Polyurethane Systems for building and industry

Knowing the insulation needs of buildings is fundamental to improve their energy efficiency and so that they make a more intelligent use of energy. Therefore, designing their envelope with the optimum insulation thickness is the best strategy to get the most...

Control of indoor air humidity is key to the healthiness of buildings. Even if at first glance we can not perceive the amount of water vapour that is present in the room, on average a person perspires between 3 and 5 litres of water vapour per day.

When facing the challenge of renovating a building, insulation is regarded as a wasteful expenditure of money by the owners and as a major challenge by professionals due to the great diversity of insulating materials in the market.

The current trend in architecture is to achieve more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. The aim is to reduce polluting emissions while increasing the economic viability of the dwellings. 

A thermal insulation material is, generally speaking, a material used in construction and other industries to improve the thermal behavior of building envelopes. All the materials used in the building sector have a higher or lower resistance to thermal transmittance.

Choosing the right insulation materials for a façade is one of the most important decisions when designing a building, since the building's energy efficiency and the comfort of its occupants will depend on this choice to a great extent.
