Insulation and good craftsmanship are among the success criteria behind one of the world's most energy-efficient silicon plants. The energy recovery plant at Elkem Salten recovers as much as 300 GWH per year, enough electricity for 15,000 households. In 2021, the Prime Minister cut the red ribbon. We spoke to Trøndelag Isolering and Ranbergs Isolering, who were commissioned to insulate the plant.

This was just one of the relevant questions asked at the Fire Safety Conference in Tromsø on 22-23 March.

Digitalisation has long since reached the insulation industry, and among our customers we see an increased interest in using the webshop. One of them is HNH Isolering, which now makes all its purchases online - ‘We use it around the clock,’ says general manager Kim Håvak.

Whether you're a tradesman or an office worker, you're bound to have a relationship with Tec7. On the building site, in the marina, at the campsite and in the most unimaginable places, both above and below water, people swear by Tec7 to glue, grout and fasten things so they really fit. But did you know that Tec7 was actually invented by Japanese earthquake researchers?

Words and expressions related to fire insulation can often seem confusing. There are many thicknesses and fire classes to keep track of. Isopartner provides you with the right fire insulation for steel columns and beams, as well as what you need for fire insulation of penetrations. You don't have to worry about dimensioning and fire classification of the insulation thickness.

When Rockwool launched the Conlit 150 in the early 1990s, it was an innovation that streamlined the insulator's day-to-day work and made it possible to save space when insulating load-bearing steel structures. The 300 series is still the only one in the world that can produce it.

As an insulator and craftsman, your day is so much easier when you have your equipment in order - and not least - order in your equipment. A tough, simple and popular solution we supply a lot of these days is the PACKOUT™ case system from Milwaukee.

First impressions were surprising; the product was so light and attractive when it was delivered to the construction site in Rosevinge Park in Moss that the fitters wondered whether they had received the right material. They had expected something similar to the old, heavy mesh mats they were used to working with.

With the new NH/Armaflex Smart, Armacell has solved the problems associated with halogen-free cellular rubber. Where previously the insulation was sensitive and easily cracked, installers now have a product that behaves more like normal cellular rubber.

The price of building materials has risen sharply in recent years, but technical insulation has so far not followed the trend seen for wood, for example. Now the price increase is also affecting our industry. Arne Schultz, Managing Director of Isopartner, explains the underlying reasons for the price increase.

From 1 May, Isopartner will be the exclusive distributor of Goebel's well-known quality products in Norway.

Selected customers can now get the most current products from Glava Marine quickly delivered from our warehouse in Bergen.

The large product range can make it difficult to find the right product. We take a closer look at how to choose the right product and we will look at areas of use, requirements for the product, installation methods and documentation.

HVAC-systems make noise from one room to another. Without acoustic treatment, pipes and ducts act as paths where sound can be transmitted throughout the building.

Weight is playing an increasingly important role in the entire insulation industry. Less emphasis on insulation allows for cost savings and has an environmental effect. Together with Bjørn Frostmann from Armacell GmbH, Norway, we have looked at factors that must be taken into account when it comes to weight and weight calculation.

When a water pipe is located in confined / unheated rooms, where the ambient temperature can drop to 0˚C, it can have the consequence that the water freezes, the water pipe expands and thus cracks.

Trond Erik Johansen is employed as Key Account Manager (KAM) in Isopartner and comes from Kaefer Construction where he has been project manager in recent years.
