It is the certification authority monitoring mineral wool products that are not classified as carcinogenic according to EUCEB (European Certification Board for mineral wool products) 1272/2008 /EC numbered European Directive. Glass wool and stone wool products that have EUCEB Certificate are fibers proved not to be carcinogenic.
Glass wool and stone wool products with EUCEB Certificate are fibers proved not to be carcinogenic. Because of this, EUCEB certificate is very important for mineral wool products. Independent sampling institution takes samples from manufacturers with the certificate biannually and sends this sample to an independent test center for chemical analysis. The results received are checked by EUCEB Quality Board. In addition, facilities share the reports of fiber belonging to the product they produce each week regularly with EUCED and reports are audited by independent experts. Therefore, EUCEB guarantee continues for the duration of the certificate. EUCEB Certificate proves that Izocam Stone Wool and Izocam Glass Wool products are not harmful for health for the duration of their use.
The most important point that distinguishes İzocam from its competitors is that we are the only company in Turkey and the world that can produce seven different insulation products under one roof. Our product portfolio includes glass wool, rock wool, extruded polystyrene (foamboard), expanded polystyrene (İzopor, İzopor Plus), rubber foam (İzocamflex, Optiflex), polyethylene foam (İzocam PEflex), PU/PIR/rock wool insulated sandwich panels (İzocam Tekiz), and trapezoidal sheets.
No, they can be insulated with valve jackets...
No, prefabricated glass wool pipes should be used.
Laying non-vapor-permeable mats, such as nylon or polyethylene, over the fiberglass roofing mat insulation is unsafe. These mats prevent water vapor from entering the warmer side (the bottom) from passing through the insulation and hitting these mats. These mats act as a barrier. Condensing water vapor on the colder surface of the mat causes the insulation to become wet and deteriorate. If there is a water leakage problem originating from the roof, the problem must be resolved by addressing the waterproofing in the roof sheathing.
Thermal insulation can be applied from the floor. However, due to the rising ground level, it is not often preferred in existing buildings. It is generally more suitable for newly constructed buildings. In existing buildings, installing it from the ceiling of the lower floor is an easier and preferred method.
Each thermal insulation material has different properties. Certain products may stand out depending on the location. For example, stone wool is a very advantageous product because it provides both thermal, acoustic, and fire insulation. However, it should not be used on walls or terraced roofs that come into contact with the ground. XPS is the most suitable material in such situations. While almost any material can be used in attics, when comparing the savings and costs, the most suitable product stands out as a fiberglass roofing mat, which is both fireproof and provides sound insulation.
The most important factor affecting the cost of insulation materials is the location of application. Covering the materials is another parameter. For example, a fiberglass roofing mat in an unused attic requires no covering and can be economically implemented due to its ease of application. In an exterior wall insulation application, the cost of the insulation material is much less than the combined costs of plaster, adhesive, labor, and scaffolding. While the insulation material provides energy savings, the quality of the other materials ensures the long-term, healthy protection of the system.
If the materials are manufactured, stored, and installed in accordance with standards, their lifespan generally lasts the lifespan of the building. The thickness of insulation materials in areas that do not require a covering (such as fiberglass roofing mats in the attic) should be checked annually, depending on the conditions of the application area, and additional thickness should be applied if any decrease is observed.
The time varies depending on the location, floor, and system.
The best solution to this noise problem is to take precautions on the side where the sound is emitting. Floating floor installation and Kalibel, Optimum or Konfor applications on the walls can reduce the noise level reaching neighbors.
Insulating the roof can solve the problem of overheating in the summer. If the attic is not used, you can solve this by laying down roofing underlayment or roll-up roofing. You can get technical advice from regional offices regarding thicknesses and different types of roofs.
Insulation can save you at least 60% on both your heating and cooling expenses.
