The benefits of these products include several characteristics.

• Excellent thermal insulation. Minvata perfectly retains heat indoors, significantly reducing the level of heat loss.
• Good soundproofing. The fibrous structure and density of the boards create an increased level of sound insulation, creating the most comfortable conditions for your stay.
• Increased fire resistance. Insulation belongs to the group of non-combustible materials, as it is resistant to fire.

• Environmental Safety. The use of basalt rocks, as well as a powerful cleaning system, contributes to the production of mineral wool that is absolutely safe for health.
• Resistance to deformation and sudden changes in temperature. Even in the process of compression, the products perfectly retain their original qualities and are able to withstand maximum loads.
• Good vapor permeability. Plates do not accumulate moisture at all, allowing it to fully penetrate the structure.
• Ease of installation. The material can be easily cut and laid, which makes the installation process quick and convenient.
• Affordable cost. The entire range is characterized by a reasonable price, due to which the products are widely used in the construction industry.

Its original qualities are perfectly preserved during the entire period of operation, which creates the most favorable conditions both inside and outside the premises, regardless of its direct purpose.

A wide range of Ecover mineral slabs allows everyone to choose the best option, taking into account the characteristics of the house, as well as individual wishes. All models of this insulation, depending on the purpose, are presented in several series, such as:

• universal plates;
• for the facade;
• for the roof;
• for the floor.

Several products belong to the lightweight universal types of insulation "Ecover".

• Light. Minplate, presented in three varieties, with a standard level of thermal conductivity.
• "Light Universal". The most popular are "Light Universal 35 and 45", which have an increased level of compressibility.
• "Acoustic". Stone insulation is maximally resistant to shrinkage, due to which it perfectly traps extraneous noise.
• "Standard". Available in two versions "Standard 50" and Standard 60 ". Its difference consists in increased strength, which makes the material resistant to mechanical stress.

Basically, these options for mineral wool are used to insulate loggias or floors. They are always appropriate where there is a solid base for their installation.

Basalt insulation "Ecover" with reinforced thermal insulation is produced especially for outdoor use. It comes in three varieties.

• "Eco-façade". Eco-façade slabs are characterized by rigidity due to increased hydrophobicity.
• "Facade decor". Mineral wool intended for use on plastered surfaces for the purpose of warming rooms.
• "Vent-facade". Insulation with the most dense texture, which is used both inside and outside, providing a high level of thermal insulation. Vent-façade 80 is especially popular in this series.

Thermal insulation "Ecover" from the "Roof" line is mainly used on roofs with a flat surface, subject to active use. Such models are capable of creating strong and reliable protection against adverse factors. The room, the roof and walls of which are equipped with insulating plates of this type, is characterized by an increased level of sound and thermal insulation, and also belongs to the fire-resistant category.

Mineral wool "Ecover Step" is ideal for arranging the floor. It is often used to insulate basements where increased sound insulation is required. In addition, this material is actively used at home, where there is a need for insulation. A high level of resistance to stress is achieved due to the unique texture of the products. This feature allows the material to be used not only on concrete objects, but also on metal structures.

The versatility of Ecover mineral wool allows it to be used in almost any construction industry. In the field of construction and repair, such products are considered simply irreplaceable, since they harmoniously combine all the qualities that are needed to create comfortable conditions in a house or other kind of room.

The main areas of application of this material are:

• walls and internal partitions;
• loggias and balconies;
• attic floors;
• floors;

• ventilated facades;
• roof;
• pipelines, heating and ventilation systems.

Due to its low weight, ease of installation and affordable cost, Ecover thermal insulation is actively used in domestic conditions, as well as in industrial and public places.

When starting the choice of mineral wool, you should definitely take into account its parameters. The standard sizes of Ecover insulation are as follows:

• length 1000 mm;
• width 600 mm;
• thickness within 40-250 mm.

The level of moisture absorption of products is 1 kg per 1 m2. Good heat resistance is provided by a structure of stone-basalt fibers and a special binder, which is able to withstand maximum heating.

Numerous reviews indicate that it is rather difficult to determine its quality by the appearance of the Ecover insulation, so the choice of these products should be approached with great responsibility.

• The availability of the relevant quality certificates from the seller is an important guarantee that the material is original and made in accordance with GOST.
• Packaging in the form of a special heat-shrinkable polyethylene film reliably protects mineral wool from external factors. It should be stored on pallets in order to maintain integrity, as well as easy loading and unloading. During transportation, this insulation should not be exposed to moisture.
• The producer of mineral wool "Ecover" recommends paying attention to the presence of the corporate marking, applied in the form of a dark stripe. During installation, this surface must be fixed to the wall, thus forming a good base for plastering work.
• It is worth noting that the insulation of this brand can retain its original qualities for 50 years of operation. In addition, to carry out the installation process, it is enough to have the most elementary tools at hand.

• Strict adherence to the instructions on the packaging will help prevent the occurrence of various errors and alterations during the installation process. The edges of Ecover products should be neat so that the joints are as smooth as possible and suitable for further processing.
• Mineral insulation is recommended to be tightly fixed to a particular surface in order to create a truly high-quality effect. For reliable insulation of a flat-type roof, thermal insulation boards should be laid in 2 layers. If the installation is carried out in an attic in operation, then in this case it is necessary to use a special two-layer mineral wool.
• When starting to cut Ecover slabs, it is recommended to adhere exactly to the required dimensions in order to prevent the appearance of gaps, which can become sources of cold penetration. This stage of work should be done in special protective clothing, as well as gloves, glasses and a mask. The room where the installation is carried out must be subject to full ventilation. It is strictly forbidden to move on the surface of the slabs so as not to violate their protective properties.

• Immediately before purchasing Ecover products, it is recommended to study in detail the general characteristics and purpose of this or that instance. Be sure to take into account the density of the material.
• It is believed that the higher the degree of density of products, the lower their thermal insulation properties. It must be remembered that only a professional approach to the process of choosing a mineral insulation can provide the desired result in the form of a high-quality installation and a long service life of the products themselves.
