walls) or paint (for external walls).

Reviews about the use of plates

Igor, 35 years old, Moscow.“I did renovations in an apartment using this material. Initially, the problem was the cold walls, which also let in a lot of noise. After installing Izoplat slabs, the apartment became much warmer, and the constant noise coming from the street disappeared. So far I’m happy with everything.”
Maxim, 34 years old, Kazan.“I insulated a private house with Isoplat. I want to say that this material is very cool, because it is easy to use - attach it with nails and that’s it, no extra fuss! For the second year now, the house has successfully survived the winter and nothing has fallen off anywhere. The room is very warm, dry and cozy. I can confidently recommend Izoplat."
Daniil, 26 years old, Chelyabinsk.“Personally, I didn’t like Izoplat slabs. It feels like it’s just wood waste that manufacturers decided to compress and called it miracle insulation. I installed them in one of the rooms of my apartment, but did not see any result: all the rooms, as before, had the same temperature and sound insulation. I’m disappointed with the latest advertising antics of the construction market.”
Valentina, 41 years old, Novosibirsk.“I have two children, so I care very much about the quality and naturalness of materials. I was very pleased that these slabs are made exclusively from natural ingredients. As for the final result, it was beautiful: the interior walls of the apartment were leveled and became much warmer. This is an excellent alternative to other, more chemical materials!”
Mikhail, 31 years old, Moscow.“I used these wood sheets as protection from moisture and wind on external wall Houses. In principle, the result is not bad, but I don’t think that this material can cope with more serious tasks, such as thermal insulation and sound insulation, so I would not use it for such purposes.”
Arthur, 48 years old, Volgograd.“I did renovations in the house with my own hands. On the advice of familiar builders, I used Isoplat sheets to insulate external walls. I can say that I liked working with them, because they are easy to cut and just as easily and quickly attached to the walls. The effect was also pleasing - it became warmer, and at the same time, the extra noise from the street went away. I don’t regret the money and time spent at all.”
Boris, 56 years old, Vladivostok.“I used Isoplat as insulation because there was always a problem with freezing of the walls and poor heat retention. I attached the slabs to the outside of the house. Despite all expectations, the house still froze in the cold, and there were even drops of dew on the ceiling due to condensation. Now I’m thinking about insulating the ceiling with it, but I doubt it will help. It would be better if I used something else.”
Bogdan, 45 years old, Nizhny Novgorod.“Quite by accident I came across this material in a construction supermarket. It immediately interested me, since I had never seen insulation made from wood before. For testing, I took several sheets and insulated one of the walls of the room with them. I waited until winter to see the results. As it turned out, there was an effect and the wall became warmer. On next year I have already completely installed Isoplat on all the walls of the house. Now I’m planning to do the same at the dacha, since I haven’t found a better material for this yet.”

Having analyzed the reviews, it can be noted that the majority of people who tried it were satisfied with the effect of Isoplat sheets, since their home became much warmer.

It is very important that the walls on which Isoplat will be attached are clean, dry and free of mold, otherwise this can lead to serious consequences and a threat to quality repairs;
It is recommended to store these materials in a dry place in packaging to prevent moisture from entering them;
Only high-quality materials should be used for installation;
If you do not want to use nails to install the slabs, then they can easily be replaced with screws, which will be even stronger;
Isoplat should be used only for its intended purpose and not use moisture-resistant sheets as insulation, since they will not have the expected effect.

The modern range of materials for construction allows not only to build new house in a short time, but also to modernize the existing one, making it warm cottage. Today this opportunity is provided by finishing, sound and thermal insulation boards, the use of which is due to their outstanding characteristics. One of best representatives This group of materials is isoplat for the outer cladding of a house, which has a number of undeniable advantages over its competitors.

Isoplaat is a soft fiber board, abbreviated as MDVP. It is made from soft fibers. Before wood is turned into a material for use, it goes through several stages of processing. First, the raw materials are scalded with steam and softened in heated water. After this, they are sanded, a liquid fibrous mass is obtained and poured onto a conveyor belt. Vacuum pumps Excess moisture is removed from the wood “carpet”, it is subjected to hot pressing and dried in chambers. The last stage - the material is cut into standard sheets from 4 to 50 mm.

Manufacturers claim that they do not use glue. The fibers in the plates connect a natural polymer - lignin . It is contained in coniferous wood and is activated by high heat and pressure.

The main difference between Isoplaat and other brands of fiberboards is the presence of a smooth

side suitable for finishing. Thanks to this, Isoplaat is considered the most profitable alternative option unlike drywall, plywood and OSB.

In addition, Isoplaat panels have the ability to absorb moisture up to 20 percent of their own volume. In this case, the plates do not lose either technical characteristics or geometric shapes. And since the panels are made from wood fiber, they are also good at removing moisture and thus providing an optimal microclimate.

In addition, the undeniable advantages of Isoplaat include:

high-quality sound insulation provided by the porous fibrous structure of the panel;
high heat capacity, which determines the ability to regulate the temperature in the room;
excellent acoustic characteristics, ensuring the absence of echo;
ease of processing - you can easily screw a self-tapping screw or hammer a nail into the plate, and the canvas itself can be easily sawed using a hacksaw, circular saw or electric.

It is worth noting that Isoplaat is not without its drawbacks:

Due to the high water absorption coefficient, it is impossible to store the slabs in the open air - they must be covered with a dense polyethylene film.
In addition, the panels are not very resistant to mechanical stress, so Isoplate sheets may become unusable due to any pressure, impact or fall. In this case, the broken panel either needs to be cut or completely replaced - and this is an additional financial cost.

Natural wood slabs They perfectly allow steam to pass through from the inside, preventing the insulation from sagging and eliminating the need for intensive ventilation inside the house combined with heat loss. Full-thickness windbreaks are impregnated with paraffin, making them waterproof. Thus, these plates prevent moisture from the walls, shrinkage of insulation, and the appearance of mold.

Isoplaat sheets are used for roof insulation and also for wind protection of building walls. In addition, there are plates for internal thermal and sound insulation of rooms. Thin sheets (7 mm) showed good performance as a substrate for floor coverings(parquet, laminate).

Isoplat for interior wall decoration is also used for exterior work (wind protection of walls, roof insulation); it is treated with liquid paraffin to improve its moisture-resistant properties. Placed on the wall frame before installation exterior finishing(siding, blockhouse). Isoplaat is laid on the roof before installation metal roofing, slate, sheet metal or tiles. Roofing and windproof boards have a “tenon cutter” butt edge. This increases the tightness of the connections and simplifies installation.

The production of panels is carried out using a technology that involves pressing and further drying wood waste. Don't be alarmed by the word "waste" because the base board is the chips, wood chips that remain after processing the boards. This raw material is pumped into the carpet and treated with water, and then falls under a powerful press. The need for high pressure is due to the fact that plates with the correct density are formed under the press. In addition, a special substance is produced that is designed to glue the chips together.

The panel itself is a porous material that can be used for various purposes, including increasing the level of thermal or sound insulation.

As a rule, isoplat boards made from wood materials contain chemical components designed to improve the consumer properties of the material. One of the main advantages Isoplaat panels is the absence of harmful or toxic mixtures, including adhesives or resins, even with an acceptable emission class. The gluing of the chips is carried out due to the resin, which is released from the wood under the influence of a press. Thus, the material is completely safe for health, which allows it to be used for both exterior and interior decoration.

The selection of panels from the Estonian manufacturer is very wide. It can be used in seasonal buildings (for example, country houses and cottages), as well as in ordinary multi-storey apartments. In some cases, the plate is installed together with sound-reflecting sheets, which ultimately increases the level of noise absorption, as well as the insulation of the building. Roof insulation is also often made from this material. If necessary, Isoplaat can be used as a base for parquet or laminate flooring.

They produce a very wide range of products, the main types of which are:

Windproof boards are ideal insulation for finishing works, performed outside the building. To impregnate them, substances such as paraffin are used, which provides good level moisture resistance. Attics, as well as frame houses from wooden beams will be completely protected from various external factors if you are using Isoplaat.
Isoplaat insulation boards are used for installation on rafters under tiles. It is designed to heat the roof, muffle the sound from rain, hail and other precipitation. As in other plates from this manufacturer, paraffin is used as an impregnation to provide the necessary indices in terms of moisture resistance.
Underlay for laminate - these panels are used in interior decoration apartments as an additional layer of sound insulation and noise insulation. The panels allow you to correct some rough floor defects by completely masking them. This eliminates the need for a screed, making the entire flooring installation process much easier.
Isoplaat insulation - also used in interior decoration. It perfectly protects the room from the cold from the street and has excellent sound insulation. An excellent alternative to simple drywall. Another advantage of insulation: thanks to the flat surface, you can immediately glue wallpaper on top of it.

The Estonian company has delighted many consumers by releasing qualitatively new products - plates called Izoteks, which are one of the varieties of Isoplaat. Key Feature products is the presence of a decorative layer, thanks to which the slabs act as the final finishing material on the ceiling and walls. Isoplat for exterior cladding of a house has a very affordable price in Moscow.

External cladding with Isoplaat boards

Isoplaat slabs for exterior cladding of a house are an excellent option that allows you to solve several problems at once: provide additional thermal insulation and sound insulation of the house, eliminate the appearance of cold bridges and drafts. The plates are vapor-permeable, that is, they allow water vapor to pass through, which makes it possible not to retain moisture in the insulation, so the insulation does not lose its properties. thermal insulation properties, A wooden structures do not rot or accumulate mold. Additionally, thanks to the vent pointless design, the dew point moves from the insulation to the outside of the Isoplaat sheets, which also helps keep the insulation dry.

External cladding of old log houses with slabs is universal solution to provide vapor-permeable thermal insulation, the wood does not rot in such structures, but “breathes.”

The design of the wall cladding makes it possible to eliminate the installation of ventilation and windproof films: after laying the insulation, two layers of Isoplaat are immediately installed - heat-insulating and windproof. Thus, we receive not only covering the wall with an environmentally friendly and absolutely vapor-permeable material, but also additional thermal insulation.

External walls can be plastered with thin-layer systems (but the manufacturer does not have test reports). In order for the structure to maintain its breathing properties, it is necessary to use vapor-permeable plasters. Siding can also be used as external decorative cladding.

Installation of slabs on the walls of a building is carried out mainly in a vertical position. That is, in the direction of the length of the slab.

The frame technology involves installing frame shelving at 60 cm intervals. Thus, the Isoplaat plate will be located between three posts. This makes it easy to attach and there is no need for additional cutting sheets.

Windproof or heat-proof panels are attached to the load-bearing base using screws or nails. The first method is the most preferable, since damage to the plate can occur with a hammer blow. Therefore, when working with the material, it is recommended to use self-tapping screws and a screwdriver.

Since Isoplaat is soft material, the screw is less than 1 cm from the end of the blade. If the fastener is located closer to the slab plate, it may delaminate or fall apart.

If the plaster is applied over Isoplaat, the board must be attached at 15 cm intervals to each frame post. But this method is rarely used, since the ventilated facade is traditionally mounted above the windshields. Therefore, additional fixation is performed using wooden blocks that are packed on top of the slabs used for the facade. In this case, Isoplaat is enough to fix only three places on each rack.

To fasten the panels, you can use construction clamps with a length of at least 32 mm. With a thickness of 12 mm optimal length nails and screws is 40 mm. For panels with a thickness of 25 mm, fasteners with a length of 70−75 mm are used. For ease of installation you can use homemade accessories. If you are not sure, use a strip to mark the attachment points of the plates, with marks every 15 cm. The panel is attached to the beam of the lower frame in the place where the Isoplaat canvas is to be installed.

Plates can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Parts are fastened directly to wooden racks frame. The position of the racks is 0.6 m. The plates are installed with gaps of 2 mm. If the panel joint does not fall onto the stud, then such places are strengthened by installing an additional post or horizontal core (horizontal ones are fixed in a vertical scroll with inclined plates attached to the studs).

For fastening, galvanized nails with wide heads (“bugs”) or professional paper clips are used.

Fastening is carried out:

for all vertical frame frames, pitch - 10-15 cm;
to horizontal additional elements after 10 cm;
in accordance with additional markings in the center of the sheets in 28 cm increments.

The fastening must be installed at a distance of ≥ 10 mm from the edges of the sheets.

No later than one month after completion installation work recommended to use external device shells. A ventilated gap of 20 to 50 mm is required between the skin and the windproof plate of the layers to allow water vapor to escape from the wall.

For brick, aerated concrete or wooden walls installation is carried out without gaps and fasteners using special adhesive or shaped dowels. The surface of the plates is made smooth on one side and wavy on the inside.

Door trim and window openings It is made only from solid sheets; the presence of joints in these places is unacceptable.

Ventilated facade technologies (Komak Plat, block house), siding or varieties of vapor-permeable facade plasters (for example, BAUMIT). It is worth noting that for priming you need to use special compounds; a regular primer will damage the surface of the plates.
