Isover SH

Product characteristics

Insulating boards made of basalt mineral wool, the production of which is based on the method of pulping the melt of a mixture of rocks, recycled material and other ingredients. The created mineral fibers are processed into the final shape of the boards within the production line. These boards are hydrophobized in the entire volume and have mainly longitudinal fiber orientation. The boards must be protected in a suitable way in the structure (vapour-proof foil, waterproofing, spreading layer of a flat roof, etc.). 

Usage

Isover SH boards are intended primarily as the top layer of the thermal insulation layer of flat roofs with above-standard requirements for compressive strength, point load and safety, especially for roofs with higher operational loads, such as terraces or green roofs. They ensure high-quality load distribution with minimal deformation of the waterproofing, together with high resistance to trampling during installation or maintenance. A suitable combination is with Isover T, Isover R, Isover LAM 70, 50 and 30 boards, which are laid as the bottom layer, with the Isover SD and Isover DK slope system, as well as with Isover AK attic wedges, which help the transition of the waterproofing from horizontal to vertical direction. A waterproofing layer is usually applied directly to Isover SH boards, most often anchored or weighted.

Packaging, transport, storage

Isover SH insulating boards are packed in PE foil up to a maximum height of 1.3 m. The boards must be transported in covered means of transport under conditions that exclude their wetting or other deterioration. They are stored in covered dry areas lying down to a maximum layer height of 2 m.
