The main feature of insulation, consisting of bonded mineral fibers - high air permeability. Straight through interfiber pores in the material is permeable to air, gaseous and liquid water, regardless of density Minplita . Some manufacturers believe most breathable mineral wool her dignity: fibrous insulation materials do not hinder the movement of steam out through the exterior walls. However, none SNIP does not permit the use of insulation and building envelope to dry indoor air exist for this ventilation system.
