ISOVER thermal insulation Sauna series. Modern bath with isover sauna Nuances of insulation installation
Although the bath is a rather warm structure, one room in it needs to be warmed. We are talking about a steam room, in the walls and ceiling of which an isover sauna is laid. And this material does its job, leaving the warmth inside, so necessary for this room. This is one of the main reasons for using isover insulation for a bath.
Isover sauna heater refers to materials of mineral origin. Consists of many fibers intertwined. Therefore, the weight of each canvas is quite small, which is achieved by the presence of air space between the thinnest threads. All together gives a dense insulation that perfectly keeps the temperature inside the room..
Each sheet has a reflective screen in the form of a foil. During the manufacturing process, the metallized component is firmly fixed with mineral fibers.
A strong connection is achieved by baking a non-woven fabric in special ovens. The foil screen does not peel off from the base even when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
It does not affect the strength of the connection and the steam in this room of the bath.
Foil insulation is available in two versions:
- 5 cm thick;
- 10 cm thick.
The thickness of each layer of thermal insulation is over the sauna at 50 mm is enough to retain the warm air left inside the steam room. At the same time, additional elements are not required for the installation of the material. Isover Sauna 50 insulation is simply inserted between the wooden bars of the frame.
The canvas has a width of 120 cm, so before laying it should be cut into two equal parts. For this, a construction or clerical knife with a blade length of at least 100 mm is used. Halves 60 cm wide are necessary so that the frame of the walls or ceiling does not have large sags. The distance between the bars in this case should be no more than 59 cm. The joints and the rails themselves should be sealed with a special metallized adhesive tape. Thus, the aluminum heat-reflecting screen will turn out to be solid and monolithic.
The cost of Izover for a bath
The cost of thermal insulation isover sauna directly depends on its thickness. But this is not the only factor affecting the price of this product. Much depends on the company offering this product to the buyer. Comparing the indicators of different sites, it is worth highlighting the following data:
- foil insulation for an isover bath 50 mm thick with a price of 1658 rubles;
- foil insulation for an isover bath 100 mm thick with a price of 1850 rubles.
When purchasing thermal insulation, you should carefully study the offers of sellers. This is important because the product may not be available in the company's warehouses.
Reviews about the heater isover sauna
Quality isover sauna products are in great demand among builders and owners of country houses. Many share their impressions about this material. To finally verify the reliability of thermal insulation for baths, it is worth listening to buyers.
I was very satisfied with the isover thermal insulation for baths. There is no need to invent new ways to vapor barrier walls and ceilings. Everything is convenient. The roll already has both insulation and a reflective screen. Mounted quickly, does not require additional investment in fasteners. The vapor permeability is amazing. The only disappointment is the price of the roll. I would like it cheaper.

We built a bathhouse with my husband in the country. And we decided to try Isover for a bath. I liked this foil thermal insulation, because it is convenient to work with it. The husband quickly insulated the ceiling and walls. Problems arose only with the joints. The adhesive tape moved away from the surface of the metal screen in several places, but they took another one and fixed everything. The thermal insulation itself serves faithfully. In the steam room, and in the bath itself, it is always warm, no matter what the weather is outside.
Olga. Moscow
On the advice of friends, I decided to buy an isover when I built a bathhouse. He insulated the steam room so that it did not blow and it was possible to bathe calmly. Satisfied with the result. Warmed everything up quickly. The material is easy to work with. The inconvenience is delivered by flying particles of fiberglass. Without special gloves and a respirator, I do not recommend laying canvases. Otherwise, I have no complaints.

Insulation ISOVER Sauna is a thermal insulation based on fiberglass with a foil coating on one side. For better durability, polished aluminum foil is secured with a fine mesh. This reduces the risk of tearing the foil layer along or across. Thermal insulation Sauna is produced in the form of mats. It is used for insulation of walls, floors along logs and ceilings (ceilings) of rooms with high humidity. For its production, soda, sand, limestone and a small amount of a binder are used.
Izover Sauna provides reliable thermal protection of the room due to the foil coating. The foil reflects about 95% of the heat back into the room. 5% of the heat that has passed through it is retained by the mineral glass wool. All Isover products have a low thermal conductivity of 0.041 W / m K, due to the large number of voids with air between the fibers. Its density is 30 kg / m 3.
The use of foil insulation solves two problems at once - insulation and vapor barrier, since the steam that settles on the surface of the foil in the form of condensate drains from it, thanks to which the glass wool is reliably protected from water. To all this, the absence of the need to lay a vapor barrier saves time and labor costs for the construction or repair of a bath or sauna.
Positive characteristics of Izover mats:
- environmentally friendly material, both for humans and for the environment;
- have a long service life (subject to the rules of installation and use);
- non-combustible and frost-resistant;
- not interested in insects and rodents as a source of food;
- resistant to alkalis and many acids;
- do not shrink throughout the entire period of operation.
ISOVER insulation not only perfectly retains heat inside the sauna, but also is a good sound insulation. Rolls are produced with a thickness of 5 and 10 cm, a length of 12.5 and 6.25 m, a width of 1.2 m. One package can cover 15 or 7.5 m 2. Thermal insulation Sauna from the Isover company has the first degree of flammability (G1), while its base is non-combustible. The destruction of the material begins after exceeding the temperature of +400°C. Izover Sauna insulation is used only for warming wooden surfaces.
The nuances of installing insulation
To install mats, it is necessary to equip the frame. The recommended distance between the racks is 60 cm. The Izover thermal insulation roll is cut into 2 halves of 60 cm each. This method will ensure reliable fixation of the foil insulation without the use of additional fasteners. The rolls are installed between the racks in a spacer, so that the glass wool completely covers the entire space, without cracks and gaps. A sharp knife with a blade length of at least 15 cm is recommended for cutting.
Izover mats are installed with the foil side inside the room. All joints between the rolls are glued with aluminum tape. Thanks to him, moisture will not be able to penetrate the mineral wool. Between the foil insulation and the interior trim, a ventilation gap of 1.5-2.5 cm must be left so that the accumulated moisture can drain and ventilate, and not accumulate. To do this, it is necessary to equip a counter-lattice with a thickness of bars of 1.5-2.5 cm. After that, they proceed to fixing the finish coating.
When working with a heater, personal protective equipment should be used. Dust emitted by fiberglass insulation can be harmful to human health - irritation of the skin, respiratory tract and mucous membranes of the eyes.
Izover Product Reviews
“A couple of years ago we decided to buy a small private house with a sauna. As it turned out, to heat it in winter, you need a lot of firewood, as the bars dried up and cracked. There are cracks and drafts everywhere, although we patched up most of it. We immediately realized that we needed to insulate it. After listening to the reviews of friends, we decided to purchase Izover Sauna, as this insulation has excellent quality, characteristics and a very affordable price. For our small bath it took only two rolls. I laid them strictly according to the instructions, cut them in half and put them in a spacer in the frame. Installation of all mats went quickly and without problems. Now the bath heats up 2 times faster.
Egor, Yekaterinburg.
“I am a professional builder and this is not the first time I have used Isover insulation for saunas and baths. I can say for sure that this is a quality material with good characteristics and density, and I always leave only positive reviews about it on the sites. With proper and competent installation, it can last more than 30 years. The main thing is to ensure the complete tightness of all joints with aluminum tape and make a ventilation gap for ventilation. Then the insulation will not deteriorate, and the lining will not rot. Izover mats are easily cut with a regular knife. While working with him, by the way, it is imperative to use personal protective equipment, otherwise skin irritation and coughing are provided.
Alexander, St. Petersburg.
“Reading the reviews about the effect of the ISOVER Sauna foil layer of thermal insulation, I did not fully believe that it could give such a great result. But since my bath was in need of repair, I decided to check it out. I bought thermal insulation with a thickness of 100 mm, since in winter it often happens in our country for -30 ° C. Hired specialists for installation, as there is simply no time to do it. I was surprised how quickly all the work was done. It turns out that the rolls do not need to be fixed with anything, they are simply inserted into the frame. Already in the first furnace of the bath, I noticed the result. She heated up faster than before, and the steam lasted a long time.
Maxim, Nizhny Novgorod.
“We insulated the floor, walls and ceiling with the Sauna in the bath. We chose this particular heater, since it is affordable and has a lot of positive reviews about it. All installation work was carried out by ourselves, as there is already a similar experience. Glass wool is elastic, with good density. Disassembled quickly after unpacking. The mats are easy to insert into the frame. It is convenient that they do not need to be fixed with anything, since they themselves sit tightly and securely in the frame. Now it takes much less fuel and time to heat up to a comfortable temperature. We are very pleased with the result, we are absolutely not sorry for the efforts spent.”

isover. Which insulation is better: in slabs or in rolls?
In this video you will find out which insulation is easier to work with: in slabs or in rolls. The main characteristic showing the quality of the insulation material is its recoverability. High-quality material has the ability to recover to the stated dimensions after opening the package, which was demonstrated in the video. The thickness of Isover insulation, both in slabs and in rolls, after opening the package, recovered to 50 mm. To install the insulation in the slabs, it is necessary to measure the distance between the racks of the frame. The slabs are ideal for wall insulation with a standard distance between frame posts of 600 mm. When installing the plates, joints are formed, which must be covered with a second layer of plates. Insulation in rolls is best used with a non-standard step between the racks of the frame. First, the distance between the posts is measured, then the unpacked roll is cut to the required size and rolled along the entire length of the wall. When insulated with rolls, joints are not formed. All Isover materials are highly resilient and securely held in place.
Isover: How safe are thermal insulation materials?
In this video, you will learn how safe the use of mineral wool is for your health and the health of your family. The safety of mineral wool is confirmed by eco-labels, as well as studies in major research centers, such as, for example, the Institute of Hygiene. Sysina. In addition to these guarantees, Isover provides an environmental declaration for its products. Thermal insulation based on mineral wool is used in all buildings and structures, including kindergartens, schools, hospitals. Another sign of the absolute safety of mineral wool is its incombustibility and fire safety, which is confirmed by certificates of compliance with fire safety requirements.
Isover: Which thermal insulation is better: stone wool or fiberglass?
Isover is the only company in Russia that produces mineral wool based on fiberglass and stone wool. Rock wool insulation is based on molten rocks, and fiberglass insulation is based on sand and cullet melted at 1000 °C. Stone fiber materials are denser than glass fiber materials, which is primarily due to the length of the fibers in the production of the base for the insulation. But density is not a determining parameter when choosing a heater. The main characteristics are thermal conductivity and mechanical characteristics. If we compare materials by application, insulation based on both types of mineral wool is divided into three types: Light grades are used in frame structures, for insulating walls, and pitched roofs. Such a heater does not take on any load. Rigid grades are used in plaster facades, flat loaded roofs. Highly specialized materials are used for soundproofing partitions and for insulating saunas and baths. Fiberglass-based materials are lighter than stone wool-based materials. Due to the length of the fibers, they have greater elasticity, which allows filling all the irregularities and voids of the insulated surface, eliminates the formation of "cold bridges" and provides reliable fixation in the structure. Both types of materials are non-combustible materials, do not propagate and do not support combustion. Now that you know the differences between the two types of mineral wool, you will make the right and objective choice of thermal insulation material for your home.
Isover: Is the density of thermal insulation materials important?
Is the density of mineral wool insulation a decisive characteristic when choosing a heater? You will find the answer to this question in this video. The density of the heat-insulating material affects the coefficient of thermal conductivity, strength characteristics and other parameters. But this relationship is not linear. The dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient on the density of the material is the same for fiberglass and stone wool. For fiberglass-based insulation, the optimal density range, which provides the minimum thermal conductivity coefficient, is 25-35 kg / m3. For insulation based on stone wool - 45-55 kg / m3. Thus, stone wool is able to provide the same thermal insulation characteristics, but at higher densities. Remember that when purchasing heat-insulating materials, we acquire the heat-insulating qualities of the product, and not its density. Even a light fiberglass heat-insulating board with a density of 60 kg/m3 is able to withstand a large load without deformation. Therefore, when choosing a heater, first of all, pay attention to the coefficient of thermal conductivity, durability, incombustibility and environmental friendliness.
It is simply impossible to imagine a countryside vacation with friends in Russia without a sauna or bath. It's just an age-old tradition to take a steam bath in order to actually feel alive and enjoy the "rest of the body and soul."
But the presence of a sauna or bath calls you to look after them, maintain and constantly monitor the condition of the entire building. And it is very important that thermal insulation be provided for a bath or sauna, without which, no matter how strange it may sound, baths and saunas simply cannot function properly. we recommend starting with Izover products.
