Due to the wide range of products, you can find the best option insulation Knauf for any purpose. The main varieties of Knauf mineral wool and their properties are described below.
Technical characteristics of KNAUF heaters by type
KNAUF thermal insulation materials made of basalt fiber are represented by two main lines - TeploKnauf and KNAUF Insulation. The manufacturer positions them accordingly as insulation for private use - for insulating your house, summer house, apartment and for use in professional construction.
Heaters category HeatKnauf
Products of this line heaters Knauf produced without the use of phenol-formaldehyde and acrylic resins, and you can be sure that they are completely safe for humans. In addition, any heat insulator of this series is characterized by excellent moisture resistance, as it is treated with special water-repellent compounds "Aquastatik". Thanks to the latest production technologies, mineral wool has unique property 3D elasticity, allowing it to shrink and straighten into its original shape, tightly adhering to the insulated base.
The TeploKnauf category is represented by three main products - insulation class "Dacha", "Dom", "Cottage". They differ in the degree of thermal insulation.
"TeploKnauf Cottage" and "TeploKnauf Cottage +"
They are characterized by the highest thermal insulation, packaging marking is red.
Heaters of this type are made using the "3 in 1" technology - they not only allow you to keep warm, but also perform the function of sound insulation, and also have water-repellent qualities.
Mineral wool marked "TeploKnauf Cottage" has a thickness of 5 centimeters. It is produced in slabs and in rolls. Standard dimensions slabs - 61x123 cm, rolls - 122x614.8 cm. These materials are universal for a private house - they are suitable both for wall insulation and for the roof, as well as for internal partitions.
The difference between the "TeploKnauf Cottage +" modification is double thickness, 100 mm. It is produced only in slabs. The rest of the technical characteristics are no different from "Knauf Cottage"
"TeploKnauf Dom" and "TeploKnauf Dom +"
Average degree of thermal insulation. Packaging marking - orange.
They also have the properties of hydro and sound insulation, 3D elasticity technology.
The characteristics are presented in the table below:
It has the lowest degree of thermal insulation in the category. Packaging markings are yellow.
This cotton wool has all the properties of the first two types. Insulation Knauf Dacha is designed for thermal insulation country house, barn, summer kitchen or other structures that are not in operation during the cold season. Available in rolls only. The advantage of Knauf insulation roll is the ability to lay with the least number of joints, which allows you to better save heat. Characteristics table:
The TeploKnauf series is designed to make the independent insulation of dwellings and other buildings as simple and effective as possible. The assortment presented in the line allows you to purchase optimal view heat insulator for each specific case.
KNAUF Insulation - insulation for professional construction
For those who are engaged in the construction of buildings (or their insulation) professionally, a group of heat-insulating materials made of basalt fiber under the KNAUF Insulation brand has been developed. This category contains products with the most different characteristics adapted for any purpose.
Universal heat-insulating material. It is made in the form of plates, in two versions, differing in thickness - 10 or 5 cm. It is used for insulating any part of the house:
- for interfloor floors;
- pitched roof;
- walls;
- internal partitions (allows you to isolate rooms with different temperatures;
- floors, including above the basement or ground.
The material is characterized by high sound absorption, copes with the function of sound insulation. The slabs set an open space between the load-bearing joists.
Main characteristics in the table:
In the production of these boards, an innovative technology of processing of raw materials "Knauf Ecose" is used, thanks to which the work with Knauf mineral wool becomes very comfortable - the material is soft to the touch, does not crumble, is easy to cut, does not smell.
In the production of this type of insulation, a special technology is used to maximize the noise insulation properties. The effect is achieved due to the fibers of a special shape in the composition of the slabs - the basalt threads are very thin and long here.
it optimal choice for rooms where it is especially important good sound insulation- cinemas, clubs, production halls, hotels, kindergartens or hospitals. However, this resilient elastic insulation is perfect for residential buildings, and for apartments, if it is necessary not only to insulate the room, but also to protect it from intrusive noise from the outside. In any case, you can count on an excellent result of such sound insulation.
Knauf Acoustic insulation is produced in two main forms - plates and mats. Of the standard characteristics, you can specify the following:
This revolutionary development will especially appeal to those who value peace and quiet at home. The release form is so well calculated that a minimum of cuttings and waste remains during cutting and installation.
For maximum convenience and efficiency in thermal insulation of the roof, Knauf has released a line of heaters special purpose – Pitched roof.
Products from this category are produced in the form of mats and slabs. Used to insulate a pitched roof on wooden base, but also suitable for the floor on the logs in the attic. There are no restrictions on the type and purpose of buildings to be insulated for these materials. The special impregnation AQUASTATIK provides the heaters of this series with increased water resistance. Like all Knauf products made from basalt fiber, these products are not fire hazardous.
There are 4 types of insulation in the line:
Knauf roofing heaters will not only help keep warm in the house in winter, but also protect from the summer heat, as well as provide excellent sound insulation.
This modification thermal insulation materials was developed specifically for the insulation of external walls that have several layers (for example, brick cladding).
Thanks to the Aquastatik impregnation, Knauf Facade slabs practically do not absorb moisture. In addition, the material is characterized by excellent indicators of strength and elasticity, because it is made from special thin and long fibers (length 150 mm). It is made in the form of plates of two main types, slightly differing in characteristics:
Facade ThermoPlita 034A and ThermoPlita 032A. Technical specifications are shown in the table below:
Such material is perfect for thermal insulation of facades of any buildings - schools and hospitals, offices and residential buildings, industrial and agricultural premises. Insulation is placed in the form of an interlayer between two levels of the wall. Facade slabs Knauf are made of non-combustible material, which makes their use not only convenient, but also fireproof.
This brand of rolled insulation complies with all the above characteristics - high heat and sound insulation, 3D elasticity technology, environmental friendliness, fire resistance and protection from rodents. Mineral fiber in the composition of the product is characterized by high vapor permeability, which allows the house to "breathe" and maintain a comfortable indoor microclimate.
It is made in the form of large-volume rolls, in the KNAUF product line it is one of the most budgetary options. The size of a regular roll is 8.2 mx 1.22 m. Minvata in a roll is pressed in such a way that when unpacked it increases in volume almost 6 times. Soft and easy to use, this cotton wool is used in structures that are not subject to stress - with its help they insulate and soundproof:
- frame houses;
- pitched roofs;
- attic;
- overlapping between floors;
- interior partitions;
- floors on logs.
This affordable material is almost universal when insulating a residential building. Its density is slightly lower than that of other Knauf products - 10.5 kg / m3. Big square insulation in a roll allows you to lay it with a minimum number of joints, which significantly reduces heat loss.
The manufacturer is constantly expanding the range of its products, thanks to which EcoRoll is now available to customers in the form of plates.
Basalt insulation Knauf is a huge selection of heat-insulating materials of various shapes, sizes, density and other characteristics. This variety makes it possible to purchase a suitable product for any type of work. Common to them is great quality and durability, as well as the exceptional safety of all products of this brand.
Priorities Knauf company- continuous improvement of production technologies and strict quality control. This allows the German manufacturer to lead the world building materials market for many years.
In the heading | with tags, |Under the Knauf brand, not only excellent finishing materials are produced, but also good insulation made of mineral wool, fiberglass and foam. The choice is truly royal, but it is not easy to understand the numerous series and their areas of application. To determine what kind of insulation and where is better to use, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the description of the main lines from Knauf, their pros and cons.
Our review should start with dividing all German brand products into two large families of mineral wool (Insulation and TeploKnauf) and the Therm line of polystyrene boards. In each of them there are interesting options that differ from each other in their performance characteristics.
Product lines
1. HeatKnauf (glass wool).
- Knauf Dacha.
A budgetary series of heaters with rather weak insulating properties - 0.044 W / m ∙ K. The manufacturer honestly recommends this modification only for country houses periodic residence. In winter, judging by the reviews, the Dacha as a heater is really ineffective. Therefore, it is better to buy it not for housing, but to use it in auxiliary buildings like a garage.
- Knauf Home and Home Plus.
Plates 5 and 10 cm thick are used to insulate city apartments and private houses. Conductivity indicators are quite common for glass wool - 0.04 W / m ∙ K, all other properties are also quite average. However, buyers often leave negative reviews about this heater. Main complaints: inconsistency with the declared characteristics and poor acoustics.
- Knauf Cottage.
A universal insulation that can be used to insulate the walls and roof of a country house (read how to choose an insulation for the roof). Thanks to water-repellent impregnation boards are distinguished by good resistance to moisture, but this does not mean that they can be left unprotected special films... But the heat-saving characteristics are one of the best in this line (0.037 W / m ∙ K). Slabs are classic 50 mm and 100 mm thick in Knauf Cottage +.
Despite some differences in terms of insulating properties, all insulation options Heat Knauf have the same density of 11 kg / m3. This is a very low figure, which limits the scope of their application. Judging by the reviews, it is undesirable to use them in vertical and easily loaded structures. But in the roofing pie and between the floor logs, Knauf works well as a heater.
2. Knauf Insulation.
The line is positioned as a professional high-rigidity thermal insulation. Presented by rolled and slab glass wool materials:
- For walls.
Plates of the Teplo Stena-032A, 034A and 037A grades weighing from 25 to 34 kg / m3 are used in ventilated facade systems, as well as for thermal insulation of double structures made of bricks or building blocks. Separately, you can purchase the Heat Slab-037 modification for frame buildings. Not so long ago, Knauf presented an elastic novelty - Acoustic glass wool in the form of slabs. However, according to the residents' reviews, the effect of its use in ceilings and internal walls is felt with a layer of at least 100 mm.
- Insulation for roofs.
Insulation Heat The roof has a low specific weight (only 15 kg / m3) and high moisture resistance. In addition to the roof slopes, slabs can be used to sheathe the walls of the attic and even the floor, if it rests on logs. Also for roofing and filling interior partitions universal thermal insulation is suitable. It is produced in the form of Thermo Roll rolls with a density of 11 kg / m3, rigid sheets Heat Plate (15 kg / m3) in the version of Pitched Roof and Acoustic. The largest size differs roll insulation: with a width of 1.2 m, its length reaches 6-12.5 m.
The Insulation family has also found a place for more practical thermal insulation made of basalt fibers:
- NTV - hydrophobized slabs with a density of 35 to 150 kg / m3, laminated with foil or fiberglass. Insulation NTV panels are used for thermal insulation of industrial equipment, but on ventilated facades they also show their good side. They have a somewhat unusual size 1x0.5 m, so take this feature into account when installing the battens.
- LMF AluR is an unusual mineral insulation, where small strips of basalt wool are glued to an aluminum tape. The insulation is ideal for pipelines, underfloor heating and installation on building structures non-standard shape.
- FKD plates with a thickness of 20-180 mm and a density of 140-150 kg / m3 are used on facades with subsequent plastering... The insulation has a high resistance to tensile loads (15 kPa). Only FKL lamellas with a transverse position of the fibers can compete with it - the peel strength of the layers exceeds 100 kPa.
- WM 640/660 GG is a special roll insulation reinforced with galvanized mesh. It is used to insulate chimneys, boilers and tanks in which it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature.
- PVT are particularly rigid slabs designed for floating screeds or for placement under cement grout. With a density of 175 kg / m3, they can withstand a pressure of 50-60 kPa. Available in thicknesses from 20 to 120 mm.
- DDP - Knauf insulation for two-layer insulation flat roofs... The bottom sheets have a density of 105-110 kg / m3, specific gravity the upper ones are in the range of 150-200 kg / m3. The compressive strength of the second layer reaches 70 kPa. Also in the DDP range there are rectangular and wedge-shaped single-layer boards (RT, U and N).
Rigid EPS foam board, which is highly regarded for its light weight, moisture resistance and excellent thermal insulation performance. The series is quite numerous, since it covers materials for all types of work that ordinary mineral wool cannot cope with.
It is used when insulating floors under concrete pouring or built-in heating system. Polyfoam Knauf Pol can withstand a pressure of 1.4 kgf / cm2 and does not shrink. If this high strength is not required, the Concrete range can be used for floating screed. Sheets of this insulation work under a load of up to 1 kgf / cm2.
- Knauf Therm Facade.
Designed for external wall insulation and creates a flat surface suitable for plastering. Also to this series can be attributed slabs from the Therm Walls line used in frame construction, ventilation systems and for small-piece cladding.
- Therm Roof and Roof NL.
Heaters by Knauf for roofing works. In the basic version, they are used only on the surface flat roofs, in the NL version are also suitable for pitched. For insulation of roofs, attics and interfloor floors, you can also buy Therm Compack slabs, designed for a load of only 0.6 kgf / cm2.
4. Therm "5 in 1".
A rather large group of universal foam insulation with the best characteristics.
- D - suitable for any structures experiencing high loads: operated roofs, load-bearing walls, foundation up to 6 m deep. Insulation of this brand is easy to recognize by the step on the edge and the applied mesh markings.
- C - option for outdoor seamless structures for plaster finishing. Excellent adhesion to various mixtures the slabs are provided with a textured surface.
- Insulation Knauf Term F - used to insulate walls, floors, as well as the foundation of the building, garden paths and basements. One of the most durable types of polystyrene boards, withstanding a pressure of 1.5 kgf / cm2.
What do buyers think?
“I am not delighted with the new heaters Teplo Knauf: too soft and somehow“ liquid ”. Although they perform well in work, it is only due to the reduced dust formation. But it is difficult to find a place for them to use it - you will need a solid base and protection from above so that the cotton wool is not compressed. In short, she has only one road: the attic and the roof. "
Arthur Chernyavsky, Moscow.
“And I’m just outraged by Knauf’s attempt to promote conventional styrofoam at a clearly inflated price. I do not argue: it cannot be compared with our crumbling insulation PSB-S, but Knaufu Therm is far from extruded polystyrene. Drainage grooves and textured surface cannot increase the cost of the foam as much, so the manufacturer was clearly greedy here. "
Konstantin, Moscow region.
“Knauf Dacha is not suitable for outdoor use, for indoor use - with a big stretch, after all, the roll insulation is made of glass wool. In general, this series seems to me extremely unsuccessful. Even a simple attic had to be covered with three rolls of insulation in order to somehow keep warm. I have Insulation slabs on the walls and no problem. In the summer I will change everything to basalt. "
Ivan Viktorovich, Yekaterinburg.
“I read reviews of Knauf products and was very impressed that he does not prick his hands. When I tried it myself, I was convinced that there was really less dust. I also liked the thermal insulation in the installation: elastic, light, does not creep. So I can’t even put a high cost into a minus ”.
Anton Tereshko, Nizhny Novgorod.
“If we take into account only thermal insulation Knauf characteristics, there are no complaints about it - it keeps the temperature in the house perfectly in any frost. But there is no sound absorption from the plates. On the first floor it is not so noticeable, but in the attic you can hear the metal tile in the rain, like the insulation under the roof was not put. "
Vasily, St. Petersburg.
Summarize
Knauf amazes with the abundance of thermal insulation materials - in his assortment you can find everything to insulate your house from the foundation to the chimney. However, each series has its own pros and cons that have to be considered:
1. Fiberglass in the Insulation and Knauf Heat lines produces less dust than other brands. At the same time, it does not have the density at which one can seriously talk about sound insulation and strength.
2. Basalt fibers provide an order of magnitude better technical characteristics of the insulation. But so far Knauf, on their basis, produces only special types of thermal insulation - there are practically no universal proposals in this series.
3. Polystyrene is the most the best way in matters of complete isolation. However, its fire hazard does not dispose to thoughtless use along the entire contour of the house. And the manufacturer clearly increased the price, depriving the foam of the main advantage - availability.
Any Knauf insulation, provided it is used correctly, will be a good option for thermal insulation of residential and industrial facilities... In general, the materials of the German manufacturer are pleasing with high quality, although at the price they are in the middle segment of the market. An excellent combination for those who want to buy the best, but are not ready to overpay for insulation.
Price
When choosing heaters, most developers are looking for an option that combines the maximum of useful properties. It is important to maintain a favorable microclimate in the house, ensure the removal of vapors, prevent the accumulation of condensate, and protect residents from toxic synthetic substances. Traditionally, mineral wool is famous for such properties. The German company Knauf supplies the market with a wide range of insulation materials designed specifically for different conditions exploitation.
The manufacturer manufactures slab and roll insulation from fiberglass material obtained using the advanced Knauf Ecose technology from natural raw materials: basalt, sand and resins of natural origin. The finished product has all the necessary qualities:
1. Heat saving. The thermal conductivity coefficient is quite low (0.037-0.04 W / m2), which allows maintaining a comfortable temperature regime in the house.
2. Manufacturability. Elastic fiberglass adheres to building elements without air gaps, it is resistant to vibration and shrinkage, does not delaminate.
3. Low weight. Lightweight Knauf slabs and mats are less stressful supporting structure buildings, they are easier to mount.
4. Convenience of transportation and storage. High elasticity makes it possible to compress the insulation during transportation and storage - while they take up little space. After delivery, the material is straightened, completely restoring its shape and size. Reliable packaging film allows you to store Knauf insulation under the open sky under any conditions.
5. Noise isolation. According to reviews, insulation allows you to ensure silence in the house, even if there is a busy highway next to it.
6. Fire safety of the insulation. Fiberglass Minwata Knauf is non-flammable.
7. Water vapor permeability. Water vapor passes through the insulator without interference, providing optimal moisture parameters for the building and structures.
8. Chemical and biological resistance. Glass wool is odorless, does not rot, prevents the development of mold, does not enter into chemical reactions. Fiberglass is too tough for rats and mice.
9. Environmental friendliness. It is based on natural materials, and the technology of their processing does without formaldehyde and acrylic components, bleaches and dyes. During operation, when heated, during a fire, no harmful substances are released from the cotton wool.
Despite the many positive properties, Knauf heaters have a number of disadvantages that should be considered at the selection stage:
1. Hazardous to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Mechanical processing of glass wool produces fine particles of glass dust. Protect hands, eyes and breathing with gloves, goggles and a respirator. To prevent fiber particles from entering the room, this layer is securely covered with other materials.
2. Moisture permeability. After installing the insulation plates, they need reliable waterproofing, otherwise they will quickly lose their qualities.
To increase resistance to moisture, the company has developed a special Aquastatik technology.
Overview and description of thermal insulation properties
It is mounted on the walls and roofs of private houses and high-rise buildings. Divided into several groups:
1. Insulation TeploKNAUF - a line of products for private houses. This group includes roll and plate universal insulators, which are attached to walls, roofs, internal partitions, floors. They are divided into three subgroups:
- "Dacha" - recommended for seasonal residences. Their coefficient K = 0.044 W / m2, sheet thickness - 50 mm. During installation, observe the limitations on mechanical stress;
- "House" - used for year-round residences, they transmit less heat (K = 0.040). There are types with a thickness of 50 and 100 mm;
- "Cottage" - provide more high level protection from cold (K = 0.037), noise and moisture. Thickness - 50 and 100 mm.
They all have the same density - 11 kg / m3. Differ in linear dimensions, which allows you to narrow the target use of a particular type Knauf products.
2. Knauf Insulation - a group of facade, roofing and wall insulators designed for professional insulation of residential and industrial buildings.
What is Knauf Insulation? These are rolled or slab materials of increased rigidity, tightly adhering to both vertical and inclined bases.
Depending on the purpose of their application, they are divided into several types:
2.1. Facade heaters. This group includes three brands Knauf slabs: 032A (K = 0.032), 034A (K = 0.034) and 037A (K
= 0.037), with a density of 25-34 kg / m3. They are produced in thicknesses of 50 and 100 mm, their linear dimensions are 610x1250 mm. They are used for insulation of ventilation facades (in 1-2 layers), as a middle layer of insulation in houses with brick cladding and in sandwich panels, mounted under siding. The materials undergo moisture-proof treatment, almost do not crumble and have a long service life.
2.2. Roof. The HEAT Roofing series from Knauf has K = 0.034, 0.037 W / m, density equal to 15 kg / m3 and high moisture resistance. The series is suitable for roofs with timber frame, attic floor on logs, ceilings. The dimensions of the slabs are the same as for the previous type.
2.3. Universal insulation: Thermo Roll Knauf Insulation and the slab version of TEPLOplita 037. The roll is used to lay the floors of the mansards, attic and interfloor floors, floors on logs above the basements, fasten to the outer and interior walls and to the pitched roof. Feature of rolled Knauf: it is not too dense (11 kg / m3); with a width of 1200 mm, there are several lengths (from 6 to 12.5 m).
Knauf Heating plate 037 (50х610х1250, 100х610х1250) with a density of 15 kg / m3 is recommended for pitched roofs, ceilings, walls of frame houses, partitions.
Knauf thermal insulation price
The average cost of a cubic meter of insulation in Moscow and the Moscow region:
As you can see from the table, you can buy Knauf Insulation at a price that is much lower than the cost of Penoplex (from 3,500 rubles / m3) and Izomin (2,100 rubles / m3).
Reviews and opinions on Knauf products
“I have experience in assembling Knauf“ Cottage ”(50 mm). There is practically no dust: compared to ordinary mineral wool, hands do not itch - just super. One drawback: poorly holding its shape - soft like a blanket. When installing the top sheet, you do not feel whether it rests on the bottom sheet or there is a gap. But still, I will only insulate the attic with Knauf so that there are no harmful substances and he has served for a long time - not less than 40 years ”.
Alexander Stelmakh, Moscow.
I chose Dacha glass wool after first reading Knauf's product catalog. This rolled insulation is lightweight, I cut it with an ordinary painting knife, however, I worked with gloves (prickly). The main thing is that mineral wool does not burn - I have a wooden dacha. The tree breathes under this material, the vapors pass through the insulation, and then there is an air gap, waterproofing and siding - such a "layer cake" does not let the cold pass. The house is warm, but not stuffy. The walls can be insulated from the inside, profiles can be installed and then sheathed with plasterboard. "
Oleg Stankevich, Samara.
“I have built frame extension to the frame and on the walls laid Knauf heat plate 50 mm. The attic was insulated between the rafters with a pitched roof in two layers (100 and 50 mm), and the walls of the first floor were insulated with 100 mm Knauf "Cottage" slabs. There were no problems during installation - the material between the bars keeps perfectly. After installation, the walls were tightened with waterproofing and finishing work. Now about thermal insulation: in winter, even in the most severe frosts, the temperature in the house did not drop below 21 °, and in the extension it was +18. The only negative: the roof is made of metal, the rain is thundering on it - I'm not happy with the Knauf sound insulation. "
Sergey, Yekaterinburg.
“To insulate the floor in the house, I decided to lay TEPLOroll 040 and did not regret it. The cost of insulation in rolls Knauf Insulation is advantageous in that you can choose the packaging by square - from 15 to 30 m2. I bought a 6-meter long roll - there are fewer joints. The mat is flexible, adheres well to the surface, it is a pleasure to work with it. In general, Knauf is a very well-known company - no need to worry about harmful fumes, just to avoid running into a fake. The floor turned out to be warm - you can even walk barefoot in the corridor. "
Foreword... Mineral wool "Knauf" is famous for its rich assortment of excellent quality. It is very important that the Knauf mineral wool consists of natural components, which means it is safe, will not cause allergies or illness.
