Stone Wool
The construction sector, where the most work volume has taken place in recent years, creates a sector within itself, through different products, with the materials used in different units. Partitions and facades, which are among the indispensable units of every building and structure, contribute positively to the insulation production as well as the stone industry.
There is a need to insulate the buttresses, columns, partition walls and especially the interior and exterior walls in this construction.
Alternative products can be used for the insulation of factors such as sound-heat-humidity existing in overpopulated and over-limited buildings, which are among the disadvantages that can be shown in addition to the advantages brought by modern construction.
What is Stonewool?
Stonewool, which has become popular in recent years and has the feature of being produced in different qualities and forms, is one of the artificial block types used in the insulation sector. Although the use of stone wool started in the current century, the inspiration for its use goes back to approximately 150 years ago.
The first and primitive method of the product known as rock wool was introduced after the event, which was discovered as a result of the cooling of the lava coming out of an erupted volcano within a certain period of time and spreading to the environment by changing its form, especially with the effect of the wind.
On the information referenced by this event; Insulating blocks used as rockwool is a material included in the volcanic rocks category, which is included in the natural rocks group. This product, which has many advantages due to the natural minerals contained in it, is frequently used in insulation projects in the current century; It is a product of high quality, durable and attractive conditions.
Where is Stonewool Used?
Stonewool was first described under the conditions in which it was discovered and the conditions it has.
Due to its properties, it was used only in the insulation industry. But today
As a result of technological revolutions and current studies, simple block transitions,
manufacturing of prefabricated housing enclosures and household electronic products
continue to be used in various fields, including
It is.
The most important thing is that it can be used in different areas.
feature; multiple insulation purposes it has in one body
due to its hosting.
Stonewool, also known as “stone wool”, continues to be widely used for the following purposes in general:
Thermal insulation
Although the insulation works are seen as fixed blocks mounted on a certain facade in terms of appearance, the planning stage, the determination of the purpose of use and the analysis of the result to be obtained, and also the assembly stage cover a very critical process.
Insulation of any place can provide different assembly planning in terms of usage purpose and time planning.
The basic condition to be prioritized for thermal insulation; It can be expressed as the absence of energy loss in the place to be insulated and the absence of problems such as mold or moisture retention in the working area after the insulation process.
For this reason, ÖZPOR; It prioritizes exterior insulation for the methods requested within the scope of thermal insulation demands. Starting the thermal insulation in buildings from the outside as much as possible; It will also prevent heat losses from thermal bridges and internal surface moisture and mold formation caused by these bridges.
In thermal insulation projects, which is one of the usage areas of stone wool, it is recommended to carry out studies in accordance with this information.
Sound insulation
Sound insulation is one of the most important demands of modern constructions. The only critical solution to the sound permeability situation, which has come to the forefront as a problem brought by the construction techniques of the last 10 years; is to insulate between existing abutments and blocks.
Sound insulation is possible with blocks that have different properties than other insulation techniques. While it is sufficient for a building to be closed to external threats for fire or heat insulation, the situation is completely different in sound insulation.
In order to isolate noise and sound environments, the units used as blocks must have sound absorbing properties, not sound absorbers. Since the sounds will not be lost in the environment despite decibel reduction, open-pore blocks are needed to act as a containment system.
Closed porous blocks are not functional for sound insulation, as are XPS, EPS, Polyurethane materials manufactured as insulation products. Only porous materials such as glass wool and rock wool can be used in sound insulation projects. These materials prevent discomfort by absorbing the sounds in the transition between the blocks for which insulation is requested.
Fire Insulation
Fire is one of the most destructive disasters that can occur from natural conditions as well as from daily life usage conditions. Taking any precautions after the fire has started will not be a solution. For this reason, fire insulation should be done primarily in building constructions in order to be prepared for fire.
The biggest problem encountered at this stage is to make more than one protective layer, including sound and heat. Since this will cause both cost and space loss; Rockwool insulation blocks produced with the assurance of ÖZPOR are a miraculous solution that provides the most advantageous conditions for every user.
These blocks, which can make sound and heat insulation due to their structure, also function as an excellent fire insulation material because they have volcanic rock properties and are exposed to heat up to 1600 degrees during production.
Due to its structure, non-combustible and non-flammable rockwool; With the quality and assurance of ÖZPOR, it is produced according to TS EN 12667 standards with CE certified values between 0,035≤λ≤0,040 W/mK.
