Basalt wool

I am rebuilding a private house and building additional rooms. The house stands in an open area, it is constantly blown by the wind, so in winter it is always cool inside. It became clear that without wall insulation this problem can not be solved. My friends advised me to use glass wool, but I wanted to buy something newer and better for home.

I found the site of the company "First House", there are several types of modern insulation. The seller of the store recommended using basalt insulation Technofas Cottage for my purposes. It has such advantages as: fire resistance, service life up to 50 years, heat and sound insulation, waterproof, conducts steam and is resistant to rodents and insects.

For me, these factors became decisive and I began to warm the house with the help of Tekhnofas Cottage products. The house has become warmer and quieter due to sound insulation. In general, I was satisfied.

Soundproofing, quality.

I am engaged in construction and installation works throughout our mother Russia. I want to leave a review about one manufacturer of basalt wool in Russia - the company MacForte. We use mainly for heat and sound insulation in various rooms. There is a different cotton wool and different density, based on the applications and requirements for sound insulation. We mainly use it for walls and ceilings - Maxforte Ekoplita and Maxforte Ekoplita Pro (professional line) for enhanced sound insulation. For comparison, the test ducts at the NIIISF 50 mm Maxforte Ecoplite replaces 150 mm min of cotton wool Rockwool Acoustic Batts !!! I also want to note the excellent density and high quality of this 100% basalt wool !!!

high quality basalt wool
environmental friendliness
significantly less dust and less dust than analogues
high sound insulation properties in the construction
high acoustic performance
if small packages of 2.4 sqm

I’ll probably say the cost, but it's worth it

Engaged in cladding facades of private housing. From customers only positive feedback. I like low thermal conductivity, good sound absorption, Basvul has a high density, since even light 45 is hard to touch and suitable for siding.

reasonable price, assortment, low thermal conductivity, good sound insulation

no cons

The material fully met expectations. There were doubts, because the price was lower than the nearest competitors, but decided to rely on the reviews of the superintendent. An ideal combination of price and quality.

well dampens noise, easy to install and affordable. For those who do not want to pay for well-known brands, but rely on quality. They say that 95% consists of pure basalt and is absolutely environmentally friendly.

There were doubts about the choice, because the brand is not untwisted.

I live in a private house, and as our family is gradually growing, I have to attach additional rooms. We had to attach the children's bedroom from the wrong side, where a strong wind blew in winter, and after the first winter it became clear that without warming the walls in the room it would always be cool.

The first thought was the traditional glass wool, it was also recommended by parents who did not even hear about other heaters. But the seller in the store talked about basalt wool, which was used to build the store.

The main advantages for the purchase was the fact that basalt insulation can be installed not only on the wall, but also on the roof, pipes and various floors.

We used basalt insulation almost everywhere: on the walls, on the floor, in the attic. It turned out to be a little pricey pleasure, but it’s been a year since we finished the perestroika, but we can’t get enough of it. The heat in the house lasts longer, and on the walls that are constantly damp, finally dry!

simplicity in work, keeps heat, provides good noise isolation

not found for a year of operation

In recent years, the problem has arisen of roof insulation in the country - the standard gable. In windy weather it became cold, the heat from the stove instantly disappeared. We decided to stay on the BELTEP brand basalt wool. Pleased with the price, and friends advised as a quality insulation.

I can’t say anything about the installation, because the builders did this work (by the way, the tiles were cut with a knife), but the thermal insulation properties are on top - there are no more problems with cold, and in the summer it became easier to breathe, the roof practically does not heat up. The manufacturer also promises a long service life.Based on my own experience, I can say that our roof has been covered with cotton only for a year, and my friends have been 5 years old and they are happy: no changes during this period.

I would like to note such important advantages as incombustibility and waterproofness. Steam can freely pass through the stoves, and moisture will not accumulate. A wide selection of options will help you choose the type of basalt wool for your purposes, taking into account the density, thickness, etc.

does not burn, does not get wet, excellent heat-insulating qualities, does not deform, passes steam

My girlfriend bought a private house two winters ago. The deal took place in the fall, the former mistress assured that the cold is not terrible, the walls are thick. However, in reality it was not so. At minus 15 in the rooms it became fresh. And my girlfriend’s children are small and my mother is elderly. Everybody loves warmly.

Somehow we survived the first winter, and with the onset of heat we decided to insulate the walls of the house. There was money, so they bought Rockwool basalt cotton wool. Expensive! The seller praised: both environmentally friendly, and very warm, and will serve 35-40 years.

They hired specialists, the walls were insulated from the inside (reinsured), because moisture can get outside. And any basalt cotton wool does not tolerate water. All her vaunted qualities disappear immediately when she gets wet.

This winter, my girlfriend is not afraid of frost. It is warm in the house and comfortable. And she did not feel sorry for the money spent on basalt wool, especially since she began to pay less for electricity. I don’t know if this cotton wool will last more than 30 years, time will tell. But so far, everything that the seller talked about is confirmed.

Very warm, energy saving, long service life with proper operation.

High price, basalt cotton wool "afraid" of water
