Isoplat plates for exterior cladding of a house - material properties and installation technology

Are you looking for an environmentally friendly thermal insulation material that can be used for exterior decoration of a country house? There is such a material, it is environmentally friendly, easy to install, and in addition, it is characterized by excellent heat and sound insulating properties. We are talking about Isoplat plates, which are becoming more and more popular every year in Russia and the CIS countries.

Material Basics

ISOPLAAT (ISOPLAT) is a wide range of insulating materials designed for thermal insulation and wind protection of the house. The product range of the brand includes materials for insulating floors, walls and roofs.

Performance characteristics of ISOPLAAT products
	Environmental friendliness. In the manufacture of insulating material, adhesives and impregnations containing phenol are not used. The composition of the insulation does not contain components with a carcinogenic effect.
	Insulation against heat loss from the inside. Insulating material in terms of thermal conductivity is comparable to today's popular mineral wool. Therefore, the external wall cladding will make the house more economical and energy efficient.
	Heat insulation from the outside. External wall cladding will make the house look like a thermos. As a result, in the hot summer the house will be cool and air conditioning will not be needed. The optimum temperature in the house is maintained for 15 hours, provided that both the walls and the roofing cake are insulated.
	Soundproofing properties. Due to the structure with many micro-cavities, fiber boards are characterized by a high soundproofing capacity, which increases in proportion to the increase in the thickness of the material.
	Air permeability and hygroscopicity. Plates used as cladding allow air to pass through without compromising the heat-insulating qualities. This quality significantly reduces the likelihood of mold inside the building. Moreover, Isoplat, passing air from the outside, absorbs moisture from it, and then releases this moisture to the outside. Therefore, in houses with such breathing walls it will be dry.
	Bactericidal properties. In the production of boards, starch and sugar are naturally removed from the thickness of the wood. As a result, the finished insulating material, due to the lack of a nutrient medium, loses its attractiveness for microorganisms. Antiseptic impregnations are not used in the manufacture of this environmentally friendly material!
	Ease of installation. Despite the high efficiency of the insulation system, the installation of boards is easier than insulating building objects with mineral wool. As a result, the installation can be done by hand and save on the services of professional installers.

It is important to remember that the ISOPLAAT material is manufactured only by the trade and production association SKANO GROUP (Estonia).

There are no enterprises engaged in the production of these materials either on the territory of Russia or on the territory of other countries except Estonia. Therefore, if you are offered to buy non-Estonian Isoplat plates, be aware that this is a fake.

Are there analogues? Isoplat brand products are not unique and there are plates with similar characteristics on the market. These materials are sold under the brands BELTERMO (Belarus) and STEICO (Poland).

External cladding materials

For the exterior cladding of the house, Isoplat plate material is used, made from coniferous wood shavings mixed with a kind of wood resin - lignin.

The structure of lignin is similar to the structure of reinforced concrete, only here the function of reinforcement is performed by cellulose fibers. As a result, a board of wood origin, with a low density, is highly durable in comparison with other types of insulating building materials.

Illustrations	What can be used for external wall insulation?
	Wind protection plate. Such insulation is used to protect external walls from strong cold winds. The material is equally successfully installed over solid walls and laid inside frame structures. The plate is characterized by high bending strength, and therefore acts as a stiffener for the insulated structure. Thickness 12mm, 25mm. Width 800 mm, 1200 mm. Length 2700 mm, 2400 mm.
	Heat-insulating (sound-proof) plates. Such insulation is used to reduce the thermal conductivity of external walls. In addition to low thermal conductivity, the plate has a high sound-absorbing and dissipating ability. Along with the sheathing of external walls, the material is used to fill interior partitions. Thickness 12mm, 25mm. Width 1200 mm. Length 2700 mm.
	UNIVERSAL. These finishing modules have a milled thorn-groove lock around the perimeter. UNIVERSAL modules are a universal solution for interior decoration and external sound, heat and wind insulation. Due to the lock connection, the use of modules is characterized by the complete absence of cold bridges! Thickness 25mm, 50mm. Width 600 mm, 1200 mm. Length 1800 mm.
	ISOMODUL. This is another category of universal material suitable for wall cladding and laying in the base of the floor and roof structures. But unlike UNIVERSAL, there is no lock around the perimeter. Thickness 50 mm. Width 625 mm. Length 1200 mm.

Installation of Isoplat in frame construction

How to insulate walls for a ventilated facade? Consider the cladding technology using the example of a frame house. In this case, a 25 mm thick wind protection plate is marked and cut in such a way as to cover the distance between two adjacent posts.

The plates are fastened with galvanized nails or anodized self-tapping screws, and both fasteners are hammered or screwed directly into the frame racks.

If wind protection modules with a locking connection around the perimeter are used, then the cold bridges are blocked due to the entry of the spike into the groove. If slabs without tongue and groove joints are used, additional sealing of the joint will be required.

This can be done using polyurethane mounting foam, which is blown into the seam, where it expands and polymerizes. Sealing with polyurethane foam will not only eliminate the appearance of cold bridges, but also increase the rigidity of the wall sheathing.

After the outer part of the walls is lined, the crate is stuffed for the installation of a ventilated facade. The choice of the method of framing is determined by the type of finishing material that will be installed during finishing. For example, the photo shows a vertical crate for installing horizontal siding.

Since the facade will be ventilated, the crate must be assembled in such a way that a sufficient gap is formed between the finishing cladding layer and the windproof material. To do this, when assembling the crate, it is enough to use a bar 40 × 40 mm, installed in increments of 50 cm.

Fastening of wooden bars is carried out with self-tapping screws directly to Isoplat, the density of which will be sufficient to hold the crate with the facade cladding.

Insulation of external walls under plaster

Is it possible to insulate external walls with Isoplat for subsequent plastering? Yes, there is such an opportunity, but on one condition - you need to use plates with a thickness of 25 mm or more.

The insulating wood board absorbs moisture like a sponge, but unlike ordinary particle board, which swells, the material subsequently releases moisture to the outside. Now imagine the plaster laid on top of Isoplat. The plate is immediately moistened, but in the process of setting the plaster, the insulation will give off moisture, so that the finish layer will not crack.

Insulation of external walls using the frameless method is preceded by the preparation of the mounting surface. The wall is leveled and the relief is completely removed from it. Then the plates are attached to the wall in a run-up with dowel-nails 75 mm long.

At the same stage, a plaster mesh is attached over the thermal insulation layer. Plastering is carried out on a grid in two layers: the first layer is rough, the second is finishing.

Summing up

Isoplat is a modern material, using which you can make your home warmer and more comfortable. If you still have questions about the technology of working with Isoplat insulating boards, ask them in the comments to the article.

Building material ISOPLAAT- These are high-quality panels made using a unique technology. ISOPLAAT consists of milled fibers of coniferous trees, the binder is not chemical additives, but natural resins. In this regard, the material is considered environmentally friendly.

Application area

Sheathing has found wide application in the field of housing construction. The most common uses for ISOPLAAT are:

• erection . Various construction companies use windbreak panels for this. They can be installed both outside the frame and inside the structure, providing even greater heat and sound insulation. It is worth noting that when installed on a frame, the sheet may bend, especially at a high level of humidity.
• Repair and improvement of wooden and stone houses. You can update the old stone or you can use windproof sheathing, while removing a layer of old decorative trim, ISOPLAAT is laid, and on top of it - external trim such as siding or clapboard. In such a situation, sound and heat insulation is improved.
• Roof insulation. Roof slabs have the same properties as windproof ones, but they are cut into smaller pieces and their edges are grooved (tongue and groove), which makes it possible to install the sheathing on the frame or roofing system. The use of sheathing also improves soundproofing and thermal insulation.
• As a substrate. The panels can serve as a base for wooden parquet, parquet board or laminated parquet. The underlays have proven themselves when laying new floors or repairing old ones. The sheet must be laid on dry surfaces, such as a wooden frame or a concrete screed. Such material is not subject to deformation and smoothes the unevenness of the floor. The floor becomes significantly warmer, which only improves the comfort of the house.
• In apartments and offices. Can be used in the interior decoration of apartment buildings and offices. Thanks to this, a significant warming of the premises is achieved, as well as sound transmission is reduced.
• As a decorative finish. Based on the ISOPLAAT material, they are created with a decorative finish. This solution simplifies interior decoration. Plates for decorative wall decoration are covered with high-quality wallpaper or linen fabric.

Functions

Fiberboards are widely used in housing construction due to the fact that they have the following functions:

• Wind protection. The ISOPLAAT lining is a breathable material, on the one hand it lets moisture out, and on the other hand it makes it difficult for direct air flow.
• Moisture protection. During production, wood fiber is treated with paraffin, a substance that does not allow moisture to pass through, which ensures moisture resistance.
• Soundproofing. The reduction of noise level and the absence of echo in the rooms is due to the porous structure of the sheet.
• Warming. ISOPLAAT is a material similar in structure to a sponge, for this reason heat accumulates in the room, and building structures do not have time to cool down.
• Structural rigidity. The ability to deform the frame structure is reduced. It is worth noting the direct dependence of stiffness on the thickness of the sheet. So, builders recommend using windproof plates 1.2 cm thick in the construction of one-story structures, and 2.5 cm for two-story ones.

Manufacturing technology

The production of ISOPLAAT material consists of several stages:

1. Selected wood raw materials of coniferous species are crushed, and wood chips are obtained.
2. Wood chips are treated with water vapor and completely saturated with moisture under pressure of 0.8 - 1.0 MPa.
3. There are types of products that go through another stage of additional grinding.
4. Wood fiber is diluted with water up to 98% and, with the help of special equipment, a fiber carpet is formed.
5. The pressed plate is cut into separate pieces of the required size.
6. The sheets are dehumidified in a dryer at temperatures up to 160°C.
7. After drying, the panels can be cut to the size required by the consumer, they are assembled and packaged.

Characteristics

There are four main types of panels:

• windproof;
• heat-insulating;
• roofing;
• floor.

It should be noted that the technical characteristics of the panels are different, so it is better to present them in the form of appropriate tables.

Advantages and disadvantages

The choice in favor of ISOPLAAT building material is due to the following advantages:

• The material is environmentally friendly, natural origin.
• High level of heat and sound insulation with a relatively small thickness.
• Wood fiber is "breathable", that is, it lets steam out.
• Allows you to increase the rigidity of the structure.
• May remain unfinished from 1 month to a year.
• Provides good protection against wind and penetration of cold air, as it breaks the "cold bridges".
• Easy handling and installation.
• Material of the famous European construction brand.
• Used for both exterior and interior decoration.

With the increase in the use of Isoplats, the following shortcomings were identified:

• When exposed to high atmospheric humidity, the material loses strength, so you should not leave the panels in the open air.
• Interior decorating is best left to the professionals.
• High material cost.

Price

Panel prices vary by region. So, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the price for 1 stove is from 600 to 1800 rubles. And in Yekaterinburg, the cost of Isoplats increases to 2,000 rubles. It should be said that the price is largely determined by the type of plate.

When buying building materials, you should pay attention to the parameter by which the price of the product is calculated. In some stores, prices are presented per unit of goods, and sometimes the price is set relative to a square meter of material. On average, the cost for the regions of the CIS is 10 - 30 USD. per unit of product.

Mounting

The following tools and accessories are required for installation:

• construction knife with replaceable blades;
• roulette;
• square;
• hammer and galvanized nails with a wide head, if the installation is carried out with nails;
• construction stapler and staples, if the choice is left for this type of installation;
• construction adhesive, when mounted on a stone base.

Installation of heat-insulating sheathing

• For heat-insulating panels, you should follow the rule: it is necessary to place the building material in the room where the installation will take place for 2-3 days in order to equalize the degree of humidity of the room and the panel. Bars are installed between the sheets for better air circulation.
• Fasteners to a wooden base: an indent from the edge of 10-20 mm is made, staples or nails are driven in at intervals of 150 mm along the edge of the panel and at intervals of 300 mm in the middle.
• Fasteners to the base of stone: the base must be dust-free and smooth. Glue is applied to the back surface of the sheet with a strip indented from the edge of 30 mm, in the middle the glue is applied dropwise with an interval of 200 mm. Sometimes it becomes necessary to support the panels for better contact with the base;
• Nail heads or staples, as well as joints between sheets, are puttied. Before applying paint or before wallpapering, the surface must be primed.

Windshield installation

• The wind protection panel is installed parallel to the frame beams. At the same time, it is necessary that the distance between adjacent beams be about 600 mm, the gap between the sheets should be about 2-3 mm
• If the junction of the panels does not fall on the frame beam, you need to fix a bar under the joint, to which the edges of the sheets will be attached;
• Staples or nails are driven in at a distance of 10 mm from the edge, at 100 mm intervals along the edge of the panel and at 200 mm intervals in the middle;
• A gap is left between the outer skin and Isoplat, to ensure vapor exchange with the external environment.

Installation of roof sheathing

• To install roof panels, the slope of the roof must be at least 20°, and the distance between the rafters must be 600-700 mm;
• Installation begins from the bottom row of the roof, the sheets are laid across the rafters;
• The last sheet in the row is cut off and serves as the beginning of a new row. This method eliminates the combination of tongue and groove grooves of adjacent rows.
• Roof penetrations and ridges are protected with sealing tape to reduce moisture permeability;

Floor underlay installation

• Prior to installation, Izoplat should be placed in the same room for at least 1 day to equalize the humidity level of the plate and the room;
• Between the substrate and the walls, it is necessary to leave a gap of 5-10 mm for swelling;
• The panels are attached at an angle of 45° to the floor covering joints;
• Between the sheets the gap should be 1-2 mm;
• Panels can be attached to the base using glue, nails or staples for better stability;
• The top layer of the floor covering can be laid on the substrate.

Installation of ISOPLAT heat and sound insulation boards on walls and ceilings

Requirements:

• ISOPLATE sheets are used for finishes, alignment, raise soundproofing And thermal insulation in rooms with dry and normal humidity levels.
• Installation must be carried out during the finishing works, i.e. after all "wet" processes are completed, which can significantly increase the humidity in the room. Electrical and plumbing work has also been completed.
• Works should be carried out in dry and normal conditions of humidity.
• Before installation, ISOPLATE sheets should be kept for 1-2 days in the same room in order to equalize the humidity. Put the sheets vertically, place gaskets for air access and avoid the occurrence of sheet curvature.
• If during installation on a frame structure made of a wooden beam (on a crate) there is a horizontal joint of two sheets, then their fastening and joining should be carried out on a horizontal bar (mortgage). Adjacent horizontal joints must be vertically offset relative to each other.
• When finishing the openings of windows and doors, do not allow the joining of sheets at the corners of the opening.
• Sheet ISOPLATE has one side smooth, the other wavy. Mounting is done with the smooth side facing out. Those. the smooth side of the thermal insulation wall panel goes under the finish.
• Ceiling sheathing with ISOPLATE sheets provides for mandatory fastening with nails in increments of 2 times more often than for a wall. The use of wide hats of the "bug" type is recommended. For the best soundproofing effect, a multilayer sheathing is recommended, for example, a GKL sheet is attached close to Isoplat, further supporting the ISOPLATE sheet and enhancing the insulating effect. See the Soundproofing section.
• The placement of electrical wiring in the space of the skin frame should exclude the possibility of damage to it by fasteners (nails, staples, etc.)

IMPORTANT! Do not prime the ISOPLAT slab with an ordinary primer! Useless and harmful!

Foam or glue is applied to the slab around the perimeter. A layer of glue with a thickness of at least 10 mm, foam in a zigzag pattern. Indentation from the edge 30 mm. Additionally, stripes are applied in the center parallel to the extreme ones with a step of 30 cm. Another way to apply glue is an “envelope”, as in the photo.		Fix the sheet with a clamping device. Adjust the joining of the sheets using a level within 5 minutes.
Putty is applied to the previously deepened joint to a width of 50-60 mm. Then the reinforcing tape is laid and smoothed with a spatula while removing excess. Before finishing, prime the surface of the sheet with water-based paint. If the wallpaper is dense or ready to be painted, you can use wallpaper glue as a primer. Apply wallpaper paste twice.		Then the surface of the plates is pasted over with wallpaper. Apply glue liberally to the wallpaper.

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab on a vertical wooden frame (crate).

For the manufacture of a frame structure, a wooden beam with a section of at least 45x45 is used as a partition or sheathing of the base wall. The step of the frame racks depends on the thickness of the plate. Fastening is carried out with galvanized nails with a wide head or construction staples made of stainless steel or coated. The length of the fastener depends on the thickness of the plate. Along the perimeter of the sheet, nails are nailed every 100-150 mm, inside the sheet, every 300 mm. Indent from the edge of the sheet 10-20 mm.

Plate ISOPLAT 12 mm thick.

• The step of the frame racks (center-to-center distance) is 280 mm.
• The length of the nails is not less than 40 mm, the length of the staple is not less than 32 mm.

ISOPLATE plate 25 mm thick.

• The step of the frame racks (center-to-center distance) is 600 mm.
• The length of the nails is not less than 70 mm, the length of the staple is not less than 58 mm.

IMPORTANT! Do not prime the plate with a conventional primer!

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab to a stone (concrete, etc.) wall with glue. Frameless installation.

If the stone surface is sufficiently even, then you can do without the crate. Sheets of Isoplats are glued directly to the wall, due to which the interior space of the room is won.

A simple and quick way is polyurethane mounting foam (Macroflex type, etc.) or polyurethane sealant (Tytan Industry PU type, etc.).

Glue selection:

For experienced craftsmen, drywall adhesive (dry mix based on gypsum or cement, brand of your choice) or mineral wool adhesive (cement-based, for example, CERESIT ST 190 or BAUMIT StarKontakt).

The simplest and most effective way is polyurethane mounting foam (for example, MACROFLEX, PENOSIL, etc.).

Glue can be applied both on the wall and on the sheet. Depends on the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. For example, if the base is even, the adhesive is applied to the sheet in a 50 mm wide strip with a notched trowel around the perimeter and three rows inside the sheet. If the base is uneven, the adhesive is applied in a thick layer of at least 10 mm, as shown in the photo or on the wall with plaques.

Foam is applied to the sheet along the perimeter and three rows along the length inside the sheet. The distance between the rows of foam is approximately 30 cm. The distance from the edge of the sheet is 3 cm. The foam can also be applied in a zigzag pattern, as shown in the photo. For a sheet with a thickness of 12 mm, in order to prevent subsequent swelling of a thin sheet, wait a few minutes after applying the foam so that the foam expands as much as possible.

Then the ISOPLATE sheet is lifted, installed on 10-12 mm pads, pressed against the wall and leveled. The sheet must be pressed against the surface to be bonded for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended to additionally press the glued sheet to the wall with screws. At least 9 pcs. per sheet 3 in a row. Also, the screws will help to fit the joints of the two sheets. After the glue has dried, the screws can be unscrewed. Fill the voids in the joints with glue or foam to prevent the formation of cracks at the joints after puttying. When using glue or foam, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations: types of surfaces to be glued, adhesion time, pressing time, etc.

Before the subsequent (finishing) finishing, it is necessary to wait for the complete drying of the sheet for at least 24 hours.

Attention! Usually the edge sheets on the pallet (applies to thin sheets 12 mm thick) may have slight surface distortions due to the high elasticity and natural properties of the wood. The sheet is easily straightened when mounted on a frame structure, or when laid on a floor or ceiling as an insulating absorbent layer in a multi-layer structure in combination with rigid sheets, such as plasterboard. For gluing to the wall, it is recommended to slightly moisten such sheets with a hand sprayer, lay them on a solid, straight base or on the floor and press them down with a small load. Leave for 24 hours.

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab on the ceiling.

On the ceiling, Isoplat sheets are recommended to be mounted on a wooden frame or metal profile. The pitch of the posts and the length of the fasteners are the same as for mounting on a wooden frame, indicated above. The fastening step is twice as often as on a vertical frame (wall). Fasteners: wide-headed nails or bedbug-headed screws. Then, a GKL sheet is mounted on top of the Isoplat sheet. Further finishing of the GKL sheet is carried out in the usual manner. It is not recommended to glue the Isoplat sheet to the ceiling.

Preparation of ISOPLATE sheet for finishing.

Puttying joints is carried out using a reinforcing mesh ordinary putty (for example, the brand does not matter, but it is advisable to choose a ready-made one in plastic buckets, since there is an optimal amount of water). First, along the joints of the installed sheets, use sandpaper to make a recess of 2-3 mm and a width of 50-60 mm. The usual putty is applied in the joint area of ​​the sheets to the width produced, the reinforcing tape is laid along the joint and smoothed with a spatula while removing excess putty. Do not allow the putty to be completely squeezed out from under the tape. After the first layer of putty has dried (12-24 hours), a covering layer is applied. Recesses formed by nail heads or staples must also be puttied. After drying, the puttied surface is sanded and the entire surface is primed with water-based paint. The smooth surface of the ISOPLATE board is used for wallpapering, painting, and finishing with plaster. For best results in case of high surface quality requirements, usually, continuous finishing puttying is carried out. Then the surface prime with water-based paint. Further finishing of the puttied and primed surface is carried out according to the standard method.

Advice! A primer with water-based paint gives a white base for wallpaper. Plus: the brown dark background will not be visible through the wallpaper. Another plus: in the case of re-gluing the wallpaper, it will be easy to soak and remove the old wallpaper without damaging the surface of the plate. No need to re-sand.

Description of the installation of ISOPLATE sheets to schemes 1-5

1. Fasteners are used on a frame structure or partition made of wooden beams: galvanized nails with a wide hat or staples. The distance from the edge of the plate is 10-20 mm. The fastening pitch along the edge is 100-150 mm and in the center of the sheet - 280 mm.
2. ISOPLATE sheets are nailed to a wooden surface or stapled according to a scheme similar to fasteners on a wooden frame. The distance between the rows of fasteners is 300-400 mm.
3. Fasteners for ISOPLATE sheets 12 and 25 mm thick, respectively. Nails and staples.
4. For lining stone (concrete) walls with ISOPLATE sheets, polyurethane mounting foam (for example, MACROFLEX, PENOSIL) or plasterboard glue (for example, the brand does not matter) is used. The main wall to be lined must be smooth and dust-free (primed). The adhesive is applied to the reverse side of the boards at a distance of 30 mm from the edge of the board. Glue dots with a diameter of 50 mm are applied in the central part of the slab with a pitch of approximately 280 mm.
5. ISOPLATE sheets are nailed to a wooden wall (beam) in increments of 300-400 mm according to the same principle as to a wooden crate.

Alternative

The quality of the leveled surface and wallpapering depends on the qualifications of the repairman, therefore, in order to obtain a guaranteed result that does not depend on the qualifications of the master, save time and optimize the budget, we recommend using ISOTEX decorative panels. ISOTEX decorative panels have a tongue and groove side connection and are already pasted over with high-quality Finnish washable wallpaper at the factory using an industrial press.

Installation of sheets of the Scandinavian windproof plate ISOPLAT

The Scandinavian windproof plate ISOPLAAT is a sheet with a format of 2700x1200 mm. Thickness 12 or 25 mm. The edge of the sheet is straight.

ISOPLATE sheets are installed vertically to the frame structure of the wall (for example, the wall of a frame house from a board 150x50 or a crate on aerated concrete from a bar 50x50 mm). In this case, one sheet covers three vertical racks. The distance between the frame posts from their centers should be 600 mm (see drawing 1).

ISOPLATE sheets are nailed with galvanized nails or professional construction staples along the entire perimeter of the sheet: vertically to the frame posts, horizontally to the strapping elements or to the mortgages. And in the center of the sheet, where auxiliary markings are applied in the center on the painted side.

Horizontal joints of two sheets that do not fall on the strapping element are reinforced with a mortgage (board / beam at least 50x50 mm), to which the edges of the plates are nailed. The mortgage is installed on the inside of the frame structure between the vertical posts and is attached to them with metal corners. Plates are fastened using nails or staples. To facilitate installation, there is a longitudinal strip in the center of the sheet.

The height of the plinth must be at least 40 cm.

If a ventilated facade (lining, siding, etc.) is planned as a decorative wall cladding, it is recommended to install wooden bars or slats (battens) immediately after installing the slabs to give additional rigidity (as shown in the photo on the left, also pay attention to plinth height).

Wind protection boards should be covered with external facade cladding no later than one month after their installation. To ensure moisture exchange between the slab and the skin, an air (ventilated) gap 20-50 mm wide is created.

Mounting 12 mm wind protection plate

Galvanized nails with a wide head at least 40 mm long or staples at least 32 mm long are used (see drawing 3). The nailing distance from the edge of the slab slab must be at least 10 mm. Nails/staples along the edge of the slab are hammered at intervals of 100 mm and in the center of the slab at intervals of 200 mm (see drawing 4). Markings are applied in the center of the plate to facilitate fasteners. The consumption of nails is approximately 25 pieces/m 2 .

Mounting 25 mm wind protection plate

Galvanized nails with a wide head at least 70 mm long or staples at least 58 mm long are used (see drawing 3). The nailing distance from the edge of the slab must be at least 10 mm. Nails/staples are hammered along the edge of the slab with an interval of 100-150 mm and in the center of the slab with a pitch of 280 mm (see Fig. 5). Markings are applied in the center of the plate to facilitate fasteners. The consumption of nails is approximately 15 pieces/m 2 .

Mounting on the roof of the ISOPLAT universal plate tenon-groove on 4 sides 25 mm

In the roof structure, the universal ISOPLAT thorn-groove slab, in addition to the usual functions of wind and hydro protection, additionally performs seamless insulation over the entire area, insulation of cold bridges, directly wooden rafters, and most importantly for the attic - it provides effective sound insulation from precipitation, protecting the sleep of homeowners. Also, due to the high energy intensity, the stove protects the attic from summer overheating.

In the design of the roofing pie, the universal ISOPLATE thorn-groove board takes the place of the wind and waterproofing layer.

Work order

1. Fasten the boards directly to the rafters from the bottom up, in horizontal rows. Installation starts from the bottom row from left to right (Fig. 1). The spike looks up. One sheet must cover at least two rafters. At the end of the lining of the first row, the cut off piece of the outer slab goes to the beginning of the second row (Fig. 2). The vertical joints of adjacent rows are displaced with dressing (like brickwork).

2. Install the crate. The lathing is fastened through Isoplat to the rafters.

3. Further work is carried out in the usual manner, depending on the selected roofing material. Two typical schemes with flexible (soft) tiles and metal tiles are presented below.

Attention! Between the wind and hydroprotective layer and the roofing material (tiles), it is necessary to arrange a ventilated gap (air) to allow moisture to escape from the roof structure.

Table with values

Roof slope - at least 20 degrees

Distance between rafters - 600-700 mm

Ventilated gap - not less than 20 mm

Fasteners - Fe/Zn nail at least 3x70 mm

Indent from the edge - 35 mm (so as not to damage the tenon groove)

Fastening pitch - along the edge 100-150 mm, in the center 200 mm

Fastener consumption - 18 pcs/sheet

Sealing of extreme joints - bitumen-rubber tape, polyurethane sealant

Substrate for laminate ISOPLAT

Before installation, it is recommended to unpack the ISOPLATE substrate and keep it for a day in the same room where they will be installed in order for the humidity of the plate to equalize with that of the surrounding air. This will reduce the subsequent "play" of the plates after they are installed. To do this, the plates are installed on the end, and strips are installed between them to ensure air movement.

The sheets of the substrate are laid on the main surface (subfloor) to each other, and an expansion gap of 5-10 mm is left between the wall and the plates. For this, cut off pieces of the substrate are suitable, which are removed after laying and fixing the plates. Between the plates it is necessary to leave a gap of 1-2 mm. If necessary (for example, under linoleum), sheets can be attached to the main surface either by gluing at several points, or with staples or nails.

The underlay is laid at an angle of 45° to the floor joints. This prevents the joints of the laminate or parquet from matching with the joints of the underlayment. The laminate is laid directly on the substrate sheets.

Decorative panels IZOTEX

Important! Installation of panels is carried out in dry rooms during the period of finishing work, after all the “wet” processes that can significantly increase humidity have been completed, electrical and plumbing wiring has been completed.

Since ISOTEX panels “breathe”, it is recommended to open the package and keep them indoors for 24 hours. For installation, you will need a square, a knife, a tape measure, a pencil, staples for a stapler and the actual construction stapler. For gluing to the walls, "liquid nails" mounting glue is used. If the ceiling or walls are made of wood, gypsum boards or concrete without significant curvature, then the ISOTEX panels are fixed directly to the surface using glue or staples. If the surfaces (walls or ceiling) have large irregularities, a wooden crate is installed under the panels. The panels are easily cut with a sharp carpet knife along a metal ruler. Cut from the side of the decorative coating. Also, any woodworking tools are suitable for cutting: a jigsaw, a circular saw, etc.

IZOTEX wall panels with paper coating

Mounting on a crate

For the crate, wooden planks with a section of 19x44 mm are used. Planks must be installed in 290 mm increments (measured between the centers of the planks). The panels are fastened to the crate with staples 10-14 mm, intervals not more than 100 mm.

Glue mounting

Apply glue strips to the back side of the panel at a distance of about 20 mm from the edges, and in the center of the panel - drops of glue every 200 mm. Press the panel against the wall a little away from the adjacent panel and slide it sideways so that the adhesive surface evens out.

Textile coated wall panels

Glue mounting

Install planks measuring 19x44 mm at 280 mm intervals (measured between the central parts of the planks). In the case of a flat wall, the panels can be fixed to the wall without a crate. Apply glue strips to the back side of the panel at a distance of about 20 mm from the edges, and in the center of the panel - drops of glue every 200 mm. Press the panel against the wall slightly away from the adjacent panel and slide it sideways so that the adhesive surface is level and the panel is attached to the wall without support.

Ceiling panels

Installation on the crate

To carry out the crate on which the ceiling panels are installed, dry wooden slats 50-100 mm wide are used. They are installed at a distance of 280 mm between the midpoints (axes) of the rails (Figure 1). Attach the plates to the rails with brackets, making sure that the distance between them is at least 100 mm. The length of the bracket is 10-14 mm. The end panel must be fastened with nails or screws so that the wall panel closes them. The panels are fastened along the batten and the best result is obtained if the direction of illumination coincides with the direction of the seams.

Installation with glue

Apply glue strips at a distance of 20 mm from the edge of the plate and a drop of glue in the middle of the panel in 200 mm increments (Figure 4). Attach the panel to the ceiling or wall close to the previous plate, push it into the tongue so that the glue slide is smeared and press without additional fastening. Panels with a textile coating are installed on glue or construction clamps directed in different directions. Exact installation instructions are in the product packaging.

When we build our house, we want to make it as warm and environmentally friendly as possible. Unfortunately, many dealers wishful thinking and sell not quite sustainable materials, especially for interior work, the characteristics of which may be questionable. Today we will get acquainted with such a material that does not raise any questions about environmental cleanliness, and its properties should be dealt with in more detail. These are Scandinavian Isoplaat boards, which are used as a universal material for insulation, sound insulation and wind protection.

Isoplat plate, what is it

The Scandinavian countries have always been careful about their resources, especially timber. Even when there was no smell of either a fuel crisis or a special demand for eco-materials, the Finns and Norwegians preferred to buy timber in the USSR, rather than use their forest resources. Therefore, they try to use every chip in a businesslike way.

As a result, Scandinavian technologists have been improving and using Isoplat for more than ten years. What is it, let's figure it out right now, but since each material costs money, let's pay attention to its price. It depends on the area of ​​application of the boards, but as a rule, it is a board made from a mixture of wood pulp and paraffin with a thickness of 12 and 25 mm. Below are the prices for Isoplat of various densities and for different surfaces, for insulation, wind protection and for Isoplat - a substrate for laminate.

Isoplaat plate production technology

The production technology of Isoplaat boards completely eliminates the presence of toxic resins in the material, and even more so, the formaldehyde binder, which in any case is present in all wood-fiber and. In all but Isoplaat. Here, the binding element is wood resin and paraffin, which are absolutely harmless to the human body.

The structure of the material is porous, which means that it has excellent heat and noise insulation properties. The composition of the board is 97% softwood fiber and 3% paraffin. Wood resin is extracted from wood during the formation and preparation of raw materials.

Application and advantages of the material

According to laboratory studies, a 12mm slab is equivalent to a 45mm layer of wood or 22cm of normal brick. Naturally, using these plates at the output, we save on heating and on the materials themselves, since Izoplat is universal and can be used in almost all types of insulation, roofing and finishing works. Here are just a few of the company's products:

• roof slabs are typically 12mm windbreak mats;
• decorative panels for the ceiling;
• substrate under the laminate of several sizes;
• front windproof plates;
• heat-insulating and noise-absorbing boards for interior decoration;
• decorative wall panels.

Its useful properties are quite obvious to specialists, however, the manufacturer provides a whole list of advantages and properties, of which we have selected the main ones:

1. 100% ecological purity. The material is suitable for any premises, no cases of an allergic reaction have been identified.
2. Isoplaat is not afraid of moisture.
3. It works great as a windscreen and, unlike membranes and films, it does not tear or roll down during operation.
4. The slabs allow the walls to breathe, but at the same time do not allow direct air flow.
5. Isoplaat is excellently processed and easy to cut.
6. The material is light. A 12 mm slab measuring 1200x2700 weighs only 9 kg.

Technical and physical characteristics of plates

The characteristics of the boards for different applications are tabulated separately for two types of wind protection mats in terms of thickness:

As well as three types of substrate for laminate:

Especially valuable properties of Isoplaat boards are considered to be a high degree of moisture protection. This was achieved only when about 3% paraffin was introduced into the composition of the wood pulp. As a result, each fiber is placed in a kind of water-repellent cocoon, and this has led to the fact that the material not only does not absorb moisture, but also has an extremely low coefficient of expansion from moisture.

Features of Isoplaat boards

The instructions for use say that in the untreated form, the windproof plate can be left outdoors for 30-40 days. But based on experience, the craftsmen say that absolutely without any finishing, the slabs are able to maintain linear dimensions and all properties throughout the year. On a frame structure, a 12mm slab can ripple after a few months in the air without finishing, but this is perhaps the only limitation in the application of this material.

The advantages of the material include the fact that the Isoplat plate can act as an alternative to drywall, and a full-fledged one. Screws are freely screwed into a 25-mm plate and it can be part of the supporting structure, so it can perform several functions at once - heat-shielding, as a structural material, be an excellent sound insulator, as well as a ventilated partition.

A good modern eco-friendly material, Isoplat boards, of course, will help to make the house cozier, warmer and at the same time save on building and finishing materials. Successful work and successful repair!

• ISOPLATE sheets are used for finishes, alignment, raise soundproofing And thermal insulation in rooms with dry and normal humidity levels.
• Installation must be carried out during the finishing works, i.e. after all "wet" processes are completed, which can significantly increase the humidity in the room. Electrical and plumbing work has also been completed.
• Works should be carried out in dry and normal conditions of humidity.
• Before installation, ISOPLATE sheets should be kept for 1-2 days in the same room in order to equalize the humidity. Put the sheets vertically, place gaskets for air access and avoid the occurrence of sheet curvature.
• If during installation on a frame structure made of a wooden beam (on a crate) there is a horizontal joint of two sheets, then their fastening and joining should be carried out on a horizontal bar (mortgage). Adjacent horizontal joints must be vertically offset relative to each other.
• When finishing the openings of windows and doors, do not allow the joining of sheets at the corners of the opening.
• Sheet ISOPLATE has one side smooth, the other wavy. Mounting is done with the smooth side facing out. Those. the smooth side of the thermal insulation wall panel goes under the finish.
• Ceiling sheathing with ISOPLATE sheets provides for mandatory fastening with nails in increments of 2 times more often than for a wall. The use of wide hats of the "bug" type is recommended. For the best soundproofing effect, a multilayer sheathing is recommended, for example, a GKL sheet is attached close to Isoplat, further supporting the ISOPLATE sheet and enhancing the insulating effect. See the Soundproofing section.
• The placement of electrical wiring in the space of the skin frame should exclude the possibility of damage to it by fasteners (nails, staples, etc.)

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab on a vertical wooden frame (crate)

For the manufacture of a frame structure, a wooden beam with a section of at least 45x45 is used as a partition or sheathing of the base wall. The step of the frame racks depends on the thickness of the plate. Fastening is carried out with galvanized nails with a wide head or construction staples made of stainless steel or coated. The length of the fastener depends on the thickness of the plate. Along the perimeter of the sheet, nails are nailed every 100-150 mm, inside the sheet, every 300 mm. Indent from the edge of the sheet 10-20 mm.

Plate ISOPLAT 12 mm thick.

• The step of the frame racks (center-to-center distance) is 280 mm.
• The length of the nails is not less than 40 mm, the length of the staple is not less than 32 mm.

ISOPLATE plate 25 mm thick.

• The step of the frame racks (center-to-center distance) is 600 mm.
• The length of the nails is not less than 70 mm, the length of the staple is not less than 58 mm.

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab to a stone (concrete, etc.) wall with glue. Frameless installation

If the stone surface is sufficiently even, then you can do without the crate. Sheets of Isoplats are glued directly to the wall, due to which the interior space of the room is won.

A simple and quick way is polyurethane mounting foam (Macroflex type, etc.) or polyurethane sealant (Tytan Industry PU type, etc.).

Glue selection:

- for experienced craftsmen, drywall glue (gypsum or cement-based dry mix, brand of your choice) or mineral wool glue (cement-based, for example, CERESIT ST 190 or BAUMIT StarKontakt).

- the simplest and most effective way is polyurethane mounting foam (for example, MACROFLEX, PENOSIL, etc.).

Glue can be applied both on the wall and on the sheet. Depends on the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. For example, if the base is even, the adhesive is applied to the sheet in a 50 mm wide strip with a notched trowel around the perimeter and three rows inside the sheet. If the base is uneven, the adhesive is applied in a thick layer of at least 10 mm, as shown in the photo or on the wall with plaques.

Foam is applied to the sheet along the perimeter and three rows along the length inside the sheet. The distance between the rows of foam is approximately 30 cm. The indentation from the edge of the sheet is 3 cm. The foam can also be applied in a zigzag pattern, as shown in the photo. For a sheet with a thickness of 12 mm, in order to prevent subsequent swelling of a thin sheet, wait a few minutes after applying the foam so that the foam expands as much as possible.

Then the ISOPLATE sheet is lifted, installed on 10-12 mm pads, pressed against the wall and leveled. The sheet must be pressed against the surface to be bonded for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended to additionally press the glued sheet to the wall with screws. At least 9 pcs. per sheet 3 in a row. Also, the screws will help to fit the joints of the two sheets. After the glue has dried, the screws can be unscrewed. Fill the voids in the joints with glue or foam to prevent the formation of cracks at the joints after puttying. When using glue or foam, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations: types of surfaces to be glued, adhesion time, pressing time, etc.

Before the subsequent (finishing) finishing, it is necessary to wait for the complete drying of the sheet for at least 24 hours.

Attention! Usually the edge sheets on the pallet (applies to thin sheets 12 mm thick) may have slight surface distortions due to the high elasticity and natural properties of the wood. The sheet is easily straightened when mounted on a frame structure, or when laid on a floor or ceiling as an insulating absorbing layer in a multilayer structure in combination with rigid sheets, such as plasterboard. For gluing to the wall, it is recommended to slightly moisten such sheets with a hand sprayer, lay them on a solid, straight base or on the floor and press them down with a small load. Leave for 24 hours.

The procedure for mounting the ISOPLATE slab on the ceiling

On the ceiling, Isoplat sheets are recommended to be mounted on a wooden frame or metal profile. The pitch of the posts and the length of the fasteners are the same as for mounting on a wooden frame, indicated above. The fastening step is twice as often as on a vertical frame (wall). Fasteners: wide-headed nails or bug-headed screws. Then, a GKL sheet is mounted on top of the Isoplat sheet. Further finishing of the GKL sheet is carried out in the usual manner. It is not recommended to glue the Isoplat sheet to the ceiling.

Preparation of ISOPLATE sheet for finishing

Puttying joints is carried out using a reinforcing mesh ordinary putty (for example, the brand does not matter, but it is advisable to choose a ready-made one in plastic buckets, since there is an optimal amount of water). First, along the joints of the installed sheets, use sandpaper to make a recess of 2-3 mm and a width of 50-60 mm. The usual putty is applied in the joint area of ​​the sheets to the width produced, the reinforcing tape is laid along the joint and smoothed with a spatula while removing excess putty. Do not allow the putty to be completely squeezed out from under the tape. After the first layer of putty has dried (12-24 hours), a covering layer is applied. Recesses formed by nail heads or staples must also be puttied. After drying, the puttied surface is sanded and the entire surface is primed with water-based paint. The smooth surface of the ISOPLATE board is used for wallpapering, painting, and finishing with plaster. For best results in case of high surface quality requirements, usually, continuous finishing puttying is carried out. Then the surface prime with water-based paint. Further finishing of the puttied and primed surface is carried out according to the standard method.

A primer with water-based paint gives a white base for wallpaper. Plus: the brown dark background will not be visible through the wallpaper. Another plus: in the case of re-gluing the wallpaper, it will be easy to soak and remove the old wallpaper without damaging the surface of the plate. No need to re-sand.

Description of the installation of ISOPLATE sheets to schemes 1-5

1. Fasteners are used on a frame structure or partition made of wooden beams: galvanized nails with a wide hat or staples. The distance from the edge of the plate is 10-20 mm. The fastening pitch along the edge is 100-150 mm and in the center of the sheet is 280 mm.
2. ISOPLATE sheets are nailed to a wooden surface or stapled according to a scheme similar to fasteners on a wooden frame. The distance between the rows of fasteners is 300-400 mm.
3. Fasteners for ISOPLATE sheets 12 and 25 mm thick, respectively. Nails and staples.
4. For lining stone (concrete) walls with ISOPLATE sheets, polyurethane mounting foam (for example, MACROFLEX, PENOSIL) or plasterboard glue (for example, the brand does not matter) is used. The main wall to be lined must be smooth and dust-free (primed). The adhesive is applied to the reverse side of the boards at a distance of 30 mm from the edge of the board. Glue dots with a diameter of 50 mm are applied in the central part of the slab with a pitch of approximately 280 mm.
5. ISOPLATE sheets are nailed to a wooden wall (beam) in increments of 300-400 mm according to the same principle as to a wooden crate.

Installation of a windproof plate Isoplat

The Scandinavian windproof plate ISOPLAAT is a sheet with a format of 2700x1200 mm. Thickness 12 or 25 mm. The edge of the sheet is straight.

ISOPLATE sheets are installed vertically to the frame structure of the wall (for example, the wall of a frame house from a board 150x50 or a crate on aerated concrete from a bar 50x50 mm). In this case, one sheet covers three vertical racks. The distance between the frame posts from their centers should be 600 mm (see drawing 1).

ISOPLATE sheets are nailed with galvanized nails or professional construction staples along the entire perimeter of the sheet: vertically to the frame posts, horizontally to the strapping elements or to the mortgages. And in the center of the sheet, where auxiliary markings are applied in the center on the painted side.

Horizontal joints of two sheets that do not fall on the strapping element are reinforced with a mortgage (board / beam at least 50x50 mm), to which the edges of the plates are nailed. The mortgage is installed on the inside of the frame structure between the vertical posts and is attached to them with metal corners. Plates are fastened using nails or staples. To facilitate installation, there is a longitudinal strip in the center of the sheet.

The height of the plinth must be at least 40 cm.

If a ventilated facade (lining, siding, etc.) is planned as a decorative wall cladding, it is recommended to install wooden bars or slats (battens) immediately after installing the slabs to give additional rigidity (as shown in the photo on the left, also pay attention to plinth height).

Wind protection boards should be covered with external facade cladding no later than one month after their installation. To ensure moisture exchange between the slab and the skin, an air (ventilated) gap 20-50 mm wide is created.

Mounting 12 mm wind protection plate

Galvanized nails with a wide head at least 40 mm long or staples at least 32 mm long are used (see drawing 3). The nailing distance from the edge of the slab slab must be at least 10 mm. Nails/staples along the edge of the slab are hammered at intervals of 100 mm and in the center of the slab at intervals of 200 mm (see drawing 4). Markings are applied in the center of the plate to facilitate fasteners. The consumption of nails is approximately 25 pieces/m 2 .

Mounting 25 mm wind protection plate

Galvanized nails with a wide head at least 70 mm long or staples at least 58 mm long are used (see drawing 3). The nailing distance from the edge of the slab must be at least 10 mm. Nails/staples are hammered along the edge of the slab with an interval of 100-150 mm and in the center of the slab with a pitch of 280 mm (see Fig. 5). Markings are applied in the center of the plate to facilitate fasteners. The consumption of nails is approximately 15 pieces/m 2 .

Roof Mounting

In the roof structure, the universal ISOPLAT thorn-groove slab, in addition to the usual functions of wind and hydro protection, additionally performs seamless insulation over the entire area, insulation of cold bridges, directly wooden rafters, and most importantly for the attic - it provides effective sound insulation from precipitation, protecting the sleep of homeowners. Also, due to the high energy intensity, the stove protects the attic from summer overheating.

In the design of the roofing pie, the universal ISOPLATE thorn-groove board takes the place of the wind and waterproofing layer.

Work order

1. Fasten the boards directly to the rafters from the bottom up, in horizontal rows. Installation starts from the bottom row from left to right (Fig. 1). The spike looks up. One sheet must cover at least two rafters. At the end of the lining of the first row, the cut off piece of the outer slab goes to the beginning of the second row (Fig. 2). The vertical joints of adjacent rows are displaced with dressing (like brickwork).

2. Install the crate. The lathing is fastened through Isoplat to the rafters.

3. Further work is carried out in the usual manner, depending on the selected roofing material. Two typical schemes with flexible (soft) tiles and metal tiles are presented below.

Between the wind and hydroprotective layer and the roofing material (tiles), it is necessary to arrange a ventilated gap (air) to allow moisture to escape from the roof structure.

Table with values

Roof slope - at least 20 degrees

The distance between the rafters is 600-700 mm

Ventilated gap - not less than 20 mm

Fasteners - Fe / Zn nail at least 3x70 mm

Indent from the edge - 35 mm (so as not to damage the tenon groove)

Fastening pitch - along the edge 100-150 mm, in the center 200 mm

Fastener consumption - 18 pcs/sheet

Sealing of extreme joints - bitumen-rubber tape, polyurethane sealant

Installation of the substrate under the laminate Isoplat

Before installation, it is recommended to unpack the ISOPLATE substrate and keep it for a day in the same room where they will be installed in order for the humidity of the plate to equalize with that of the surrounding air. This will reduce the subsequent "play" of the plates after they are installed. To do this, the plates are installed on the end, and strips are installed between them to ensure air movement.

The sheets of the substrate are laid on the main surface (subfloor) to each other, and an expansion gap of 5-10 mm is left between the wall and the plates. For this, cut off pieces of the substrate are suitable, which are removed after laying and fixing the plates. Between the plates it is necessary to leave a gap of 1-2 mm. If necessary (for example, under linoleum), sheets can be attached to the main surface either by gluing at several points, or with staples or nails.

The underlay is laid at an angle of 45° to the floor joints. This prevents the joints of the laminate or parquet from matching with the joints of the underlayment. The laminate is laid directly on the substrate sheets.

Since ISOTEX panels “breathe”, it is recommended to open the package and keep them indoors for 24 hours. For installation, you will need a square, a knife, a tape measure, a pencil, staples for a stapler and the actual construction stapler. Mounting adhesive "liquid nails" is used for gluing to the walls. If the ceiling or walls are made of wood, gypsum boards or concrete without significant curvature, then the ISOTEX panels are fixed directly to the surface using glue or staples. If the surfaces (walls or ceiling) have large irregularities, a wooden crate is installed under the panels. The panels are easily cut with a sharp carpet knife along a metal ruler. Cut from the side of the decorative coating. Also, any woodworking tools are suitable for cutting: a jigsaw, a circular saw, etc.
